0:01:400:01:42

And my favourite - Noel Gallagher. Yes!

0:01:420:01:44

So, next we've got Santa's sackful of amazing

0:01:460:01:49

performances from top tributes whose job it is to look,

0:01:490:01:53

sound and move just like the real thing.

0:01:530:01:55

Tributes singers have never been more popular,

0:01:570:01:59

headlining festivals and packing out West End shows.

0:01:590:02:02

We've brought together five absolute crackers who will each

0:02:030:02:06

0:02:060:02:08

0:02:200:02:22

Even Better Than The Real Thing Christmas champion,

0:02:220:02:24

joining Witney Houston in our Hall Of Fame.

0:02:240:02:28

So, who are the festive five going head-to-head tonight?

0:02:310:02:34

It's Michael Buble!

0:02:350:02:36

CHEERING

0:02:360:02:37

Michael Jackson!

0:02:370:02:39

John Lennon!

0:02:390:02:41

Kylie Minogue!

0:02:410:02:43

And Bruce Springsteen! CHEERING

0:02:430:02:46

Is this Christmas? I think it is.

0:02:460:02:49

So, who's the first act coming down our chimney?

0:02:490:02:52

I've been a professional Kylie Minogue tribute artist

0:02:550:02:57

for 15 years now.

0:02:570:02:59

I have my own Kylie theatre show which has taken me right around the

0:03:020:03:04

world, and in total, I've performed to nearly one million people.

0:03:040:03:08

Kylie herself has seen footage of me perform

0:03:120:03:14

and she endorsed our show as the best in the world.

0:03:140:03:17

I've played in 16 different countries, but never in Britain.

0:03:180:03:22

So I'm really excited to perform for Kylie's UK fans tonight

0:03:220:03:25

and to do my favourite showgirl proud.

0:03:250:03:27

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:290:03:30

# Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree

0:03:420:03:46

# For me

0:03:460:03:49

# I've been an awful good girl, Santa baby

0:03:490:03:54

# And hurry down the chimney tonight

0:03:540:03:58

# Oooh

0:04:020:04:03

# Think of all the fun I've missed

0:04:030:04:07

# Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed

0:04:080:04:14

# Next year I could be just as good

0:04:140:04:19

# If you'll check out my Christmas list

0:04:190:04:26

# Santa baby, I want a yacht

0:04:260:04:29

# And, really, that's not a lot

0:04:290:04:34

# Been an angel all year

0:04:340:04:37

# Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

0:04:370:04:42

# Ooh

0:04:470:04:48

# Come and trim my Christmas tree

0:04:480:04:53

# With some decorations bought at Tiffany's

0:04:530:04:59

# I really do believe in you

0:04:590:05:04

# Let's see if you believe in me

0:05:040:05:09

# Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing

0:05:100:05:16

# A ring

0:05:160:05:18

# I don't mean on the phone

0:05:180:05:21

# Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

0:05:210:05:29

# Hurry down the chimney tonight

0:05:290:05:35

# Hurry

0:05:350:05:36

# Tonight! #

0:05:360:05:39

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:05:410:05:42

Oh, my gosh. Wowzers!

0:05:530:05:55

That was absolutely fantastic!

0:05:550:05:58

-Oh, thank you.

-Note perfect, by the way.

-Thank you, thank you.

0:05:580:06:01

So when you are not Kylie Minogue, who are you?

0:06:010:06:03

My name is Lucy Holmes and I'm an Aussie, like Kylie!

0:06:030:06:05

She's an Aussie! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:070:06:11

-And...I believe Kylie actually knows of you?

-She does.

0:06:110:06:14

She sent a film crew to film our show, many years ago.

0:06:140:06:17

And then she just started following us on Twitter

0:06:170:06:20

and the whole family's come to the show,

0:06:200:06:21

-Dannii and I have sung a duet together at a show.

-No!

0:06:210:06:24

It's a crazy, crazy, crazy world.

0:06:240:06:26

You're like the third Minogue sister.

0:06:260:06:28

-Yeah, kind of the disowned one.

