My take - Groups - Not impressed by any of them, Two shoes are like a joke act (I read that the blonde one is pregnant too). Not a fan of rapping so not a fan of the young boy band, the girl band just look odd, one of them looks like some sort of a goblin Can't comment on Tulisa's mix up band 'cos I've not heard them sing together! Overs - I don't mind Kitty, her voice is very good, but she will be this year's Katie Weasel. Not really impressed by the soldier. Cannot abide Sami (and not just because she looks like Peter Kay ) was very disappointed they put her through instead of Carolyn (I remember her from the second series of Fame Academy - she came third, which could be the reason she wasn't chosen). Jonny is just plain weird, I did wonder at first if he used to be a woman Boys - Like Frankie, I know he's more style than substance and doesn't have the best voice, but he'll be interesting to watch. Marcus is by far my favourite at the moment, so pleased he got through ;D James is ok, I think he'll be the tweenies favourite. Craig could be first out. Girls - I like Janet, but her diction was awful at her judges house audition, she needs to pull back on the yelping!! Amelia I really like, amazed she's only 16!! Neutral about Sophie, but after really disliking Misha at the auditions, I'm warming to her, just hoping they don't turn her into the one that belts the song out as they seem to have one every year. Not disppointed about Jade, I thought her judges house audition was not good, she peaked too early! I also have a theory - The final 16 are doing the M and S Christmas ads this year instead of Twiggy, Kylie, etc. Jade would have been very hard to dress for her age for an advert! I know Sami is a larger lady, but she is also older. I reckon the twist will be that four go next weekend, one from each category, with the judges having to make the decision who goes from their own category from the bottom two. The final is on 11 December, so there is no way they can get rid of them all one at a time by then!!

Okay here is my take on the best and worst of last night.
Amelia - Great Rock voice. Really like her
Johnny - Off key at times, which the judges didn't even pick up on, but has likeability. Voice not that special last night though.
Rhythmix - Was surprised with their performance. Thought they harmonised really well. Good performance.
Frankie - Great stage presence, and good voice.
Sophie - Didn't like the arrangement of the song. Didn't blow me away.
Johnjo - Didn't like song choice. Felt for him last night.
2Shoes- Oh dear. Vocals just ok for me. I was paying more attention to the male dancers than their voices. lol Why was the brunette's lippy all over her face., Looked like coco the clown. Bet she was mortified her friend didn't tell her. ;D
James - I thought he gave good performance. Not best song choice but he does have a nice tone to his voice.
Misha - Very strong performance and very confident on stage.
Nu vibe - Good, but not great.
Marcus - Love him. Great look nad even better voice.
Sami - Belts them out really well. Shouldn't have been dropped in first place.
The Risk - What can I say - Brilliant. Definitely better of the 2 boybands by miles. Loved them last night.
Craig Colton - Sounded amazing. Love the tone to his voice.
Kitty - Good vocals but no likeability.
Janet - Perfect song choice for her. She sounded very good also.
Best 3 - The Risk, Craig and Janet
Acts I think will be dropped - Sophie, Johnjo, 2 Shoes, James

Really enjoyed last night's show - it was nice to have judges that weren't bickering all the time and concentrated on the acts. My take: Amelia - Thought she was much better in the auditions, her make over was awful. Think she could be in trouble tonight Jonny - This year's Wagner, but can actually sing Rhythmix - They surprised me, they were much better than I thought - still can't get over the fact one of them still looks like a goblin. Frankie - Thought his voice was better than his auditions, still not the best, but he does have charisma. My first crush was on an actor called Jack Wild, Frankie really reminds me of him Sophie - She blew me away, much, much improved. I can see Kelly in a quandary tonight over who goes, Sophie, who we've had hardly any back story on, or Amelia who is an early favourite. I think Sophie deserves to stay, but suspect she will go Johnjo - Bad song choice, badly sung, he has zero appeal. I think he is the one definite that will go tonight - but who knows with Louis?! 2 shoes - Entertaining, but like a Shelia's Wheels ad. Think they could be out tonight James - oh stop with the sob stories!! He was just ok, bad song choice. Misha - Fantastic performance, but she is just not likeable - she comes across as very arrogant. NuVibe - Ok, but not great Marcus - My favourite! But didn't think his performance stood out Sami - Thought she did really well - but she's this year's Tesco Mary and I cannot get over the Peter Kay thing ;D The Risk - Wow, I really do think a group could win this year- best performance of the night for me - well done Tulisa! Craig - Technically superb, but I cannot see him as a pop star, if he wins he'll be another Joe and go into musical theatre Kitty - Was worried for her when I realised she was singing one of the most difficult Queen tracks, but I think she did it well. Definitely this year's hate figure Janet - lovely tone to her voice, but her diction and yelping is going to get very irritating as the weeks go on. Favourite three: The Risk, Marcus, Misha Predicted evictees: Johnjo, 2 shoes, James, Sophie (but should be Amelia)

@ Kim ( 2 shoes - but like a Shelia's Wheels ad. ) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D @ Caz (2Shoes- I was paying more attention to the male dancers than their voices. lol Why was the brunette's lippy all over her face., Looked like coco the clown. Bet she was mortified her friend didn't tell her.) ;D ;D ;D ;D You two are funny The biggest surprise for me was The Risk...Tulisa has deff got a potential winner there..I like her to.. Out , Sophie, Johnjo, 2 Shoes, James, but would prefer it to be Craig But i am worried for Amelia who I want to see more of so fingers crossed... Her along with Marcus is my fav with The Risk not far behind Johnny is my guilty pleasure ;D

