4th Impact and Cher Lloyd are in danger, if they don't get your votes they could be going home.

So how did you pick which songs got through none of mine were picked!!!!!

I only recieved one song choice vote from Black Xmas so I used that. Did you put song choices through for the next week because I have tried to get a song from everyone in. I had about 5-6 on the latest one so I decided which one would suit best but on the first one I only recieved one PM.
