Jackie Thomas, Benny Tipene (pictured) and Whenua Patuwai last night made the top spots on X-Factor NZ.
The final three X Factor NZ artists have been revealed as Benny Tipene, Whenua Patuwai and Jackie Thomas.
Public votes won the trio's top spots on the talent-finding competition after boyband Moorhouse was sent home from last night's live show.
Votes were tallied from polls opened after Sunday night's show
when artists each performed two live songs. Moorhouse failed to impress the viewing public with their renditions of Kings of Leon's Use Somebody and Bruno Mars' When I Was Your Man.
Members Brock Ashby, 19, Rory McKenna, 20, Jason Aileone, 19, and Marley Sola Wilcox-Nanai, 17, all hail from Christchurch and had been crowd favourites from their first audition.
Wilcox-Nanai told the audience it had been an "overwhelming" journey for the group. The group's mentor, judge Mel Blatt, told New Zealanders: "You're going to regret this."
