Great miming by Alex and the group act!! They 3 lads sang live at the beginning then they seemed to be miming! Good on Robbie for singing live although he did look a bit scary with his eyes! I'm glad Kandy rain went as I didn't think Rachel deserved to go. Yes Kim, the curse of the first is still alive and kicking! I have to admit I was a little relieved when John & Edward got through ;D

Didn't think this week was as good as last - why do they make the boys sing Diva??? Here's what I thought: Rachel: Oh dear, is curse of the first going to affect her. Didn't like her performance thought it was very Karaoke 5/10 Olly: Not a fan of Tina Turner, but I thought he was excellent - his dancing does make me smile. 8/10 Miss Frank: What a dog's dinner of a performance, why have them singing from seperate sides of the stage when all the advice is telling them to be more like a group? I reckon they could be in trouble 3/10 Rachel: Better than last week - but I don't find her appealing at all. Think she could be in the bottom two again 4/10 Joe: Superb performance, but I think he will be more suited to the West End than a recording contract 7/10 Danyl: I cannot for the life of me remember his song?? I do remember the scary grin he gave at the end though Forgettable 5/10 Lloyd: Stupid song choice, but I don't think he was as bad as Simon was saying - still it made Cheryl 'cry' ;D 6/10 John and Edward - So bad it was good ;D I'm sorry but I look forward to their performance - no wonder the dancers were wearing crash helmets, it was car crash tv ;D Hope they survive a couple of weeks more 5/10 Rikki - Much better than last week, but he doesn't have likeability - another contender for bottom two. 4/10 Jamie - I don't like rock so I don't really get him, but I'm sure he's safe 6/10 Stacey - Superb voice, bad styling and I think she needs to lay off the dippy Essex girl thing a bit too. She's still one of my favourites though 8/10 Prediction - Rachel and Miss Frank bottom two, Rachel will go.

Joe and Stacey were for me the best tonight. The twins were pure entertainment in a very poor show, It could have come from Peter Kays classic, can just imagine them along side Geraldine... a real p*** take performance. Bottom two Rikki and Miss Frank.

Here's my take on the acts. Lucie - She did quite a good performance but considering all the vocal coaching she has, she should be note perfect and she isn't. Olly - Really enjoyed his performance. It was energetic, and he gave a really confident performance. Although I didn't know the song. Miss Frank- I actually didn't think they were anywhere near as bad as Simon was making out. I thought the blonde haired girl was off key quite a few times when she was singing alone, but together I thought they sounded quite good. Rachel - Oh dear. This sounded dreadful to my ears. She was shouty and very out of tune. Joe - Brilliant performance and note perfect. Danyl - He has an amazing voice and sang his heart out. But why would Simon give him a song that hasn't even been released yet and no one knows? Lloyd - He gave a good performance but it needed more oomph. Then we had Cheryl and her tears no doubt for the sympathy vote. John and Edward - lol They do make me laugh these two. I actually enjoyed their performance for entertainment value alone. Hope they stay in. Rikki - Again another good performance from him, but he didn't leave me thinking wow. lol Cheryl seems to be getting some stick for her song choices for the boys this week. She was probably too wrapped up in doing her "miming" performance than putting the time and effort into the boys. Jamie - Really enjoyed his performance. He really belts the songs out and comes across as very polished. Stacey - The last part of the song was very good, and she does have a great voice, but then she talks and ruins it all. ;D Bottom two for me are Rachel and Lloyd. Rachel deserves to go though. I didn't think Whitney looked that impressed when she met the contestants. She came across as quite cold and a bit bossy at times. "Go back and listen to the melody again"

I thought this show was gonna be good but I wasn't impressed! I agree Caz, Whitney was very cold towards them and looked like she couldn't be bothered. Ok here's my take: Lucie - Good but she didn't hit a couple of notes and she was forgettable. Olly - Loved him, didn't know the song but I enjoyed his performance. Miss Frank - I agree they don't come across as a group and Simon mentioned about the other two being bookends when the show is reinforcing it by their routines. Their performance was ok, not great but not bad either. Rachel - Terrible, she was out of tune quite a bit. Joe - Really good but I agree Kim, he'd be more suited to the west end. Danyl - Hated the song, he has a good voice but he's too over the top for me, I just can't warm to him, I'd say he's be more suited to the westend too. Lloyd - Oh dear. I'm sorry but looks are not wnough to stay in this show. John & Edward - Really bad but they so make me laugh! Rikki - I can't remember what he sang Forgettable Stacey - I thought she was good and she does make me smile. Bottom 2 - Should be Lloyd & Rachel Will probably be - Lucie & Miss Frank What do I know ;D

Aww I am sad to see Rikki go. I thought that was very unfair of Simon to vote him out as he had a lot more potential than Rachel. She sounded awful yet again on her survival song. I just don't get her at all. Then come the tears again as well. Omg though what was Whitney on? She was either pis*ed or on something as she definitely looked and acted peculiar. I bet Cheryl is pleased though, as now the media won't be talking about her miming or live performance, it will be what the hell was Whitney on. ;D lol First Robbie now her. I am pleased Westlife are on the show next week. I have missed those boys. Hope they get JLS on one week.

