Thanks Joyce! I still don't recognise the song but thanks for the Michael Buble fix ;D I also remember Jordin singing YNWA and I agree she was very good. Shayne's version of SOTR will take some beating, even Leona didn't come close imo.

Ok, here is my take on tonights show: Niki - Songbird - I thought she sang it very well, not very memorable though. One moment in time - Excellent performance even though she lost it at the end, I'm not really warming to her though. Leon - Didn't know the first one , forgetful. The 2nd song was ok but not great, I think thats only because I vaguely knew it Ryhdian - Bridge over troubled waters was excellent, as was You'll never walk alone. It will be a complete travesty if he does not win the show yet alone make the final!! SD - Hated the first song, the 2nd was much better and when she appeared to be crying, I had tears running down my face, until the camera zoomed in on her and there were no tears! I felt like I had been had! They will no doubt be in the final now at the expense of someone more talented

Rhydian...Fantastic Leon....Not one of his best nights..did not enjoy either performance Nikki....First song I quite like...Second song thought was a bit flat at times Same Differance..First song ok...Second song was better apart from the acting....The vt put me off straight away.. Who will go...ain't got a clue... For me there is only Ryhdian worth voting for..

Feeling rather fragile tonight after a heavy night out in London, but here's my take: Niki - Songbird. she sang it well, but it was oh so dreary One Moment in Time - doing what Niki does - power ballads, I just cannot warm to this woman, she reminds me of Maria in XF2, brilliant voice but totally up herself. She has done herself no favours whatsoever with the comment about there is nobody else in the competition doing what she is??? What, singing??? I hope she's out tonight 2/10 for me Leon - Wasn't enthused by tonight's song, he still looks very uncomfortable on stage, but I do like him and his voice is excellent. 5/10 Rhydian. Excellent, as usual, but I didn't think BOTW was his best performance - I think that was Phantom of the Opera. I will gobsmacked if he doesn't win this 9/10 SD - I know they are kitsch and they are not the best singers, but they entertain me. Even without Sarah's tears at the end they deserve to be in the final. (I'm wondering if the bullying story was told as the words of the song would have been far too creepy for a brother and sister to be singing to each other ) I can see lots of kids who like stuff like HIgh School Musical absolutely loving them. 7/10 Niki out for me this week please.

Yeah Niki is like Maria!!! I do think she has a great voice though and talent wise, she should get through above Same Difference as I can't see a market for them. They will release one novelty album and then that will be the last we will see of them, you can't see their performance on a cd either which is why they have got as far as they have. Mind you, I can't see a market for Niki either I think SD will get through on the sympathy vote though unfortunately

Ok here is my take on tonights show. Niki - Loved her singing Songbird. I thought she sang it with such emotion, and it was beautiful. Her second performance was also very good, especially the last part of the song. It will be an injustice if she doesn't make the final. Rhydian- Brilliant as usual. I especially loved him singing Bridge over Troubled Water. Hope people don't presume he is safe. He needs to make that final. I think Alicia is his youngest fan. She was glued to the tv throughout his first performance and kept smiling, bless her. Leon - The first song I didn't know. but I thought he sang it really well. The second song I wasn't so sure about. Same Difference - I liked Chain Reaction, but am getting fed up with the gimmicks. As for the second song, vocally it was great, but I cringed when she cried at the end without the tears, and then Sean too cried without the tears, when she said she wanted to thank him. Too cheesy for me, and yes Dee, I think you have been had. ;D I bet they will get the sympathy vote now, when in reality they probably would have gone tonight. It will be interesting to see the results, but Leon and SD would be bottom 2 for me. Btw Dee, you staying up for the Hatton v Mayweather fight? Too late for me. I hope Ricky can do it, but not so sure against this guy. He's very easy on the eye is Floyd as well. But come on Hatton.

I can see SD doing gigs at kids theme weeks at places like Butlins, and things like kids awards shows.....whereas Niki, I cannot see where her fanbase would come from Mind you, it really makes no odds as Rhydian has this series sewn up, but TBH I wouldn't buy any of their music, not even Rhydians ;D

Not even The Riddlers Kim!!! ;D I actually think I would Yes Caz, I will be staying up!!!! C'MON RICKY!!!! ;D ;D I'm not sure whether he will be able to do it though Paul says his heart says Ricky, his head says Mayweather. It about sums it up for me Mind you, if SD can get into the final of X Factor, anythings possible!!! ;D ;D ;D

Predictable result thanks to Sarah's "performance" As much as I didn't warm to Niki, she didn't deserve to go, either SD or Leon are very lucky because if it went on talent rather than the likeability factor they wouldn't be here. Her final performance was a bit off but I put that down to emotions.

;D Ooh you are cruel Kim. Aww I liked Niki, and her voice. I'm sad she didn't make the final, and SD did. I think that stunt Sarah pulled with the crying minus the tears was worthy of an oscar, the way it's got them into the final. By god that Scottish vote is powerful isn't it? Remember the Macdonald Bros as well? ;D I think it will be SD in third place, Leon second and Rhydian the winner. Finally, the dreary fatherless dinner lady has gone ;D I don't mind any of the finalists now, so I can enjoy next week's show ;D

Yeah I was thinking that Caz, or hoping anyway I think Leon has a great voice but needs the right songs! Anyone know the winners song this year?

Yeah the winners song Is "When You believe". I think it was Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey who sang it together, but it is a lovely song. Would have been perfect for Niki's voice as well, as it's a big ballad. Yeah I was thinking that Caz, or hoping anyway I think Leon has a great voice but needs the right songs!

Oh great, never heard of it! not good for Rhydian then We wouldn't want Rhydian outselling Leona now would we? I wish they would have released a Christmas song for once. White Christmas would've been perfect for Ryhdian