-LAUGHTER

0:06:280:06:30

Because it's strange. With all the tributes,

0:06:300:06:33

when I talk to you all and I'm looking at you, it's kind of spooky

0:06:330:06:35

because I've met Kylie before and spoke to her and it's so uncanny.

0:06:350:06:39

But that was one hell of a performance, that -

0:06:390:06:41

-let me tell you that.

-Thank you.

0:06:410:06:43

APPLAUSE So unbelievable.

0:06:430:06:44

What do you think about the UK audience?

0:06:460:06:48

Oh, they're gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful.

0:06:480:06:50

I'm so excited to be here.

0:06:500:06:51

Do you know where you should tour? A little place called Bolton.

0:06:510:06:55

CHEERING

0:06:550:06:56

Oh. Oh! It's like Beverly Hills.

0:06:560:07:00

But...a bit dirtier.

0:07:000:07:02

Stiff competition tonight.

0:07:020:07:05

Are you competitive yourself?

0:07:050:07:07

Look, I think everyone here is so super friendly and it's a great

0:07:070:07:10

atmosphere, but I think deep down everybody kind of wants to win.

0:07:100:07:13

-Absolutely.

-I'm watching my back.

0:07:130:07:15

If Bruce Springsteen is behind me.

0:07:150:07:17

Kylie Minogue, everybody!

0:07:170:07:19

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:190:07:21

-You all right, George?

-All right, how are you?

0:07:240:07:26

One more to go. After everyone has performed,

0:07:260:07:28

our audience will vote for their top three who will go on to sing

0:07:280:07:32

a truly unique duet with one of these lot.

0:07:320:07:34

Five solos, three duets, one winner.

0:07:340:07:37

Thank God I got that right.

0:07:370:07:39

Right, I fancy another Christmas song.

0:07:390:07:41

Let's meet the next tribute, ho-ho-hoping

0:07:410:07:43

to impress our audience.

0:07:430:07:44

I'm a professional tribute to the swing pop superstar Michael Buble.

0:07:470:07:51

I've been singing as Michael Buble for around seven years now.

0:07:520:07:56

Singing to thousands in my hometown theatre was probably

0:07:580:08:01

the highlight of my career so far.

0:08:010:08:03

I've performed in many different countries around the world,

0:08:060:08:08

but never on TV.

0:08:080:08:09

I just can't wait to go out there and be the best Buble I can be.

0:08:110:08:14

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:160:08:20

# It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

0:08:250:08:31

# Everywhere you go

0:08:310:08:34

# Take a look at the five and ten

0:08:360:08:38

# It's glistening once again

0:08:380:08:41

# With candy canes and silver lanes that glow

0:08:410:08:45

# It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

0:08:450:08:51

# Toys in every store

0:08:510:08:55

# But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

0:08:560:09:01

# On your own front door

0:09:010:09:06

# A pair of hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots

0:09:060:09:09

# Is the wish of Barney and Ben

0:09:090:09:12

# Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk

0:09:120:09:15

# Is the hope of Janice and Jen

0:09:150:09:18

# And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

0:09:180:09:23

# It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

0:09:230:09:28

# Everywhere you go

0:09:280:09:32

# There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well

0:09:320:09:38

# It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

0:09:380:09:42

# It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

0:09:430:09:49

# Toys in every store

0:09:490:09:54

# But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

0:09:540:09:59

# On your own front door

0:09:590:10:05

# Sure, it's Christmas

0:10:050:10:10

# Once

0:10:100:10:14

# More. #

0:10:140:10:19

Merry Christmas everybody!

0:10:190:10:21

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:10:210:10:23

In you come! Sit yourself down!

0:10:300:10:32

Well done! Oh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

0:10:350:10:38

I tell you, looking at the ladies in the audience,

0:10:380:10:40

they were like, "Ohhh!"

0:10:400:10:42

Oh, it was absolutely fantastic.

0:10:420:10:44

Michael Buble, everyone! Come on!

0:10:440:10:46

-CHEERING

-Thank you so much.

0:10:460:10:48

You all right?

0:10:480:10:49

How are you doing, all right?