I wasn't surprised Rikki went, but I would have preferred Rachel. Her voice is just not soulful enough. Thought last night's Whitney performance was hysterical - I'm beginning to wonder if the XF green room is offering their guest stars a little more than food and drink She was definitely on something. As for the dress - I was waiting for her to do a 'Judy Finnegan' - how the hell can someone with her clout and money be dressed in something that was too long for her and burst open? It was nearly as funny as John and Edward's performance - but not quite I'm sure Cheryl mimed three quarters of her song - I reckon that's why she was wearing that stupid hat - to cover her mouth so we couldn't see the lip syncing Looking forward to J and E next week - apparently they're doing Ricky Martin's She Bang

I'm glad Rikki went as I don't think he's been strong at all. I don't think Rachel will be long behind him though, she just hasn't got the support. I am SURE Cheryl mimed, the camera never gave her a close up and her mouth was so close to the mic I thought she was going to eat it! her voice never changed while she was dancing and she was out of breath afterwards. I believe it was a live recording(that had been played with) because it was still bad but I don't think it was live on Saturday night. Dermots key words were "performing live" not "singing live". Yep I think Whitney was on the same stuff as Robbie was last week, maybe thats how people who sing LIVE look ;D I'm glad J & E stayed in and how Cheryl could say that she can't believe Rikki went & J&E stayed is beyond her, I thought the same about lloyd!

Sometimes you should be careful what you wish for, after J/E performance she said she hoped they would stay in for a while yet just to annoy Simon, she forgot to add, as long as it was not one of her group that was sacrificed

Not a huge fan of big band week, but I enjoyed tonight's show. Olly - Was worried about him going first, but he was fine and will be safe. Lloyd - Sounded very dodgy in parts - think he could be in trouble this week Miss Frank - I just cannot warm to them, they still do not seem like a group to me. Didn't think they were as good as the judges said and I hated the rapping. Rachel - Much better vocal and styling this week, but she does a weird thing with her eyes when she sings which is very off putting. The new excited Rachel after the judges comments came across as very forced and Stacey like - I couldn't help wondering if she'd been coached to appeal to the audience more - if she was it backfired. Jamie - Weakest performance. I think Simon is going all out for Danyl to win as there's been interest in him in America. If Jamie did win I could see Simon doing exactly the same as he did with Steve Brookstein. Stacey - Thought she looked amazing tonight, but the song choice was wrong - far too cheesy. Her weakest performance yet, but she'll be safe. Joe - Didn't enjoy his performance this weak - some of his low notes were awful Lucie - Never been a fan, but hers was the performance of the night for me, I don't know what Simon was going on about Danyl - Superb performance and vocals, but I just cannot warm to him. Jedward - What can I say, rubbish vocals, rubbish dancing, but the performance was the most entertaining of the night. I would love to see them win just to see Simon's face ;D Bottom two - Lloyd and Rachel. The judges will save Rachel yet again. BTW it's rock week next week - Bon Jovi and JLS are guesting. We're off up North next weekend (I've packed me thermals ) so I won't see the show until Sunday. I'm not a big fan of rock, so I'm not too gutted to be missing it.

Hi everyone! Here are my thoughts on tonights show: Ollie - Can't believe he was first on again, I am sooo p*ssed off!! He is obviously cannon fodder for Simon I thought he performed well though considering he got another lesser known song Lloyd - I thought he would be terrible but he actually wasn't that bad, he still has no charisma or stage presence though. Miss Frank - Started off ok but I don't think the middle one is as good as she thinks she is, I happen to think the "book ends" are better. Not great for me though. Rachel - She came across much more confident and looked great a lot softer but it wasn't a big band song?? Tina Turner?? Her performance was good but what was she on?? The same thing as Robbie & Whitney!! ;D Jamie - Ok performance, safe tbh. Totally agreed with Louis, it wasn't a big band song but neither was John & Edwards and nothing was said, bit hypocritical. Stacey - She looked absolutely amazing and sang the song very well, I do like her Danyl - Ok, the obvious chosen one seen as he was the last on of the over 25's again Although technically good I just don't like him and cannot warm to him. A bit like Leona. Joe - Well if the male dancers weren't confirming that this young lad is gay I don't know what else will I wasn't overly impressed with Joe at bootcamp and don't think he should've been put through but I am really warming to him and like him more and more each week. Lucie - Hardly knew the song but thought she sang it really well, I don't think she was styled well though, she is really pretty and has a great figure but she just comes across as plain and boring. The Twins - What can I say?? I was laughing the whole way through and was actually looking forward to their performance! ;D The ppl who booed were awful though, give them a break, they are still there because ppl voted for them My opinion on bottom 2 - Miss Frank & Jamie ( I hope Ollie isn't a victim of curse of the first ) Great to see Louis back too, he has been missed Where are you going up North Kim?? I love Rock, Jamie will be in his element.

Enjoy Kim x Big Band is not my fav week either, was all set to hate it but it was one of the better weeks, should have brought Ray Quinn back to show them how it's done, makes you appreciate how good he was Olly, Thought he was good, my fav performance by him so far. Lloyd, I think he is sooooo cute he has the Ah factor, not good enough vocally Miss Frank, do nothing for me at all a total mess Rachel, Better this week, totally OTT, must have given her Robbie's and Whitney dressing room. Jamie, Again his worst week, They will want him there for Rock next week Stacey, Her worst week so far, I think she has a strong enough fan base to keep her safe. Danyl, his best week yet, and it is becoming quite clear he is this years chosen winner. Joe, Loved him, but deff out of his comfort zone Lucie, for me best vocals of the night The Twins, The act I was wanting to see the most, they did not disappoint, they are soooo bad, cant sing, cant dance, but entertainment value superb...their comment 'Thanks for the dance moves, Simon' ...bloody brilliant Bottom 2, Rachel, Miss Frank..Rachel to go, Maybe wrong but Lloyd I think has a big fan base that will poss save him
