I thought Andy was brilliant alongside Niki, Beverley and Rhydian. These are my 4 favourites and i will be supporting Andy all the way! GO ANDY!
My predictions were correct for tonight! I wasn't overly bothered that Daniel went to be honest.

I thought it was a shame about Daniel, he has been given songs that really dont suit his voice and the tone of his voice, if it was up to me I would of picked the perfect song for him this week :)
Andy hardly put any effort into his performance I thought. No dancing, no movement, nothing. He looked as if he didn't want to be there.
I juts thought Andy looked really nervous and frightened but he did get a lot better towards the end when the notes in the song were more powerful and longer
I only saw the recap of the performances. They reminded me of Bucks Fizz doing Eurovision.Quote:

I think he was in early shows edited to look bad - pantomine villian. I havent seen that much of the show, but he definitely doesnt come across as an arrogant pillock to me!
He definitely, in my opinion, has the best voice...I reckon even if he doesnt win, he will have a solid career in muscials ahead of him.

Louis is right about Same Difference them being in the competition is a joke, I cant see them selling records.
If the Cheeky Girls can do it .....Quote:

Just goes to show that song choice is crucial, one bad performance and you could be out.
There's a lot of potentials this year: Rhydian, Hope, Nicki, Beverly, Futureproof.
I reckon Emily and Alisha's days are numbered, Sharon by far has the weakest category!
Nicki to win! :D What on earth can she sing to beat My Heart Will Go On though!?
same differerence: my opinion
anyone else think they are scarily like the brother and sister from high school musical???? there is somthing very sinister about them, be afraid people......
i also think they are going to do really well - they are very appealing to the under 13's in a high school musical way - i think they are going to get their own kids tv show
like i said be afraid.........
rhydian scares the life out of me. fair enough he can sing. him and niki are far the best out of a mediocre bunch, but where she has real class, he just looks like a pantomine villain.
hope just looked like a bunch of hookers last night and you could tell someof them were mortified about it.
anyhoo, NIKI to win!!!
Lol I liked same difference, I love high school musical, i think it will be werid if we ever see them do a slow balad or something serious
I love Same Difference :D They're funny! I dont want them to win, but come on, this is a TV show. And they're entertaining. Therefore they should stay :p
And WHY do i like Rhydian?!?!?! I hated him during the auditions, but he was amazing. Again. Rhydian to win!!!
And please, get rid of Niki. I cant stand her. Shes sooo unoriginal. She sounded just like Celion Dion, and thats not a good thing. Its a copy-cat performance. And she couldn't even reach that top note, she just shouted it. Even i could shout to get to that note!! And she looks like shes about to cry 24/7. Get a grip woman, and lighten up!
I still dont like Rhydian, I think hes good but I think he belongs in the west end not the X factor, but thats only my opinion
Anyone know what the theme is next week, and whose on the show?
erm I think its Big band or something, cos they are having an orchestra
oh joy the snooze-fest that is Big Band/Swing week...you can't sing a song in the style of something written 50 years ago and suddenly you're a failure...
I have a major gripe with X Factor. The stylists really need sacking. Last series when they did Big Band they let the guys go on stage with jeans and trainers on. It really annoyed me because Big Band is all about jazz and they should be in suits or at least a pair of smart trousers, t shirt and tie and smart shoes.
Every week the stylists come out with something totally inappropriate. Andy looked really uncomfortable last night in the hoody and jacket.
I know it's not really important but it just annoys me when the stylists don't dress the acts to suit the theme of the week.
I've not been watching it because i think they all suck, but what song did that brother/sister duo sing??
Breaking free from High school Musical :pQuote:

I think Same Difference are so fun and cheesy! :D Bev is amazing and Hope are like Girls Aloud I think!
Axed Daniel accuses 'X Factor' of conspiracy
Tuesday, October 30 2007, 10:30 GMT
By Nick Levine, Entertainment Reporter
Axed hopeful Daniel De Bourg has claimed that he is the victim of an X Factor conspiracy after his song choice was changed just 18 hours before Saturday's live show.
De Bourg, who was eliminated from the ITV1 singing contest after failing to impress the viewers with his version of The Foundations' 'Build Me Up Buttercup', revealed that he had originally intended to sing Prince's 'When Doves Cry' on Saturday.
"Brian Friedman had my whole 'When Doves Cry' routine choreographed - he'd hired the dancers and I was going to close the show this week, and then suddenly at 12am on Saturday I was given a CD of bloody 'Build Me Up Buttercup'," he told DS.
De Bourg admitted that he's unsure who instructed him to sing 'Build Me Up Buttercup', a song that failed to capitalise on the soulful tone of his voice, but he speculated that Simon Cowell might have played a role in his downfall.
"I don't trust Simon because it's his show. I think he may have had something to do with that song choice," he alleged. "I think he's out there to protect his acts and I know that he's seen me as a threat before. Who knows where that song choice came from? But it's Simon's show - remember that. I'm not saying Simon chose it, because I don't know."
'X Factor's Daniel slams 'ignorant' Osbourne

