That is what I have been thinking, she can't continue with that style for the rest of the competition
Storm Lee and Diva Fever have become the next two acts to be eliminated from The X Factor.
Lee was the first act to leave after Dermot O'Leary revealed that the aspiring rockstar had received the least public votes in a bottom three that also included Belle Amie and Diva Fever.
After the result, Lee commented: "You know, I just want everyone out there who's ever believed in something to never, ever give up because you haven't seen the best of me yet, let me tell you."
Simon Cowell's groups then took part in a final sing-off, which saw Diva Fever cover Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' and Belle Amie perform a tearful rendition of Fergie's 'Big Girls Don't Cry'.
After the showdown, Louis Walsh cast the first vote to send Diva Fever home, arguing that Belle Amie "can grow and get better throughout the show".
Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole also cast their votes for Diva Fever, giving them the three votes needed to send them home.
"We have had the time of our lives," Diva Fever member Craig Saggers stated after the vote. "This is just mad being on the X Factor. [We] just want to say thank you to Simon for putting us back on the live show, we still feel we can really sing."
His bandmate Josef Al-Smadi added: "We were serious about [the show] and we really wanted to win it, but wanted to smile and have fun and I think we did that."
After half-jokingly blaming their elimination on Cowell's choice of song in yesterday's show, their mentor came on stage and announced: "I accept full responsibility. I let you down and I am sorry."
Cowell now has just two acts remaining in the competition, while Cheryl Cole has become the only mentor to still have all of their acts.
I felt for Belleamaire tonight. Neither acts deserved to be in the sing off, but like previous years the bands always go first, voters don't like girl bands. I think Cheryl's luck will run out next week.
Sorry but I just don't get Aiden, I thought he was terrible.
I have always liked Aiden in the previous performances but it was plain to see how uncomfortable and nervous he was last weekend. Still going for Mary to win, another brilliant performance from her. :thumbsup:
Mary, Matt and Rebbeca are the best this year... Belle amis irriates me.. really sorry to see Diva Fever go.. .
I do hope Katie or Cher goes out next weekQuote:

X Factor's Matt Cardle has reportedly accused fellow finalist Katie Waissel of making up lies, after a newspaper claimed that they had been found in bed together.
The News of the World claimed that that the pair were caught by members of the security team when a kissing game went too far. However, according to The Sun, Matt was furious when he read the report.
He apparently yelled at her: "Stop stitching me up. Stop making stuff up. I could never sleep with you."
The pair are said to have only shared a bed in his room to watch a DVD.
"What do you think you're doing? We were only watching TV - now it looks like we're an item," he told the 24-year-old.
"I've just come out of a relationship and I'm not about to get into another right now. Especially not with you. You're not my type.
"Stop making this stuff up. You've humiliated me and you won't have done yourself any favours."
A source at the ITV show added: "Getting close to Matt can make her look popular. Everyone loves him. But you can't go around making stuff up."
They claimed that Katie spent the rest of the day in tears, ignored by the other finalists.
"She's had tears down her cheeks, going on about how she's a really bad person. She's not a bad person, she's just desperate to win. Everyone does stupid things now and again."
Matt is just stunning. If he doesn't win I'm throwing a fooking brick at the telly
Katie seems like a media whore she would do anything for her name in the papers
What she gonna do next drop her drawers outside Simon's dressing room.
She has probably tried it alreadyQuote:

I think that is the other way around.. Mary has been given Tesco publicity... she is known as Tesco Mary and all the Irish tesco ads have "good luck Mary" at the end of themQuote:

According to the X Factor Updates site, the acts will all be performing pop and rock classics that some people may consider lowbrow or embarrassing.
The site claims that Belle Amie will sing the '80s movie theme tune 'Footloose' and that Treyc Cohen is performing Led Zeppelin hit 'Stairway To Heaven'.
The theme weeks so far this year have included Number Ones and Musical Heroes.
The X Factor continues on Saturday at 7.30pm on ITV1.
Can I book my guilty pleasure slot now. Matt top-less :wub:

I want Mary to win the whole thing now. I prefer Mary to Susan Boyle any day!
Can't stand Cher now. She comes across as cocky to me.
Katie would do anything to be in the public's eye. I'm glad it wasn't true that she's an item with Matt.
IMO both Katie Perry AND Diana Vickers were awful on X Factor last night! I couldn't understand what they were saying. Diana Vickers was much worse though, all I got was "oopsy daisy!"
:lol: I asked my daughter what she was saying and we couldn't make anything out either except oopsy daisyQuote:

The channel has also secured the exclusive broadcast rights to the American version of The X Factor, which will be shown on ITV2 alongside America's Got Talent.
ITV's deal renew's their collaboration with Syco Entertainment and Freemantle Media after a large amount of speculation about the entertainment formats. The future for the UK reality shows was thrown into doubt after Piers Morgan confirmed his exit from BGT and Simon Cowell announced plans to launch a US X Factor in autumn 2011.
However, this latest development means that Simon Cowell will remain with the channel until 2011. It has also been confirmed that BGT will be back in Spring 2011 as usual, while the UK X Factor will also be back in its regular slot in autumn 2011.
ITV2 spinoff shows Britain's Got More Talent and The Xtra Factor will also return.
Speaking about the deal, Simon Cowell said: "I am thrilled this deal has been concluded with ITV to enable our relationship to continue to develop. I am committed to making sure both shows get bigger and better every year. I
"I have a lot to thank ITV for; they have been key in making The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent the UK's biggest television shows.:
ITV director of television Peter Fincham commented: "The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent are the shows that have helped define the last decade of television in the UK and have become more than just a talking point: they are a national obsession, and I’m delighted that our viewers can continue to enjoy them on ITV over the next three years.
"I’m especially pleased to have agreed a deal that cements our successful relationship with Simon Cowell, Syco and FremantleMedia over a longer term. I look forward to working with them as we continue to develop both shows and keep them at the top of their game."
X Factor and BGT have been ITV1's biggest entertainment shows in recent years with the 2009 series finales both scoring over 19million viewers.
Talkback Thames interim CEO Sara Geater said: "We are very proud of our productions and the incredibly talented team behind them. We are delighted with ITV's commitment to the shows and that our successful relationship with Syco continues to flourish."
ITV will have exclusive sales agents for TV, online and interactive properties for the two shows and have also reached a revenue share agreement over iTunes downloads for the live performances from the programmes.
Mary for the win! shes amazing!
I cannot stand Cher! she is so irriatating, she thinks this rapping is origional yet its really not, if you into that music there are a few women artists like that and when she actually sings shes hopeless!
I so agree with you. I don't even like her singing voice. I think her voice is weak. She just annoys me.Quote:

