If you've seen it US Pace, please don't say any spoilers until the equivalent shows have been broadcasted in the UK. Thanks!

Thanks for this rzt.

Jason Yeager: Moon River dude, has a beautiful son, didn't expect to be in top 24.

I'm watching at US pace, so I won't spoil. But I just can't wait 2 days to watch their performances. By the time we watch the first episode, the bottom 4 have already gone

I watch the whole show on YouTube anyway now so I guess you could say I watch it near enough to US pace

Main thing is obivously the result isn't spoiled on here before its shown in the UK.

It doesn't really matter if you discuss the performance shows before they air here, I suppose.

Who does everyone think is going out this week then?

Im gonna say Danny and Luke for the boys, and Amanda from the girls. I cant pick a second girl yet - maybe Kristy or Alex

I would say Luke or Jason for the guys but I am not sure about the girls ... I think Kirsty, Alaina & Kady could all be at risk if they don't put in a strong performance this week.

I think it'll be Luke and Jason from the guys (if Luke was on the X factor he would definetely make the top 6 , since the audiences seem to vote for anyone who is remotely good lookign , even if they are rubbish )


Kristy and Kady from the girls

I think its ok to discuss the performances in here, right?

David A took the night, imo Excellent!

Michael, the aussie kinda disappointed me last night. I didn't think it was anywhere near his best.

They were a bit harsh on Jason C...but I agree with Paula. It'd be nice to see him w/o the guitar

Nice bounce back from Chicizie and thought David Cook was also good.

Not impressed with Josh or Jason with the blond streak in his hair

oh...and FYI....(in the States)the performance shows this week are 90 minutes each and looks like next week will be an hour both Tuesday and Wed. I'm assuming results shows are still an hour ...

One thing is certain , Kady is gonna get the boot this week.

nothings for certain
but i hope not

Damn! i just read that, but havent seen the performances!

please put that in spoiler tags next time... if you can edit it, please do it, so other people dont see it. Thanks

I want the Aussie guy to win, his bohemian(sp) was amazing.
he better be good tonight.

I don't think I need to edit it rzt. I haven't seen Kady's performance yet. I just think that with Simon pushing Alaina forwards I think Kady will go (I said this last week too so not really a spoiler!)

Oooh the Aussie boy up first. Woo hoo!!

Hmm interesting song choice.

Oh thanks!

I thought that was really good. Turned the volume up! See what the judge thought though...

What is the 'theme' for songs this week, please?

70s.

Simon's not in a good mood tonight.

Ah, OK....thanks Pam!

edit - never mind

I was disappointed with Michael Johns, this week. Too bad her didn't save Bohemian for the weekly shows!

Oh...and when Robbie performs...take a close look at his hair! Rumor has it...he's wearing a wig!

Very good that David Hernandez singing Papa Was A Rolling Stone, very good indeed.

Watching it on mild time delay here. So far, I though Michael was pretty good, Robbie surprisingly good at 'Hot Blooded' and Luke awful at Killer Queen (I totally agreed with Simon saying his problem was he paled in comparison to Freddie).
