Hi guys. Aww yeah I loved tea and toast as well. Lucy doesn't have the strongest voice, but great at writing her own material. Here's my take on last nights acts Jahmene - I thought he sang really well. I think he has a great tone to his voice and enjoyed his performance. Chris - Good voice but he is not a popstar. Definitely should have stayed on the cruise ships, and so dated. Union J - Great performance from them. Loved it, but George really reminds me of Harry from 1 Direction and as good as these lads are, they will always be compared to 1 Direction I think as they are so similar. Ella - Bit of an old fashioned song for such a young girl, but I thought she hit all the notes, and does have a great voice. James Arthur - Felt every word of that performance. Really heart felt stuff. Fab. Loved it. Lucy Spraggan - Much better than the previous week. Really enjoyed her performance. District 3 - Last note was a duff one, but I enjoyed their performance and Tulisa is right, they harmonise so well. Jade - Much better performance than last week. Song definitely suited her voice and vocals were good. Mk1 - Didn't enjoy this performance, but yet last week loved them. Bad song choice, and should stick to what they are good at. Louis will have them singing Grandma we love you, if still here next week. Kye - Not enough Oomph from him this week I thought. Great voice but something missing, and hate the guyliner. Rylan - Funny comparison to Jordan, although now you have said that I can see it. ;D Also reminds me of Freddie Mercury a bit. I quite enjoyed his performance too. Very entertaining. Melanie - Great voice. What a set of lungs she has. I do agree about her being shouty at times though. Bottom 2 - Think it will be Mk1 and Chris Best for me - James Arthur

I'm shocked that Melanie and District 3 were in the bottom 2 but not surprised tbh. Gary had better start being less grumpy or he's gonna lose all his acts ;D I definately think he's gonna be th efirst judge out anyway

I was shocked in the fact that Melanie was the last to perform on Saturday night, so should have been the most safe, as never before has an act been on last and gone because of having the lowest votes. I am pleased District 3 were safe though as I do really like them. I don't think Chris will be around for much longer, but I think Kye could have a shot at getting to the final providing he is given the right songs. My favs at the moment are Union J, Ella , Jahmene and James Arthur.

This new system of opening the phone lines at the beginning of the show is definitely having an effect. Curse of the first and the pimp spot don't seem to matter any more - I'm in favour of it, makes it harder for the producers to fiddle with the results ;D I wasn't surprised at the bottom two, wasn't bothered who went, but was glad it was Melanie. Who would buy her records if she had won? She was too old fashioned. Unfortunately Caz I can see Chris being there until nearly the end. Remember Tesco Mary? I should imagine they both appeal to the same people and they've already voted him in once I can see him being Gary's only act left as I don't reckon Kye is going to last much longer. Can't say I've got a favourite this year, it's more who I don't like

Oh yes, I forgot about the lines now opening right at the beginning of the show. Yes that has obviously made a big difference to the voting then. As if they don't make enough money from the programme anyway I know the x factor has always been about much more than just the voice- personalities/likeability/looks etc, but I think this way with the new voting system, you could have the best voice in the competition, but if you don't have a big fan base you're gone. Now I am presuming Chris's fans would be from the granny vote. But would they be inclined to vote at the beginning of the show or after his performance, should they like it? Thinking maybe the latter. So hoping your theory is wrong Kim and he's not around too long. ;D (and I quite liked Mary ;D )

Just read that Chris is topping the votes every week Usually knowing this has come from the Daily Star I'd say it was rubbish, but they have been spot on before with voting leaks Dee - my daughter is a reporter and she interviewed Lucy today, not spoken to her so I don't know what she was like. More Lucy (and Rylan) gossip - they've both been removed from the XF hotel for a few days because of their behaviour ;D Bad Lucy and Rylan!!

Why do some Scousers feel they have to vote for someone just because they are all from the same place?. The Irish (conway Sisters, Jedward) and Scots (Leon Jackson) are the same. No loyalty in Manchester ;D. Didn't like Misha B, never voted for her. Although did love Shayne Ward, but difference is he did have the x factor.

Here's my take on last nights acts Chris - Quite a good performance from him I thought. Not a big fan of his, but I thought Tulisa was out of order with her comments. There isn't a week that goes by without one of the judges saying he is cheesy. I am starting to feel a bit sorry for him. Mk1 - I thought they gave a good performance, and their best to date, I thought. Think Tulisa had woken up on the wrong side of the bed, yesterday. Jahmene - Best vocals in the competition. I just love his voice. He is amazing, and what a horrible childhood he and his family have had to endure thanks to that evil monster of a father of his. Jade - Just ok for me. Her voice sounded very strained, and I know her throat was bad, so this would explain it, but she seemed to struggle I thought. James Arthur - Wow what a performance. Loved his take on Sexy and I know it. Fab performance Union J - Love these guys. They sounded amazing last night, and the harmonies were spot on. Rylan - Oh dear. His voice sounded worse than ever, but that may have been due to the singing and dancing at the same time. He looks much better without the beard and still entertains me, so not all bad. Lucy - A good performance I thought, not great, but liked her take on the song. Kye - Song suited his voice down to a tee. He is back to his best. Loved it. District 3 - Really glad these lads are back in the race as that was their best performance to date, and loved their harmonies as well. Ella - Another strong performance from her I thought. There were a few acts I really enjoyed like Jahmene, James Arthur, Union J, kye and District 3 Bottom 2 I think may be MK1 and Jade/Rylan, although don't think Mk1 deserve to be in the bottom. Just going on how I think it may go.

Very shocked to see Kye in the bottom 2 as I thought he gave a really strong performance last night, and was one of the best. Not surprised at MK1 being there, because their fans are less likely to vote in their droves, although as said before, I thought they did well last night.
