'Dead Wife', a widower probably in his 30s, raised the bar again as he sang a powerful love ballad to his dearly departed, despite not having a wife for a number of years.
Being single and heartbroken did not stop the bereaved Evans from belting out the track - and looking tearfully to the heavens - as he struggled to reconcile with his late wife's lack of being alive.
Dead Wife is now expected to reach the finals of the competition with such songs in the pipeline as A Song For The Dead by Queens Of The Stone Age, Already Dead by Beck and All By Myself by Celine Dion.
Following the elimination show, tributes poured in for Evans, whose betrothed passed away a number of years ago, from all over the country.
"He's an amazing man," said Paul Starr of the Wife Is Dead, Oh Woe (WIDOW) support group. "To sing a song about your dead wife without the support of your wife due to her being dead is just remarkable."
Dead Wife's vanquished opponent in the bottom two, Scott, has never even had a girlfriend, let alone married and then buried the love of his life and gone on to live a wifeless life.
Television sensation and national hero Evans, who outlived his spouse, is still expected to be single, heartbroken and vulnerable during next week's Gangster Rap themed X-Factor.
