Where is everybody? Ok Here is my take on the acts. Danyl - Relight my fire - Don't like the song but I thought he did it justice. Proved he isn't a one trick pony. Your song - It was a bit of a slow start. Halfway through he got going and towards the end I thought it was very good. Lloyd - Million love songs - I thought this was a strong performance from him. But can't you tell who Cheryl's favourite is, as Lloyd has been on first and second for weeks now. I'm still standing - The backing track on most of the songs tonight was way too high, and I couldn't even tell whether he was good or not as I could hardly hear his voice. Olly - Love aint here anymore - Again I could hardly hear his vocals, but from what I could hear I thought he gave a strong performance. Saturday - This was missing something for me. Don't particularly like the song much anyway. I preferred his first song. Good but not great. Joe - Could it be magic - Effortless. He is always note perfect. Thought it was excellent. My favourite so far. Sorry seems to be the hardest word - Again another really strong performance from Joe. Can't fault him. Stacey - Rule the World - Couldn't hear her vocals that well either in parts. Thought she sang it well though. The way you look tonight - Didn't really like the beginning and middle. But the ending was great. My bottom 2 tonight woud be Lloyd and Olly. But I think it will be Lloyd and Danyl. Lloyd will go.

Just caught up with last nights show.
Danyl, Relight my fire was ok... Your Song thought he totally butchered it. he is so out of tune at times.
Lloyd, Million Love Songs much better than I thought he would be, I'm still standing again thought he was ok
Olly, Love aint here anymore, Again a ok performance Saturday, Too cheesey but like you Caz don't like the song either.
Joe, Could it be magic, EXCELLENT Sorry seems to be the hardest word, Gave me goosebumps, he is moving into a league of his own...
Stacey Rule the World, Again just ok The way you look tonight, Not a good week for Stacey but deserves to be in the final with Joe
Down to public vote tonight...hope your crystal ball is not working tonight Caz and Danyl is voted off
Joe and Stacey for the final.

Really pleased Danyl was on first, but what happened with the second song, why did Lloyd sing first yet again??? Danyl: Didn't like either of his performances, thought he was off key in both, especially the second. I can't understand why he hasn't been allowed to do up tempo songs with dancing before It really irritates me when the judges praise someone who has blatantly not made a good job of the song I've heard rumours this week that he was signed by Simon a few months before XF and his appearance on the show is just a massive PR excercise. If this is true, then hopefully it's backfired and he's gone tonight 3/10 Lloyd: Not brilliant on either song, but he is improving. He's not half as bad as the judges make out. I reckon he'll be saved again tonight by the 'coz 'e iz fit' voters. 5/10 Olly: Enjoyed both performances, not the best singer in the competition but he definitely has the X factor (whatever that is). The stylists need shooting, he looked awful in both outfits, whatever they put him in looks about 2 sizes too small. Think he will get the rebound vote tonight. 7/10 Joe: Superb vocal performance on both songs, he definitely is the best vocalist in the competition. I just cannot see him as a pop star though likeable as he is. 8/10 Stacey: Competent performances but nothing magical. How come she got to do two ballads?? I think she will get through on her personality alone. 7/10 I think (and want!!) Danyl out *crosses fingers* The show has lost it's sparkle and fun, I missed the twins

Think you must be reading my mind Kim, I may as well have copied and pasted your post as my take on the evening ;D I went out last night so watched it today. I also wondered why Lloyd was on first in the 2nd half instead of Danyl?? And yes Caz, you can definately tell who Cheryl's favourite is, its totally unfair Danyl - Actually thought he didn't sound too bad on relight my Fire but I hated his 'your song' rendition, he sounded off key. Lloyd - A million love songs was pretty good The second song wasn't great though but I agree not as bad as the judges make out. Olly - Wish he would've had better songs tbh, i didn't like either of them but I still love Olly and hope he is safe this week. Joe - I agree he is the most consistent, he sings almost note perfect and is a nice guy, he just doesn't have the X Factor for me Stacey - Good performances but nothing special. I hope your right with who you think it will be Caz but I hope its Danyl who goes, I doubt it though.

