My choices:

Boys:Austin,Scott, Liam.The only two who really impressed me tonight were Austin and Scott, Austin's been very good the whole way through and since bootcamp Scott's really started to shine.Out of the other boys I just don't like the tone of Mali's voice, the other two young lads aren't ready for me but the only other choice is Alan and his voice is pretty weak in my view, so I opted for Liam.

Girls:Alexandra,Laura,Diana.Alexandra's easily the strongest vocally in my opinion and showed that once again last night.I've been a bit undecided on Laura but she gave a very good performance tonight.I've never taken to Hannah or Anastacia.Amy's got a really pleasant voice but it's not strong enough.Diana wasn't at her best last night but there's something different about her voice that makes me like her.

Over 25's:Rachel,Daniel,Suzie.This is pretty much the weakest category this year.Rachel's got so much raw talent but I question whether she can perform to the required standard each week.Daniel's a nice guy with a good voice but I cannot see him having much success in the charts.Ruth isn't really my cup of tea.I've never liked Louise's voice.I just don't see any star quality in James.That just leaves Suzie who I quite liked this week but haven't been that into in the past.

Groups:JLS,Bad Lashes,4 Instinct.The Groups aren't that great once again this year.JLS however are one of my favorite acts left in the competition,the falsetto bit at the beginning was annoying but after that I was really liking their take on the song, they are a proper group.4 Instinct are a group I've quite liked the whole way through, thought they gave their best performance last night too.Priority didn't do too badly given the lack of rehersal time but no way do they deserve to go through.That leaves the three girls groups, up until tonight Desire were my favorites of three but they were dire to be honest.Girlband just seem very average and quite bland to be honest.Bad Lashes have improved each time and seem to have a great chemistry between them.
