what a travesty!
i am sorry but I and lots of people I know, thought Dionne had fantastic vocals and we got to know quite a bit about her through various interviews.
all i know about the macdonalds is they are wedding singers and vocally they don't deserve to be in the final twelve. but yet dionne went before them!! and on the xtra factor they were going on about how next week will be a good week for the groups. well maybe for eton road it will be, but they will do their usual boring performance

I cant believe Dionne went instead of the Mac Ds. Dionne wasnt great tonight but she was loads better than them. I wouldnt want them singing at my wedding. Nice guys though they may be, they cant sing, have no stage presence and no charisma

I don't know about the MacDonalds I thought they were pretty good tonight, the poor guys needed it

But for Dionne to have polled the lowest votes, I don't understand it what has she done for people to dislike her? I thought she was great and she has a brilliant voice too, I'm baffled

She should not have gone tonight, I think both Kerry and Ashley should have but not Dionne

I can't work out whether people are voting to wind up the judges or because they are a couple of pleasant inoffensive lads. I think the public tend to try to protect the acts that have a rough deal from the judges even though their comments are deserved. I hope these people realise they will big these boys up and then no-one will be interested afterwards

Despite being Scottish - I really that the MacDonalds should have gone before now. Seem really nice guys but veeeery average club/pub singers. I might have them at my wedding though - if they're cheap!

Nor would I, but I wouldn't say no to them performing at my funeral on the grounds that:

1 I'd be dead and wouldn't have to hear it

2. It would get most of the guests weeping

From what I've seen I like the brothers as individuals but my toilet brush has a greater X Factor than they do.

Yes, Dionne going first is a complete travesty but I'm sort of used to it now

Can't be bothered with these shows when this is the type of result we get. Surely it's time we brought in a 4 tier voting system with 4 different votes. One from each judge and one from the public, a bit more like the Strictly Come Dancing voting... the judges each choose their top 5 (not including their OWN acts)...

I really thought Dionne was a great singer. The McDs are not. Bizarre.

200% agree. How bad a decision was that?

Have to admit now.,..the Macdonalds are tripe, but when they get it right, they are spot on. It's rare though....haven't seen this in the live performances, but hope they can pull it off in future.

*waits for backlash*

Scottish person speaking here - yep you're right they're 'mince' (Scottish saying for tripe) Plus when have they ever pulled off a good live performance?

Dionne went because this week, just like every week, she's been terrible in her overall performance. She's a decent singer, but doesn't have the X-Factor.

And Maria and the Conway's? Maria may be a better singer, but that night she gave two bad performances while the Conway's were good, thats why she went.

After the Maria incident and Brenda not getting into the final last year, I have zero faith in the British Voting Public. So Dionne going before The MacDonald Brothers comes as no surprise to me. She's so good.

Dionne doesn't look as good on stage as some of the other contestants, but she definitely has one the best voices in the past 3 years of xfactor.

If Dionne and MDs had their song being played on the radio, then Dionne would sound a 1000000 times better!

Dionne has the basic neccessity of a singer - an incredible voice
Anything else like stage performance can be worked on

I cant believe she went out before the mcdonalds brothers-yet another good act leaving while they remain
she was never gonna win it , but she should've at least gone a bit further,I liked her it's a shame she went so early