0:10:510:10:52

So, when you are not being Canada's favourite crooner, who are you?

0:10:530:10:57

My name is Pete. And I'm a Paddy McGuinness tribute.

0:10:580:11:01

You look it. Yeah.

0:11:010:11:04

-You've got more hair.

-Yeah, just about.

-OK, where are you from, Pete?

0:11:040:11:08

-I'm from Wales. I live in Spain right now. So...

-OK, all right.

0:11:080:11:13

Is that where you kind of perform, you do all round Europe?

0:11:130:11:17

Yeah. I sing all around the world. I'm really, really fortunate.

0:11:170:11:20

But my base is Marbella. I sing there a lot, too.

0:11:200:11:23

In fact, they don't even know me as Pete over there,

0:11:230:11:25

-they just call me Buble.

-Really? Yeah.

0:11:250:11:28

Did you always start off as Buble or were you someone else first?

0:11:280:11:30

Yeah, I did, yeah. My brother-in-law is a Robbie Williams tribute.

0:11:300:11:33

So he's been doing it for a long time,

0:11:330:11:35

-like for 35 years or something.

-I don't think Robbie's 35, is he?

0:11:350:11:39

-Just checking.

-And he suggested that I try it out

0:11:390:11:43

and I gave it one go and here we are.

0:11:430:11:46

Well, it's absolutely fantastic.

0:11:460:11:48

-Give him a round of applause. Michael Buble, everybody!

-Cheers.

0:11:480:11:52

Thanks, Pete.

0:11:520:11:53

Let's have a little chat around here.

0:11:540:11:56

It's Adele, everybody!

0:11:590:12:03

CHEERING

0:12:030:12:05

-How was that? How was that?

-That was absolutely beautiful.

0:12:050:12:09

You can tell he puts so much work into his singing.

0:12:090:12:12

-You sounded even better than the real thing.

-Ooh!

-Marry me!

0:12:120:12:16

Ooh! Ohh!

0:12:160:12:17

Wrong show. Wrong show, Adele.

0:12:170:12:19

CHEERING

0:12:190:12:22

Tributes are everywhere.

0:12:220:12:23

Like shiny baubles on the Christmas tree,

0:12:230:12:26

you can never have too many.

0:12:260:12:27

So we've packed loads of them into a big room

0:12:270:12:29

and sat back and enjoyed the fun.

0:12:290:12:31

We've got five of the best competing to be our Christmas champion.

0:12:330:12:37

But there are thousands of tribute acts out there

0:12:370:12:40

from real professionals to amateur fans,

0:12:400:12:42

who just love to celebrate their favourite singers.

0:12:420:12:45

Come on, what would you like for Christmas as a Beatle?

0:12:470:12:49

-Peace on earth.

-Merry Christmas, my friend. Merry Christmas.

0:12:490:12:53

-Alice and Frank.

-Yeah, that's the one.

0:12:530:12:55

-What do you do in the day, Stevie?

-Sit on the settee, watch the news.

0:12:580:13:01

People have thought that I was Britney's mum,

0:13:040:13:06

because I'm obviously a lot older than Britney.

0:13:060:13:09

Merry Christmas to you, Ned Sheeran.

0:13:090:13:11

-I mean, Ed Sheeran, not Ned Sheeran.

-LAUGHTER

0:13:110:13:15

The biggest request for me at Christmas is always

0:13:150:13:17

Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin' Stevens.

0:13:170:13:20

# Snow is falling all around me

0:13:220:13:27

# Children playing... #

0:13:270:13:28

How's it going? It's Justin Bieber.

0:13:280:13:30

We're here at Even Better Than The Real Thing. Let's go.

0:13:300:13:32

# It's the season, love and under... #

0:13:320:13:34

I get pictures, I get reactions, get paparazzi'd - everything that

0:13:340:13:37

Bieber gets, I get, other than his bank account, unfortunately.

0:13:370:13:41

# Time for parties... #

0:13:410:13:43

-I'm Amazing Faith.

-My act is called Ja'mirror'quai.

