Four of Diamonds is a British girl group composed of Caroline Alvares, Lauren Rammell, Sophia Saffarian and Yasmin Broom.[1] The group rose to popularity after competing in the 13th series of X Factor UK, where they finished in eighth place.[2]
Career[edit]
2016: The X Factor[edit]
Four of Diamonds auditioned for The X Factor in the third set of room auditions, performing "No" by Meghan Trainor. They then progressed to bootcamp and the six-chair challenge, gaining a seat and making it through to judges' house. They were eventually sent home by Walsh. However, on 10 October 2016, it was announced that Four of Diamonds would take Brooks Way's place for the remainder of the live shows, starting in week 2.[3]
In week three, Four of Diamonds were in the bottom two against Relley C. They sang "Who Are You" by Fifth Harmony and were saved by Walsh, Scherzinger and Cowell. The following week, they were in the bottom two against Gifty Louise; they sang "The Voice Within" by Christina Aguilera and were saved by Walsh, Scherzinger and Osbourne. They were sent home on week 5, after a sing-off against Saara Aalto, when only Walsh voted for saving them. In this sing-off, they sang "When You Believe" by Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey. However, voting statistics revealed that Four of Diamonds and Aalto received more votes than Sam Lavery in the public main vote meaning if there wasn't a lifeline vote or if Lavery lost the lifeline vote, and in that scenario, if the result went to deadlock, Aalto and Four of Diamonds would've both been saved and Lavery would've been eliminated.[4]
