I've heard before that 'Elton John songs are really hard to sing' but suspected this was just a myth and thought everyone would do really well. I was wrong. I definitely think that was the poorest week yet.

My thoughts on the performances (know you might not be interested but need to get it out!):

Paije - He sang it well, but it has to be said - it was really, really boring. I felt so sorry for him when the judges gave ther comments though, cause he's so sweet and he just looked completely crushed.

Aiden - I thought Rocket Man would really suit Aiden so I was pretty disappointed. I feel like it could have been really good and I don't think it was his fault at all. I love Aiden's voice and I just love him in general, but they did that really annoying thing where the backing track is so overpowering you can barely hear a word the act is singing. The arrangement seemed to me like just a bit of a mess, and it was a little too fast for Aiden. I think if it was slowed down, and the backing track was a lot quieter, it would've been brilliant. I should just be a mentor for this show, really.

Katie - I like Katie, but this was awful. Again, it's not really her fault. It was quite obviously the worst song Cheryl could have picked for her. I think she could have done Your Song well actually. It was way too fast, and they did the annoying overpowering backing track thing again, so you couldn't her anyway. Like Aiden, she needs something slow with a quieter backing track.

Matt - He was really good, as usual. I don't love him as much as everyone else does because I don't find his performances particularly interesting, although he seems lovely as a person. But yeah, he was good, not much else to say about Matt.

Cher - Probably my favourite performance of the night. I thought she sang it really well, the mash-up worked well and I love Mockingbird so it was just all good for me.

Wagner - The best part about Wagner's performances is watching the judges faces. Other than that, uh, not a fan of Wagner. It looked like some weird tribal ritual was taking place? I hope he goes really.

One Direction - They were really good, although eveyone's acting like they were amazing and much better than usual, and I don't really see it to that extent, to be honest. There's just something very likeable about them.

Rebecca - She was really good, but not as good as she usually is, I didn't think so anyway.

Gonna be voting frantically for Aiden then. What are all your thoughts on tonight?