Shame it wasn't Danyl Not surprised Lloyd went, he's been favourite to go every week ;D I don't think Olly did himself any favours with his reaction when he went through. I reckon Joe's got this in the bag now.

lol I wish I did Joyce. I'd earn a fortune. ;D Kim I agree about Olly's reaction. He didn't even consider how Lloyd must have been feeling did he? I haven't been a big fan of Olly's last few performances, as there have been something missing in them for me. I can't put my finger on what it is, I just don't think he has been as good as he used to be. I wouldn't be too bothered if he went next week. Same with Stacey. I would like to see a Danyl v Joe final. you got inside info Caz ;D Ah just wanted to give a hug to Lloyd,, but he looked so relieved to be going. x

Hi all, do you know what, I don't know why I watch this show any more, its so obviously biased, I just don't enjoy it, I spend my whole time getting angry and swearing at Cowell!! ;D Ok my take on tonight. Ollie - Crap song choice, it didn't suit his voice at all, he really struggled with the low part but was ok with 2nd half of the song. Joe - Perfect song choice for Joe and he sang it well Stacey - Crap song choice, she didn't look comfortable and was concentrating more on the routine, pretty poor. Danyl - Ahh look who got the pimp spot again, and one of the best MJ songs The first half was pretty bad but he got the token money note in I really can't ablide him and just get wound up watching his performance. "2nd song: Ollie - Well I guess Simon wants Danyl in the final at Ollie's expense, crap song and hated the arrangement!! Joe - Boring song choice, I expect he sang it competently, I dont know as I FF it. Stacey -Better song choice but no wow factor Danyl - Whitney??? I suppose it gave him the opprtunity for teh token money note. Sit down Simon it was far from good! Sorry for the rant but I am actually seething

Olly is being stitched up big time, they have turned him into a joke.
Danyl has not sang a song yet which he has not had tuning problems, if any other act had sang a Whitney song that bad Simon would have crucified them
Stacey looked so uncomfortable in her first song, the second song she should have nailed it but didn't, she has got worse not better.
Joe note perfect again, for me he is miles ahead of the rest, bit dull, bit samey each week but at least he is consistent
I hope Joe is safe, I think we can safely say Danyl will be in the final, So I think it will be between Stacey and Olly to go

You know what Joyce, you have got it spot on! Joe is always consistent but he hasn't got the X factor, he deserves to be in the final though. I also think Olly has gotten worse as well as Stacey but I blame it on song choices, some songs suit some people's voices and some don't, Poor Stacey has had to sing male singers/groups songs for the past 4 weeks. I really do believe for some reason Simon sees something in Danyl and that He, not Joe, is the chosen one this year. I would be happy for anyone to win apart from Danyl, I just don't like the guy. Oh well, roll on American Idol ;D

Completely agree with what both of you have said and your reviews. I just lost patience with it last night, it was just too predictable. I knew Olly would be on first, I knew his two songs would be crap choices before the show even started. Joe is by far and away the best singer, but he just does not have the X factor. I cannot imagine what market he would appeal to Poor Stacey and that first routine, I read she had fallen off those chairs in rehearsals and was very wary about doing the routine live. I didn't think her second song was brilliant either, I expected it to be, but it just wasn't. As for Danyl, he winds me up nearly as much as Simon's standing ovations every single time for him I reckon if Danyl got on stage and farted, Simon would stand up and clap He's lost absolutely all credibility for me this series I've heard rumours that Simon signed Danyl a few months before XF began auditions and is using his appearances as a giant PR excercise - thus saving advertising money and gaining votes money If true it makes Simon's Danyl bias clear I would be gobsmacked if anyone other than Olly (or Stacey) goes tonight

Hi guys. Here is my take on the acts. Olly - Can you feel it - Entertaining. But the song didn't showcase his vocals at all. It was just more of the same as last week. We can work it out - I don't know why they changed the arrangement. It didn't work, and there was way too much silly dancing this week. He looked like he had ants in his pants. Joe - She's out of my life - He sang this with such emotion. It was beautiful. Open arms - Another really strong performance from Joe. Note perfect yet again. Fantastic voice and I think he will win. But I also think a year down the line and Simon will have dropped him. Like he does with all the male winners. Stacey - The way you make me feel - Just ok for me. That song was too big a risk to be taking on semi final night. I don't know what Dannii was thinking. Somewhere - I thought she sounded amazing singing this song. Although preferred Rhydian's performance a few years back. Danyl - Man in the mirror - loved it. I thought he gave a really powerful strong performance. *runs for cover* ;D I have nothing - Again another great song choice for his voice. Started off a bit slow, but when he got going, thought he was great. Weakest contestant tonight without a doubt was Olly. Anyone other than Joe or Danyl deserves to go, as they definitely gave the strongest performances, and deserve to be in the final.

Blimey that was the biggest shock of the series I was convinced Olly was going - loved his reaction when they said he was going through ;D I'm predicting Joe 1st, Olly 2nd, Stacey 3rd.
