Yeah I agree Rachel was the right person to go as she only gave one very good performance out of 4, which obviously isn't good enough, but how ironic that she goes out the only time she stays in tune. ;D Laura White releases her single today as well. She seems to have lost a lot of weight and looks better for it. I wonder how she will do in the charts, or even if she will be invited onto the show.

Managed to watch Saturday's show last night after we'd returned in horrendous traffic all the way down from the not so frozen north (I even managed to sample the 'delights' of Skipton's nightlife with no coat on ) I was utterly exhausted watching it and the only two performances that stuck in my mind are Olly and Jedward - for different reasons ;D I thought Olly was fantastic, definitely his best yet, I can't understand why Simon is giving a standing ovation to Danyl when most of his song sounded out of tune to me and not to Olly. I love the way one of the twins is always about half a second behind the other, most entertaining act of the night - yet again. I agree though Dee, they've earned their place on the tour and I can see Simon putting them on first or second next week, then they could be in trouble. I thought it was the right choice that Rachel went, when Dermot announced she was in the bottom two, she reverted straight back to type and the false, bubbly Rachel disappeared. I don't rate Lloyd, but I did feel sorry for him with his bad throat. But I was surprised he was in the bottom two with his supposed girly vote.

This week's songs from the ITV site, what a crock of poo MOVIE WEEK Stacey Mad World - Donnie Darko Lucie This Is Me - Camp Rock Joe Circle Of Life - Elton John (From The Lion King) Lloyd Footloose - Footloose Danyl Purple Rain - Purple Rain Jamie Unchained Melody - Olly Twist And Shout - John and Edward Ghostbusters Theme - Ghostbusters Is Simon mad??? What is he thinking of giving Danyl Purple Rain?? I am sure he'll be unfavourably compared to Ruth's version last year. Don't think much of Lloyd's - he can't talk at the moment, how on earth is he going to manage that?? As for Olly's - why? /

I hate mad world that Stacey is singing, can't they give her something a bit more up tempo. Jamie singing unchained melody!! I can imagine Danyl doing all the histrionics to purple rain "being back to his old self", Why the hell is Olli singing that??? The only ones I think are ok is Joe's and John & Edward.

Joe McElderry: 'Circle Of Life' I love Joe's voice not my fav week from him but I think he'll be safe Lloyd Daniels: 'Stand By Me' Poor Lloyd he is getting worse, so uncomfortable to watch him Stacey Solomon: 'Son Of A Preacher Man' I thought she was ok, I like her more at the begining of the series Lucie Jones: 'This Is Me' Don't know this song, but thought she was really good. Danyl Johnson: 'Purple Rain' Better than last week, should be safe this week Jamie Archer: 'Crying' Oh my god, Where are they getting these songs from...Could not help but think of the classic Only fools and Horses Cwying, put Jamie right back where he started as a pub singer. Olly Murs: 'Twist And Shout' Another shocker, But Olly pulled it off he is such a fantastic performer, But who the hell is styling him. John & Edward: 'Ghostbusters Theme' I just love them Cant sing, Cant dance, Love when they get interviewed can't make my mind up if they are two daft Irish idiots, or two brilliant p**s takers Bottom two Lloyd/Jamie/Stacey....Lloyd to go

Stacey - Thank god the song was changed!!! She sounded good but not great Ollie - Love the song but thought it would be cheesy, it was good!! Lloyd - Better song choice but still very poor bless him Jamie - Thank god they changed the song but still wasn't great! Lucie - I know this song as I have three boys 9 to 15 years, Lucie sang it really well. Danyl - Good but preferrred Ruth's version, there was more emotiion. Prefer his new look but still don't like him Joe - Good but not great, thin he can do better Jedward - I actually thought it was their best performance yet! Bottom 2 - Danyl & Llloyd (My preferences, will prob be totally different)

