I actually prefer Back for Good and think it will suit JLS better than Rule the World. I don't think it really matters what Rachel sings on Saturday, she going to be in the bottom two - I just hope the judges don't save her again

I would have liked to hear the lads to sing A Million Love Songs, Aston on lead vocals and the others harmonising...Think it would have been good..Should do good no matter what they sing this week. ;D ;D

Looks like you've got your wish Joyce, JLS have changed their song Alexandra Burke Relight My Fire Rachel Hylton Rule The World JLS A Million Love Songs Ruth Lorenzo Love Ain't Here Anymore Eoghan Quigg Never Forget Relight my Fire seems an odd choice for Alexandra Diana Vickers Patience

At last she's gone ;D Here's what I thought about tonight's performances Alexandra: Good performance, singing suffered, still one of the best tonight though. Ruth: Not really a fan of Ruth, but she was superb tonight. JLS: Disappointing. Louis is trying to make them into Westlife Not surprised they were in the bottom two. Rachel: Awful, she looked and sounded as if she'd just turned up. Diana: I understand Diana is 'different', but tonight's performance was awful Eoghan: Thought he sang it well, but I cannot see any 'X Factor' him Cannot understand why the judges praise performances (i.e. Diana, Eoghan and Rachel) when they were not good. No doubt next week they will concede they were not good I expected Rachel and JLS to be in the bottom two and I expected Rachel to go, but I was still on the edge of my seat waiting for Simon's decision Louis really needs to let JLS sing in the style they are good at, they are not Westlife clones

Ok, here's my take: Alexandra - Just ok for me, her voice sounds a bit raspy as though she's really struggling. 6/10 Ruth - I loved how she put a rock twist on one of Take Thats not so great songs.8/10 Rachel - Sang it ok for her, I think most of it was actually in tune. 7/10 JLS - Started a little dodgy but finished well 8/10 Diana Vickers - Much better than last week, still a few dodgy notes and tbh the "different" voice is starting to irritate me. 7/10 Eoghan - Probably the best I have heard him btu I don't believe he hit those high notes, the camera wan't on him during any of them. 8/10 I was a little surprised to see JLS in the bottom 2, not surprised at Rachel though. I did think she sang well but I think JLS deserved to stay in over her, I liked their little medley

God what a mess tonight's show was, I thought the backing completely spoilt the songs it was far too loud. The only vocals you could hear was JLS and Ruth's. The bottom two for me would have been Diana and Rachel. The sing off judged by the performance Rachel was by far the best, but saying that I am pleased Rachel has gone as JLS have been the better over the live shows. Louis is spoiling JLS chances of winning, he is like a spoilt kid and these lads could well suffer for it. Oh my god ear plugs ready for next week Britney Spears has she any good songs? ? It is a bit of an joke asking the remaining 5 acts to sing her songs when (imo) they are all better singers than the artist they are covering End of rant!!

Hi guys. Here's my take on the acts. Alexandra - Her voice sounded strained at times, but nevertheless a great performance. She is starting to annoy me a bit now with all her ass licking. "Ooh I love you too Cheryl" Ruth - A very good performance from her. JLS - I loved their performance and especially Aston. They are just fantastic. I don't think they should have been bottom two, but wasn't surprised, as I think people just assumed that because they are a four piece, they would do better than the others and so people transferred their votes elsewhere. Their last performance of Beautiful girl was amazing. I would definitely buy that. Rachel - I don't think she did Rule the world justice. It was just ok for me. Her last performance on the other hand was fantastic. But as Louis said she doesn't have the likeability factor. Diana - Her voice is really starting to grate on me now. Just ok for me. Eoghan - A good perormance from him. Although the backing track was louder than his singing. Probably deliberate. ;D The bottom two for me should have been Diana and Rachel. But very glad Rachel was the one to go home. My nerves were shattered when the judges were making their decision at the end of who to send home.

Tonight's songs - not confirmed and subject to change!! ‘I Love Rock And Roll’ and ‘Heaven,’ Alex will take on ‘Toxic’ and ‘Crazy In Love,’ JLS have bagged ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ and ‘No Air,’ Diana will sing ‘I’m Not A Girl’ and ‘Just Like A Pill’ and finally Eogahn has ‘Sometimes’ and ‘Breaking Free.’

Great song choices for Ruth, I knew Diana would be singing I'm not a girl, it was so obvious, I love just like a pill so I hope she does it justice. Tough choices for Alexandra and JLS. Eoghan singing breaking free is a little cheesy, sometimes is gonna be tough. I feel sorry for the contestants having to sing Britney songs, its a good job they have the 2nd songs to fall back on

Confirmed choices Alexandra - Toxic by Britney - Listen by Beyonce Diana - I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman by Britney - Everybody Hurts by REM Eoghan - Sometimes by Britney - Together by High School Musical Ruth - I Love Rock and Roll by Britney - Always by Bon Jovi JLS - Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney - You Light Up My Life by Whitney Houston JLS don't stand a chance in hell with these stupid choices, Louis needs sacking

Gutted for JLS. Hit me baby one more time is totally not up their street. Also I loved their version of No air. Why have they changed it to a Whitney Houston song? Hope to god they can pull it off and people vote. I'm worried for them already. Everyone else seems to have been given great song choices. I don't know what Louis is thinking. But have you noticed how he says to everyone "I hope you make the final" How many blo*dy people does he think can be in it? I think he cares more about Eoghan because he is Irish than he does about JLS.

Didn't Louis give G4 "Hit me Baby" ??, And the Witney song was covered by West Life, he is so predictable.

Tonight's show - judged in an alcoholic haze - we hit the Moet - my eldest daughter announced she's getting married just before XF started -she does pick her moments!! Ruth - Both songs, excellent performances, both suited her voice and style JLS - Loved their version of hit me baby one more time, couldn't understand the judges comments Enjoyed the second song, but no zing to it, why is Louis not giving them something more up to date? I think they could be in trouble tonight Alexandra - wasn't sold on the first song - but the second WOW!!!! I'm not familiar with the song, but that definitely was the performance of the series, Leona needs to watch out ;D Hers was the first performance of this series that gave me goosebumps Eoghan - bleugh to the first and an even bigger bleugh to the second. He's perfect for musical theatre, but not winner of the XF Diana - all right, the jokes gone too far now, she needs to go, even though the musical hands have gone She is not in the same league as Ruth and Alex. My prediction for bottom two based on fan bases - JLS and Ruth, JLS will be out On personal preferences - Diana and Eggnog - Diana to go.

Alexandra best of the night, So pleased JLS are still in Diana was poor tonight as was Eoghan Ruth was to shouty for me not sad to see her go. The most honest comment of the night James Corden on xtra factor Britney coming all this way to mime?? dont need to watch that. I've got the CD! These people are criticised for their vocal performances, Britney comes along, mimes half-arsedly, then pisses off to the Heaven club. Holly's face was a picture. Congrats Kim on the forth comming wedding