0:13:430:13:46

-We are The Killerz tribute act.

-With a Z.

0:13:460:13:49

It's so hard, because I can't see. I'm sorry.

0:13:500:13:53

I believe everyone is having a good time, as much as I can tell. Ha-ha!

0:13:540:13:59

# Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

0:13:590:14:02

# But I think I'll miss this one this year... #

0:14:020:14:04

-Ed and the real Beyonce are like best bezzies, innit they?

-Yeah.

0:14:040:14:08

-You know...

-You're getting there...

0:14:080:14:11

We should definitely like...

0:14:110:14:13

Has there ever been any chemistry

0:14:160:14:17

between the two of you, relationship-wise?

0:14:170:14:20

-She's always fancied me, to be fair.

-LAUGHTER

0:14:200:14:22

Yeah! No, we're very much like brother and sister.

0:14:220:14:26

# Oh!

0:14:260:14:28

# My love... #

0:14:280:14:30

It's been a surreal experience to see this many tributes.

0:14:300:14:34

You don't normally get a chance to see this many.

0:14:340:14:36

# Everybody Thank God it's Christmas... #

0:14:370:14:40

Yeah!

0:14:410:14:43

Cheers.

0:14:450:14:46

-Are you all right there, darling?

-Thank you.

-Absolutely amazing.

0:14:460:14:49

Beautiful, love it.

0:14:490:14:51

Merry, merry Christmas everybody.

0:14:530:14:55

CHEERING

0:15:030:15:06

What a night.

0:15:070:15:09

You've not lived till you've seen Mick Jagger arm wrestling

0:15:090:15:11

Celine Dion over a prawn ring.

0:15:110:15:13

Right, time for our next Christmas crooner.

0:15:130:15:15

I've been performing as Michael Jackson for five years now.

0:15:190:15:22

I get to perform as him in London's West End

0:15:260:15:28

to thousands of people a week.

0:15:280:15:29

I got to tour in Germany as Michael.

0:15:320:15:33

It was the greatest experience of my life.

0:15:330:15:35

When I grow up, I want to be big Michael Jackson.

0:17:510:17:54

Yeah, come on!

0:18:030:18:04

Michael Jackson!

0:18:050:18:08

Yes!

0:18:080:18:10

Oh!

0:18:110:18:13

Whoo!

0:18:140:18:17

Merry Christmas everybody!

0:18:180:18:20

CHEERING

0:18:200:18:22

Wow! That blew everybody away, that was unbelievable.

0:18:240:18:27

-What's your real name?

-Eshan.

-Eshan. How old are you?

-14.

-14?!

0:18:270:18:32

Wowzers! And are the family in tonight?

0:18:340:18:36

Yeah, my mum and dad, they're over there.

0:18:360:18:39

Hello!

0:18:390:18:40

Hello!

0:18:400:18:42

Yeah, my mum still cries sometimes when I perform.

0:18:420:18:44

Your mum still cries when you perform?

0:18:440:18:46

Oh! To be fair, my mum will cry when I perform on telly.

0:18:470:18:50

LAUGHTER Not in that way.

0:18:500:18:52

I believe you've met one of the Jacksons, as well?

0:18:520:18:54

-Yeah, Jermaine Jackson.

-Tell me about that.

0:18:540:18:57

Well, I was doing a Germany tour and I was performing ...

0:18:570:19:00

I love that, "I was doing a Germany tour."

0:19:000:19:02

LAUGHTER As you do when you're 14.

0:19:020:19:05

And I met him. And we were talking.

0:19:060:19:08

I got his autograph and he said, "I'm so thankful that you're keeping

0:19:080:19:11

-"Michael Jackson's legacy alive."

-Wow.

0:19:110:19:14

That is some tribute there. That is some tribute.

0:19:140:19:17

Well, I tell you what, you were absolutely fantastic tonight.

0:19:190:19:22

Give it up for Michael Jackson!

0:19:220:19:24

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Wow!

0:19:240:19:26

Wow! Oh!

0:19:260:19:27

Whitney, now, on the last show, you obviously did a duet with

0:19:300:19:33

the grown-up Michael Jackson. What do you make of the young one?

