Gorgeous, strong vocals. Emotional, but determined delivery. It was amazing. Spellbinding in fact. Yet she gets booted with a some patronizing comments from Nicole and Gary to go with it. It was the wrong bottom 2 in the first place but she slaughtered Union J. I'm not even angry at this show any more, I'm disappointed and I don't care any more. Jade was the only contestant there that had real superstar potential. She had the look, the voice, the soul, the backstory that gave weight to her appeal. Every week now, I've disagreed with the sending homes. I'm not going to be excited about any one left now as I was about Jade.

Who's left to look forward to next week? Drippy Kye? Soul destroying Chris? Non entity Rylan? Dull District 3? Over rated James? Only Jahmene, Lucy and Ella have any chance at a decent career. It's like a star quality vacuum otherwise. Yes they are all technically competent singers, but with Jade gone now the competition is much worse off.

I feel the same as you, Jade is the only one I was rooting for. I honestly thought Gary of all people would save her given the comments he usually gives her.

You do realise that people have a chance at a decent career even if they are not one of your personal favourite acts?

Realistically, Jahmene, Lucy, Ella, James and the boybands all have a chance at a decent career. So no, you're not psychic and don't know that the acts you don't like wont do well.

It was an emotional performance from somebody who knew she was doomed and was never given a fair chance in the competition.

The judges were probably too busy whispering to eachother and that gollum like producer slithering about on the floor telling them to vote her off and not paying her any attention.

It's the X Factor, what do you expect?
No offence...but who do you think will sell to/attract the teenage girls market, a single mother who's Confident and sexy, or a cloned version of every other boyband out there?

It sucks, but that's how it is.

How will James have a decent career? He's just Matt Cardle but less interesting and creative. And much as I like Matt his career hasn't set the world alight. The boybands will go nowhere because 1 Direction is already doing their jobs, successfully too.

Saturday she had to chance to shine as much as any of the other contestants, but her performance wasn't strong enough. It was the voters that put her in the bottom two.

Gary's comment was as ridiculous as ever "I feel I want this for you, more than you want it yourself" what an absolute load of complete and utter garbage.

Of them all, she comes across as wanting it the most, Chris is "doing what the voters want" Ella is doing it all because "she's only 16" Rylan is there to "Av it" Kye is there in one last ditch attempt at fame, Jade seemed most determined, most willing to push her own boundaries, but Gary keeps the boyband.

Ridiculous.

Jade was my favourite but i've come to get used to my favourites going quite early! lol There's something about soulful distinct voices that don't last on X Factor - you need to either be a powerhouse or a Vickers/Janet type. There's no place for an inbetweener

She performed beautifully and in terms of an artist should have been saved.

She was excellent and no way should those lads have won.
They can't sing and they all do that thing where they stand so stiff and keep bending over with their arms sticking out. They look stupid.

I hope Jade goes far, she deserves to.

Who would be the Voters? From the last couple of years X Factor antics voting must have fallen off, as anyone with half a brain can see that the Judges aka Producers, will always save the acts they want to keep or give them a "buy". No point voting until the Judges are unable to step in. This year we are seeing the inevitable outcome of this. I can imagine who is left voting and could easily believe that the most votes cast each week are for Chris Baloney.

We had this discussion last year, we had it many times before that. Viewing figures are down.
Each time they **** up like this the show loses viewers.

You are all right. Now vote with your remote.

Don't get all this Jade love myself, I found her extremely boring and was surprised she lasted as long as she did.

Both white guys with a guitar who won't sell because they have no credibility in the music markets that they are trying to break into. Both seriously over rated, even if they are good.

I'm fuming.
If she had done that bottom two performance on Saturday I doubt she'd have been near the bottom two.
I loved that bit of attitude she gave to it, where was that the day before? Though no doubt she was probably saying 'screw you' to the judges in her mind as she knew no matter what happened she was done.

Am gutted for her, I hope she has a future outside of the X Factor, she deserves it, she has a fantastic voice and looks great.

How nice. What exactly did I say was stupid? Going on the track records of singers like James on ALL these shows across the world, he won't have a career. But if you don't want to accept that or reply then good luck and good bye.

Well..

Both white guys with a guitar who won't sell because they have no credibility in the music markets that they are trying to break into. Both seriously over rated, even if they are good.
1) Both white guys? Really?! You're using that? Well sure, in that case James is also the same as Joe McElldery.

2) Guitar? Well, no. Contestants have only been allowed to use instruments this series.

3) No credibility? Are you going to bother explaining?

4) Over rated? That's simply a matter of opinion so doesn't mean anything.
