Sam Bailey and Nicholas McDonald will compete for the X Factor UK Grand Finals tomorrow, Sunday, December 15, 2013. Luke Friend was eliminated on Saturday, December 14, 2013.

The 36 year-old prison guard and the 17- year old student would vie for the X Factor UK crown. While Sam Bailey has been leading the public vote in most episodes, Nicholas McDonald could easily snatch the lead from her with his equally powerful voice, unassuming and adorable ways.

“This is a big thing for me, this could change my life.”

Nicholas McDonald would, apparently, say the same thing. On his Official Twitter account he exclaimed:
