Such a hard one this as the number of positions on the official singles chart has varied so much at different times. This are the dates & how the lengths of official charts changed. 14 November 1952 - Top 12 01 October 1954 - Top 20 13 April 1956 - Top 30 05 March 1960 - Top 50 06 May 1978 - Top 75 08 January 1983 - Top 100 29 April 1991 - Top 75 26 June 2004 - Top 100 it remains the same today

Kitty should definately still be there - as well as a good singer she's also a good performer. Next week's bottom 2 - Misha B & Craig please. :puke2: These are definatley the worst 2 left. Gary called Janet boring - what about Craig & Marcus For god sake if Craig wins he will just become another Steve Brookstein or Leon Jackson Amelia Lily to win :yahoo: Her voice sounds like a young Lulu Rebecca back next week :wub:

One thing only to say about Amelia - bloody sensational :yahoo: She blew me away tonight Nobody else came close. My rankings now: Amelia Kitty Little Mix Marcus Janet My bottom 2: Misha B Craig

Seems Both actually Chi-lites tried to copy Sam & Dave with Beyonce actually sampling the Chi-lites I'd not heard the Chi-lites track before Here's Sam & Dave XrTDJaBeqnY

Who the hell does LA Reid think he is - He calls Drew & Melanie one trick ponies and that they should do someing uptempo If Astro & Chris Rene aren't one trick ponies (especially Asto) I don't know what is. Astro is the same every week just talking with different words. And what is all that arm waving about with both of them. You can't even tell a word they're saying anyway. At least Chris Rene does sing the odd few words. Glad Stereo Hoggs went but they were miles better that these 2 idiots The sooner these 2 go the better. As for Drew - she blew me away again last night. Jesse J was brilliant - Didn't understand that Willow Smith song.

The only other way they could really so it is to have just 2 in the finals

Amelia to win :yahoo: Tulisa's face when The Risk were knocked out :o - That's how I was when Kelly rejected Amelia in favour of Misha B And it's actually Queen v Lady Gaga Week Anyone know who's singing what? Hope Kitty doesn't do Who Wants To Live Forever or The Edge Of Glory again - But You Know Louis

But Will Young as a judge on The Voice - AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :puke2:

My ranking now would be: 1. Kitty 2. Janet 3. Little Mix 4. Marcus 5. Misha B 6. Craig If Amelia gets back in she'll deffo get my vote. - She's more talented than all the others put together

I'd love Amelia to get back in to bring some real talent to the show Biggest mistake Kelly made voting her out - It should have been Misha B If Amelia does get back in and win - then it will show that the so called TWIST didn't work. It should have been done on entirely the public vote and the bottom one of each category should have gone.

This is what Frankie had to say: “I’d like to apologise to Gary, my fellow contestants and everyone who has voted for me, but, as of today, I will no longer be in The X Factor. My life during the show has gone out of control and my behaviour off stage has over-stepped the rules of the competition. I no longer deserve my place in the show, so I am therefore leaving. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me.”

Rebecca's new single - Nothing's Real But Love - is released on 27 November Where will it peak FVs55XkYzls

For once I agree with who went out last week - Johnny & The Risk :yahoo: I loved Florence's performance but I agree with Conderella about JLS - I also think they are vile and untalented. Great that Frankie got booed. He's got too cocky. Hope it's Frankie & Misha B bottom 2 this week. Then whoever survives goes out the week after. Then Craig after that. In a way after all that Kitty's suffered - I'd love her to win now with Janet 2nd, Marcus 3rd & Little Mix 4th The rumour about it being Gaga week I don't think its true. It's just that Lady Gaga is appearing on the results show. Let's have Rebecca Ferguson on soon as her debut single Nothing's Real But Love is released on 27 November. FVs55XkYzls

These are my rankings after last nights performances: 1. Kitty 2. Marcus 3. Janet 4. Little Mix 5. Misha B 6. The Risk 7. Craig 8. Johnny 9. Frankie I only like the top 4 anyway.

It was at UK #33 (SEE HERE) in the UK charts this week peaking at #6 with a 15 week Top 50 chart run They only had 1 other UK hit in 1968 - Hello How Are You - quite a reasonable ballad that peaked at #20 - they also just bubbled outside the Top 50 with Music Goes Round My Head.

Scott English also had the original hit back in 1971 with the original title BRANDY peaking at #12 Barry Manilow only released the song in 1974 which was his first US hit. We all know who else covered it.

Would you believe One Direction are currently #11 in of all places Azerbaijan :o

Bring Steve Jones to the UK show and send Dermot O'Dreary over to the US. Steve is a better host by miles - he makes O'Dreary look and sound so childish.

I agree with you about Chris Rene & Astro - it's supposed to be a singing competition and I haven't heard either of them sing - just talk & wave their arms about. Drew to win - she blows me away everytime!

The Monkees hits were split between Micky Dolenz (7) & Davy Jones (3) as lead singers. Micky Dolenz: Last Train To Clarksville I'm A Believer Randy Scouse Git (Alternate Title) Pleasant Valley Sunday DW Washburn Teardop City Someday Man Davy Jones: A Little Bit Me A Little Bit You Daydream Believer Valleri

I think YOU GOT THE LOVE should be band - it's there every year. Here's what some should do - great dance from the 90s KITTY - Tribal Dance - 2 Unlimited QzYymM0uVEQ LITTLE MIX- A Neverending Dream - X-Perience mryldwQBft0 JANET - Number 1 - Goldfrapp gzfaJRDfveo JOHNNY - Sin With Sebastian - Shut Up :lol: YkeKen39fuk THE RISK - This Is The Way - E-Type uGyfAXo5mWs MISHA B - Love Religion - U96 il9nlRFXcR0 MARCUS - What Is Love - Haddaway FRANKIE - Basshunter - Now You're Gone IgFwiCApH7E CRAIG - Coco Jamboo - Mr. President wTs00_cYQN4

They definately sent the wrong girl home last night I can't stand Micha B(itch) What was that on top of her head on Sunday - it looked like a burnt loaf of bread. Some pretty average ones left now - biggest blunder this season - Kelly not taking Amelia-Lily through IMO Janet, Kitty or Marcus to win with Little Mix coming 4th. The rest are quickly getting on my nerves now!

Should read: I must add though - the longer Frankie & Johnny stays in - the more chance that XF will be seen as the ludicrous show it is. My vote would be for Frankie from here on in (if I voted of course).
