IMO the best performances were from Jahmene and Ella. The two acts who should be in the sing-off tonight in my opinion, should be Christopher and Rylan. I have to admit, I have gone off Rylan now, it is not purely entertainment value now, he just can't sing as well as the others. :(
I don't even find Rylan entertaining :nono:
District 3 were better than Union J they sang better too Louie should have saved District 3 if he voted last and taken it to deadlock
James and Jaheme to win
I thought for sure Rylan would be gone this week
I was definately expecting Rylan to be at least in the bottom two,it is getting beyond a joke that he's still in the competition.I thought Louie was right not to vote and it went to deadlock,the best boy band won the veiwers vote.
Ella or James to win.
No-show warning for Chris Maloney
FURIOUS X Factor bosses read Christopher Maloney the riot act yesterday for throwing the show into chaos by missing rehearsals.
Mentor Gary Barlow was livid after Chris was an hour late for rehearsals of U2’s Beautiful Day with the other contestants, forcing producers to go ahead without him.
He was hauled in front of bosses to be given a FOURTH warning about his time-keeping.
A source said: “Chris is one of the most disliked contestants backstage because of the way he treats the production crew and other performers. Nobody has a good word to say for him.”

It sounds like Chris Maloney isn't taking the competition as seriuos as the other contestants,but I can't see them booting him off just for that reason.
i agree with you N.Fan.
i got the same impression that he is not taking the competition serious.

This year's X Factor winner's single will not directly participate in the race for Christmas number one.
The final for this year's show is expected to fall on December 9, with the winner's single to be released hours after the champion is declared at Manchester Arena.
The winner will therefore release their debut single two weeks before the Christmas number one is announced, meaning it has been withdrawn from the direct race, reports BBC Newsbeat.
Last year's winner Little Mix also avoided the festive chart race as Christmas day fell on a Sunday and the final of The X Factor was scheduled two weeks prior.
They reached number one with 'Cannonball' on December 18, but were beaten to the top spot by the Military Wives on December 25.
"Last year, it meant that Little Mix's debut single 'Cannonball' had its strongest week before the battle for festive number one was underway - letting in the Military Wives with 'Wherever You Are'," said Martin Talbot, managing director of The Official Charts Company.
"But with rumours that the X Factor finalists' single is also due to be a charity single, that could help it sustain through a second week and right into Christmas - if they get the song and the charitable cause right."
I'm not singing about that! Jahmene Douglas sends X Factor into chaos as he refuses to perform song about 'boozing'
Given his troubled past, it's not suprising that Jahmene Douglas would rather not perform songs on X Factor that are about drinking alcohol.
But according to reports, it led to chaos behind the scenes at X Factor as bosses are trying to plan this week's show.
The teetotal singer was set to join other contestants in performing Katy Perry's Last Friday Night in the upcoming Sunday night group, but point blank refused to take part because the song's lyrics glorify drinking.
According to The Sun, an insider of the popular talent show said it forced bosses to look for an alternative song.
'Bosses are desperately trying to find a new song for this weekend’s group ensemble after Jahmene’s refusal,' one insider told the newspaper.
'The six remaining acts were supposed to perform Last Friday Night but Jahmene has said no. The song is about partying and drinking and Jahmene is teetotal.'
Luckily for popular contestant, the producers of the show have been understanding and are now working hard to find a replacement group song for Sunday's results show.
The source added: 'He has made it clear from the start that he won’t sing songs about drinking and when he heard this track he was adamant he wouldn’t perform it.'
'Bosses have respected his wishes and it’s all hands on deck to get a new song ready in time for Sunday.'
Katy Perry's hit song is about partying and boozing, and features lyrics: 'I smell like a minibar. DJ’s passed out in the yard,' and 'We got kicked out of the bar.'
Jahmene opened up about his troubled past in interviews last week, where he revealed how he grew up with an abusive father.
The 21-year-old from Swindon now tries to stay out of trouble and doesn't drink or party with the other contestants.
The source said: 'When all the contestants went out for Rylan Clark’s birthday party he really didn’t like it. Even at judges’ houses, when he was given a glass of champagne to hold, he refused to even have it in his hand.'

