You know how it works now guys.....
Here are my views on the preformances, in order of who I felt was best tonight, and feel free to add your own at the end ......

Eton Road Ok, so I lied up there ^^ I don't actually think they were the best tonight, but they were very good, and I love them, so I kind of feel like a traitor if I said they weren't the best (Tweenish I know ). Bless Anthony tonight, for not telling his family about his chest infection, because he knew it would upset his nan. And for not using that as a makeshift excuse/sob story as he could have done. Just wanted to give them all hugs tonight. I could have shot Louis for having them do dated choreography to a Beatles song, of all songs. He knew that if it went wrong, it could go very wrong. Why oh why didn't he either cut the choreography, or give them a different song? I hope they stay.

Nikitta I know this was the whole point, but her VT made me cry. I know I've probably said this before, but all the more so because her mother died from the same illness that mine survived, so it always hits home when I see things like that. I'm not going to play up to Mr Nasty's ploy and vote for her (I'm voting for Eton Rd (!)), but I do think she is a million times better than Leona. In every way. So, Leona may have a stronger voice, but as I've said before, Nikitta has personality, and the ability to sing many different types of songs, not just ballads. Sharon was right, she looked amazing tonight, the song was a million miles away from last week, and it suited her loads better than 'Dancing Queen', one tip though lose the cheesy backing dancers!

Ben His best performance so far IMO. The only bit I really didn't like was the cheesy bit in the middle when he leant on that girl in the audience. (Who was so obviously a mole ). I'm not quite sure why he played his acoustic guitar at the beginning though, perhaps it would have been better if he had just sat on the stall for the beginning? His VT made me feel all emotional too. I don't know why, but to see grown men cry always makes me well up too.

Robert One word : Fantastic. Give the boy a bit of emotion and look what he can do. His VT didn't make me feel that emotional ,but it was a genuinely sad story. I think I liked this performance so much because he didn't over react it like he has done previous ones. And how long did he hold that note for in the middle/towards the end?! Stunning. He deserves to make it to the final ahead of Leona on that performance, if not that note, alone.

Ray All swinging and cheesy as per usual. My mum wasn't impressed with the 40 year old teenager. Still, I'd rather hear him swing the alphabet than have to sit through last weeks performance again, anythings better than that.

Leona :yawn: Yet another ballad. We all know Simon loves her We all know she has an amazing voice When will it end? (Although admittedly, she was in actual fact one of the best tonight.) If she's ever in the Bottom 2, whoever she's up against might as well not bother performing for a second time. She's going to walk it. (Unless Eton Road can snatch it away from under her nose )

The Macdonald Bros They may be lovely guys, with a lovely family, but it was like bad kareoke wasn't it? Why they are still in there is beyond me. At least the guitar was left at home tonight though. They may as well leave now, I'm sure they will go home tonight. (Go on GBP prove me wrong )

Overall verdict: Eton Rd drew the short straw. And why did Robert call Kate Thornton "Man"? (As in "fanks Man") Is there something she's not telling us?

Ben - I didn't like it, I thought he struggled with the opening because he actually had to sing in a normal voice rather than husky and shouting, I didn't like the bit in the middle with the girl, but he wasn't the worst tonight.

Nikitta - 50/50. I don't like saying she was bad because I really like her, but she hasn't stood out from everyone else. I think her best performance was of 'Heaven Must Have Sent You' and she hasn't really been as good since, I hope she does get through tonight though.

Ray - amazing! He loves the crowd, and even though he isn't brilliant I'd rather see him doing the swing thing than the MacDonalds doing whatever it is they do. Louis needs to stop saying how he should do something different, because Ray makes the song his own, Ben always sings in a 'rock' voice whether it's love, ABBA or whatever. The MacDonalds dont make the song their own, they just 'sing' like it's a Karaoke.

Leona - wow. She is amazing and deserves to win, no-one can say she doesn't have the X Factor, Simon standing up clapping. I loved her performance tonight and love her voice.

Eton Road - I liked this tonight, but it wasn't as good as last weeks and I didn't like the part in the middle, it wasn't really needed but they got better towards the end and could have done with not having that bit in the middle of it.

Robert - I don't like him, but tonight he was the best by far. His best performance of the series and I liked the way it was for his sister and the fact he said at the end it's also for anyone who has ever loved, it was great and nice to see him not jumping around the place like a lunatic. No way can he be in the bottom two this week.

MacDonald Brothers - awful.
