I agree Caz, the groups are abysmal - although I'm finding those twins fascinating, they can't sing to save their lives and if I was their Mother I'd want to give them a good slap, but they wind Simon up, so that's good ;D I bet they are this year's Chico/Same Difference. The put together girl band were awful tonight, they were out of tune and what was with the rapping?? I bet they'll go through though I agree the overs are the strongest group. I'm liking Danyl, Oli and the guy with the afro - also Daniel from One True Voice, but I can only see two of them going through with Nicole - they've promoted her too much for her to go before the live shows Nobody else (apart from a couple of the girls - I can't remember their names though) really stands out for me at the moment, I'll be glad when the live shows start.

Gutted for Dominic, I like Stacey Soloman (Essex Girl), Young Lucy and Geordie Joe, but for all the wrong reasons dont think any of them are strong enough to win. For me Jamie afro was the strongest singer tonight very controlled and professional but I don't really like him if that makes sense Danyl the teacher was a complete mess tonight. agree the groups are abysmal Hope I start liking this series soon as we have booked our tickets for the tour

Just watched it, i think they should shorten the auditions to one week and make bootcamp a bit longer, it was all over too quickly!!I felt sorry for Louis getting the groups again, they are so dire, especially the twins! I think this year might just be the year when Louis loses all 3 acts in the 1st 3 weeks. Over 25's is definately the strongest and surprise, suprise, Simon gets that category. I was disappointed Dominic didn't get through, he was much better than the little scottish guy, i felt so sorry for Danni, she looked genuinely gutted I hated Daniels holding back the years arrangement, what a mess! Ollie didn't do as well as auditions either, he lost his quirkiness, I hope he gets it back as he was one of my favourites. I really like Stacey, she's adorable I couldn't stop laughing when Dannii found out she had the girls and Rachel fell over, classic!! ;D

Quite pleased with the final 12. Simon picked my favourite three, I was convinced he would put Nicole through so was shocked when he didn't Only one I felt sorry for was Daniel - but as Simon said, he had his chance already. Liking Stacey and Lucie, although I think I read she's already had a recording contract, so all this from a small Welsh village is a bit misleading. Liking Rachel too, but I can't see the GBP going for the same sort of act twice in a row. Not liking Ricky - don't know why, but he irritates me. Glad Joe went through, bit surprised at Lloyd though, I thought Ethan was better. As for the groups - what do you say?? ;D Miss Frank surprised me yesterday, I hadn't liked them before, but I thought they were the strongest in their category. Think Candy Rain will be out first, and John and Edward WHY? ? Having said that I do think they'll bring "something" to the live shows My two favourites at the moment are Olly and Stacey - but this is bound to change ;D

OMG, what a night!! My hear t was in my mouth!! I thought Cheryl made the worst choices. I am the same with Ricky, Kim. There is something about him I don't like, he seems too desperate and a little creepy I was gutted she chose Lloyd over Ethan. Ethan was my favourite in her category and I didn't really think Lloyd was that good. Joe is ok but does nothing for me either, his voice is too "shirley bassey"ish for me if that makes any sense Louis, bless him didn't have much choice at all, the manufactured group were the best and sounded quite good but the one who raps gets on my nerves. Candy rain were probably the next best of a bad bunch, but the twins??? What was Louis thinking, then again, I suppose it will be interesting to see them as they are so wooden an can barely hold a tune! ;D Danny made some great choices except Rachel. Although she has a fantastic voice I don't really like her, I don't know why, she just does nothing for me. I would've preferred the other black girl to go through as she was more unique, even though she forgot her words I'm still loving Stacey though, she's adorable! I didn't know that about Lucie though Kim Simon had the worst job as they were all good. I am sooooo glad he picked Olly to go through as he has been my favourite from the beginning, and I'm glad James got through as he's such a nice guy, cruel of Simon though!!! I was shocked he didn't put Tracey through as she was so amazing but I kind of got his logic behind it. I've really gone off Danyl. I loved his first audition but now I just find him annoying! What was that weird thing he was doing with his mouth! Favourites so far are same as you Kim, Olly & Stacey!! I'm looking forward to next week! ;D

Ethan and Tracey should have gone through, Soon as the twins auditioned you knew Louis would get the groups and will prob be the last group standing I think Dannii has the strongest group, but Simon has Jamie and Olly who I think will be great once the live shows begin I also love Stacey she is a nutter she makes me smile, I love Lucie but so far has only sang ballads can she do up-tempo Well we shall soon find out.

I was really pleased Simon put Jamie through as he is my favourite. I was thinking he was going to put Nicole through when it got down to her and Jamie. Her and the other black girl had great voices, but I do think Jamie would take Simon further in the competition. I think he is definitely the one to watch. I still like Danyl but agree that his other performances haven't lived up to the first one he did. Maybe he peaked too soon. I do like Cheryl's top three, but very shocked also that Ethan didn't get through, as the girls would have loved him. I do like Miss Frank. I think they all have great voices and bring something different to the show, unlike Candy Rain and the twins. It's just Hope two, and the Macdonald Bros all over again. Only the Macdonald Bros could actually sing better than these two. Dannii's girls are also very strong singers, but I can't see another female winning this year.