>>>>>I respect Jahmene for standing up for his beliefs :thumbsup:
How on earth did Rylan even get passed the first audition? His singing is worse that Jedward's was. James to win I adore him. Ella 2nd
IMO Ella was the best last night, then Jahmene then James. Rylan and Christopher in the sing-off. It's true that Rylan can't sing, but his singing has improved a bit.
I didnt enjoy Ella this week I hated what she did with the Grease song and fear she could be in the bottom 2 as she is losing votes if rumours are true
Ellen Henderson has left The X Factor.
Henderson became the latest act to be eliminated from the ITV show after falling into the bottom two with James Arthur.
The result of the viewers' vote was met with shock and disapproval from the studio audience and with huge surprise from the judges.
Both acts returned to the stage to perform in the sing-off against one another. Henderson performed a rendition of Daniel Bedingfield's 'If You're Not The One' before Arthur sung 'Fallin' by Alicia Keys.
Host Dermot O'Leary then turned to the judges for their votes. Henderson's mentor Tulisa expressed her anger at the "ridiculous" result, saying that viewers were voting for the "wrong people". She then chose to send home Arthur. Nicole Scherzinger, Arthur's mentor, chose to send home Henderson.
Louis Walsh commented on the fact that both acts had so much potential in the competition, before choosing to send home James Arthur. Gary Barlow chose to send home Henderson and took the decision to Deadlock.
It was then revealed that the 16-year-old had polled the fewest amount of votes from the public.
i feel sorry for christopher now he must be thick skined to stay on the show
shocked ella and james in the bottom two but will have good careers after the show no doubt
jaheme and christoper are the only two never in the bottom so most likely one of them will win
The way people have been voting I wouldn't be surprised if Rylan made it to the final.:thumbsdow

One tweet said: “I hope you get stabbed while you sleep.” Another read: “I’ll hunt Maloney down and kill him.”
X Factor bosses have asked Twitter to investigate the threats.
The pressure comes after Christopher was branded a fake and a diva by insiders on the show, who claim he’s been turning up late to rehearsals and crying on cue for the cameras.
But the singer, who keeps getting voted through by the public, told Heat magazine: “People trying to bring me down and maybe force me to quit – it’s not going to happen.”
He also hit back at claims he’s been voting for himself, saying he doesn’t earn enough money on the show to pay his bills.

That is rediculous that Chris has been getting death threats,what is wrong with these people.

Usually, these results are not revealed to the public until the end of the series. The move would allow viewers to see which acts are most popular, and which are closest to being voted out of the competition.
Digital Spy has previously debated whether the move would be a good idea. It would in theory avoid popular acts being eliminated early due to viewers not voting out of the presumption that they are safe.
"If the viewers knew popular acts like Ella and James Arthur were pulling in low numbers of votes, it would encourage them to pick up the phone," an insider told The Sun.
"Revealing the voting numbers each week has really brought a new dynamic to the US show. Simon is looking to introduce it in the UK next year as part of a major shake-up."

