Out of all the acts tonight, who shocked you? Who did you not really like before or had an opinion on but really did surprise you tonight?

For me it was Diana. WOW I never liked her before because of that stupid Christina screech she kept doing but tonight she didnt and she sounded fantastic and I loved her personality.

Bad Lashes. They really impressed me with their vocals and they all looked fantastic.

The family group whos name has suddenly escaped me, singing the jackson song. Thought they were so much fun and loved their vocal.

Oh and also Suzie who I thought sounded great but is really missing something... Don't quite know what.

Otherwise my previous favourites Ruth, Rachel, Alexandra and Laura didnt dissapoint me.

Laura, i thought she was going to mess up.

um 4instinct i love them they are so cute,

badlashes were good,

still love rach, alex and jls!

I quite liked Diana before, but she really annoyed me tonight. I couldn't listen to a whole album of that breathless singing.

Alex shocked me because I already thought she was amazing, but she surpassed my expectations.

I still love Rachel though.

The boys were just dull dull dull.

Love JLS too - they were brilliant.

Laura - was half decent for once.

Laura, as she stepped it up when she needed to... Rachel, getting worse with each performance, almost like she thinks she doesn't need to try?

OMG!!!

I thought tonites show was amazing!!

Alexandra really was the best tonight, i was literally speechless when she was singing! I can only imagine how spectacular she could be if given the chance to sing on the live shows!!

JLS were the best group by far in my opinion, their take on "No Air" was really great. I just thought they set the standard for the groups this year.

Eoghan, Bad lashes, the older man that sang lol and laura i thought were really cheesy and average!!

Laura was the best of the night, IMO.

Was shocked at how bad Priority were.

GIRLS:
Laura - She messed up last week but made up for it tonight.
Diana - She's a mix of Christina and Avril Lavigne- AMAZING [My second fave after Alex ]
Hannah - Didn't like her at first but she was great tonight.
Alex – Gave me goosebumps. I can say without doubt that this girl will go far I just love her

Not fond of the boys this year - Alan and Austin make me cringe

OVER 25'S:
Disliking Rachel more and more.
Suzie was good but it wasn't her best.
Not bothered about the rest.

GROUPS:
Like every year the groups were not all that.. BUT I liked:
Badlashes - Gave the best performance out of the girl bands.

Bad Lashes left me like .

That version of Wonderwall was gorgeous. I'm not usually fond of the groups as a whole but I hope they get through - I'd definitely back them if we got more performances like that.

Priority are dire. And what's worse - I actually think Louis would be stupid enough to put them through.

Alexandra was very good I thought Priority were dreadful, singing Umber-ella ella ella

I think the only group which has any potential is JLS and maybe the group with brother and sisters. The other boy band is shocking and the girl bands...i cant even remember them TBH.

Alexandra is streets ahead of anyone else in the competition at the moment. Also love Mali and Rachel, Liking Eoghan, Diana and Laura. Hannah's a good singer but I don't see her having really wide appeal - more of a singers' singer. I forgot to mention Ruth - really like her too.

Laura, Alexandra and Austin were excellent and Hannah surprised me . Bad Lashes good too and JLS

I knew Alexandra was very very good, but I had moments before declared Laura as the winner - Alex will win this hands down.

In my eyes she went from very very good to excellent tonight, and I hope she wins

Sinitta. What on earth was she wearing?

Not alot by the looks of it.

I like Rachel, I still do but she has fluffed once too many. Alexandra was great.

She looked like this year's Turkey in bacofoil.

lol you beat me to it

LMAO

I think the singing shown so far on xtra factor is better then that on x factor!!!

Press saying today that Alex has been put in show as a 'ringer'. She is well known in the record industry apparently.

Bad Lashes. On previous occasions I've found them quite high pitched and quite whiny voiced but they were actually vocally quite good tonight.
