Rebecca wasn't as good as they'd have us believe last night imo. Wasn't anything special as per usual.

Thought that both song choices for Mary were poor last night, Louis did her no favours whatsoever. The first song of hers reminded me of a drunken hen on the kareoke machine and her second performance went wrong from the first note and went downhill from there.

Cher's song choices looked good on paper but she failed to deliver yet again. Average voice and below average rapping ability in my opinion.

It's going to be a close call between the two of them but I think that Cher will scrape through to the final next week.

Cher to go - Mary is a nicer person and in my view is a better singer (unaided by autotuning and backing vocals).

Being 17 is no excuse for being obnoxious.

Can't disagree- even ill Mary sounds better than Cher and her attitude just makes matters worse

Cher to go as I dont think a rude 17 year old girl is a good role model and if she stays then many yung kids will think this is the way to get something.

I hope Cher goes too

I don't like her attitude either

Cher won't go because people dislike her- she'll only go if the other acts get more votes

This is why people need to throw Mary a vote

I take it we're talking about Cher here. No-one else fits the description. But I mean whats all the comments about dancing/not dancing. What the h*ll does it matter if they dance around or not. I mean no one complains about Mary not dancing around. I mean lets be fair, if it's so important then why is no-one suggesting that Mary do a little jig or two?

This is insulting to Rebecca, she was streets ahead of both of them, ask anyone who is neutral. Mary wasn't very good but Cher was awful, the judges should be slaughtered for saying different.

mary has always been pub singer ish, she has an ok voice but is never going to be a chart topper, can u imagine the queues outside wembley for her gigs? thought not cher needs to stay or this contest will be tv valium, shes not the best singer in the world but has the all round package and with training she could be exceptional. i cant STAND rebecca, with her eyes closed and hand up 99percent of the time she thinks shes whitney houston or leona lewis,shes not, also cant stand the way she nods in agreement everytime someone compliments her like shes saying 'yeah i know' one direction are ok but just another boyband, theyre ten a penny and there are many undiscovered who are a lot better, matt is good but i think he lacks star quality

you do know there is only one week left so really that excues about the show going to be dull is a load of crap.

As for Cher is going to be exceptional that a matter of opinion and I think she rubbish cant sing very well as for the rapping I have heard a hell of a lot better on youtube.

And about Rebeccas looks whats that got to do with it??? She not going to be standing in everyone living rooms singing when they buy her album. so really going on about looks is sad. as its the music people buy albums for not looks.

Mary well who knows if she will fill out wembley. what I do know she a lot better singer than cher is so is well in the right to have vote thrown her way if people want to.

It's a bit annoying that Cowell keeps lavishing praise on a 17 year with a bad attitude.

are u serious?: mary reminds me of a relative a a wedding singing danny boy with no music, when the lights have gone down, and everyones had too much to drink - or a karaoke queen, a singer she may be but not a star! and i didnt comment on rebecca s looks, i commented on her stage manner

no need to be insulting

And you may think Mary looks like she belong at someone wedding but IMO Mary is the better singer. She never hit a bad note or gone out of key unlike Cher who hit many bad notes and was out of key a lot last night aa well as other weeks. .

I'll go one step further and say that Cher is crap as well. Can't sing, can't rap...can dance a little.. but won't go far!

What's left is actually quite poor, I agree with that.
The show may be past its sell by date!

whos being insulting i said thats what she reminds me of, does that mean youre being insulting to cher?

actually i just had an idea when i said she could be a karaoke queen, maybe her and wagner could release billy ocean's carribean queen and call it karaoke queen - reckon it d be a number one

I'm neutral, that's my honest opinion . I don't have a favourite this year. Rebecca's performance was insulting after that VT and her vidoe diary. She didn't exactly let her hair down did she?? At least Mary was able to shake her hips and she also sang well.

Mary is good but the last couple of weeks she has lost her wow factor. She is a great pub singer for sure but she has not yet attained the heights her earlier performances suggested - and she is too unpredictable with her vocals that now I feel a little uncomfortable when watching. A case of "oh god she is going to crack again, then do the affectation thing mid-song etc"

Oh well, there's always one. You obviously don't like her at all so you are not neutral.

I'm genuinely confused?!

Why does being honest and saying this is the third week running she had been poor mean i "obviously don't like her". I really liked her at the start and it's frustrating because i know she can sing so much better than she has done recently because we've already seen how fantastic her voice is. I'm also sure she is able to move more than she did last night.

I'm not the sort of person who picks a favourite and then enjoys every single one of their performances and votes for them because i'm a fan regardless of how well they actually performed, or in this case didn't perform. I've praised her loads in the past so there's no "obviously don't like her" about it.

Well I can't comment about voting because I don't vote.
I have, however, enjoyed most of Rebecca's performances apart from Beatles week, when I thought she was weak.
She is the only reason I am watching this pathetic show.

I want Cher out tonight. She should have gone when she was in the bottom 2 as Paige was miles better in the sing off.

I no longer vote but i'm speaking hypothetically.

Well i'm pleased for you, i really am, but why do i obviously not like her, eh??

I fear she is going nowhere, I am hoping that Rebecca is OK.
