Olly - He is a great entertainer, and a real natural. Gave a very strong performance. Lloyd - Looks the part, but he didn't give it enough oomph. Good but not great imo. I remember when Sam Nixon sang Mr Bojangles on Pop Idol a few years back on Big band night, and he was just one year older than Lloyd at the time, and Sam was absolutely amazing and looked so polished, where as Lloyd looked like a fish out of water. Miss Frank - Thought they were really good tonight. The arrangement worked well with Graziella's rapping. I enjoyed it. Rachel - Looked and sounded a lot better, but she still isn't great, and when she started going all hyper talking to Dermot she just came across as very annoying and immature. Cannot warm to her at all. Jamie - Thought he gave yet another strong performance but I am annoyed that Simon changed his song 24 hrs before the live show. He may have put Jamie in the bottom two by doing that. Stacey - Boring song, and a bit of a boring performance from her this week. Vocals are good, but it did nothing for me. Danyl - Definitely the one to beat. His performance was excellent yet again, and he can reach and hit those big notes perfectly. Joe - Very good, but not as good as the week before. lol Dee I picked up on the male dancers as well. He does have the likeability factor and I think he will definitely make the final. Lucy - An outstanding performance I thought. Definitely one of the best of the night. John and Edward - Really enjoyed their performance yet again. They don't take themselves too seriously and probably had one of the hardest tasks of the night having to sing and dance at the same time, lol well I do use the word singing loosely. I wouldn't call Ricky Martin big band week either Dee. I think bottom two will be Jamie unfortunately and Lloyd. I think Rachel will get sympathy vote as she has been in the bottom two for the last two weeks.

Bloody hell, my gob was well and truly smacked I was not expecting Danyl to be in the bottom two - Miss Frank I wasn't at all surprised at. I think the public are now voting with a Big Brother mindset - for personalities rather than talent. For whatever reasons, Danyl comes across as overconfident and thingyy and however good his singing is he can't have won many fans. The booing of John and Edward by the audience is ridiculous and must be gaining them thousands and thousands of votes (but I still think they are very enteraining ;D). Glad Olly was safe though. Don't think enjoy is the right word Joyce

Omg I was totally shocked as well, as Danyl was clearly the best of the night last night. I can only presume that people thought he was safe. A bit like Laura White being in the bottom 2 last year, and going home. All her fans were ringing up in their droves after she had been booted out, but yet why didn't they vote? It's a shame Miss Frank were in the bottom as well, as I did like them also, but against Danyl there was no contest they had to go. Really thought it would have been Lloyd though when it was down to the last 3, and there will be no sympathy vote for Rachel next week so she will be very vulnerable again.

I think it's a combination of Danyl coming over too thingyy, bad press, and I honestly think Simon's standing ovations each week are genuinely peeing people off. I think people are wiseing up to just how much manipulation actually goes on, The show for me has lost something, I honestly don't know what I really think this year, there are some decent acts but I cannot see anything brilliant no stand outs, and it says it all when each week it's the twins I look forward to seeing the most.

Brill ain't it ;D They were put through as cannon fodder - we all know that this show is all about the judges and their egos, not the acts. Hopefully they are switched on enough to know why they are there and will milk it for every last bit of exposure they can get out of it. And who can blame them?
I hope J&E actually win and really destroy the credibility of the show. It may teach them for putting through PR acts rather than true singers. Then they complain when people vote for them!

I so agree Joyce. But the cynical part of me can't help thinking Simon knows exactly what he's doing, hence John and Edward getting the huge staged performances with dancers, confetti and of course giant wobbly Jedwards, together with them having the pimp spot on Saturday. I can see viewing figures and voting revenue plunging if and when they are voted off.