Since the X Factor is a staged set-up from start to finish, I can't see this changing anything. People have stopped watching and voting because the programme has become more about the judges than the acts, and has to have a "joke" act each year. It needs scrapping and reverting to a Pop Idol/ American Idol format where the judges aren't competing against each other. If the public chose the live finalists then people like Rylan, Wagner, Chico, Jedward etc would never get near to the live shows and we might have a singing competition again. Judges with brains and minds of their own would also be an improvement! Tulisa spends weeks keeping Rylan in and telling everyone he's the most entertaining act on the show (complete b*llocks of course) and is then surprised when more people vote for him than proper singers. Another improvement would be to exclude anyone below the age of 18, because they should be at school or college learning something that may help them when their future pop career goes tits up! Hopefully Rylan or Christopher will now win, and Cowell et al will have got what they deserved, with zero chance of an X Factor Christmas Number One - which would be a nice Christmas blessing for the rest of us!
Brucie some of you comments I agree with and some I don't. I disagree that contestants should be over the age of 18 before they can enter. If that was the rule then we wouldn't have witnessed the wonderful talent of Ella Henderson. I still agree with judges should act as mentors but novelty acts like Rylan, Wagner and Jedward should be a no-no from the first audition. My opinion is that the one and only true contestant who deserves to win this year is James Arthur. To give reasons I would be hear all night but basically he is worlds apart from all the other acts. I know Nicole and Tulisa are rooting for Jahmeen but to me he's not that great. He should have been booted at boot camp. I know he has had a crap up-bringing but so has James and you don't see him playing the same old sad song every VT on a Saturday night. He lets his emotions shine in his performance. As for Christopher. The judges need to give him a break. Is he the best singer in the competition? NO!! but he won the public vote. Christopher's biggest fault is that every song he sings, he performs it as if he's down the local on the karaoke on a Saturday night. He can't take a song and make it a Christopher Maloney song like James and Ella could. But in reality he deserves his place more than Rylan because he can sing Rylan can't and this is a singing competition. Not a "Get me on TV and let me be famous competition" If anyone else apart from James wins then they are doomed because they don't have the passion or ability to succeeded beyond the X-factor bubble.
For me, the best singer on the ABBA section was James, and the best singer on the Motown section was Jahmene.
james was hands down the best last night on both songs
shame rylan left he was very gracious leaving thanking everyone and nicole he has a bright future on reality tv :p
jamie was union j has a brillant voice would be better on his own
Good post Chloe! James is the best, and I agree that Jahmeen is not great - he peaked at the first audition and has crucified song after song since. Judges shouldn't be the focus of the competition, in my view, especially when they are as poor as most of the current motley crew. As for under-18 year olds, I think people as good as Ella will always rise to fame, but we need to stop so many deluded young people (and their even more deluded families) thinking that tv fame is a more certain route to financial security than a decent education. Britain's Got Talent is even worse than X Factor on this count - precocious pre-pubescents and their pushy mothers should be banned from our tv screens forever!
FLAMBOYANT Rylan Clark’s risqué outfit got him in trouble on Saturday’s X Factor – after a move split his skin-tight trousers.
The camp singer, voted off the show last night, was left red-faced as host Dermot O’Leary pulled up Rylan’s leg to show off his wacky trainers – only for his yellow bottoms to tear at the crotch.
The Essex wannabe had just performed a Motown medley and received the judges’ comments when the embarrassing episode unfolded. He was forced to cover his crotch with his hand as he sheepishly walked off stage.
Meanwhile, Rylan tweeted yesterday that he’d been struck down by a bug. He complained: “Got a chest infection :-( not good but still going!”

>>> sad Rylan leaving. But hope that a really talented singer will win now, either James or Jahmene. Go Team Nicole!!!:thumbsup:
I would like to see James,Jahmene and Union J in the final three.
AXED X FACTOR star Rylan Clark is heading back to our screens after bagging a presenting stint on ITV1’s Daybreak.
The singer, who split public opinion with his quirky performances before being voted off on Sunday, will be filling in for Richard Arnold.
Rylan said: “I can’t believe it. I only left X Factor a week ago and now I am joining Lorraine and Aled on the Daybreak sofa.
“I’m a massive fan of the show and it’s going to be so much fun sharing all the showbiz news and gossip with the nation each morning.
“I’m looking forward to keeping Richard’s seat warm while he’s swanning off on holiday, but I won’t be asking for any dancing tips just yet.”
Richard, who was voted out of Strictly a fortnight ago, said: “The wonderful thing about this hurly burly business we call show is that you know one day you’ll be replaced by someone younger, thinner and, in this case, much taller than you.
“I wish Rylan all the best in his new role at Daybreak.”
TV Biz told this week how Rylan is set to be one of the most popular X Factor contestants after being inundated with work offers.
Celebrity Big Brother bosses want him for next year’s show while producers for the live instalment of Towie on Monday night are keen for him to make a cameo appearance.
Derren Litten, the creator of Benidorm, is also a big fan and wants him to appear in the next series of the hit comedy.

The world has gone completely bonkers. how can someone with more fake tan that Kat Moon who six months ago, the country had never heard off suddenly be given a job on national TV? What is going on? We turn on the news or open a newspaper to see that the country is focused on getting young people age 16-24 back into education or into work, yet they are encouraging individuals with clearly no academic qualifications, ambitions or common sense by giving them a job. Whatever happened to hard work and determination. It's no wonder that young people don't have the motivation to get out of their lazy pitts in the morning to go and do something with their lives when they see the likes of Rylan being handed everything to him on a plate, and all he had to do was change his name and turn on the water works.
Christopher murdered Michael Buble's song last night!!! Enjoyed James' performance of The Power of Love the most. But prefer Gabrielle Aplin's version on the John Lewis advert.....
If Christopher wins, he'll end up like Steve Brookstein and Leon Jackson.:thumbsdow
Well done to Nicole for getting this far with 2 acts :bow:
I still want Jahmene to be crowned the winner :D
