PMSL, you know there might be some truth in what he says Caz!! Now I come to think of it, there are a lot of black men that do look good for their age, Denzel Washington is one..mmmm ;D

I can't believe Simon got rid of Ghost in favour of the two manufactured groups and that cringeworthy brother and sister group! The show just gets worse and worse. I'm glad Danni didn't pick Luke to go through, his constant crying really got on my nerves. I don't really like Rhyd but I was glad he got through His voice is good and his confidence bordering on arrogance is quite refreshing ;D I was shocked Louis didn't put the guy with the cap through, I thought he was really good I'm also shocked at Sharon putting Emily through instead of Steph, her reasoning was laughable. Steph you are consistent, you are out. Emily, you've never been as good as your 1st audition, your in!! Stupid woman!! I thought Louis had the worse group before, now I'm not so sure. I think Simon may struggle and I will love to watch that!!! ;D Still haven't got a favourite but there are many that I don't like.

Peed off Ghost didn't go through - it is so obvious one of the manufactured bands are going to win it Same difference as plain creepy - surely one of them should be blind I don't know all the names yet, but I quite like that single dad, nobody else really sticks out. No Caz??? That's promising ;D

Song choices for 20th October: Boys: Andy : I don't want to talk about it Leon : Can't Buy Me Love Rhydian : I'd Do Anything for love (but I won't do that) Girls : Kimberley : It's Raining Men Alisha : Dreams Emily : I Knew You Were Waiting for me Over 25's : Beverley : I Will Survive Daniel : Heaven Niki : Nothing Compares 2 U Groups: Futureproof : She's the One Hope : Umbrella Same Difference : Tragedy Good grief - have they hired a karaoke machine for the night?? They are all cliched karaoke classics Don't forget XF is on early because of the rugby. Leona is guesting tomorrow and Celine Dionne the week after.

Ok here is my take on tonights show. Kimberley - Not very good at all. I had no idea what she was even singing when she was lying on the piano, and she now looks like Kelly Osbourne. Andy - I do like him, there's something about him. He has a really nice voice and he gave a good performance. Futureproof - They sounded quite good. There are a couple of them who have much better voices than the others though. I think the lad who looks a bit like Will Young doesn't have the best voice, but I thought their performance overall was ok. Beverley - I thought she gave a good performance. I think she will be compared to Brenda soon enough, as they sound quite similar. Emily - Didn't think she was good tonight at all. But saying that I have only thought that one of her performances was very good and that was her first at the audition stage. She seemed to get worse every time I heard her after that. She needs to sing a ballad I think. Leon - Danni well and truly stitched him up tonight. That song was all over the place. It was the wrong song, and like the judges said, the wrong arrangement. It is a shame as he does have a good voice as well. I think he will be safe though. Scotland will get behind him. Same Difference - What can I say, cheese cheese and more cheese. But they didn't actually sound that bad. It's just their facial expressions that are just so OTT, and Ghostt should have got through instead of them anyway. I agree with Louis, these two could never win as they are just too much and get quite annoying. Niki - She sounded amazing. I think she did really really well. Alisha - She struggled with that song I thought. Rhydian - I thought he was excellent. I think he has had a hard time as well from Sharon, and it was nice to see a softer side to him tonight as well. Daniel - It was ok, but I think he struggled a bit with this song. Like the judges said it is a song more suited for a rocker and he doesn't have that gravel to his voice to make it work. Hope - They sounded ok actually. Better than I thought they would. Can't stick that Racquel though. I love me who do you love. Bottom two I think will be Kimberley and Alisha. I did think Emily was worse than Alisha but I don't think she will be bottom two.

More or less agree with you Caz, although I didn't mind Kimberley (I said exactly the same thing about Kelly Osbourne ). Same Difference were better than I thought they would be, but why do I feel the urge to slap them very hard Rhydian was good, but very odd. Don't like either of the groups - far too contrived. Disappointed with Emily, Alisha, Leon, Andy and Daniel. The star for me tonight was Niki, she was superb.