0:19:330:19:36

Oh, my goodness, isn't he incredible? You are incredible!

0:19:360:19:40

CHEERING

0:19:400:19:41

George Michael, how will these guys be feeling tonight?

0:19:430:19:47

I mean... It's just really terrifying, you know.

0:19:470:19:50

Even after 24 years of doing this, you walk out to the stage

0:19:500:19:55

and you're singing to almost like the Live Aid of the tribute

0:19:550:19:58

bands, you know, and your nerves just go to another place.

0:19:580:20:01

George on the last show did a duet with Dolly Parton. It was epic.

0:20:010:20:05

It was fantastic. OK. Liam Gallagher.

0:20:050:20:08

I would love to go round your house on Christmas morning.

0:20:080:20:10

A couple of shots of eggnog. Opening his presents behind his back.

0:20:100:20:14

# Sunshine... #

0:20:150:20:17

All right. Three down, two more to go.

0:20:170:20:21

And then our audience get to vote. Who's next?

0:20:210:20:24

I perform as the legendary Bruce Springsteen.

0:20:260:20:28

I've been working as Bruce for four years now,

0:20:300:20:32

but I've been a massive fan most of my life.

0:20:320:20:35

I have my own band and we put on a full show

0:20:380:20:39

just like the Boss himself.

0:20:390:20:41

I still have the day job to pay the bills,

0:20:430:20:45

but if I win tonight, maybe that can change.

0:20:450:20:47

I love the energy Bruce Springsteen has when he performs and I can't

0:20:490:20:52

wait to try and bring some of that onto the stage with me tonight.

0:20:520:20:55

CHEERING

0:23:010:23:05

Bruce Springsteen, everybody!

0:23:050:23:07

Woo!

0:23:100:23:11

-That guitar is not going to go off again, is it?

-I hope not.

0:23:110:23:14

All right, OK.

0:23:140:23:15

So, listen, when you're not being The Boss, who are you?

0:23:150:23:19

-My family call me Jerry.

-Jerry.

0:23:190:23:22

And when did you decide to sort of let loose your inner Bruce?

0:23:220:23:25

When did you start performing?

0:23:250:23:27

I've been doing the Springsteen thing for about four years.

0:23:270:23:29

Yeah, I wanted to do a Springsteen tribute for quite a while

0:23:290:23:32

and I finally got my act together, so to speak.

0:23:320:23:35

So you're a big fan of Bruce Springsteen?

0:23:350:23:36

Yeah, I've been a big fan for most of my life. Yeah.

0:23:360:23:38

Some friends and things turned me on to Bruce Springsteen

0:23:380:23:41

when I was quite young.

0:23:410:23:42

-And do you follow him when he tours?

-Yeah, I did.

0:23:420:23:45

I've become a bit of a super fan.

0:23:450:23:47

I saw him four times last year, different parts in the world.

0:23:470:23:50

Do you have a bit of a fanbase yourself, people, you know,

0:23:500:23:53

watch you touring round?

0:23:530:23:54

-Probably my little boy is probably my biggest fan.

-Your little boy?

0:23:540:23:57

Yeah, I kind of lied to him, I told him I'm actually Bruce Springsteen.

0:23:570:24:01

-How old is she?

-He's six.

-What's he called?

-Jack.

-Jack.

0:24:010:24:04

So six-year-old Jack thinks you are Bruce Springsteen?

0:24:040:24:07

-He thinks I'm Bruce Springsteen, yeah.

-That'll be hilarious,

0:24:070:24:09

especially if you ever meet the real Bruce Springsteen

0:24:090:24:12

and he's calling him Daddy.

0:24:120:24:13

You'll be like, "Whoa, what's going on here?"

0:24:130:24:15

OK, give him a round of applause. Bruce Springsteen, everyone.

0:24:150:24:17

CHEERING

0:24:170:24:20

All right.

0:24:200:24:21

I said it on the last show, and I'm going to say it again,

0:24:210:24:24

I'm going to say it every single time I see you, Tina.

