I hope he will too I'd like him to make the tour cut off, so he can experience that.

I hope he's a dark horse this year... he's not being hyped or talked about too much so hopefully he can go out there, do his thing and show everyone just how good he is.

I'm sure he'll make the tour. It's way to early to tell yet, but the likes of Katie and Storm will probably be out first, possibly one of the groups and John from the Overs and while Matt seems to be the favourite boy, I think Aiden could last longer than Nicolo.

Very happy with the confirmed song choice for Aiden this week...

Really looking forward to tonight. I think it'll suit Aiden really well.

Me too!

So excited for tonight.

I actually didn't like him after his audition. He grew on me a bit during bootcamp and judges houses. But after tonight... wow! I think it is time I joined this thread. I love him and how awkward he is. He seems like a really swell guy with a great voice too. Hope he does well.

That was wonderful!!

Well done Aiden

Amazing performance...i loved the crazy, demented look...it fit the song very well....and he set the mood & drew the audience in with it. So chuffed to see him doing well

He's got something, odd but good, I liked that!

Aiden was so good tonight! I'm really hoping hes in the final

I really liked Aiden's performance tonight. He's quite an awkward/shy person but I actually find that really endearing about him. He's definitely one of my favourites.

(He's also bloody gorgeous!!)

Loved, loved loved Aiden tonight Not sure about the silly trees on the stage but he was really amazing. Actually I was quite worried that he wouldn't really make an impression just because he hasn't got a lot of media coverage or airtime yet but I think after that I think a lot of people will start to take notice of him.

Aiden is the #1 trending topic worldwide...twitter crowd being very, very positive

Feeling smug that I said I believed Aiden would prove to have the X Factor in the 7th post on this thread.

He certainly proved it tonight, and is now the favourite to win at all bookies with his odds shortening as we speak.

Well done.

I'm coming in here to proclaim that I love Aiden - he's certainly my favourite by a mile and I think there's something very special about him and his voice . I can't imagine him making it to the end at the moment, but I hope he'll make it a long way and will have success in the future whatever happens . The best of luck to him!

He was the one singer to centre attention tonight. That took some doing. It helps that he had a great song but it still needed singing -- and he gave a very intense, focused performance.

Aiden was the most successful on Twitter for sure! I loved his performance! He's not really a moody singer like Mad World might make him seem, but he is quite introverted and it was really captivating! Of course being introverted gives the potential for a stunning performance later on where he comes out of his shell Really great and still with potential to improve, very happy!

Just watched it again and it really was amazing. I know that there's a lot of discussion of Adam vs. Aiden but honestly both are amazing versions and I think I slightly preferred Aiden's

He was amazing tonight, he was one of the one's I hadn't rated before tonight and was annoyed he got through over Paije but I take it all back after tonight, maybe the only one of tonight's performance and made my hairs stand on edge

Honestly didnt rate him, but tonight WOW, I'm won over.

A wonderful performance tonight from him.. gone to my no 1 now . Actually surprised there arent more positive comments here after it as well?

Performance of the night and if he continues my pick to win now

Excellent performance of Mad World

Agreed!

At first, Matt was the only contestant I liked this year, and honestly thought it would stay that way. But Aiden blew me away tonight.

I honestly didn't like his audition (mostly down to his song choice). But his bootcamp and judges houses performances made him grow on me. But tonight he became my solid favourite, along with Matt. He puts so much emotion into his songs, and going by his last 3 performances I like the direction he is taking. Hopefully they don't force him to dress wacky, do crazy dance routines and really up tempo songs. He's perfect the way he is.

Also, I love how awkward he is. I'm also extremely shy and act a bit odd when too much attention is put on me. He seems like a really sweet guy and I really hope he does well.

My sentiments exactly. Aiden was brilliant. I've just re-watched the entire show and it's obvious why he is now bookies' favourite to win.

He's got the X Factor, no doubt about it. The other boys are hit and miss—he really shone.
