I lilked Paige but also didn't "get" him. I thought that Katie had a record contract in the states so she was disqualified so one of the others from Cheryls group would go through??? Is that not right???. I kind of admired Cher for saying she was done, Cheryl asked if she wanted to come back later, why??? She couldn't sing??? I'm glad she made it as she was one of my favourites in the auditons. I was so shocked that Gamu didn't make it though. TrayC was forgettable, great voice but I forgot she was in the comp but Gamu was quirky, I loved her!! I can't believe that both manufactured groups went through. I thought the girls deserved it but not sure about the boys. By the way the one that stepped on the sea urchin, Louis Tomlinson, is the one from Doncaster aka one of the ones that you couldn't hear sing!! lol I thought Danii made the right choices and Louis should've put Elesha through, she was amazing, instead he went for Mary, boring choice!!! I haven't a clue what's happenign on Saturday but it'll be nice to have a night in, instead of watching on catch up;)

Oh so that was Liam. Aww I felt for him and a couple of the others in that group as when the lads sang at Simon's house, it was just like Liam and Harry were the lead vocals, and the other lads were just there to make up the numbers. So I hope they change the arrangement sometimes, and let each lad get a chance to showcase their voice. Apparently Kate was signed to a record label in the US, but she has managed to get out of it. She gets so many get out of jail free cards that one.

Okay here is my take on last nights show FYD - I thought they were good, not great though. The black guy's vocals are not as good as the guy with the mohican who was also on lead vocals. Matt - Brilliant. He looks like he has been doing this for years, and I love the sound of his voice. John - He sang the song well, and seems really likeable, but he didn't wow me. Rebecca - Her voice is a bit of an acquired taste. I thought the song really suited her voice though. Storm - A rocker singing a rock song?? He is good at what he does, but I wonder if he is a bit of a one trick pony. I suppose only time will tell. Belle Amie - I thought they sounded quite good. Cher - I don't think Cher was as good as the judges made out tbh, as yes she can rap, but her singing isn't great, and she comes across as slightly arrogant. Diva Fever - These 2 make me laugh. They bring the fun element to the show. Paije - He sounded good until he started running about, and then I think he lost it from there. Katie - What did she look like? Looked awful, and didn't sound that great either. The music overpowered her voice in parts as well. Wasn't keen. Mary - Fantastic. She sounded really good. Nicolo - I feel like he is being stitched up slightly with the song choice he was given. He has a great voice, and he did well with the song he was given, but it was hard to take him seriously because of what he had to work with. One Direction - I thought they sounded really good, and they really gel together. Happy that they all got to showcase their voice also. Girls will love them. Wagner - Well it was entertaining, but why were the 2 female dancers rubbing their boobs at the end? Hardly family viewing. ;D I think he will be a goner tonight. Aiden - Brilliant. I think he and Matt are fantastic. They sing with such emotion. Definitely my 2 favs. Treyc - She sang the song really well. Really belted it out, but I think she is very similar to Alexandra Burke. There were 5 really good acts for me and they were Matt, Aiden, Mary, One Direction and Treyc. Bottom 2 - Wagner, Katie and Paije/cher.

Going to have to wrack my brains to remember them all Thought it was a really entertaining show last night. Here goes: FYD - Liked them. Thought their voices suffered because of the dancing, but that is what they do so they will have to sort that out. Think curse of the first will affect them and could be in the bottom. Matt - Excellent. Every time he closed his eyes I was shouting, he comes across as vulnerable which will gain him votes John - He was ok, but not really that memorable Rebecca - One of my favourites. Thought she sang the song really well. Storm - I can't help it, but I just don't like him. He looked ridiculous with that eye make up - sang ok, but wouldn't mind if he went Belle Amie - I'm in total opposition to you Caz, I thought they were awful. They sounded out of tune and did not seem comfortable as a group. Definite bottom 3 tonight Cher - She was the one I changed my mind about last night. Not my sort of act, but she is probably the most relevant today's music scene of any contestant in any series. Diva Fever - Very funny. I only heard one of them sing though, think they'll be safe tonight. Paije - He sounded good until he started running about, and then I think he lost it from there. Katie - Good grief - what had she come as! Thought her voice was very weak. Problem is if she's in the bottom the judges will save her. Mary - Didn't think she was as great as everybody seemed to think. She sounded like a competent pub singer to me, no doubt Ireland will be voting in their droves for her. Thought she could have been styled better. Nicolo - Poor Nicolo- wrong song. He has a good voice but could be in trouble tonight One Direction - Thought they worked really well together. They will appeal to the tweenies, I can see them lasting until the end. Wagner - What a waste of time putting him through, I know the overs were a poor bunch, but surely there was someone there who could actually sing. I think Diva Fever will get the novelty vote and Wagner will be out either this week or next Aiden - Absolutely superb - what a surprise, I thought he would be the token good looking boy who goes in the first couple of weeks. He really connected with the audience - a really moving performance (even if he did look as if he had a straight jacket on!!) Treyc - Same old, same old. Every year there is a black female who belts the songs out and has a money note. I much prefer Rebecca. I was quite distracted by the size of her enormous arse too Liked: Rebecca, Matt, Cher and Aiden Bottom: Wagner, Belle Ami, FYD - judges will save Belle Ami