Hi guys, sorry I haven't been on, I was out at the weekend so I missed the X Factor and have just watched it today. So for what its worth, here's my take: Kimberley: I thought the exact same thing joyce! She looked like a drag queen, the stylists get worse every year!!! The song was so wrong for her and she didn't do it justice Andy: He was ok but I couldn't help but stare at his eyebrows going up and down!! ;D Futureproof: I actually thought they were very good But strengthens my view that they were supposed to be a group all along. Beverley: She was ok, average though. Emily: She had loads more confidence than I thought she would have but her vocals were still poor. Leon: Some bits of the song were a bit crazy but I actually liked it! I also think he's got one of the best voices in the competition but didn't really rate him at bootcamp. For Simon to say he took up someone else's place is rich from someone who put same difference through! It was below the belt too Same Difference: OMG, I hated every minute of it and cringed the whole way through. I agreed with Louis about his argument with Simon over them and The McDonald Brothers. Niki: Brilliant! The best of the night for me. Sang with so much emotion, Leona needs to take some tips from her! The only thing that annoys me is the story about her dad, it was ok the first time but I'm sick of hearing about it every week now. Alisha - Poor! I think she's gonna be another Ashley but she is more likeable. I always sing that song at Karaoke because it doesn't take much vocal range to sing it and is one of the easier ones! ;D I thought she sounded rubbish. She has the look but I don't know if she has the vocal talent. Rhydian: I couldn't really get on with Rhydian during the auditions/bootcamp but I thought he was fantastic, it was the perfect song for him! He came across as really nice too, even when the old hag had her two pennies worth! I'm glad he stayed. Daniel: It was ok but his voice is a bit breathy for me. Hope: I was disappointed that they were singing Umbrella again They were ok but I still don't rate them that much. Worst: Emily/Kimberley/Alisha , surprise, surprise, all Sharons! ;D I actually thought Kimberley deserved to stay though. I thought she had the better voice during the auditions and bootcamp and for Simon to say it was a singing competition, he should've chosen Kimberley to stay Emily will get the sympathy vote because she's only 15 Sharon was her usual self, throwing her toys out of the pram

Hi guys. Here's my take on tonights show. Hope - How many times has this song been done? For Simon to say they were the best group ever on the X factor is laughable. They were ok at best. Leon - I love this song. I thought he sang this really well, and I thought Louis and Simon were particularly harsh on him again, which was uncalled for. Yes he looked nervous, but his vocals were spot on. Beverley - She was excellent. The song was perfect for her voice. Aleisha - It was just ok for me. She didn't put enough into it for my liking, and she comes across as slightly annoying as well. Same Difference - I thought their performance was good considering how cheesy they are. Couldn't believe she was skipping off the stage though. That is just wrong. ;D Daniel - Couldn't get over the song choice, and it just didn't work. It made him look cheesy and the dancing looked wrong. I don't know what Louis is doing to him. He sounded really warbley as well. Rhydian - Excellent performance. He looks so professional and polished like he has been doing it for years. Emily - One word, flat. She sounded better than last week, but it wasn't good for most parts. Futureproof - They sounded really good this week. They harmonise so well, and their voices sounded really great. Much better than last week. Andy - I thought he did well with this song. It isn't the best of songs but he sounded good, and he looks great. Niki - Excellent yet again. She has an amazing voice. Don't know who will be bottom two as for me Hope, Emily, Aleisha and Daniel were not great.

I really don't know why I watch this show, it makes mw so angry Hope - ok, average, definately NOT the best group ever to perform on the X Factor Leon - really good, Simon & Louis have definately got it in for him Beverley - Good vocals but she doesn't really do anything for me. Alisha - Terrible, I now don't believe she can sing, she has the look but thats it! Same Difference - Sang well but I still think they are cheesy, they would be more suited to kids tv presenting. Daniel - Terrible song choice and he didn't sing it well either. Rhydian - Another fantastic performance, he is really growing on me Emily - Terrible, she is definately getting the sympathy vote. Futureproof - They sang really well, much better than the girls. Andy - I thought he sang well, he did his best with a terrible song choice. Nikki - Really good, almost note perfect. I knew Simon wouldn't let it go to the public vote He wouldn't want to leave Sharon with only one, he can't risk anymore of her strops I'm not bothered that Daniel has gone but he didn't deserve to, Alisha is on borrowed time anyway.
