Amelia - Losing the distinctive white blonde hair was a mistake. But as far as the performance goes, it was a very solid opener and set the standard for the rest of the night -- 7/10
Johnny - No comment - 1/10
Rhythmix - I expected a car crash and I pretty much got it. Miss Frank are still the best girl band in X-Factor history, despite what Gary Barlow says -- 2/10
Frankie - Didn’t get it at all. Awkward stage presence and a song that he didn’t look comfortable singing. I thought he would be edgier -- 2/10
Sophie - Nice performance. She’s someone who can offer so much over the course of the show I feel. It’s just a shame this silly “twist” will probably see her go home in the first week -- 6/10
Jonjo - Cringe worthy. Below average vocals, hardly any emotion and zero energy. His apparent poor working relationship with Louis does not bode well for him tomorrow -- 2/10
2 Shoes - This is probably as good as it’s going to get from them. It was fun but they are merely making up the numbers -- 3/10
James - I was intrigued to see him perform with his guitar but it was all very under-whelming. It only seemed to put emphasis on his average vocals -- 3/10
Misha - What a talent. Best of the night -- 8/10
Nu Vibe - Good start, messy middle, solid ending. Could be interesting to watch over the weeks. I can only hope the scouse guy doesn’t get a microphone next week though -- 5/10
Marcus - Unnecessarily cheesy. With a voice like his, he doesn’t need gimmicks -- 4/10
Sami - She did very well considering the terrible song choice. I expect her to only get better over the weeks -- 6/10
The Risk - A risk that seems to have paid off. Much better than expected. Undoubtedly the best group -- 7/10
Craig - Hit about 75% of the notes. Likable guy but I don’t see a market for him after the show -- 6/10
Kitty - Average in pretty much every sense. She didn’t really do herself justice tonight -- 4/10
Janet - Not a huge fan of the Ellie Golding style voice but she did well tonight and will go very far in this competition -- 6/10
