Both deserve to be in the final. Both were miles better than the others.

They were actually the best two on the night. Matt was poor and predictable, Emily was just static and erratic

They were far superior to the other 2.

Matt is just the bland bog standard pretty boy with the charisma of a plank and Emily might as well release 'NowThats What I Call John Lewis'

Emily is very predictable. Saara and 5AM were in a different league

I agree. Saara was incredible but I also enjoyed 5 AM this week. Matt was a huge disappointment to me. :-/

Actually they are all predictable and do the same thing week in week out.
5am do the same slick moves and uptempo songs but they were good tonight

5am are overrated. There is never a time when the three are singing together and they're not drowned out by the backing singers. It's all very fake.

Saara was phenomenal, and I always personally enjoy Emily since that's my preferred style of singer.

There were no backing singers on their first song!

5AM have been weak throughout. One hugely popular song and another that's easy to hide in isn't going to change that.

The gap between these two and the others was too wide.

Saaras Christmas song was a theatrical masterpiece and for once she avoided her usual great star but quickly tapers off performance. I biwve she saved the tapering off (without great start) for her second song which could have seriously harmed her chances. 5AM although they put in an amazing performance with Stay (much better than their cheesy banity until then) but soon reverted to type with song number two, and to think they were saved over Honey is unbelievable. Although taki G both their performances as a whole were better than Saara I have to place them bottom for cheating. Just because a song is Christmas Number One does NOT make it a Christmas song, if it did Matt would have been better off singing a Bob the Builder/Mr Blobby mash-up which would've been better than his two lacklustre-at-performances. The only highlight of the night for me who despite a safe performance with Lennon totally nlewxeveryonecelse out the water with Mad World, plus we had the added bonus of seeing her bare feet again (yum).

So overall my placings look like this
1 Emily
2 Saara
3 Matt
4 because of cheating 5AM

therefore if we have a bottom two Matt should go as 5AM are better and shouldnt go because Louis is a cheat (I guess he lost his rulebook)

They were the strongest last night that's for sure.

I found Emily dreadful myself, completely flat. Matt was decent vocally but boring I totally agree with Simons comments about his second song. Poor choice.

The OTT judges praise for 5AM were ridiculous, they were once again miming through the performances with loud backing track.

Matt is getting predictable and boring but singing wise it wasn't the worst of the night.

Anyone praising Emily's Mad World rendition should take a look at Adam Lambert's version on American Idol to see how it's done!

Therefore, by process of elimination, Saara defaulted to be the best of a bad bunch on a truly pathetic year.

I think 5AM did have backup in the first song when all of them sang together. It sounded like there were more than three voices in the harmony sections. They were fun though, even if they get tons of help vocally and that put them above Matt and Emily for me this week.
