I thought if they were to have a wildcard that they would have announced this at the end of last nights show, but they said nothing. I told you I was hopeless with names. The Scottish boy I was referring to was Nicholas not Jonathan. I quite like the boy groups as well, and yes it was so obvious they were going to pick the 3 girls who THEY put together. Heard one of the girls, who stands in the middle is pregnant apparently and is due in January. She kept that quiet. I bet she wouldn't have gone through if Gary knew that while at judges houses. I was quite surprised that Nicole didn't put Melanie through, as imo she has a much stronger voice than the girl with glasses. I do think Hannah has a great voice, but she doesn't look like a pop star. As for Tamera, yes definitely Leona the second. Still cannot believe she is only 16.

Not so keen on the flash voting at the end, as it takes away the excitement from the Sunday night, and of course quite unfair for the act who came second from the bottom as they don't get the same time to prepare for the sing off as the singer with the lowest votes on the saturday. I wasn't surprised to see Shelley got the lowest votes, as she sang well enough but the public wanted Joseph there, and not her. Simples I don't think anyone was car crash tv last night, but the weakest imo were Miss Dynamix. They started off pitchy and although it got better, it lacked oomph. So would like to see them in the sing off.

I agree Caz, the flash vote is unfair. Was really surprised at the running order with Hannah on first, didn't think she was great and her styling was awful. Not surprised Shelley was bottom - who would she appeal to, she also comes across as a bit thingyy. Think the girl group will be bottom tonight, but will be saved. Favourites of the night for me were Tamera and Rough Copy. Thought Sam B sang well, but again who would buy her music? Find the whole prison warden sob story laughable, she's been performing for years and has had an album released

Yes I agree about Sam B Kim. Good voice but if she won, she would disappear without a trace. Forgot to mention Abi's performance earlier. Didn't like that much at all. Her range is very limited and it didn't work for me, but I don't think she will be in the bottom. Rough Copy and Tamera were good but I also would add Nicholas to one of the best of the night, even though he didn't even know the song or the group. ;D

Tactical voting there? Shelley will be bottom 2 until she goes, saving her gives the other acts a chance Lorna could have improved, Shelley is a shouty pub singer who looks 20 years older than she is, reckon Sharon chose her acts so shed be first judge out - money for old rope! So glad she's not back next year.

I'm sure I read that Shelley is only 34. Two years younger than me? ? Someone's had a hard paper round. I did think in the sing off that Shelley was the better singer, and Lorna does in fact have tuning issues, but I agree it's only a matter of time before Shelley goes. Very funny that Sharon had 2 of her acts in the bottom 2 on week one though. ;D Sam B sounds great singing all these ballads, but it would be interesting to hear her take on an uptempo song. She may well just be a one trick pony, so Sharon could very well be out first. Ooh we can hope. ;D I bet Joseph Whelan enjoyed watching last nights show. KARMA. ;D

Thought last nights show was poor. I'm sure Sharon is either drinking or on something, very odd Sam B - I find her so boring, competent singer but meh Kings land Road - thought they were okish, but just copying one direction, was surprised they were bottom Abi - they stitched her up with that song - Lucy Spraggan was allowed to sing her own stuff so why are they giving her songs that are not her? Nicholas - though he was one of the best, but if he wins who will buy his records? Shelley - OMG they really have turned her into the joke act Sam C - bad start, but thought he sang the second part we'll Luke - don't like him and thought he was out of tune Rough Copy - massive disappointment from last week, wrong song choice Hannah - better than last week, sang really well but I can't warm to her - she's dead behind the eyes Tamera - head and shoulders above the others, don't know if the bad press stories will affect her votes, but she is the only winner for me ATM Apparently Sese had a panic attack - think the producers will want to get rid ASAP, she's too much of a liability, shame for the other two Think Abi or Shelley will be bottom tonight, Kingsland will be saved

I am pretty much in agreement with you Kim regarding the acts last night. Sam B - Gave a strong performance and sang well, but doesn't do anything for me. Kingsland Road - I thought they gave a good performance. Very shocked to see them bottom. They didn't deserve to be imo. Nicholas - I think he has an amazing voice. Not one bum note. Fab Abbi - Oh dear. That performance was awful and sounded very amateurish. I am not getting her voice at all. Don't think she is good enough. Shelley - Cheesy and wrong song choice. She sounded ok, but definitely this years joke act, I agree Kim. Sam - I thought he sounded amazing, once he had got into it. Tamara - Gave one of the best performances of the night. Great singer but she reminds me so much of Leona. She even says "its Amazing" all the time like her. ;D Luke - Was out of key in parts but thought he sang well. Rough Copy - Definitely not as good as week one. They sounded out of tune in parts and thought when they were left with Kingsland Road that these guys would definitely have been bottom. Awful styling as well. Hannah - She sang really well but I agree she does seem dead behind the eyes. I found it very unfair that Miss Dynamix got a free pass into next week. Panic attack or no panic attack. What would happen next week if she started with pains?? Where does it end? The producers put her through knowing she was pregnant and although unfair on the other 2 girls, Rough Copy still had to perform at the judges house as a two piece when the other guy had visa issues. The worst act for me was Abbi, but if not her then I also think Shelley may be bottom. Don't want to see Kingsland Road go home.