Aww I felt really sorry for Nicolo, as if he had been given a better song he would still be there, as he has a great voice. Even more shocked at Wagner staying. I was a bit put off by FYD as the black guy with the glasses is a bit creepy looking, but I would have preferred them to stay over the annoying Katie.

Poor Nicolo - his little face looked so gutted Can't understand how the likes of Wagner and Belle Ami went through Knew without a doubt the judges would save Katie and her chin. Simon spent too much time, effort and money on buying her out of her record contract in America for her to go the first week (And oi Caz, don't diss the glasses, I ordered a pair more or less the same in Specsavers today!!)

Kim, have you got a crystal ball?? Except for your predictions, your write up got it pretty spot on! Can't really remember a lot about 2nd half of Saturday nights show, too much red wine Here is my take on what I remember ;D FYD - I thought they sang well but I agree the guy with the mohican was the better singer and should've sang the whole song. I also thought they would be i trouble as they were on first. Matt - Thought the song choice was poor (to be honest a lot of the song choices were pretty bad considering the vast choice) but thought he sang it really well, I was worried about him being on so early though. John - Nice enough guy, crap sonf, forgetable. Rebecca - Loved the song but didn't think it really suited her, I think she is better suited to the slow Nora Jones type songs. Storm - He is a little strange and has been turned into something of a comedy act. Can't fault his voice though. Belle Amie - I thought they were pretty shocking and the song choice didn't do much for their voices, I actually thought they would be in trouble too. Cher - Ok performance but I also didn't think it was as good as the judges made out. Diva Fever - I can kind of remember them jumping around teh stage like something from Wham but other than that my memorys blank ;D Paije - Can't remember Katie - She looked ridiculous and her singing wasn't that good either. She kind of reminds me of a female Rod Stewart but not as good. Mary - She sang it well, the styling was a little weird though. Nicolo - I agree, poor song choice and it didn't do much for him. One Direction - Can't remember Wagner - Remeber a pretty shocking beginning and then I think we FF it ;D Aiden - I can just remember this freaky looking guy with psycotic eyes looking a bit like he was gonna murder someone, I don't remember the singing. TreyC - Can't remember I wasn't shocked to see the group and Katy in the bottom 2 but I was sad to see the band there, i thought they deserved another chance, it really pees me off when they don't take it to deadlock

I reckon Katie had the next lowest votes after Nicolo, that's why it never went to deadlock It will be interesting when they publish the voting percentages at the end of the series to see if my theory's right ;D

Ok, here are my views on tonights show: Storm - Vocals weren't that great tonight and he had no backing singers unlike all the other acts, I think they may have chosen Storm to leave this week TreyC - Ok but not as good as Ruth when she did Purple Rain. Paige - Sang the song well but I still don't 'get' him. Thought the DJ in the background was off putting. John - Great vocals, really liked him tonight. One direction - I liked them tonight, I thought they made the song sound like a boyband song. Aidan - A few bum notes but I actually liked his performance. I'm sick of the Cheryl/Simon alliance though Diva Fever - Did they sing at all?? Rubbish, I hated it! Katie - I actually thought she was very good tonight without all the silly outfits. Cher - Ok, not brilliant but ok Wagner - ha ha, great song choice, the dancers at the end though ;D Rebecca - She is growing on me, a few dodgy notes but I like her. Mary - Good but not amazing, I don't get all the cheering and adoration Belle Amie - Better than last week but they still aren't doing it for me. Matt - Amazing ;D I love him, he's like a mix between Steve Brookstein, Shayne Ward and Ollie Murs. He's my winner this year TreyC, Paige, Storm, Diva Fever, Wagner, Belle Amie, Any of those could be in trouble.

