Eoghan Quigg, Alexandra Burke, Diana Vickers and JLS sang before 28 fans in the basement of a Carphone Warehouse on Oxford Street in London.
Show favourite Burke said afterwards that she was surprised that bookmakers are now backing her to win the contest. "It's very, very scary. I got that news yesterday. It actually shocked me as I wasn't expecting that," she said.
Meanwhile, 16-year-old Quigg again denied rumours that he is secretly dating fellow singer Vickers, claiming that their bond is merely platonic.
He said: "We're really good friends. Ruth and Alex were good friends, and JLS have got each other. She's not my type anyway!"
