Britain's Got Talent favourites Luminites have sailed through to the final of the ITV contest.
The band, which includes vocalist Jordan Clarke from Margaretting and beatboxer Ben Francis from Romford, dazzled the judges in tonight's third live semi final, with a rendition of The Bee Gees hit Love Somebody, and were compared to the Black Eyed Peas by Simon Cowell.

A delighted Jordan told Ant and Dec their victory hadn't sunk in yet.
"For everyone that voted at home - thank you so much, it means so much to us," he said.
They were also earlier btipped to "go far" by singer Demi Lovato, performing on the results show.
Speaking immediately after they performed in the first show, Simon Cowell compared the Luminites to the Black Eyed Peas.
"I've got to be honest with you, most of tonight was like watching some insane amateur talent show at a holiday camp and then you guys come on and I think this will work in the real world," he said.
"And do you know what you're like, because I don;t like to give comparisons because you're original.But you're like a British Black Eyed Peas.
"I cannot tell you how much I am going to thank God for delivering you tonight."
Alesha Dixon had earlier told them: "Every single one of you has something speical to offer and the blend is fantastic.
"I think you'd fit into the music industry seamlessly."
Asked for his reaction to the comments by Ant and Dec, Jordan could only reply: "I cannot even explain what happened tonight. That was incredible"
