Voldemort:

I'm thinking GirlBand are out this week. One of them reminds me of Mylene Klass which isn't a good thing

I hope they go this week, they pissed me off last week as I liked Bad Lashes.

You see, I don't like Girlband at all, but I really think Daniel was the worst performer tonight and we should put the poor sod out of his misery.

I like Daniel as a person (i'm a sucker for a sad story though) but I agree he shouldn't be in the competition anymore.

I think some people forget that it IS a competition and it's about the ability to sing NOT about how bad your life has been.

Good point HH, he's like a club singer version of Gary Barlow but obviously nowhere near as talented. Sob stories only get you so far

Pickles - I've signed in and out so many times - it's annoying me now.

Rachael-wrog choice of song again-and the faux humbleness doesn't wash.

Eoghan(sp!)*shudder* his moosh reminds me of a young Jamie Oliver and I would personally take a pair of shears to that barnet!

Diana-I don't like my divas kooky or grungy so nay (she is cute though)

Alexandra and Austin are my faves tonight

I'm coming late to this and I've just finished reading the thread - does nobody find Diana annoying? I think she sounds awful, like the wind whistling through a milk bottle. I want to rip off those hands and stuff them in her mouth by the end of her performance!

I dislike Rachel in general but I thought her performance tonight was really powerful. I agree that her voice is aggressive, but I don't see it as a bad thing (hasn't done Pink any harm).

And Owen annoys me too. He's so predictable and safe.

I think either Daniel or Girlband will go tonight. Girlband seem to be devoid of any sort of personality and Daniel is so crusty and boring.

I was so looking forward to our chat too! Last week was fab, not the same without Han though ! I have news for you though! Was thinking of coming down to see you guys first weekend in Nov??

Is that the 1st Pickles?

I think this weeks has been awful no-one this week has stood out for me,

i really don't like Diana,

Eughan was very boring,

Daniel is getting predictable,

Girlband they sound out of choon,

Rachel what is going on there,

J,L,S, sounded out tonight,

Laura,like her,but song didnt suit her this week,

Alexandra, mariah eat your heart out,

Scott, was better this week,

Aston, didn't like this version that he sang, you can not mess with Billie Jean

Ruth, better without the spanish

Girlband out tonight i think

I love Diana, I think she is amazing! She and Laura are currently the two most viewed artists on Youtube , so I think that is a really good indication to how the vote will go.

Rachel is a frigging nightmare! I want her and Daniel to be in the bottom two, and I dont mind which of them goes..this week or the next.

I was cheering when Luis said that thing about Billie Jean and American Idol since I was thinking the same. Simon knows David Cook won the show with that song and it felt like such a rip off, especially as Austin didnt sound half as good or original. He is still a brilliant singer though.

GWTW, I find Diana's hand movements extremely tiresome, and her weird no-shoe thang is also grating.

Unlike (I think) DDW, I do like kooky singers, so Diana's one of my favourites, and I liked what she did with 'With or Without You' last week.  It's probably my fave U2 song, and I thought it was a pretty version.  I do agree she needs to calm the hands down a bit though

I also think Daniel and Girlband will be in the bottom two, and I think Daniel will go.  I'm sad about that as he seems like a great guy, but he's got no chance of winning X factor.  Great idea about him singing Smooth Criminal, that would have been fun.  It wouldn't entirely surprise me if Rachel was in the bottom 2 either, I thought that version of Dirty Diana was plain awful, far to breathy and staccato - she didn't end the words properly.  I actually preferred that song she did last week, it was my earworm for the week (most annoyingly).

On the whole I haven't loved tonight's show at all, but Michael Jackson is not my cup of tea (thugh I will admit to owning a cassette of Thriller in the dim distant past), so I was never going to be easy to impress  

Annnnnnnnnnd, we're back in the room!

Am very much looking forward to Girls Aloud's performance, I loof them and their funky pop music

I'm excited about seeing Girls Aloud perform