Storm - He sounded and looked really dodgy. I cannot warm to him at all, his eyes are emotionless (shark eyes mark 2?? ;D) I think he's out tonight, curse of the first!! TreyC - She still sounds like a shouter to me, seen it all before. I notice the stylists did nothing for her arse again - in fact they made it bigger by quiliting it Paige - Thought it was one of his worse performances. I agree with Simon the dancers were stupid and didn't suit the song. I reckon he's cannon fodder and could be out with Storm tonight John - Really enjoyed his performance. But he has no X factor One direction - One of my favourites tonight, even if they don't win I can see them being as big as JLS Aidan - Felt so sorry for him, he wasn't as bad as the judges were saying. Trouble is last week he was so good it was going to be hard to top Diva Fever - No comment except only one of them was singing and it was the same line over and over again. I'm old enough to remember Bony M and the song they sang was very obscure. Katie - Good performance and voice, but I do not like her Cher - I don't get all the praise she's recieving. I thought last night's performance was very school musical and just plain odd She comes across very strangely when she's interviewed too Wagner - Utter and complete nonsense Rebecca - One of my favourites, her voice really is unique. Mary - Don't get the Mary love either She sounds like a shouty pub singer to me. And surely the stylists can put her in something other than black Belle Amie - Slightly better than last week, but they do not seem credible as a group Matt - Superb once again. If they were going to make him go hatless, at least give him a haircut! Prediction for bottom three - Storm, Paige, Bel Amie - Storm and Paige out (probably completely wrong again though!!)

I completely agree with most of your comments Dee and Kim about last nights acts. Storm - Ok but vocals not great. Needed some oomph. I also think bottom 2. Treyc - She really belts the song out but as I said last week, her voice is too similar to Alexandra Burke. Paije - I'm not getting him at all either. He got better towards the end, but he doesn't have the wow factor at all. 1 Direction - I thought they were very good. I really like them. I think Zane the dark skinned lad will be a bit of a heart throb in a couple of years time as he is very cute. Cher - I thought she was better than last week, but I am still not keen on her voice, and her attitude. John - Wow he sounded so good last night. Note perfect. Diva Fever - Didn't know the song, and didn't like their performance. Too cheesy and too many ew -e -ews for my liking. Rebecca - She gave a very strong performance. I thought she did really well. Aiden - I wasn't happy with Cheryl and Simon's comments either as I thought he was really good. It probably doesn't help with him being the bookies fav, and obviously they both see him as a massive threat. Wagner - I thought he sounded much better than the week before. I quite enjoyed his performance. Katie - Much better than the previous week, although I just cannot warm to her and her massive ego. Belle Amie - I thought they gave a good performance, although I couldn't believe they were arguing over who sang what line. Mary - I thought she was very good again. She just belts them out so effortlessly. Matt - Talk about saving the best until last. Amazing. He sings with such emotion. He reminds me also of Steve Brookstein. But lets hope lessons have been learnt from Simon Cowell and if he were to win, that he wouldn't end up going down the same path as Steve. Best of the night for me were Matt, Rebecca, Mary, Aiden, John and 1 Direction. Bottom 3 - Diva Fever, Wagner, and Storm

Ooooer, I'm getting better - two out of three predicted! ;D Sing off was a complete waste of time, same as last week, it was obvious who was going and who was staying Glad Storm is out - I found him very creepy.

Yeah, 2 out of 3 for me as well Kim. I couldn't warm to Storm either, but it's a shame really, as when I saw him at his first audition and at bootcamp, I thought he was very good. I think the stylists dying his hair bright red didn't help his cause either. Was it just me or did the tall guy from Diva Fever keep singing the wrong lines when they sang I will survive?, as the other guy sounded great, but it just seemed like he was all over the place. lol I had to laugh when they were on the xtra factor and they were asked what they would have changed, and they said to have had a different mentor, as they didn't want to sing that crappy song in the first place. I like their honesty, as Simon did let them down massively.