I loved it when I saw Daniel was in the bottom 2 , I actually punched the air I knew they were gonna get rid of Miss Frank though unfortunately As for John & Edward, i would love it if it were true and like you Joyce I would love it if they did win ;D I'm a bit cynical, part of me thinks this is down to Simon, a ploy to make people think they don't need to vote as much because they are getting enough votes already

Yep you are poss both right, but I think now Simon has played that card once to often for people to fall for that, This years show is struggling, What better way to win the ratings war is to have controversy between The Twins and the Favorite, I don't think for one second J/E will be allowed to win this. I think without doubt Ollie is the best in his group, but he will be sacrificed for Danyl, unless because public opinion has changed toward Danyl he dumps him

Its that time again Joe - LOVE the song!! Its one of my favourites and Joes did it justice, he is just so cute Lucy - Thought she looked great this week and sang really well. Lloyd - Oh dear, who is voting for him? Danyl - FFS get over yourself and stop playing the victim Totally murdered one of my favourite songs Stacey - Love Stacey but not overkeen on her performance. I didn't think it was a rock song Jamie - This was his week he should have really wowed me, he didn't Jedward - Great song choice, I wish people would give them a break Rachel - Absolutely brilliant, her best week yet, thank god she didn't say anything this week. Ollie - Fantastic!!! He gets better and better!! ;D Bottom 2 - Lloyd & Danyl for me, I've stopped counting Jedward ;D I hope your having a good time at the outlaws Kim

Oh Dee, I am running out of nice things to say..... Boring, Boring show Where has the magic gone, this year is getting worse not better Joe good vocals Lucie I think she and Ollie were best of the night. Lloyed - He is so cute not the best singer but I think the kids will keep him in. Danyl - Looked totally deflated (A Simon Ploy) He should try being the Twins for a week Total Train Wreck Stacey - Good voice, but a bit samey every week, Mind it did Leona no harm Jamie - I really like him but not as a xfactor contestant. J/E - Thank god for these two, We need them there for at least another week for the tour. Rachel - She looked stunning, a poor version of Alex Ollie - Best with Lucie Bottom 2 Danyl and Jamie See you later

Joe - I didn't actually know this song, but I thought Joe gave a very strong performance.
Lucie - This performance showed how versatile she can be. She did rock chick really well. I enjoyed it.
Danyl - Aww I actually felt sorry for Danyl this week. He messed up a couple of times by forgetting the words, but towards the end he really belted the song out. You can see the negative stories in the press have really dented his confidence, and for the press to compare him to hitler is just ridiculous.
Lloyd - Oh dear. Looks the part but his voice is just not good enough, and he was off key a few times as well. How long can he keep getting by on his looks?
Stacey - I liked Stacey's performance this week. She has a lovely tone to her voice, and sang the song really well.
Jamie - I feel the judges are too critical of Jamie. He can't seem to win either way. I love the sound of his voice and I thought he nailed it. He definitely knows how to work a crowd.
Rachel - Her best performance to date. I don't like Rachel but loved her performance. Her voice sounded great, and yes I am pleased she kept her mouth shut at the end as well.
John and Edward - They do make me laugh these two. They always put on a great show, but I do wonder how come they get this massive production, and yet the other contestants don't?
Olly - He gave yet another very good polished performance. He just keeps getting better each week.
Bottom two Lloyd and Jamie. Not that I think Jamie deserves to but I am not sure the twins will be in the bottom or even Rachel this week. It's a tough one to call.

Just heard that the reason Danyl messed up in the early part of his performance was the fact he couldn't hear the backing track. There is a thread about it on DS which would explain why he sounded like he was off key at the beginning. Also what the hell was Cheryl wearing last night? She looked ridiculous. Dannii is definitely beating her in the style stakes this year.

OMG what was that dress??? It looked ridiculous ;D Daniel being off key didn't bother me as much as his "poor me" performance. He just acted like a sulky kid. John & Edward get flak each week and each week they come back smiling. Rachel had been in the bottom 2 twice and came back fighting each week, he could learn a lot from them. If he is struggling with the media then he really shouldn't be in this business. As for tonights results show, I was shocked to see Lloyd & Rachel in the bottom 2, both for different reasons. I thought she gave her best performance yet and definately was one of the better ones last night. I thought Lloyd would go on for a while yet as he would be getting the teeny vote even though he's not that good. I atually thought they would get rid of Rachel this week because she had been in the bottom 2 twice already but she was obviously the better singer regardless of Lloyd losing his voice, I did feel for him though as he is quite a strong lad and very humble. I just wish they would get rid of teh judges vote and leave it to the public every time. I think Jedward may be in trouble next week, I think that now they are definately on the tour they may be dispensible
