    Beyoncé is going to b**** slap Cher with her Sasha Fierce iron glove for f****** up her husband’s song.

  2. Gyannistar October 16, 2010

    Sarah & TreyC very talented ladies!

  3. MCboy October 16, 2010

    Wow! These acts are really gettin better n better!! Look at Rebecca! wow wow wow! I have absolutely luvd it!! She’s my fav…treyc, adeleye, one direction were all good too…now the other ones…hmm…noooo…cher & diva fever should hav gone by now…n paije has an interesting voice but i don’t feel any passion when he’s singin…he sings those songs as if they were so easy to sing that i just can’t feel that he’s feelin what he’s singin…

    Rebecca >>>> Everyone Other Contestant.

  5. Dunster October 16, 2010

    Rebecca is the only one that did it for me tonight. TreyC can sing but theres nothing interesting about her voice, its almost the kind of voice that belongs in a group or a backing singer.

    Cher! Gabriella from miss frank was better than her last year but didn’t make it through as a solo act. Her urbanism are starting to get on my nerves… also, she can’t sing, i’m sure that the girl from ndubz can do better

    Loved Paige again. Will be voting for him every week.

  7. GETMELOLLY October 16, 2010

    1 – Rebecca
    2- (Hate to say it) Katie
    3 – John

    Aiden Scares me, I think he may be capable of killing someone.
    Cher needs to ‘hold a fresh’ , she just looks dirty!!!

  8. Lady Honest October 16, 2010

    John sounds good nice voice, Mary and Matt were good too, I know a lot of people like Rebecca but I don’t like her voice, she seems like nice girl though.

  9. truthfully October 16, 2010

    Mary killed it for me…just amazing..rebecca has a good voice but she’s boring when she preforms…cher needs to go, katie has stepped her game and CHER is Still trying to act like a thug when she lives in a posh house…really now

  10. FUTURESTARdelux October 16, 2010

    REBECCA TO WIN.

    X FACTOR IS SO S*** NOW…

    LEONA’S YEAR WAS GREAT

    ALEXANDRA’S YEAR WAS GOOD

    JOE’S YEAR WAS OK

    THIS YEAR IS S***

    cher certainly isnt the best vocalist here. im not certain this was the best show for her seeing as this show has mostly been about a contestant’s pipes. the major difference between her and the others is that so far she’s been more of an entertainer. she seems comfortable on stage, she’s moving around more than some of the others, she is engaging the judges and the audience. its very clear that she’s in her element and is enjoying herself immensely.

    i would like katie to go home. that was the worst i’ve ever heard that song performed. i don’t get her. i was almost distracted by the ears but that passionless rendition didn’t do it for me. the lyrics speak of a desperation and heartache that her wafer thin voice was unable to convey. perhaps she is better off with generic pop? Old school rhythm and blues does not seem to be compatible with her capabilities.

    rebecca’s confidence is growing from week to week and i love it. she has such an expressive voice and im looking forward to seeing her next performance. she definitely has a niche and im really really hoping that she is versatile enough to pull off contemporary music with as much credibility.

  12. phard October 17, 2010

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Completely agree about Cher, she’s the only one that kept my attention. How far can she go in a singing contest? Well, that remains to be seen but she certainly, in my opinion holding her own.

  13. Daniel October 17, 2010

    KATIE WAS AMAZING!!!!! SORRY GAMU BUT SHE OUT CLASSED YOU.
    Katie deserves to be there as does cher. Also that TreyC has a record deal and should be kicked her as shes broken the rules!!

  14. truthfully October 17, 2010

    ummm, simon bought katie from her old record deal….so they will deffo keep her on for a long time….for publicity….

  15. Shirleena Johnson October 17, 2010

    No one is perfect, Everybody needs a second chance. I’m not perfect, but i’m perfect for you.

  16. hunni2nice October 17, 2010

    i loved matt, john, paige performance the best…mary was mary same old but not denying that she has a good voice just doesnt do it for me. I absolute adore one direction sooo cute and i like belle amie wasn’t feeling the song tho! And the less said about cher the better im sorry but that was borderline criiiiinge!! shes just a wannabe try hard being all “ghetto” but those faces she pulls reminds me of nicki grahame (big brother contestant) not a good look honey!

  17. Ayo October 17, 2010

    Best Performance: Matt (Winner of this year’s X factor), Treyc (best vocal) and John (good singer and believable).

    OK Performances: Love Rebecca and when she’s on she’s on but her vocals can get very shaky in places. Respect Katie cause she stepped up her game. Mary has great vocals but I don’t know what market you could place her in, her siging can come off a bit caberet, I feel like she should do theatre. Paige still needs to work on his breathing and watch out fo when his doing them runs cause he can get a little crazy and carried away plus his styling is whack, stop with the crazy jackets please.

    Not intrested: One direction have the look but can’t sing however, in todays industry that’s not so much of a problem (SHAME). BELLE AIME I just don’t think they’ve geled yet and they need better song choices. Aiden I knew he couldn’t sing I mean it worked for him last week cause his performance was all mad and it went with the song, but I knew as soon as that was gone he would stuggle. Cher, from day one not impressed. Diva fever and Wagna (the novelty acts) need I say anymore.

  18. Lashieee October 17, 2010

    Gna chek owt cher’s performance l8a on youtube…ha popularity sure is dropping tho…last wkz performance ì had on replay!

  19. MUSIC LOVER October 17, 2010

    I like Matt, but I prefer Bruno Mar’s take much better. I still One Direction and Aiden. I’m rooting for Mary. It’s all about the underdog. TreyC and Rebecca has good vocal performances.

  20. Dunster October 17, 2010

    I think Danni made a good point. She said to John that without all the performances, outfits and extras, with the lights down and you were just singing you can sing.

    I think thats the deal for me. An outfit can be nice, a hair colour. album cover and video. But when i put the cd in the player and listen to the voice, thats the most important for me and Cher doesn’t have one, even more than Katie.

    Music isn’t about prancing around on stage, it depends what kind of artist you are.

    The comment about Gamu is stupid, how can you judge on what you dont know? Shes not in the competition so what are you comparing it to? She still sings better.

  21. Carl October 17, 2010

    Rebecca and Treyc need to watch that Cheryl and demand better song choices.She has them on one spot singing ballads not letting them dance or perform the way she does Cher.Plus both their songs were performed last year.Cheryl wants her mini me Cher to win so bad but dont vote for her or Katie support the sisters.

  22. Peterke! October 17, 2010

    I don’t really have a favourite yet. For now, no one compares to Alexandra Burke and Stacey Solomon. At least that’s what I think.

    Best performence of the night:
    Week 1 – Aiden!
    Week 2 – Treyc!

    But although I don’t realy have a favourite yet, I do have acts that I realy like and hope they will come far this competition. Those acts are:
    Aiden!
    Cher!
    Matt!
    Treyc!

    I also like Mary, Katie and One Direction, but not as much as I like the other four.

    I hope the bottom three this week will be:
    Wagner!
    Belle Amie!
    John!

  23. Daniel October 17, 2010

    Chers still getting the most youtube views, Mary and Matt are the best ones.

  24. Irina October 17, 2010

    I think the whole “I’m a hip-hop fan” act of Cher is running out. Thanks for making a mockery for what hip-hop stands for by singing a song you have nothing in common with! Not to mention, could you have chosen a song that requires a bit less singing than that?! Bleah.