No big surprises there then. I said if they saved Shelley it would have been obvious tactical voting going on. And good on Louis, Sharon is and always has been a disgrace, I'm just waiting for her to start laying into one of the contestants, because she will! Think Kingsland Road will be safe for a few weeks now. I laughed at your FB photo - I was sitting there dressed the same (except mine's got long sleeves) ;D

haha Got the same dress in the blue and white as well. ;D I wish I had got the long sleeved version Kim as that would have seen me through winter as well. Sharon was really getting on my nerves last night. Not professional one bit. I am glad as well that Louis did the right thing. She just makes a mockery of the whole programme expecting him to save Shelley because they are good friends. Then she changed seats at the end didn't she, so she didn't have to sit next to him. Silly woman. I wouldn't be surprised if Kingsland Road became her next target Kim what with them being saved over her act. How funny though that she has lost 2 acts in 2 weeks. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person. ;D :

Last nights show was pretty dire I thought. But here goes. Rough Copy - I didn't think it was a great night for them as there were some pitch problems at times. Okay, just not great. Sam - I enjoyed his performance and thought he sang well. Hannah - A strong performance from her I thought. She sang well. Nicholas - Thought he sang well again last night and he always hits the notes. Abi - I am glad it wasn't just me who was bored to tears by her performance last night. I agreed with Sharon. Abi's voice isn't the best. I knew she would get the sympathy vote last night with her crying, but surely her time is up soon, as she doesn't cut it. Miss Dynamix - Wasn't surprised to see these girls bottom as individually they sound quite good, but together their harmonies are all over the place. They seem to have got worse, as I thought they were quite good at judges houses. Sam Bailey - Wow best performance of the night for me. Thought she was superb. Kingsland Road - I enjoyed their performance this week. I think they harmonise really well and sounded good. Luke - I didn't like him at first, but he does seem to have got better week after week. I like the rockyness in his voice. Tamera - Wow she sounded amazing. I did agree that she does seem to copy Beyonce but there are always going to be comparisons. Her and Sam Bailey were the best of the night for me. Bottom tonight imo should be Abi. But could also be Rough Copy. Don't care who goes out of Miss Dynamix or Abi as I don't think any of them could win anyway.

Agree the show was dire. It seems to have gone back five or six years in terms of performances and songs. Much as I hate to say it I think Tulisa being there are a judge did bring it more up to date. What they are doing with Rough Copy is ridiculous - a Bryan Adams song? Really? Here's what I thought: Rough Copy - Worse performance yet, what has happened to the group that auditioned? They have lost all credibility. Sam C - Though he sang really well, he's likeable too, don't think the judges rate him much though Hannah - She's a competent singer, but I just cannot warm to her Nicholas - One of the performances of the night for me, he was note perfect. Daily Star reckon he's topping the voting, wouldn't be surprised, but if he wins think he'll just be another Leon Jackson or Joe McElderry Abi - Oh my goodness, she sounded like me when I sing to the dog - and I cannot sing (the dog likes it though ;D). Again wrong song choice, let her do what she's good at Miss Dynamix - Considering this was the song they were supposed to sing last week and they've had two weeks to practice, they were awful. They just don't gel as a group, it's like they're trying to outdo each other. Out of tune too Sam Bailey - Note perfect, but what the hell was she wearing Same as Nicholas, waste of time if she wins Kingsland Road - I like them, glad they weren't bottom this week, they do gel as a group Luke - Surprise of the night for me, sang very well, he could be the dark horse Tamera - Thought she was note perfect. Cannot believe she's 16, think she's the star this year whether she wins or not. Prediction - Abi in bottom two. Bookies have Miss Dynamix as hot favourites to go, but will the judges get rid of the group they manufactured?

Haha Kim that made me giggle. ;D Word has it Abi's dog likes her singing as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Nicholas was winning in the voting every week. He does have a great voice, but aside from that never underestimate the power of the Scottish vote. Look at Michelle Mcmanus and indeed Leon Jackson. Abi - Oh my goodness, she sounded like me when I sing to the dog - and I cannot sing (the dog likes it though ;D)
