Totally agree with your comments Joyce. Couldn't have summed it up better myself. Ruth - First song her lower range didn't sound so good, but got better when the song kicked in. Her second song was good, but shouty and the tears annoyed me. JLS - Enjoyed their first performance. They sounded good. Simon and Cheryl were out of order. What more could they do with that song? Second song was fantastic. Perfect harmonies. So happy they got through. Alexandra - Backing singers were louder than her in the first song, but second song was superb, even though I had never heard it. She just annoys me a bit now though as she ass licks so much and what with the tears, again. Eoghan - Well what can I say. First song you couldn't hear his vocals because of the backing dancers and the same the second time round. Dire.They were louder than him both times. Diana - Oh my god. The first song was terrible. She sounded slightly better the second time. In my opinion she is getting worse. Bottom two would have been Eoghan and Diana, but I suppose Ruth had to go sooner or later and she was never a favourite of mine, and so pleased JLS have made it through to the semi finals.

Just watched it, hubby was out so he wanted to tape it it and watch it later. My son spoilt it by telling me who went!! Ok, my view: Ruth (why was she one of the first again???) Didn't perticularly enjoy the first song, good when she got to the chorus but like Caz said, lower register was a bit naff, 2nd song was brilliant. JLS - Thought they did a great version of HMBOMT, didn't understand the judges, wasn't overkeen on the 2nd choice though. Alexandra- Toxic wasn't bad but wasn't great either, The 2nd song I FF because I didn't know it Eoghan - !st song , bad! 2nd song, bad! Why is he still here?? Diana - ok, I liked her initially but she is just getting worse now, I don't like her singing voice, its so fake, and she barely sings in tune. Didn't like any of her songs tonight. I would've said Eoghan and Diana in bottom 2 but the GBP were obviously p*ssed tonight and decided to get rid of Ruth. I hope she does well outside of X Factor, I really don't know who I want to win tbh, but i'd rather it wasn't Diana(the chosen one) or Eoghan.

My take on tonight's performances: Eoghan: Never been a fan, but I thought he did well on both songs tonight, although Abba was a strange choice for a 16 year old boy Diana: I didn't enjoy either performance, she's got worse instead of better, if there's any justice she'll go tonight. Alex: Wow, her first performance was superb, the second blew me away Surely she's going to win this? ? JLS: I was disappointed by the first song, but they deserve to go through to the final on the second. Hope Diana is out Predict Diana out.

For me I would rather of seen Eougan go out tonight, even though vocally he was better than Diana, just can't see him as a winner of xfactor. Diana, I would have liked to see what she brought to the final and decide then as I have liked her in earlier performances. Alex, she looks ready to go out there now and make her mark, but do we need another Leona. JLS, These are my favs to win and I really hope they do it. That prob is the kiss of death

Sorry, only just able to post, had friends round tonight and didn't want to appear anti social Eoughan - 1st song was good, 2nd song was ok, just don't like him and still don't think he should've made the live shows even though he has gotten better. Diana - 1st song, pretty good, second song was naff. I think she's better singing up tempo songs as she doesn't have chance to put on the fake voice and she doesn't have as many bum notes. Alexandra - 1st song was good, 2nd song was very good, I wasn't impressed by the crying though, it looked forced. JLS - 1st song, fantastic!! 2nd song, good but not as good as the 1st, I just didn't really like the song choice. JLS were the best tonight for me, closely followed by Alexandra. Simon was right when he said if it were judges on talent they would make the final. When Eoghan and Diana were in the bottom 2 I didn't care who went although I was kind of hoping it was Diana just because she seemed the judges obvious favourite. It was kind of surreal the way Eoghan ran on stage and a little sad, he looks like he's fallen for her in a big way

Okay here is my take on the acts.
Eoghan - Thought he sounded very good on the first song, and ok on the second. At least I could hear his vocals this time.
Diana - First song very good, but second was disappointing as the annoying sound in her voice was back.
Alexandra - Very good singing both songs, but she does annoy me with the tears as you said Dee.
JLS - Just love these guys, and thought both performances were fantastic. Love the second song more though, and of course it's a Westlife track so obviously it gets my vote. Maybe that's why you didn't like it so much Dee. ;D
Best of the night were JLS and Alex. Quite pleased Diana is out, and even more pleased JLS are in the final.

Here are the acts that are singing with the finalists. Alex is singing with Beyonce, Eoghan is singing with Boyzone and JLS were supposed to be singing with Rhianna, but she's pulled out, so they've got Westlife - how on earth is that going to work with that number of performers on the stage, no doubt with a gospel choir as well???

Who does everyone want to win? Who should Win - Alex Who I hope will Win - JLS Alex will get a contract regardless, so will Eoghan with him being Simons act, I think JLS need the win more than the others. Some satistics Each time we have had a final of 3, it has been Simon's act to LEAVE first. 1st year 2 finalists Steve, G4 2nd year 3 finalists Shayne, Andy, Journey South 3rd Year 2 Finalists Leona, Ray Last Year 3 Finalists Leon, Rid, SD

I agree with what you've said Joyce. I think Alex has the most talent but I just can't seem to warm to her, whereas JLS are more likeable, to me anyway. Alex should win but I hope JLS do, as like you say, they need it more. I had forgotten about Eoghan, he shouldn't be there anyway and I hope he is the first to go. I won't be in tonight as its my works Christmas Do, but i'll be taping it and will watch it later:0)

JLS singing with Westlife? Well great news for me as I love them, but I agree, how this is going to work should be interesting. I think Alex will win, but obviously JLS have been my favourites all along and deserve to be the first group to win, so I wil be routing for them. Enjoy your night out Dee.

Was rooting for JLS with Alex a close second, but after Alex's performances tonight it will be a travesty if she doesn't win. Here's what I thought of the performances: First song: Eoghan - Awful, he was flat in so many places, utter cheese 2/10 JLS - Loved it, but Aston is definitely the star of the group - aaawwww 9/10 Alex - superb vocal, but too Leona like and I didn't like the warbling 7/10 Second song: Eoghan - an improvement on the first, but he is totally outclassed tonight 4/10 JLS - Very good, enjoyed the performance, but the stage looked a little crowded 8/10 Alex - I was expecting Beyonce to show Alex up, but she was superb (apart from the crying : 10/10 Third song: Eoghan - More cheese, totally so what?? He's completely out of his depth. 3/10 JLS - Loved it the first time they sang and loved it tonight - 9/10 Alex - superb 9/10 Fingers crossed Eoghan is out first or I will not be happy

Just a quickie. If there is any justice JLS and Alex should get through. Beyonce done all the singing with a little help from Alex. I thought JLS and West Life worked well. Song of the night for me was All Ready There. JLS to WIN

So pleased Eoghan has gone and my two favourites of the series are the finalists ;D I don't mind who wins now, but I'm probably edging towards JLS, I prefer their version of the winner's song, although Alex's version was superb.
