Don't go in for a show like the puke factor if you want to be taken seriously as an artist and don't do the "this really means so much to me, I've wanted it all my life, it will help me get out of the poverty-trap me and my family are in, my mum's only got one leg etc etc" routine in the hope of clawing some sympathy votes as you just lose any scrap of self-respect you have left not that you have much in the first for agreeing to go on a show like this.

Oh that's to all of them, by the way.

seriously LMAO!!
my advice...
chenai- lose the sympathy act "doing it for my brothers to get them out of bradford, dn't want them growing up there- *wipes away tear*" does that mean she's gonna take the money and run?

nicolas- Look like you're actually bothered to sing, bring your personality out.

chico- quit half the dance moves and sing twice as good

brenda- do what you're doing girl. Get to the final!!

maria- stop bending down to your knees when your singing, did you see a pound??

andy- what a forgettable perfomance last night, sing a faster song

journey south- go along the lines of Desperado. That was your best performance.

shayne- stop sucking up to Sharon, don't answer back the judges coz you're not perfect so listen.

conway sisters- thought they were great last night but the other 3 girls need to sing more.

maria - you looked fab yesterday keep with that image. The first 2 weeks you looked a little tarty. Also try and show more emotion when your singing.

Andy - Your growing on me but you need the right songs. The only performance of yours i truely loved was the one you did in week one.

Brenda - Your doing really well i was never a fan of yours initially but now i think you are fab, def my fav in sharons group

Chico - No comment

Groups:
Conways - work more as a group sometimes you all sound a bit off tune together and i think you should try singing a fast song the ballads are boring me.

Journey South- come across like really genuine guys! stay grounded and you will go far.


under 25s;
Chenai - loved your performance last night, i wasnt going to vote till nearer the end of the comp but i did end up voting for you Make sure you pick songs you are comfortable with from now on and you could go far. However if you pick the wrong songs you will go

Shayne- you do have the x factor but the more arogant you appear the less attractive you are becoming, loose the Mr vein act and you'll win!

Nicholas - Loose the attititude your not and never will be as good as Marvin gaye, Micheal Jackson and whoever else you think are.

Brenda- Unfortunately, the public won't vote for you to win as you are not a "fit" white male. Quit to get yourself maximum exposure.

Maria- Unfortunately, the public won't vote for you to win as you are not a "fit" white male. Quit to get yourself maximum exposure.

Chenai-Unfortunately, the public won't vote for you to win as you are not a "fit" white male. Quit to get yourself maximum exposure.

Conway Sisters- Unfortunately, the public won't vote for you to win as you are not a group of "fit" males. Quit to get yourself maximum exposure.

Andy- Unfortunately, the public won't vote for you to win as you are not a "fit" white male. Quit to get yourself maximum exposure.

Nicholas- Unfortunately, the public won't vote for you to win as you are not a "fit" white male. Quit to get yourself maximum exposure.

Chico- Go home and stop embarassing yourself.

Journey South- You are not going to win because Simon won last year. Quit to get yourself maximum exposure.

Shayne- Unfortunately, you have already won, as you are the "fit" white male. Save yourself the bother and stay at home. You will win anyway.

But then, if you're right...then it's a shame. I think you may well be right...

I also think that Bekhesh could be right on this one.... However:
Chenai: You look like a bag of nerves. Get a grip and find the power and emotion that you were showing at boot camp and you can still win this.
Chico: Let me pick the songs and you could stay in the show for several weeks. Song for next week should be the Herb Alpert classic "This guys in love with you".
Andy: Something not quite right here. I am inclined to agree with other posters who recall the attack on "false" Steve by Sharon. I hope I am wrong about this guy.
Maria: Fantastic voice, technique. Saturdays vocal was flawless, but you leave me cold. I think you are probably the worlds best backing singer. If you had the emotional appeal of Chenai you could be a star.
Journey South: Not rated by me until now but after Saturday could be dark horses to win.

