Tabby out of X Factor
Last updated at 17:22 05 December 2004
Sharon Osbourne's protege Tabby failed to make it to The X Factor grand finale after the public gave him the boot.
Despite his return to his Irish roots to sing the U2 anthem In The Name Of Love, he failed to capture enough votes to survive on the show.
This was despite a valiant effort with his second song, Celtic anthem Rod Stewart's Sailing, which was accompanied by live bagpipes and drums.
A staggering four million votes were cast by the public, who voted instead for Louis' act G4 and Simon Cowell's act Steve.
G4 performed the carol O Holy Night and the Queen classic Bohemian Rhapsody.
Steve gave a soulful version of George Benson's hit The Greatest Love of All.
Afterwards Tabby said: "I never expected to get through the front door. I'm delighted that I've come this far. I got what I came for, I got the exposure and I got to meet Sharon."
Sharon said: "We've all seen him grow, he's special, he has The X Factor."