0:24:240:24:28

How am I doing?

0:24:280:24:30

Let me see now...

0:24:300:24:31

# You're simply the best. #

0:24:310:24:33

Yes! Yes. CHEERING

0:24:330:24:37

We're nearly ready for our next act, but I've just heard that

0:24:370:24:40

Dolly Parton has broken a heel, everyone.

0:24:400:24:43

-AUDIENCE:

-Aww.

0:24:430:24:44

Don't worry, I've got it covered.

0:24:440:24:46

Prince, send us down your shoes, son.

0:24:460:24:48

I've been performing now as John Lennon for about 18 years.

0:24:520:24:55

Being John has taken me

0:24:560:24:58

all the way to Broadway in New York as part of a Beatles tribute.

0:24:580:25:01

I play to crowds over 20,000 performing as the Beatles legend.

0:25:020:25:06

I now play the stage where it all started for John,

0:25:080:25:10

the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool.

0:25:100:25:12

I'm honoured to keep Lennon's legacy alive

0:25:140:25:16

and hopefully tonight I'll do him and our city proud.

0:25:160:25:19

CHEERING

CHEERING

0:27:240:27:27

John Lennon, everybody! CHEERING

0:27:370:27:40

Wow, absolutely top, top drawer, that. Top drawer.

0:27:400:27:45

Listen, when you're not John Lennon, who are you?

0:27:450:27:48

Well, my name's Jimmy Coburn.

0:27:480:27:49

Jimmy, honestly, it gave me goose bumps, that performance.

0:27:490:27:53

It was an absolutely... And you play your own instruments, singing live.

0:27:530:27:56

I mean, come on, give it up. It's fantastic.

0:27:560:27:57

CHEERING

0:27:570:28:00

And, Jimmy, I know you've got, like, kind of THE celebrity fan.

0:28:020:28:07

Well, yes, I met Mr Liam Gallagher about four years ago,

0:28:070:28:11

five years ago at the Hard Days Night Hotel in Liverpool.

0:28:110:28:13

I went to watch his band, Beady Eye,

0:28:130:28:16

and the next thing you know Liam pops in,

0:28:160:28:18

having breakfast in the morning with him

0:28:180:28:20

-and three years later jamming with him in Hamburg backstage.

-No?!

-Yeah.

0:28:200:28:24

-And you know Paul McCartney as well, you've met him.

-Oh, God.

0:28:240:28:28

Yeah, we met Paul...

0:28:280:28:29

You've got the best black book ever, haven't you? This is fantastic.

0:28:290:28:33

Met Paul in 2002 for a concert at the Empire Theatre.

0:28:330:28:37

I'll tell you a funny story, my brother actually was backstage

0:28:370:28:39

and the next thing you know, they're like, "Five, four, three, two, one.

0:28:390:28:43

"Who's making noise at the back? Calm down."

0:28:430:28:44

Next thing you know it's my brother, who plays Paul,

0:28:440:28:47

and Paul McCartney has got him in a headlock on the floor having a toy fight.

0:28:470:28:50

You're joking... "Let it be, Paul. Let it be."

0:28:500:28:52

Hey, hey! Come on. Come on, Tina!

0:28:520:28:56

Tina! Yes, go on. Tina!

0:28:560:28:58

Give it up, John Lennon, everybody.

0:29:000:29:02

CHEERING

0:29:020:29:04

-Katy Perry...so how good was that?

-It was amazing.

0:29:060:29:10

I'm a massive Beatles fan and, like,

0:29:100:29:12

from the tone of his voice to his mannerisms, he just got it spot on.

0:29:120:29:15

And, do you know, I would've loved to have seen the real John Lennon

0:29:150:29:18

-and I kind of feel like I have now.

-Yeah, he was amazing.

0:29:180:29:20

Everyone loved it. Our tributes, everyone.

0:29:200:29:23

CHEERING

0:29:230:29:26

Right, we've seen and heard what all five of tonight's tributes can do.

0:29:310:29:34

But this is where it gets serious.

