Cannot see another thread on this...if there is apologies as I was going to add my comments to that.

Loved the lady from 'Reveal' magazine tonight...she had Simon spot on. And saying that Nicholas was a combination of Lemars voice and Craig Davids looks was spot on...the two don't gel, but spot on anyway.

A bit fed up of the Chenai bit where it was a lot of crying and stuff..but maybe that is cos I am a cynic and have not wanted Chennai to be in from the start..sorry Chenai fans. (I wanted Trevor and Alexander)

And loved the 'Chakra' lady...I am going to study crystals and sort myself out!

And Chico doing his 'Mr Universe' routine? My mum phoned me as she did not know what he looked like before as she does not get the papers..and she was shocked as to how he looked then!

I have to say, I hate that Mr Universe look..I much prefer him now.

And one more thing..I am not a fashion expert.....everything I buy is on a whim or from charity shops...but are below the knee brown boots in for the winter? As all the girls bar two had them on?

Just wondering...got to keep up my fashion sense..even though I have none!

Yes, I've been watching Boho.

And, yeah, I'm afraid knee high boots over jeans are in this winter. I hate the look personally. It looks a bit tacky. Knee high boots and knee length skirts are far nicer IMO. But, anyway, I digress.

Good show tonight, but I fear that image of Chico will give me nightmares. I've never seen anything as repulsive. He was hilarious though at the start of the show.

And, god, did anyone else hear Nicholas doing his soundcheck? It was dire. I think he's in big trouble tomorrow night, and I can see him and Chico in the bottom two.

I've just mentioned about Nicholas in the Andy song thread! It was dreadful, wasn't it? And so was Chico, he seemed shocked, almost as if he didn't recognise himself, what was that all about? His hair!

I did actually feel for Chenai throughout that video from her family. I know how I'd feel if I was away from my family all the time. And, god, when her Mum was showing the picture of her grandad, I thought *I* was going to cry. If anyone showed me a picture of my gran, who died recently, during an emotional moment, it would floor me.

I'm not much of a Chenai fan, but it must have been emotional for her.

Chenai's video was rather emotional, and anyone would begin to cry in that position so I hope it's not brought up again when people are being critical of her and saying she cries all the time. It was very sweet, and I'm sure she's glad to know she has lots of support at home.

Glad we finally found out what Andy was singing

The JS, Chico and Halloween bits all amused me.

Anyone else notice on the clip they showed about Halloween, that Mel Blatt didn't seem to want her face to be seen?

I noticed it first time round when I watched 24/7 on Wednesday, but thought maybe I was mistaken but no when I watched the Xtra Factor and they showed it again, she definitely hid her face.

Unless, of course she was hiding the fact that she couldn't stop laughing when the Conways did their rendition of the All Saints tune of course!

I must admit I'm finding the pull at the heartstrings and don't you feel for her (Chenai) spots rather tiresome.

Meanwhile we have Andy who has buried his mother carrying on and not asking for sympathy.

I know who I feel more empathy for.

No Wezzo I wouldn't bring up her crying over missing her family and when her grandad was mentioned she did get more upset. That was totally different to other times when she has cried

I agree that Andy's "working-through-the-sadness" tactic makes me like him more as a person in some ways, but I really like Chenai too and it's the show's producers tugging on viewers' heartstrings - after all, she certainly didn't put tonight's video together, and I could tell she was truly moved by it.

edit: glad you agree, Melanie

OOOOHHHH Gillypoots that wasn't very nice to the Conway's was it Maybe she had them big fluffy earphones on and didn't want to be seen with them on.

I noticed she didn't seem to want to be on screen though, I wonder why

Had she didn't realise that, I must keep up with the news. I thought she hadn't seen them properly for ages

Shyane was so miserable. Not even one smile from him throughout the programme.

I think that Chenai was feeling pretty hurt by what Simon said to her. I think that Brenda and Maria were right and that Chenai attempting to use her age to excuse her performance was a bit lame.

I noticed that - thought it was wierd the way she held part of her costume up to her mouth all the time.

We were debating in this house whether she just didn't want to be seen, whether she was trying not to laugh, whether she'd had some major dental surgery and all her teeth had fallen out, whether she'd had collagen in her already huuuge lips and was trying to hide her Lesley Ash look a like mouth or whether she was using her costume like a child's comforter.

Whatever - it made her look very bizarre.

Noticed he looked very grumpy - like he didn't want to be there.

The chakra woman looked a bit scared of him.

Perhaps he very sensibly thinks the whole chakra thiing was rubbish?
