I agree. I think Simon was spot on last night when he said Diana has the most relevant voice, and thats the key. Alexandra has a powerful voice but Leona Lewis showed us last night why she isnt even in her league. A powerful voice is great, if its a really good voice, otherwise you just dont stand out in the crowd.

Yes but if the the reason you stand out from the crowd is because you are some kind of croak voiced freak that after to listening to her sing for more than 2 minutes wants to make you smash the the into tv to little pieces that ain't very good.

Maybe for you Rammy but not for the masses, people are talking about this in a betting concept and you cant argue with the fact she has the biggest support, the show is gearing her up to win (imo) and she is favourite.

Simon Cowell is usually a good judge (pardon the pun) at this stage of the series. From the last Pop Idol onwards, he gradually warmed to Michelle McManus after previously being lukewarm, to that bloke that won it last year (can't even remember his name), when he did exactly the same thing, having previously slaughtered his ealier performances. Cowell knows how many votes each contestant gets every week and can make an educated guess at who the public are rooting for.

For me, the final 3 will be:

JLS
Diana
Eoghan

Alexandra will get put out by Louis' tactical voting, something I'm fairly certain of, going by what he's done in the past.

They'll be singing Take That songs tonight on X Factor.

There's suposed to have been a row between Danni and Louie - He wanted Rule the World for JLS but Danni got it first for Rachel - or might have been Ruth   .  

JLS got the last single from the last time round - that I can't remember (their Goodbye song).

From elsewhere:

Quote:
The song choices for Saturday's X Factor have been revealed.

The contestants will be singing classic songs by reformed boyband Take That, who will also perform their latest single 'Greatest Day' for the ITV1 show.

Speaking to Chris Moyles on Radio 1's Breakfast Show, Louis Walsh confirmed that his act JLS would be covering 'Back For Good'.

Walsh had hoped that JLS, his only remaining act, would perform 'Rule The World' but Dannii Minogue managed to secure the song for her act Rachel Hylton.

He also confirmed that Eoghan Quigg will sing 'Never Forget' and Alexandra Burke will perform 'Relight My Fire'.

The judge added that Diana Vickers would probably be performing 'Patience', but criticised her performance last week.

When asked whether he thought Ruth Lorenzo could win, Walsh replied that it was unlikely as she is "Spanish".

How on earth can they have a Take That week?

What the hell has a pathetic, overrated, talentless bag of shite like that ever done to allow them to provide the songs this week - Motown, Swing, Celine Dion, Tony Bennett, Michael Jackson (just his songs admittedly, though they're hardly going to let him lose with a 16 year old boy are they?) and now this!!!
Ok they brought in Leona Lewis, but she needed to plug her latest single and she's a past winner, but Take That?

Talk about the sublime to the ridiculous.


They must be really struggling to get special guests.

Hi Archie,

Alexandra has been having problems wiith her voice this week, hope she's ok for tonight

Really cant see Alexandra being in the bottom two over the next few weeks before the final so Louis wont get a chance to vote her out.

Nice hatchet job on Alexandra having her sing Relight My Fire. Tonight could be her night to exit.
