Nu Vibe to win the sing off please. Although both are pretty rubbish so it's win win. It's the bottom two I wanted, odd it's usually as far away from what I want as possible. Happy Sophie, Rhythmix and Kitty go through. :) (Sami/Janet too but I knew Janet would be through anyway)

Was there some kind of misconception in the first place?

I don't even bother watching the guest acts, boring filler. As for what goes on in X Factor, of course any artist worth they're salt wouldn't touch this show.....but it can still be entertaining on a basic level. Plus it's not like these contestants can't sing. All the shocks & drama is more like a soap opera than anything else.

Nu Vibe is pretty much a given for bottom two. The other spot could be very interesting. Have a feeling Sami might be in trouble.

That's the most confusing example of simple I've ever seen.

It's not the new Sara Bareilles song is it?

Dalisska sent in our confirmation. Hope it's ok....doubt it's the one everyone is fighting over. :P

I'm hoping for a Nu Vibe & Frankie bottom two. With Frankie going (although I really wouldn't care if both got the axe)

Kitty - Really enjoyed that and our voice sounded a lot better this week. Sometimes it feels like her voice is a bit strainy...but I didn't notice that this week. 8.5/10 Sophie Habibis - 9/10 Rhythmix - 8.5/10 Kitty Brucknell - 8.5/10 Marcus Collins - 8/10 Janet Devlin - 8/10 Misha Bryan - 7.5/10 Johnny Robinson - 7/10 Craig Colton - 6.5/10 Sami Brookes - 6.5/10 The Risk - 6/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10 Frankie - 4/10 Might have been a bit too kind with some of these scores, might mark them down later.

Sophie - Stunning performance and personally the only performance so far tonight that truly shone. This girl has buckets and buckets of potential, hope she can go the distance. 9/10 Sophie Habibis - 9/10 Rhythmix - 8.5/10 Marcus Collins - 8/10 Janet Devlin - 8/10 Misha Bryan - 7.5/10 Johnny Robinson - 7/10 Craig Colton - 6.5/10 Sami Brookes - 6.5/10 The Risk - 6/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10 Frankie - 4/10

The Risk - The dreaded stools arrive. I don't know it didn't really do much for me....maybe in general I don't enjoy Boy bands a whole lot. Possibly because boyband usually means drowning in clichés.6/10 Rhythmix - 8.5/10 Marcus Collins - 8/10 Janet Devlin - 8/10 Misha Bryan - 7.5/10 Johnny Robinson - 7/10 Craig Colton - 6.5/10 Sami Brookes - 6.5/10 The Risk - 6/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10 Frankie - 4/10

I think Kelly should keep giving her uptempo/swagger songs. As soon as she gets a brooding ballad it could be all over.

Misha - Very strong performance...but something is still missing for me. I'm trying to find it but I can't just yet. She's definitely the most professional of all the contestants but professionalism isn't all I care about. 7.5/10 Rhythmix - 8.5/10 Marcus Collins - 8/10 Janet Devlin - 8/10 Misha Bryan - 7.5/10 Johnny Robinson - 7/10 Craig Colton - 6.5/10 Sami Brookes - 6.5/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10 Frankie - 4/10 She's growing on me a little each time I hear her.

Rhythmix - That was very fresh and fun....it would definitely be a crying shame if they left the contest tomorrow night. 8.5/10 Rhythmix - 8.5/10 Marcus Collins - 8/10 Janet Devlin - 8/10 Johnny Robinson - 7/10 Craig Colton - 6.5/10 Sami Brookes - 6.5/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10 Frankie - 4/10 You know, I actually went into this thinking I'd like to give a vote to Rhythmix out of pity....but now it would be for a completely different reason. Although I'm not really that into voting at this early stage.....hmm. I think I'll pass and hope for the best.

Marcus - I liked that a lot, it wasn't perfect but there were moments in that where it felt really special. Definitely would like him to stay longer in the contest. 8/10 Marcus Collins - 8/10 Janet Devlin - 8/10 Johnny Robinson - 7/10 Craig Colton - 6.5/10 Sami Brookes - 6.5/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10 Frankie - 4/10

I can't help but feel when it comes to most "joke acts", add another 2 points to a person's score and you get what they REALLY thought.

Johnny - Do you know what, I'm not going to bring down his score just because he's the "joke act". I did actually enjoy that and honestly so far tonight bar Janet his was the most entertaining performance. 7/10 Janet Devlin - 8/10 Johnny Robinson - 7/10 Craig Colton - 6.5/10 Sami Brookes - 6.5/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10 Frankie - 4/10 Johnny actually can sing, and I'm going to give him props for that.

Frankie - That was all a bit of a blur for me really, better than last week but I'm probably less likely to remember this week. 4/10 Janet Devlin - 8/10 Craig Colton - 6.5/10 Sami Brookes - 6.5/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10 Frankie - 4/10 I agree Gary needs to give Frankie a boot up the arse and give him something good to sing.

Janet - Liked this performance a bit better than last week. I know she's has a lot more to give though. I don't agree that she's not capable of versatility either. 8/10 Janet Devlin - 8/10 Craig Colton - 6.5/10 Sami Brookes - 6.5/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10

Craig - Disappointed after last week, this performance just wasn't anywhere near as good as his first. I thought maybe he would challenge for the win....but now I'm wondering if he's more of a Paije than a Joe. 6.5/10 Craig Colton - 6.5/10 Sami Brookes - 6.5/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10

Sami - Ugh Louis is totally wrecking Sami for me. She is NOT the next Mary Byrne. I wish she would do something youthful and fun...it's more her thing! 6.5/10 Sami was one of my favs coming into the live shows, but it's all becoming a bit meh now. :( Sami - 6.5/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10

Nu Vibe - Better than last week but that's not saying a whole lot. I'd agree the performance was bit flat....and I quite like that song so that's not a good thing. Very average. 5/10 Nu Vibe - 5/10

Nu Vibe up for the chopping block. Now who didn't see that coming?

I don't bother watching the US version. So UK it is. They only time I looked at it was a youtube video of some Rachel Crow girl.

Nu Vibe will probably be overshadowed by The Risk.
