OMG LAUREN

And that second performance from Che, unfortunately, won't save the mess he made in the first performance or his fantastic voice. Now watch the judges totally overrate that performance.

I think 4th Impact's performances, and -- if I'm being truthful -- the piss poor performances of the other acts (except for Lauren) has saved them from being in the bottom two.

Performance one: 01 Lauren 02 4th Impact 03 Reggie n' Bollie 04 Louisa 05 Che

I'm sure there are those in the UK who know of Carrie, but regardless, she's got an outstanding voice and surely is deserving of a place given her success on and after American Idol. In her homeland, she has gone on to have a career that all the contestants should want. As for Rita... EW.

He'll probably go low top ten, though I expect his Spotify showings to be stronger in the next few days. Kiss Me Quick didn't fair well on streams so I don't think anyone expected him to do well on Spotify with Over And Over Again. His streaming will be a lot stronger today than whatever it has been in the past few days, though.

Love Yourself up to #2 and Sorry back up to #1 combined. Nathan is 1% behind Fleur.

Pleased that Olly is top ten even after a lukewarm performance. Kiss Me seems to have at least outperformed Hand On My Heart, which was on the original release of Right Place Right Time, but its reworked single version was promoted as the launch single for its special edition release.

Is there some genuine 4th Impact hate or do people just think they aren't doing too well? On other forums there seems to be a lot of bashing in regards to their cuteness. I don't think it's an act at all. Performance wise they are still strong but not as good as in the start. I hate that Che is singing this gorgeous Alicia Keys song. Urgh. I like him but he needs to stop with the vocal acrobatics. AAAAAAIIIIIIeiaiaiaiaiaaaaaAAaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA :lol:

Glad Reggie n' Bollie got through. I'm not sure whether Che being bottom two is surprising or not. At this stage they are all very good (except for Anton).

Nathan already up to 5

Nathan made Olly look like shit, and Olly is very, very good. (He was unusually nervous in that performance, though.)

Thanks for the combined update, Jay! Their X Factor performance was a bit rubbish tbh, but I'm glad that Rudi & Ed are top ten; hopefully with their decent streams they can go top ten officially but I'm doubtful. Expecting Nathan to be #5 after his performance tonight as well as Olly in the top ten.

Yes, I know that, but it's a silly and terrible twist that has no merit. :P

I think they called out each act in order of the voting table to be honest. It doesn't seem unrealistic for 4th Impact, Anton and Mason to actually have been in the bottom three. They probably were. Also, what was up with tonight's voting format? It was horrible. Ten minutes to vote, if that? :huh: This show can't stick to its own rules that it keeps changing. I'm sick of all these double eliminations, although the Rugby World Cup really screwed up the show's formatting this year.

I'm not very happy that Mason is gone, but he left around about the time that I expected him to; and as his fan, it is fair, however, that he can now be detached from The X Factor because of all the acts he had the biggest vision and idea of what kind of artist he wants to be. I think sometimes the judges misunderstood that, and the song choices that he was given didn't benefit him during his most recent performances. Anton has now given the two worst performances in the history of The X Factor to me; that One Sweet Day rendition might have been worse than his All About the BOOTS performance. His hormonal state tonight is what got him through; I bet that he wasn't far from receiving the least amount of votes. I hope he leaves tomorrow. He is truly awful.

:lol: Nathan is doing fine, and he will increase in sales obviously after X Factor. I didn't expect it to go top ten personally. And it's barely top thirty on overall airplay.

6 songs from 25 already gracing the top 1500 with their presence :D Really hoping that Mr. Sykes can hit the top ten as Kiss Me Quick should've done. Here's hoping that Fleur's instant grat does well.

When you are as hotly hyped as Adele and have an album as massive as 25 will be, you don't need to follow new trends. She doesn't need Spotify and Spotify doesn't need her.

Top 10 - 2 excluding the album version of Hello, so 3 Top 20 - 4 Top 40 - 5 Top 75 - 6-10; thinking 8 UK - 600-700k US - 2m+

Nice to see Miss Fleur on the brink of entering the top twenty and looking like Sax will be a success in streaming. :D I am wanting Little Mix to pick up on their streams for Love Me Like You; even though I'm not a huge fan of the song, I want it desperately to go top ten officially because it has been f***ed over by its on air on sale release, a disadvantage that Black Magic never had. I know that Justin's streams are very impressive, as are One Direction's, and the instant grats are holding up very consistently, but I didn't expect some of those album tracks to take falls that sharply just yet, even when it is completely unusual for a record's album songs to have such high streams.

I haven't liked a single performance so far. So dull.

1 One Direction 2 Justin Bieber 3 Elvis Presley 4 ELO which we have all underestimated 5 Little Mix 6 Ed Sheeran 7 Rod Stewart 8 Kylie 9 Jess Glynne 10 Ben Haenow The Beatles will plummet despite their documentary airing; it doesn't seem to have helped the sales of 1+ on Thursday that much. On the other hand, Elvis had a great week this week, increasing his sales; next week he will more than likely lose many of the sales that he gained from his documentary. Ellie Goulding's daily sales in the past few days have been tragic; she will plummet way out of the top ten next week. ELO seem to have more hype than we thought, and are doing well on both the Amazon and iTunes front. I still think that people are underestimating Kylie's first week sale, and we have overestimated the impact that x will see from Ed's re-issue. Jess Glynne's Children In Need exposure will give her album a healhy sales increase, but not enough to climb admist all of these powerful new entries.

As I said in the odds thread, I could see Seann providing a shock exit. The right decision was made. Mason was there because it was a double eviction; had it been a single one he would've got through and people would've been all 'WHAT?' Seann is one of the best, and he will have a great career in theatre, not in music.

Does Kiera and Rn'B being interviewed before that break confirm that they are bottom three? Hmmmm... Fleur SAWED OFF PEOPLES' HEADS. SHE SAAAAAAAWED.
