I think this was a bad night and I put that down to the songs chosen in the main.

Sam Callahan was good and put on a show at least, with a song marginally more likeable than the others that didn't need spot on vocals.
Sam Bailey really stole the whole show, she looked a real professional performer.

Nicholas was good vocally but what a dreary performance,Hannah was rather weak sadly, I actually found myself thinking back to when Mary Byrne did that song on X Factor and she was miles better than Hannah.

Abi was good when singing more strongly but her quieter vocals really let her down and spoil the performances.
Tamera was okay, a hard song to do but I prefer it done the 'Julie London' very sensitive way.

Rough Copy,not for me,I don't even like their harmonies and I really dislike that song so much anyway.
Luke did seem out of his depth as in fact most of them did but he did a good performance.

I think any of them could be in the bottom 2 this week,I will be voting for Sam Bailey, Luke and Sam Callahan but I haven't a clue after those performances who will be in the bottom 2 or even who should be.
An at best fair X Factor, the music great but the performances average at the very least from all of them with the exception of Sam Bailey who was miles ahead of everyone else tonight.