0:29:340:29:36

Three acts will sing a unique duet with one of our other fabulous

0:29:360:29:39

tributes, but who gets to sing again is up to you, our studio audience.

0:29:390:29:44

Before you decide,

0:29:440:29:45

let's have a quick reminder of all of tonight's performances.

0:29:450:29:49

# Santa, baby

0:29:490:29:51

# Just slip a sable under the tree for me

0:29:510:29:56

# I've been an awful good girl... #

0:29:560:30:00

# Santa, baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight... #

0:30:000:30:05

# It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

0:30:100:30:15

# Everywhere you go...

0:30:160:30:20

# Take a look in the five and ten

0:30:210:30:24

# It's glistening once again

0:30:240:30:26

# With candy canes and silver lanes that glow... #

0:30:260:30:30

# Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee

0:30:320:30:35

# Every little bird in the tall oak tree

0:30:350:30:38

# The wise old owl...

0:30:380:30:39

# ..the big black crow

0:30:390:30:41

# Flappin' their wings singing go bird go

0:30:410:30:43

# Rockin' robin, rock rock

0:30:430:30:46

# Rockin' robin... #

0:30:460:30:47

# He knows if you've been bad or good

0:30:490:30:53

# So you better be good, for goodness' sake

0:30:530:30:57

# You better be good, for goodness' sake...

0:30:570:31:00

# You better watch out, you better not cry

0:31:000:31:04

# You better not pout, I'm telling you why

0:31:040:31:07

# Santa Claus is coming to town... #

0:31:070:31:10

# And so this is Christmas

0:31:120:31:15

# For weak and for strong...

0:31:160:31:19

# The rich and the poor ones

0:31:210:31:24

# The road is so long... #

0:31:260:31:29

It's time to decide who's even better than the real thing.

0:31:340:31:37

Vote now.

0:31:370:31:39

We'll get those votes counted but, while that's happening,

0:31:480:31:51

singing one of the greatest Christmas songs of all time,

0:31:510:31:54

please welcome the world's finest ever supergroup,

0:31:540:31:57

it's our tribute all-stars!

# Make my wish come true

0:32:040:32:09

# All I want for Christmas

0:32:100:32:16

# Is

0:32:170:32:20

# You

0:32:200:32:26

# I don't want a lot for Christmas

0:32:300:32:33

# There is just one thing I need

0:32:330:32:36

# I don't care about the presents

0:32:360:32:39

# Underneath the Christmas tree

0:32:390:32:42

# I don't need to hang my stocking

0:32:420:32:45

# There upon the fireplace

0:32:450:32:49

# Santa Claus won't make me happy

0:32:490:32:52

# With a toy on Christmas day

0:32:520:32:55

# I just want you for my own

0:32:550:32:58

# More than you could ever know

Don't forget your family, and don't forget your friends.

0:34:180:34:22

It's time for us to sing...

0:34:220:34:25

0:34:490:34:51

Please welcome back Michael Buble, Michael Jackson,

0:34:510:34:54

Bruce Springsteen, Kylie Minogue and John Lennon!

0:34:540:34:58

They've all worked really hard on their superstar duets and here they

0:35:060:35:09

are ready to perform, but only three of them will be taking to our stage.

0:35:090:35:13

It's time to reveal who they are.

0:35:130:35:15

Our studio audience have voted and, in no particular order,

0:35:180:35:22

the first act who will sing again is...

0:35:220:35:24

..John Lennon!

0:35:330:35:35

The next act to take our stage again is...

0:35:440:35:47

..Michael Jackson!

0:35:560:35:58

Well done, Michael. Go and get yourself ready.

0:36:080:36:11

OK, best of luck to you three.

0:36:110:36:13

The third and final act to get the chance to

0:36:130:36:17

0:36:170:36:20

0:36:490:36:53

Right, it's time for John Lennon, Michael Jackson

0:36:560:37:00

and Kylie Minogue to show us what they're really made of.

0:37:000:37:03

Our three finalists must prove they've got what it takes

0:37:040:37:08

to share the stage and a song with one of our tribute all-stars.

