Emotions were running high on Sunday night's X Factor when Hannah Barrett was voted off the show after losing the sing-off to rivals Rough Copy.
Hannah performed Etta James song, I'd Rather Go Blind but sadly, it wasn't enough to save her.
She wore her hair down and sleek and chose a black satin top with a statement necklace for her performance. She teamed them with leopard print baggy trousers and a black belt.
