I picked Rachel. She's only had one decent performance.

She has been hampered by some bizarre song choices form Danii but I think, and hope, she looks back on this and sees she hasn't done herself justice.

Rachel, looking at what she has done in the live shows I really think she shouldn't have made it onto the show. It's really starting to look like she only still in because of her sob story.

She should have gone last week.

Rachel in the way of performances and Bad Lashes in the way they left so early due to a shocking song choice.

Rachel, Girlband, Bad Lashes, JLS and Scott have all been disappointing IMO, based on what I expected. However, I've voted Rachel, because JLS have been OK mostly, and the other three were the first three out.

biggest dissapointment this year has been ALL the finalists except Alex (who looks superb in comparrison to the competition)

The rest have been average at best and down right awful at worst.
How many weeks are we into the finals and yet still the judges make comments like "you should be singing off the end of a pier" and " for you Daniel that wasnt BAD!!" hell nobody this far in should be anywhere near bad.
Diana is still in despite holding her head in shame at probably the worst ever performance given in any talent show ever screened (bad voice or not ..if sh'ed have done that at auditions the judges would had shot her)

Rachel always sounds as if she's in labour, although habits of a lifetime will probably never change, she should stick to being the best karaoke singer at her local drop out centre.
JLS are a bit like Arsenal, look pretty, sometimes play pretty but the end results are just consistantly not anywhere near good enough.
Ruth survives on the basis she is nowhere near as bad as the rest, but Im sure each week there are probably 100 or so better singers in the audience than her.
Eoghan I'm sure gets most of his votes from short sighted sheep dog lovers who think its one of there own performing on stage instead of Crufts.
Altogether this years X factor has been a comedy Peter Kay would have been proud of, the judges so blind or deaf that you can only laugh at the comments they make prior to the ultimate descions on who goes through at the end.
Daniel is someone who "cant sing with average at best peformances" (Louis Walsh, quote) and who put him through?
And the show producer and chief judge Simon Cowell calls this a singing competition, yeah right Simon, just like the X factor is an entertainment show.

They are all rather disappointing lately. There's been very few performances this year that wowed me. People like Leona and Rhydian impressed me nearly every week but this lot are giving quite forgettable performances. I hoped this year would be the best ever but it hasn't turned out that way partially due to losing talented contestants like Austin and Laura so early.

I agree with the last two posts. This year was supposed to be a strong year yet there are mediocre singers still with a good chance of winning.

I totally agree with Angie's assessment of Diana performance on Saturday. That performance wa, by any stretch of the imagination, bad and its time more of Dianas fans admitted it.

Quite a few have said it was OK. It wasn't. It was terrible.

Also some have put it down to her 'illness'. With or without her 'illness' it was still awful.

Ok is just 'meh' wasn't good wasn't bad. I have listend to it a lot of times now, and it's still 'meh' but it wasn't awful, IMO, it just wasn't her best, us fans know she can do so much better. Apparenlty she is better now.

It wasnt even OK. As has been pointed out, if she'd have done that at the auditons she'd have never got through. It was THAT bad. Yet three of the judges in assessing the performance simply climbed up her ar*e instead of doing their jobs.

But IMO, and others it was 'meh' it was ok, it wont put me off her. I said on the night Rachel and Alex were by far the best, which they were. That's the judges fault, not Diana's. When Eoghan sung the Love song out of tune, most people on here and on other forums said it was awful and out of tune, but none of the judges said f all, now that's up his bum, at least Simon said to Diana it wasn't good.

By failing to give a proper assessment they're giving the acts the impression they're better than they actually are. Its noticable that Diana and Eoghan are the faves and always get positive comments. Is it because the judges think they're actually as good as they're saying or is it because the judges want to get behind the potential winners thus giving the impression they could see the talent all along? Who knows? But I do know the viewers are not getting a proper talent contest and I'm going to criticise acts that are being overpraised and fans who are blindly following mediocre acts.