0:37:080:37:11

They've been working hard in rehearsals, but now it's time to

0:37:130:37:16

take to the floor with their singing partner to help them win the title.

0:37:160:37:20

0:40:150:40:19

-How did you feel, Britney?

-Amazing.

0:40:190:40:21

It's like performing with the real Kylie, she's just incredible.

0:40:210:40:24

And how was you... When you're up there,

0:40:240:40:27

you've never duetted before, how did you find it?

0:40:270:40:29

Liz is amazing to work with and it was two power pop princesses

0:40:290:40:33

so it was perfect. Match made in heaven.

0:40:330:40:35

Great, great start our duets round. Still two more acts to go, though.

0:40:350:40:38

Give them a round of applause!

0:40:380:40:40

Earlier tonight, John Lennon wowed us War Is Over

0:40:420:40:46

but who's getting ready to share the limelight with him?

0:40:460:40:49

Welcome back, John.

Ariana Grande, folks.

Get yourself sat there. Whoa!

0:43:500:43:52

Oh!

0:43:520:43:54

Phwoar, got a little bit emotional at the end there.

0:43:560:44:00

-That was a bit good, that.

-Yeah, a little emotional.

0:44:000:44:03

Now, Ariana Grande, modern pop sensation.

0:44:030:44:06

What's it like performing with the all-time greats here?

0:44:060:44:08

They would never perform together.

0:44:080:44:11

-I feel so blessed.

-She's amazing.

0:44:110:44:13

Just singing with this girl, her voice is just on the money.

0:44:130:44:16

It's just lovely to sing together and I'd love to sing with her again.

0:44:160:44:19

-I'm going to be gutted, like, to end this show, you know?

-Yeah.

0:44:190:44:22

And you've come all the way from Brazil.

0:44:220:44:25

-And I know you're training to be a pilot as well.

-Yeah.

0:44:250:44:27

So, you two, you can fly the jet. It's fantastic.

0:44:270:44:31

Give it up for Ariana and John Lennon!

0:44:310:44:34

Wow, that was a bit good.

0:44:380:44:40

One more song before our studio audience get to vote again.

0:44:400:44:45

Earlier, Michael Jackson performed Rockin' Robin for us.

0:44:450:44:48

Well, who will he be pairing up with for our final performance?

0:44:480:44:51

Welcome back, Michael Jackson!

0:44:510:44:54

# When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around

0:45:070:45:12

# Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd

0:45:120:45:16

# But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took

0:45:160:45:21

# Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

0:45:210:45:26

0:47:220:47:25

Whoo!

0:47:400:47:41

Yeah!

0:47:430:47:45

A standing ovation from Whitney Houston, that's high praise indeed.

0:47:450:47:48

Now, Eshan, I know you've performed as MJ in the West End,

0:47:480:47:51

-now you're working with Ed Sheeran, how are you feeling?

-It's great.

0:47:510:47:54

It's amazing. Seriously good.

0:47:540:47:56

And working with little Michael Jackson as well!

0:47:560:47:59

He's just incredible. Absolutely breathtaking.

0:47:590:48:01

It was one of them duets you just never see but it just works

0:48:010:48:05

so well. It was brilliant.

0:48:050:48:07

How do you go on yourself in everyday life? Because you must get

0:48:070:48:09

stopped all the time, people ask you for selfies,

0:48:090:48:12

-and stuff like that.

-It's more you see people doing second takes.

0:48:120:48:15

They sort of go, "Is it?" Then they go, "Oh..."

0:48:150:48:18

People try and pull the hair off a lot.

0:48:180:48:21

Don't moan about people pulling your hair.

0:48:210:48:23

I'd give my right arm for that, let me tell you.

0:48:230:48:25

Give it up for Ed Sheeran and Michael Jackson!

0:48:250:48:27

OK, we've seen our three tribute finalists deliver duets.

0:48:320:48:35

Now our studio audience get to vote one last time.

0:48:350:48:39

Their decision is based on both the solo performance and the duet.

0:48:390:48:44

Is it Kylie, John Lennon or Michael Jackson?

0:48:440:48:47

# Santa, baby
