The successful solo singer or trio will be revealed at the live Semi-Final the following weekend.
Their picks come ahead of the first live show, which will see the eight semi-finalists – plus the lifeline winner – battle it out for a spot in the final.
Cedric, Nicole, Emmanuel and Molly join former picks for the semi-final, Jimmy Balito, Moya, NXTGEN and Deana Walmsley.
Jimmy made it through after performing an emotional song after losing his father to cancer.
Despite his grief, the 22-year-old performer bravely decided to carry on in the competition and performed Radioheads High and Dry as the knockouts begin.
