I can't wait until tonight! Most of them have chosen great songs. I can't wait to listen to VWS, Cassie, Steve, G4 and Rowetta - they've all chosen favourite songs of mine.

My phone bill might be expensive tonight!

VOTE VWS OR ROWETTA!

I'm having a bit of a struggle here.

I really, really like Cassie (my fav from last week), but if she messes up tonight, will I vote for her? Probably not.

So team while we wait who do people predict will be in the bottom two tonight and who will go? (obviously it does depend a certain amount if they fluff up tonight on stage) but hey no harm in guessing!

I predict the bottom two will be Two To Go (definatley) and Verity (probably).

In this case Sharon will have the deciding vote and get rid of Verity.

Verity to go. Enough with the sympathy votes. If the sympathy votes carry on, we'll have a final with Verity and 2 to Go.

Albeit before we've seen any of the acts perform, crappy choices of song for Verity (two weeks in a row) and G4.

Verity is turning into a cheesy big ballad queen, whereas she should be doing much classier, more subtle and simple love songs. She simply does not have the voice to carry off Whitney Houston's arrangement of I Will Always Love You. Dolly Parton's acoustic original would have suited her breathier voice far better.

And G4 are in danger of becoming a one-trick-pony novelty act, opera-fying songs that you wouldn't think could be opera-fied. OK, first time you hear it, you think "Ooh that's clever!", but you can't make serious careers out of it. Louis needs to pick modern standards that suit their style rather than shoe-horning everything into something incongruous.

Although I think Verity doesn't deserve to win, I would like her to stay on because she does have potential with the right song/arrangement. I hate Tabby with a passion for all that he represents, but constructively, Steve also should be going as nice a guy he is, we don't need another identikit Will Young. Rowetta to win!

Who will be in the bottom two?
2ToGo
Verity

Who will go?
2ToGo to go

I absolutely agree. She has a lovely voice - but the not the type of voice for these songs I don't feel.

U seem to have mentioned all acts but my fave two: VWS and Cassie. I guess quality just speaks for itself.

Oh gawd....me too! This is awful, at my age. I think I have an OCD thing going on with PI and X Factor. I wish someone would get a PhD done on this and tell me what's wrong?

I promise myself every time that I am not going to get involved as much but I just get pulled back in. There is a better variety of acts this time around too.

agreed. I think it's interesting having groups and older contestants - adds that extra something for the viewer. O yeh btw did you know that this show was originally gonna be called "No Talent Required" but they changed it to "X factor" because ITV thought it would put people off.

LOL - how awful! Listening to pop music and having fun, at your age. Definitely time to see a psychiatrist.

Ok...lol. However...there are some side effects here.

1) Neglected children and husband - at least the kids have their dad to 'entertain them' and we do all watch the X Factor togther

2) My share of the housework is....errr....in arrears.

3) I look forward to this all week

4) Sore arse from sitting at the PC on Saturdays

Add me to that list. I am a little more under control this time though.
During FA2 by this time of day I was feeling sick. Couldn't eat. Did wonders for the waist line though.
