No, I think it should be Wagner and Aiden.  Aiden absolutely butchered Thriller; it was truly awful.   Rebecca was up to her normal high standard. Mary was sort of OK but still annoys me.  Cher was astonishingly good!!!  The rest were all OK.

I can't say I'll miss Belle Amie; I could never get away from the idea that they were four fairly average soloists who didn't really want to be in a group, but took the option they were given. Also it's hard to take a band with the same name as a porn studio seriously.

I think Wagner's probably got another week to go before the voters get bored with annoying Simon. Cher did herself a lot of good by doing a ballad - her raps and mash-ups are all very well, but the winner's song is always a ballad with a big key change; she needs to prove she can deliver with that kind of material too. I don't have a particular favourite but Rebecca is looking like an increasingly strong candidate to win.

Well if an X Factor Song (however bad) stops Cliff Richard being number 1 at Christmas I'm all for it!

I think we should all download Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.  Oh, yes!

i believe that one was in the running this year, dr.t, until the masses settled on john cage (which if it beats x factor will be simply HILARIOUS!)

It was a bit of a weak show last night I thought.  Rebecca stood out - yet again.  One Direction were good I suppose if you like that sort of thing.

Wagner is this year's Jedward.  He shouldn't be there at all.  He is only there as a desperate wild card.  While ever he remains a genuine singer will go, which isn't right.  I would also like to see Mary go, who is out of her depth.

Katie's sing-off performances get more desperate each week; she ends up shouting and practically begging to stay. It's cringeworthy. Who knew there were so many 'give me another chance' type songs to pick from?

Louis made the wrong decision sending Treyc home. She's been let down by the song choices for the last couple of weeks; when she performed 'One' and 'Purple Rain' she was fantastic.

I'm stunned at last night's result. I wasn't that surprised to see Aidan in the bottom two; despite the judges' praise, I really didn't think his 'Rocket Man' worked. But he's miles better than Katie and I was convinced she'd have polled the lowest votes.

I can only believe Simon continues to save her because she generates headlines, but keep her in much longer it could backfire.