Despite selling millions, the late singing star - who died 33 years ago - has never scored a number one single.
But studio wizardry means he is to duet with opera star Bryn Terfel on a new version of his timeless classic White Christmas.
The track's original release in 1942 predated the UK singles chart by a decade.
Bookmaker William Hill is now giving the track odds of 6-1 to become the Christmas number one - better than the price for an actual white Christmas, which is 8-1.
Last year saw a concerted effort to keep the X Factor winner from the number one spot, with a huge chart battle which resulted in Rage Against The Machine depriving Joe McElderry of the coveted seasonal prime spot.
This year's runners and riders include the infamous noiseless composition, 4'33" by John Cage, as a silent anti-X Factor stunt. Terfel has recorded the track for his new album Carols And Christmas Songs, which is to be released in December.
White Christmas is judged to be the biggest selling single of all time with sales of more than 50 million, although no exact figures exist.
The song, written by Irving Berlin, featured in the film Holiday Inn with that recording also featuring the voice of Martha Mears - rather than actress Marjorie Reynolds who appeared to sing it on screen.
Terfel said: "It's such an honour not only to be sharing a track with one of the best loved singers in the world, but to be singing one of the best songs ever written. I hope everyone will enjoy it."
Oh I love that song, always puts me in the Christmas mood.
She's this year Diana Vickers. She'll go soon. Matt, Mary and Rebecca top three.Quote:

Ahh right. I'll probably get back into it once it's wittled down a bit more.
Cheryl Cole has been confirmed to perform on this weekend's X Factor live results show.
The Girls Aloud singer will take to the stage on Sunday to perform new material, believed to be upcoming single 'The Flood' from her second solo album Messy Little Raindrops.
A post on the official X Factor website read: "It’s official! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... our very own Cheryl is going to perform on The X Factor this weekend!
"Yes during Sunday’s show the Girls' mentor will transform into her other role as global pop superstar, and treat us to some of her new material! It's all very exciting!
"After her performance she will then no doubt effortlessly re-assume her role as judge, in time for the dreaded sing-off."
The X Factor results show airs on Sunday at 8pm on ITV1.
Great!..............NOT! Bring back Diana Vickers!!!Quote:

CHERYL Cole has hit out at her "stupid" X Factor rival Louis Walsh, further escalating the war between them.
The Geordie judge said Louis had made himself look like an idiot after he told her "it's not all about you" and interrupted her on the show when she tried to speak.
Cheryl, 27, fumed about his bitching: "It was really out of context. It was random.
"I just said to him, 'If there's a problem, come to my dressing room, and let's have it out. Why are you shouting at us? What's that all about?'.
"I hadn't even mentioned myself when he said 'it's not all about you — you're making yourself look stupid!'. No, actually, you are Louis."
And she also suggested that the 58-year-old cares more about himself than his acts Mary Byrne, John Adeleye and Wagner.
Cheryl told X Magazine: "Maybe he might think it's all about the judges because he's a judge. But for me, it's about my girls and how they perform. I really don't care what Louis' opinion of me is."
Simon Cowell, 51, recently admitted all four judges are at war, saying: "There are definitely two divisions.
"You've got Louis and Dannii, who look like they've been sucking on lemons. And then there's me and Cheryl trying to have a good time."

HUNDREDS of X Factor fans have blasted Dermot O'Leary for likening Simon Cowell's dilemma in having to pick between two of his acts to tragic Holocaust drama Sophie's Choice.
The heartbreaking story - made into a 1982 film starring Meryl Streep as Sophie - follows a mum who while in Auschwitz is forced by the Nazis to decide which of her two children to save from death.
Dermot used the phrase to question Simon on Sunday after his co-judges, Louis, Dannii and Cheryl, voted to keep Belle Amie at the expense of Diva Fever - both of whom are mentored by Simon.
The host, 37, said: "Simon, I have to ask, it's Sophie's Choice, but who would you have gone with?"
But the 51-year-old refused to answer - claiming it wasn't fair to choose between his acts.
Hundreds of viewers flooded internet forums to complain about Dermot's "insensitive" comment.
One said: "The remark was indeed in really poor taste."
Another said: "You can't compare X Factor to millions of people being killed in the Holocaust."
But others defended Dermot, saying the use of Sophie's Choice was simply a common turn of phrase.
The host later apologised on his Twitter page for any offence he might have caused, writing: "Hey, thanks for tweets re: Sophie's Choice.
"Obviously no offence intended, just off-hand reference to a film, not a serious comparison."

Loads of people just that to make a tough decision.. I don't see it as offensive