I think our opinions are very similar this week with regards to the bottom 4. Amelia - Thought the song choice was a bit meh! She sang it really well though and she does have great stage presence. Johnny - Really nice guy but I cannot abide his squeaky voice, I actually thought he might come out as a drag queen, maybe that would've been the better option Rythmix - I thought they did really well and the one that looks like a 'goblin' ;D was surprisingly very good Frankie - although not the greatest voice in the competition, I love his tone and stage presence. Sophie - Lovely voice but she sounds very much like Adele and has zero stage presence, unfortunately forgettable. JohnJo - Oh dear, he really was quite terrible and out of his depth. 2 Shoes - I really like them but they weren't that great. I think the dark haired one held her mic too near her mouth Caz, it looked a state didn't it, I bet she's mortified ;D Love your Sheilas Wheels comment Kim, thats exactly what it looked like! ;D James - Lovely voice and think he did quite well but not as good as the others in his group I didn't like he styling either, I wish they would leave them alone. Misha - Sang it really well but I just can't warm to her, all I see is arrogance Kim Nu Vibe - I did enjoy their performance and I liked the song but there was something missing, not sure what it it though. Marcus - Lovely guy, great voice, good looks but to me he looks a bit old fashoined when he dances, like a singer from the 80's or something and a bit lost. Sami - Really good and Paul commented on the 'Peter Kay look' Kim, it did make me laugh ;D The Risk - well the risk seems to have paid off luckily but I do think a lot of it is because Charlie is so good, I still think he would've done just as well had he been with his original band Craig Colton - Amazing, my favourite atm but I agree Kim, he doesn't look like a pop star and maybe that will be his downfall. Kitty - Was it just me or did she seem like she had toned it down massively? Great performance though. Janet - Really like this girl atm but maybe the squeakyness will get on my nerves in the future. Best 3 for me - Craig, Janet, The Risk Dropped acts - Sophie, 2 Shoes, James, JohnJo or Johnny

Gutted for poor Amelia. She had such a beautiful voice. I wish Sophie had gone instead. They cut her lovely blond hair off and dyed it bloody pink, just to get rid of her in week 1. I wouldn't be best pleased.

I'm the only one that is not bothered about Amelia going then? Felt incredibly sorry for her, but she's 16, she still has loads of time to prove herself. Also felt sorry for James, both his and Amelia's songs were very poor choices Did anyone else notice the filthy look Misha gave Sophie and Amelia when Kelly said she was through? I think she could turn out to be a bigger diva than Kitty

okay ladies, here is the opinion from the North West. ;D Nu vibe - Was I hearing something different to Gary and Louis, as I thought they were much better than week one, and sang well together. Sami - When she sang the high notes she sang amazing, although I do agree, the song was old fashioned for her. Good performance. Craig - Thought he sang the song really well. Great vocals as well. Janet - Song perfect for her voice yet again. Beautiful. Frankie - THink Frankie is getting stitched up a bit, as week one and 2 he gets songs that don't showcase his vocals at all, so for me the performance was just ok. Johnny - He brings the fun factor to the show, but I agree with Gary, he is this years "joke act" thanks to Louis. Marcus - Love his voice. Thought he gave a strong performance. Don't know what the judges are on about??? Really enjoyed it. Rhythmix - Another good performance from them I thought. They have surprised me. Misha - Aka Grace Jones lookalike. She always gets the big productions. Great voice though, and great stage presence. The Risk - Love these guys. Another really strong performance from them again. Sophie - I thought she struggled with some of the high notes. Just ok for me. Her voice just doesn't blow me away. Kitty - Pimp spot for Kitty Great voice, just don't like her. "How dare the audience boo me" Err Earth to Kitty, you did bring all this on yourself love, with your divaisms and arrogance. Is Divaisms even a word? Is now. ;D Best 3 - Janet, Marcus, The Risk Bottom 3 - Frankie, Johnny and Sophie. Although not sure it will include Frankie because of his popularity. But hope Nu vibe don't pay the price with curse of being first.

And here are the results from the sunny South East jury Nu vibe - They wasn't as bad as the panel were making out - curse of the first will see them out tonight though. Sami - Cannot warm to her, I can't get over the Peter Kay thing. I think she's like a Tesco Value Mary Craig - Sang well, but not as well as last week. I think he'll do well in the competition, but if he wins will go the same way as all previous male winners Janet - Beautifully sung, but the affectation in her voice is getting seriously irritating Frankie - Emperor's New Clothes springs to mind - he can't sing and really, his hair covers his face and the fact he probably is a minger! Could be bottom two tonight, but he'll be saved. Jonny- I cannot get past his woman's voice Not helped by giving him a Kylie song ;D Sad thing is he's this year's joke act, but he can actually sing, I hope Louis gives him a 'normal' song next week Marcus - One of my favourites, but I don't think the song was right for him although he sang it well, there was no wow factor Rhythmix - They surprised me too Caz, I cannot be doing with rap but I thought they did incredibly well Misha - We've seen and heard it all before! I cannot warm to her at all, even though her make up was toned down considerably last night. She sang and performed well The Risk - Excellent. I think a group could win this year. Sophie - Sung well, but she's a bit boring. Kitty - She's not all there is she? She went cross eyed a couple of times ;D Thought she sang and performed brilliantly - performance of the night for me. Best 3 - The Risk, Rythmix, Kitty Bottom 3 - Frankie, NuVibe, Sami - think NuVibe will be out
