Last week the unconventional band 'The Unconventionals' were booted off the X Factor for being 'too different.'
Boy band, 4 Sure were the second act to get kicked out of the hit TV show the X Factor last night.
All were put through their paces as the would-be pop acts are competing for a whopping 1 million pound record contract.
The remaining contestants in the show had to perform covers and original songs from the legend Rod Stewart.
Long haired heartthrob Ben, tipped to be the winner of the show, and who is rated to be the next Rod Stewart, sang his famous hit, 'Maggie May.'
The man himself Mr Stewart, made an appearance to sing in front of a live audience before the verdict was given on the up and coming pop acts.
Hyper active talent Robert Allen was also in the running to be kicked off the show, but was saved by the swinging vote of Simon Cowell for the second time running.
Another band bites the dust