Axed X Factor hopeful Daniel De Bourg has lashed out at Sharon Osbourne, insisting that the judge "doesn't really know much" about the music business.
De Bourg, who was eliminated from the ITV1 singing contest on Saturday, admitted that he has shunned Osbourne's advice since she advised him to perform a dance routine to a downtempo rock ballad.
He told DS: "I take everything that Sharon says with a pinch of salt, because she doesn't really know much about the music industry, especially soulful music.
"After I'd performed Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars' at boot camp, she said to me: 'You're a dance teacher. Why don't you dance when you sing?' I was like, 'I just sang 'Chasing Cars'. What the hell? Do you want me to pirouette?' That's why I take everything she says with a pinch of salt."
I think Daniel De Bourg had better watch his step and his mouth, Simon Cowell can open a lot of doors for him and shut them also. He was kicked out, deal with it. I think if Simon chose the song for him Louis would have spoken up on Sat. night.
Yet another person with sour grapes symdrome. Why can't they just except that fact there not as good as they think, and that's why they didn't win!
Leon's mum unhappy with Simon Cowell

Leon Jackson's mother Wendy has hit back at Simon Cowell's criticism of her son's first live X Factor performance.
Wendy was furious when Cowell slated Leon's rendition of 'Can't Buy Me Love' last weekend, and she has now accused the music mogul of scheming to get rid of the competition.
"I was so proud and thought he was great. But I was really unhappy with Simon's comments that Leon didn't deserve his place in the final 12," Wendy told the Daily Star Sunday.
"Maybe it's because he's one of the favourites to win the competition and he's trying to get rid of the strong ones that aren't in his own category."
Asked what she would say to Cowell if they came face-to-face, Wendy joked: "I wouldn't say anything. I'd just punch him in the face."
wtf, where did she get that from?Quote:

Oh dear, she sounds as rough as a badger's erm...backside...'I'd punch him in the face' - now thats a real mature attitude to have - poor Leon!
Ofcourse she is going to think he is the best singer, but she seems totally deluded....I dont think her running her mouth off about Simon Cowell, and those above comments are going to do Leon any favours!
In my opinion he is one of the weakest ones, and I think Simon was right in what he said!
isn't Leon the one who had to go to the auditions on his own because his mum said he wouldn't get anywhere in the music biz, or am i confusing him with someone else?
He did go to the audition on his own, dont know if that was the reason though.Quote:

The TV presenter said that the only person on the show that has impressed him so far is Niki Evans, from the over-25s category.
He told The Sun: "I quite like her. She’s OK, but the rest aren’t exactly dazzling."
Norton added: "This year’s show has not been particularly great - you’ve got 12 people who are, basically, not up to much.
"I suppose it just shows how shallow the talent pool is in Britain at the moment if that’s the best we can come up with."
Kylie Minogue is being lined up to perform on the last X Factor show of the series with one of the final two competitors.
Last year finalist Leona Lewis sang a duet with Take That, while Ray Quinn performed a song with Westlife for their final showdown.
A source told The Sun: "Nothing is confirmed but there are talks and it's looking certain Kylie will perform."
But a duet between Kylie and her sister Dannii, who is a judge on the programme, has been ruled out. The insider added: "A sisterly duet is unlikely because Dannii's so busy with her acts, but you never know."
X Factor finalist Emily Nakanda has been filmed attacking a teenage girl.
The 15-year-old Londoner, who is one of two remaining hopefuls in the 'Girls 14-24' category, is seen putting a blonde girl in a headlock in the mobile phone video.
Nakanda proceeds to swing the girl by her hair, before hitting her several times and pushing her to the ground.
It is not the first time that the contestant's temperament has been questioned. Earlier this week The Sun uncovered a video clip in which Nakanda threatened to gouge out a boy's eyes with a knife.
X Factor executives have launched an investigation into the incidents, with a representative telling The Sun: "We in no way condone her behaviour. Our investigations are continuing but at this time we are taking no further action."
Sir Trevor McDonald has reportedly claimed that he would like to do a Neil Diamond impression on The X Factor.
The newsreader's wife apparently told judge Louis Walsh that he is keen to appear on the celebrity version of the show.
According to The Sun, she told Walsh: "You must have Trevor on Celebrity X Factor, he’s such a big fan."
After Walsh claimed that there wasn't going to be another series, she said: "Oh, that’s a shame -Trevor does a great Neil Diamond."