White? Yes.
Male? Sort of.
The rest is hugely debatable.

You took the words out of my mouth.

There is something that doesn't quite sit well with me with Andy and I get the feeling that Sharon's attitude towards him would have been the same as towards Steve if he wasn't in her group and that her attitude towards Steve would have been different had she mentored the over-25s last year.

I found Steve far more pleasant and unassuming than Andy, despite being far more entertaining and having a voice that would wipe the floor with Andy's, and a hell of a lot more genuine with it.

Maria is exactly that, a good backing singer, nothing more. Her voice has no warmth or any other characteristic and she has zero charisma or any other appeal.

Chenai: Don't listen to anything Louis says about song choices. Work on your confidence. Lay off the "I'm doing this for my family" routine. I don't find it annoying, but other people do. Take Simons comments as constuctive criticism, and try not to backchat. I don't find it annoying- quite the opposite-, but other people do...

Chico: Run around the stage like a headless chicken, and don't even bother trying to sing. Stop saying "It's Chico time!" as it's bl*ody annoying.

Andy: I can't fault your perfomance. However, please sing a more contemporary song next time. You need to prove that you can fit into todays market.

Maria: You were absolutely fantastic last night. I didn't really think much of you until now, as you didn't WOW me before. I love the song Piece Of My Heart, and you certainly did it justice.

Brenda: You were my favourite by far last night. Midnight Train To Georgia is one of my favourite songs of all time, and you sung it sensationally well. Simon was spot on when he said it felt like you weren't singing someone else's song. What more can I say? You were simply amazing!

Shayne: I was never a huge fan of yours, and never will be. However, I thought you were great last week, and totally deserved to be there. You chose the wrong song this week, though. Simon was right when he said you need grit in your voice to sing Summer Of '69. Your performance was very bland and awkward. Stop being so flirty with Sharon as it makes me feel ill.

Nicholas: You did a very smooth performance last night and just breezed through it. Like Simon said, you need to be pushed every week in order to discover your true potential. You should also lay off the backchat as it did make me cringe a bit. Simon was being constructive with his criticism, and you should take it like a man. You are really growing on me though.

Conway Sisters: You shoudn't even bother turning up next week as you'll deffinitely be going. You're crap basically. You'll never improve enough to become credilble artists.

Journey South: I've never been a fan of yours and never will be. You should go back to singing in pubs and travelling around in your camper-van. That's all you're good for.

Chenai - Stop this "I am from the ghetto" lark, and quit now.
Shayne - Whip your shirt off and stop flirting with Sharon.
Nicholas - Improve your diction
Journey South - Keep up the good work.
Conway Sisters - Keep up the good work.
Maria - You've finally chose the right song, and keep it up love.
Andy - Try something powerful.
Brenda - Keep it up babe, you're one of a kind.
Chico - Quit while you're ahead.

I might not always agree with you sometimes Zip, (I love Shayne ) but I think you are right about Andy.

The Conway Sisters - sack your stylist.
Journey South - Please stop shouting, you're really starting to scare me. I keep think you're going to burst something.
Andy - Try to stop being so bland. I thought you were great when you started.
Brenda - You're ace but you're not going to win. Shame, really.
Maria - Buy a top with straps on. I fear for your cleavage...
Chenai - Stop crying. It makes me think that YOU think that you're rubbish. And it's irritating - get a grip.
Shayne - Take out a restraining order on Sharon.
Nicholas - They described you as 'the new Craig David'. Is that not a good enough reason to get the hell out?
Chico - Words fail me.

as for the judges

Sharon - Not everyone is 'fabulous'. Try to understand constructive criticism.
Louis - Get someone else to pick the songs. And grow up.
Simon - I can't give advice to Simon Cowell. It wouldn't be right!

I agree she has a fantastic voice but she needs emotion.
I really don't understand why Simon is constantly praising her shes not all that IMO.