I thought tonights show was the toughest first night show so far! Here's my take: Rachel - She did really well but I fear she might fall foul of the curse of the first. Candy Rain - Not a bad vocal, I actually felt a little sorry for them when Dannii and Cheryl laid into them but I got their point. Olly Murs - I thought he struggled a little on the high notes in the slow parts but nailed the chorus, I still love him!! Rikki Loney - Totally agreed with Simon, not a bad vocal but he does nothing for me, he's very bland Stacey Solomon - Great performance although she looked different, I didn't like how they styled her. Miss Frank - Really good, I kind of wanted her to do a bit of rapping but they harmonized really well. Jamie Archer - Bad song choice, it started a little shakey, it didn't suit his voice at the beginning but he finished it well. Lloyd Daniels - The worst of the night for me(I know, the twins were there too!) poor vocals and not much charisma, what was Cheryl thinking!! Lucie Jones - Great vocal, I didn't particularly like the song. I think she's on parr with Leona, great voice, no X Factor! John & Edward - Talking bits were dire but they didn't sound so bad during the chorus and I found myself grinning throughout the whole performance. Joe Mcelderry- Great vocal and the best styled but i'm still not overkeen on his voice. Danyl Johnson - Really good vocal but I can't warm to him, I find him very false and agree with Louis, he's not likeable!! All in all I loved tonights show but can't belieev the results show is tomorrow, how much is this show morphing into American Idol??? My bottom 2 = Lloyd V John Edward/Ricky Who will go??? I have no idea!!! ;D

Off topic but just heard that Stephen Gateley has died in his sleep aged 33 Cannot believe it. Here's my take on last nights acts. Rachel - Didn't really like her performance of let me entertain you. She has a great voice but you could hardly hear her with all the backing vocals. Kandy Rain - Oh dear what did they look like? I did agree with Danni and Cheryl's comments about them wanting to be taken seriously but then come out dressed as they did. Wasn't a bad performance vocally but I don't think they have the likeability factor. Olly - He gave a good performance but I agree Dee he did struggle with some of the high notes. Ricky - I enjoyed his performance. I thought he sang really well. Stacey - She has a lovely SINGING voice, but she does annoy me when she opens her mouth to talk. Gave a good performance though. Miss Frank - Really like these girls. They all have fantastic voices and gel really well, considering they hardly know each other. Very polished. Jamie - Love this guy and loved his performance. Lloyd - Thought he sang cry me a river really well. It showed a more grown up side to him. Lucie - She was always going to be compared to Leona when she sang that song. She has an amazing voice but I think she struggled a bit with that song. She just couldn't hit them high notes. John and Edward- Annoying little twerps but they didn't give that bad a performance, and I do hope they stay in the show for a while as I agree they do make you smile. Joe - He has a lovely tone to his voice and gave a very good performance. Danyl - Best performance of the night, and omg how rude were Danni, Cheryl and Louis. I wouldn't say he was arrogant. Far from it. There is a difference between being confident and arrogant. I think they are just running scared that he will win. Also Danni's comments were totally uncalled for. Hope she is made to apologise. Bottom two, I am with you Joyce. Kandy Rain and Rachel. With kR going home.

Unbelievably sad about Stephen Gately. Sky news is reporting Louis has pulled out of tonight's show to fly to Majorca. I think that is the right decision, I don't think he would have coped. I think the fairest thing would be to scrap tonight's judges decision and get rid of the act with the lowest public vote. Was out last night so I've only just watched last night's show. Here's what I thought: Rachel: Thought she was ok at the time, but comparing her to the other acts she was poor. I don't know if 'curse of the first' will apply with 24 hour voting, but I think she could be in trouble. Candy Rain: Completely agree with Cheryl and Danni - why on earth did the stylists dress them like that ? Their performance was better than I expected it to be , but I predict they'll be in the sing off. Olly: Thought it was a mistake not giving him an up tempo song, but his voice still shone through despite a shaky stat, he's still one of my favourites Rikki Loney: Thought he did a good job of the song, but what did he look like?? He lacks the likeability factor for me, he could be another one in trouble tonight. Stacey: Good performance, even if her vocals were ever to be bad she would get through on her personality - the exact opposite to Rikki. Miss Frank: Vocals were better than they were, but I disagree Caz, they just do not gel together as a group for me. Jamie Archer: Very different song from the usual X Factor fare Having said that I was a huge fan of T Rex and Marc Bolan (showing my age there ) and nobody else can do it justice for me. He's safe though. Lloyd Daniels: Song was a mistake, it wasn't the same without the high notes and those backing dancers looked like lunatics Lucie Jones: Superb voice, but she lacks the 'X Factor' for me. John and Edward: Sorry, but they amuse me. No, they can't hold a tune. Yes' they are arrogant little oiks, but they are this year's 'novelty' act. I might be completely wrong but I reckon they'll be there until week 6 or 7 Joe: See Lucie's critique Danyl: I didn't see his original audition so I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about. But he was superb tonight, his voice has a certain tone to it that sounds fantastic. Thought Danni was completely out of order with her comment and it could cost her acts votes I predict bottom two will be Rachel/Rikki. Rikki will be out.

Yes that was a complete shocker about Stephen Gateley What a shame, he was so young Good for Louis for going to Majorca, he does come out with some rubbish but I've always thought he was very supportive and would be a great friend. I kind of agreed with Danni about her comment to Danyl I suppose its because I don't really like him, when he cries I find it fake

Just to say totally shocked with the news on Stephen Gately he came across as a very likeable lad, And agree Dee, Louie can come over as such a prat, but it shows he is a decent human being where it matters, he must be devastated...R.I.P Stephen xx

Not surprised Candy Rain was out - thought Simon taking it to dead lock was very predictable, but the right thing to do. Curse of the first is still very much alive it seems.
