Jack Carroll and Martin and Marielle from that for me. Alice will be a shoe in, though.

I've paid very little attention to the current series, so the only act I know and am therefore interested in watching there is Jack Carroll.

Why would Simon choose Jennifer Lopez to appear on his show when he can drum up some X Factor USA promo with Demi?

For me he is one of the weakest acts tomorrow, there are some very good acts on. The only reason i can see him going through is because of sympathy, i'm not being an asshole, that's just how i see it.

If Martin and Marielle do as good as they did in their audition then they must go through. I would also like to see MckNasty go through just because it's something different. Sadly i can see another singer going through and that singer will be Gabz Gardiner.

They are both performing but we don't know which day is JLo and which is Demi?

Jack Carroll definitely. Considering two singers went through last night I wouldn't want a repeat. Probably Martin & Marielle alongside him.

Kids seem to always get a few extra votes just because they're kids, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Gabz Gardiner, Jack and Cormac and Jack Carroll as the top 3. Though I think Alice will proabably take one of the places, though personally I wasn't a fan of her, her whole shy act just seemed false to me.

Am I the only one to think that Jack Carroll was vastly over rated? Is he not getting a lot of extra attention because of his disability, combined with the fact that he's a child as well? I'm almost afraid to voice this opinion for fear of being jumped on by the PC brigade, but I genuinely didn't find him that funny. Some of what he said was mildly amusing and came with a bit of a "shock factor" because he was sending himself up, but I thought the roaring with laughter, in particular by Amanda, looked rather forced. His whole act in the audition was based on him making jokes about his disability and I feel that this will very quickly lose it's appeal. Maybe he'll surprise me tonight and come up with some different material, but if he doesn't, I feel his appeal will be extremely limited.

What we should ask ourselves is would we actually find him that funny as a child comedian, if he weren't disabled and making jokes about himself?

I think Modupe definitely has an unfair disadvantage, we only heard a tiny bit of her act on Sunday whilst we had 5 minutes or so of people like Meat Diva, Alice and Jack. I don't remember MckNasty getting long either.

I thought she was pretty good, even if she was singing Justin Bieber. But I guess we already have a lot of singers that have basically sealed their places in the final.

Jack & Cormac may have a chance if given the right song, include harmonies and the nerves don't get to them.

That is how i feel. People with a disability always say they wanted to treated equally so that is what i will do.

I think he is over rated, i didn't laugh at all at his jokes and i think with the competition he has got tonight he really will struggle to go through.

Modupe was given so little air time which is not right. This kind of thing also happens on Fix factor. When the competition reaches this stage all the contestants should be given the same amount of air time. Hope she does well tonight.

That's a tad harsh. If they had no talent they wouldn't have gotten this far.

It clearly shows who this show caters for when all the 'entertainment' is from the tweenie pop world.

Don't usually want dance troups through but hoping the one tonight might.
Can't see McNasty getting through.

Really though its going to be Alice and another.

Don't like the rest.

His entire act his based around his disability. It's funny for the first joke but when the whole routine is based around similar jokes it just becomes tedious.

I think he'll struggle tonight a d the judges will probably give him polite comments but nothing too OTT (which is to be expected, he is only a kid after all).
