I have only just watched this as I have been out tonight, Here are my views, Rachel - Terrible, she looked terrible and sounded terrible. Austin - Not a great upbeat song but I thought the vocals were good Alexandra - Excellent, really enjoyed it Daniel - I'm soooo bored with this guy, its not even funny anymore. Eoghan - Hated it, his voice is very weak and he was out of tune in places, I just cannot warm to him. Ruth - I'm liking Ruth more and more each week Laura - Really good, I'm glad she didn't sing with that stupid jazzy Belinda voice! Diana - Fabulous, that was the best song choice yet! JLS - Very good, I'm glad the little guy took the lead too, it should be like that from now on. I was shocked that Austin was in the bottom 2, Rachel I understood, although there are worse singers , I just don't like her. I preferred Austin's song but wasn't surprised that they saved rachel Hopefully she'll be out next week, mind you, I can't believe Daniel escaped the bottom 2, who the hell is voting for this guy???

Hi guys. Here's my take on the acts last night. Rachel - She forgot her lines yet again, like she kept doing at bootcamp, and didn't look comfortable at all singing that song. Not good. Austin - Not his best performance but he has an amazing voice and shouldn't have gone last night. Cannot believe Louis saved Rachel over him. Well actually I can. First of all, everyone seems scared of Rachel, and secondy I think Louis just got rid of him to annoy Simon, as usual. Diana - Another great performance. She sang really well. Daniel - He doesn't have the best voice, but he's not as bad as the judges make him out to be. Imo of course. Laura - Much better this week. She really belts the song out. But I kind of thought she was on fast forward at times as she wasn't finishing some of the lines she was singing. Eoghan - Cheesy, and annoying. Ruth - Good vocally, but I still can't warm to her. Alexandra - Very good performance. Loved it. JLS - What can I say. Best of the night for me. Aston's voice is amazing. They are just so good. Next week will be tough for the guys singing Mariah Carey songs. The girls will shine, but how can they possibly think the guys will do well with her songs. The week after they should do a boys 2 men theme just to even things up a little. I actually thought Austin would have made the final, so I think it's a dead cert that a female will win this year the way things are going.

Just finished watching last night's show. I went out as well last night and definitely was not in a good state to watch XF when we got home Rachel - I cannot understand why the judges rave about her, she shouts, her stage presence comes over as intimidating, her styling is awful. I don't know one person that likes her. Austin - Competent performance, but he has nil charisma. Daniel - I thought he sang well and his performance was good, but he is still way out of his league. Eoghan - Don't like him, don't find him cute either. Like Daniel he is out of his league. Ruth - Sang very well again, but she isn't unique enough. Laura - Much preferred her performance this week. Not one of my favourites, but I can see her being in the final. Diana - Superb, she looked and sounded fantastic, the catch in the back of her throat disappeared this week too! JLS - Excellent - so glad they put the little one on lead vocals and hope he stays there. Alexandra - Everything about her performance was excellent. She looked and sounded like a seasoned performer. Nor surprised with the bottom two - curse of the first kicking in again. Disappointed, but not surprised Rachel was saved. Her attitude on Xtra Factor when being interviewed by Holly stank, when she said she just wanted to go home to her 'real friends'

No way did Austin deserve to be the bottom 2, In the sing off all Rachel needed was a pair of boxing gloves she looked like a heavy weight boxer stomping around.. Next week Mariah Carey, David Cook on AI sang Mariah's Always be my baby and was one of his best weeks, I think Austin could have pulled this off, but god help the lads next week..

I watched the xtra factor as well Kim and it looked like Rachel had an axe to grind didn't it? I wonder if the real friends comment had something to do with the expressions on the others faces when Austin left. She came across as very ungrateful and quite bitter. I bet she's a joy to live with. ;D

Rumours and tonight's song spoilers Rumours flying around that Diana is not performing tonight as she has laryngitis, she gets a free pass to next week. Tonight's songs are: Alexandra Burke Without You Daniel Evans Open Arms JLS One Sweet Day Rachel Hylton Against All Odds Ruth Lorenzo My All Eoghan Quigg Anytime You Need A Friend Diana Vickers Always Be My Baby Laura White Endless Love This is from the ITV site and they are listing Diana as performing tonight. I'm out again so I'll have to tape it. Not that keen on Mariah Carey, so I'm not too bothered about missing it - I'll fast forward her part tomorrow ;D I'll have my fingers crossed for Rachel getting the boot, but think it could be Daniel (finally) or Ruth.

I think its terrible if she gets a free pass tbh, nobody has ever done before, they have had to perform or pull out. I thought Daniel would be signing against all odss I don't think I've ever heard of his, in fact looking at them, there are a few that don't look familiar.

TBH Dee, I don't think it makes much difference. It's highly unlikely she would be in the bottom two, she's been bookies favourite to win since week 1. It happened in the first series of Pop Idol with Rik Waller, he didn't sing the first week, then pulled out the second and was replaced by Darius.

Yerah I agree, she probably wouldn't have been but I still think its unfair on the other contestants. Ok, here's my take: Owen (can't spell his real name) - Ok, still don't reckon much to him. Ruth - Didn't know the song, I still like her. Rachel - OMG what excuse is she gonna use next, that was terrible!! Crocodile tears too. Diana - Crap, couldn't hear her Laura - Good, , she had a tough job playing piano too, don't agree with Simon though about it being her weakest performance. Daniel - Ok, still out of his league though JLS - Good, I like these guys Alexandra - Good performance, don't think it was her best though. Bottom 2 - Owen/Rachel/Daniel - Daniel to go, altough I wouldn't miss the other 2 either.

Wow, that was a shocker!!! Neither of those deserved to be in the bottom 2. We are losing good singers at the expense of Owen, Daniel and Rachel. I was glad Ruth was saved, she was awesome, she is a little rocker at heart and fights to stay in the competition. Laura is good but what the hell does "chum day, i'll wish upon a star" mean?? I hate it when she sings like that and tbh although her performance was good I wasn't blown away.

I cant believe it either...Rachel should have gone this week she was easily the worst singer last night. Louis Walsh sould have taken it to deadlock, two very good but different singers, the public should have decided, as they are the ones that put them there!!
Maybe there should have been no elimination's this week, As you all know I really like Diana and would love her to win, but to make it fair maybe it could have been a double elimination next week

Poor Louis always goes last in deciding but I'm sure he doesn't make the decision on his own, I have a feeling it is decided what they are gonna do before the acts have even performed.