Stacey: I thought she did a good job, not one of my favourite songs though. I'm hoping curse of the first doesn't kick in 7/10 Olly: Was dreading him singing this but I thought he was fantastic. Performance of the week for me and now my favourite ;D 9/10 Lloyd: Not good, but not as bad as I expected, think he'll be in the bottom two again though 5/10 Jamie: I'm with Joyce, I cannot listen to this song without hearing "Cwying". Not a great fan of Jamie's voice and thought this was his worse yet. He could be in trouble 4/10 Lucie: Sung it well, should imagine it will be popular with young teens, but she does nothing for me - and what was with the Stacey-like behaviour when Dermot was talking to her?? Do they give them lessons on how to be like Stacey? That did no favours for Rachel and it won't for her/ 6/10 Danyl: Not as good as Ruth's version from last year, but he sung it well, but I cannot warm to him at all. Simon is getting on my nerves by giving all of his acts a standing ovation every week - give credit where credit is due 6/10 Jedward: What can I say? Awful as usual, but so funny, I love the way one twin is always about half a second behind the other. I predicted at the start of the series they would last until about week 6, so I reckon they've got one more week left. 7/10 Joe: Beautiful voice, but I can't help thinking of Ray Quinn every week. I think his career will go exactly like Ray's, he won't win, but he'll be in the final and will end up in musical theatre. 6/10 What was up with the judges this week, there was definitely an atmosphere and Cheryl looked as if she'd been crying when the show started I'm predicting a Lloyd/Jamie bottom two with Lloyd out.

Stacey - A good strong performance from her, but no wow factor for me. Olly - Very entertaining and enjoyable. Loved the thriller dancing too. Lloyd - Better than last week, but vocally still not great. Off tune in parts as well. Deserves to be in bottom two. Jamie - The start seemed a bit off, but he really picked it up towards the middle and end. Very heart felt performance from him though. Hope he isn't in the bottom two. Lucie - Never heard of the film or the song either, but she sang it really well. Rock chick is definitely her thing. Danyl - Excellent performance from him again. I really couldn't fault it. Thought Cheryl was very rude about him in his vt. Saying he will do this big note at the end but she is over it already. Just took me back to how rude Sharon was with Steve, and it seems quite personal as well. lol Am I the only person who likes Danyl on here? ;D John and Edward - They do put a good show on and are fun, but I think come the week when they are singing early on in the show as opposed to near the end, they will be bottom two. The booing in the audience is ridiculous though. Joe - He does have a lovely voice and sang the song really well, but I agree he is definitely more suited to the west end. Bottom two - Lloyd and Jamie. If this is the case hope it is Lloyd who goes. But will the judges let Simon keep all 3 acts for Cheryl to be down to just one??

Bloody hell, how did Lloyd escape that one What a results show - I knew Simon would take it to deadlock. He's not a fool and knows the ratings would drop if there was no car crash Jedward to watch ;D Felt sorry for Lucie, but she did nothing for me - she'll be ok though and probably end up in the same west end show as Joe I haven't voted on reality shows since XF1, but I may throw a vote or two at Jedward next week ;D

Wow I didn't see that one coming!! I knew Simon wanted the twins to stay in, the way he "changed" his opinion of them. Its a bit of a joke that Lucie went home because she was good singer but I agree Kim, she was a bit bland. I felt really sorry for Lucie though. Did anyone else see Louis stick two fingers up at someone in the audience when they were booing Jedward??lol ;D

lol No I didn't see that Dee. ;D I was completely shocked at the result as well, but I am pleased Simon took it to deadlock as I was convinced the twins were going home tonight when the bottom 2 were announced and felt quite sad, so yeah very pleased they are still in. Lucie has a great voice but she is quite dull, and no doubt will get something from the show afterwards anyway. Lloyd's girlie fans obviously voted in their droves tonight, but I do think he is on borrowed time, and I am just relieved the lovely Jamie is still in as I was getting worried for a minute when his name wasn't being called out as safe.

Well it had to happen sooner or later, but I am well gobsmacked it was Lucie ....But should we really be so suprised, this is the most clued up forum, some are just realising what has been said on here for the last few years...One big fix ;D The show then looses a bit of its magic, bit like learning there's no Father Xmas I honestly dont think for one min J/E were the second least voted for.. Put them up against Lucie knowing full well taking it to dedlock would leave them safe. No way would he risk loosing the shows biggest assets

Haha thanks Dee, and good on him. What gets me is everyone is quick to blame Simon for letting it go to deadlock, but when Danyl was in the bottom two with Miss Frank and Cheryl took it to the public vote, nothing was said, and yet Danyl was the bookies favourite and clearly the better singer. That outcome could have been very different and I bet there still wouldn't be the same uproar aimed at Cheryl that we have about Lucie leaving if Danyl had received the least amount of votes and gone home. It's ridiculous.
