NIKITTA IS SCARILY GOOD
By Donna Watson
LEGENDARY crooner Tony Bennett believes Scots X Factor hopeful Nikitta has what it takes to reach the top.
Bennett was blown away by the teenager after spending time with the show's contestants this week.
And by his reckoning, either the Glasgow lass or Scouser Ray are heading for X Factor glory.
Bennett, 80, has been the guest tutor ahead of tonight's show, when the remaining contenders will each tackle a song from the Big Band and Rat Pack eras.
Nikitta, 18, who will sing Dean Martin's Sway, has become a huge favourite, battling through the double heartbreak of losing her mum and stepdad within a few months to make it to the finals.
And superstar Bennett, who will also perform tonight, believes her struggle will be worth it.
He said: "I liked Nikitta and Ray. All of them were really good but those two had the 'it' factor."
