Eoghan will probably win because he's got the Irish vote, I do agree he can sing but not brilliantly.
I agree with you about Diane though, she gets on my nerves now but I liked her at the start :lol: She just can't do variety.
I doubt I'll be watching after this week because I don't really like anyone else in the competition, I'll probably tune in for the final though just to see who's won.
Dannii Minogue has insisted that she is proud of her performance as a mentor on The X Factor this year.
The Aussie popstar guided Leon Jackson and Rhydian Roberts to the top two spots on last year's series, but she became the first judge to lose all three of her acts as Ruth Lorenzo was eliminated last night.
Speaking afterwards on The Xtra Factor, Minogue revealed that keeping the Over 25s category intact until week six of the competition had been a record for the show.
She explained: "It wasn't a bad run. It's the longest the Over 25s have stayed in the competition."
Minogue was also backed by her co-stars Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell, who praised her for helping Lorenzo to exceed expectations on the programme.
Walsh told show host Holly Willoughby: "Don't give her a hard time. She worked so hard with Ruth."
Cowell added: "I've got to say, I think Dannii did a great job with Ruth and vice versa. I wasn't expecting her to stay this long at the beginning. But she proved that she's a really, really great singer [and] a great performer. We're going to miss her, really."
Minogue lost Daniel Evans in week six of the competition and saw Rachel Hylton being sent home last weekend.
I do like him, but I think maybe he should be the next to leaveQuote:

I do think he will make the final though and possibly win because he has that 'cute factor' that most of my friends and family go on about.
I hope Eoghan gets voted off next week, I agree with the others who think he is not a brilliant singer. He will get a recording contract anyway, I am sure all the finalists do. I think it will be between Alexandra and Diana in the end.
Yeah those and JLS in the final :cheer: And if thats the case it will be the first final where I love everyone :pQuote:

The Spanish singer was voted off last night after picking up the lowest number of viewer votes in the latest live round.
Speaking on The Xtra Factor, Burke described Lorenzo as her "best friend" and admitted that she was devastated to see her leaving.
Discussing their friendship later, Lorenzo confirmed: "I'm moving in with this one. She's going to win, even though I love you all."
She then joked: "And I'm not going to pay rent!"
Lorenzo also insisted that there was "no way" she had been eliminated from the ITV1 talent show before her time.
Her mentor Dannii Minogue added: "Since the first show, every show she came and said to me: 'I'm going tonight'. It just shows how humble she is about her talent. It's been a big challenge to come to the country and do the competition."
Burke, Eoghan Quigg, Diana Vickers and boyband JLS will now compete in the show's semi-final next weekend.
Louis Walsh reportedly believes that his job on The X Factor is under threat.
The 56-year-old is said to fear that his row with Dannii Minogue last week could result in his dismissal at the end of the series.
"He wouldn't be surprised if Dannii stays and he goes. He's sure it's got to be one of them," a source told The Mirror.
"Louis is worried about next year. He denies he bullied Dannii, but admits they'll never be able to get on."
The insider added: "He knows that Simon [Cowell] and Cheryl [Cole] are the only two whose seats on the panel are assured. He is well aware the rest are indispensable."
Walsh's final act JLS made it through to the semi-final on last night's show, while Minogue's last singer Ruth Lorenzo was voted off by the public.
Noooo, he can't go, he must stay. I like him
Ireland cant vote this yearQuote:

X Factor bosses are said to be furious after a pregnancy testing kit was discovered in the house the female contestants share.
A researcher reportedly found the test, which could belong to a singer on the show or a crew member, in a communal room at the Hampstead mansion.
"Bosses went mad when told about the find because they have a duty of care towards the contestants and staff during their stay because of their relatively young ages," an X Factor insider told The People.
Simon Cowell was immediately informed of the find and the unnamed owner has since been discovered.
"After an investigation was launched the female who owned the kit sheepishly came forward and admitted it was hers," said the source.
"The words 'pregnancy' and 'X Factor' just don't sit well together. It's meant to be a family show and bosses will go to any length to protect that image."
