I dread sitting through another one of his painful performances - I feel so uncomfortable!

Its similar in Strictly Come Dancing! Did anyone watch that?? Why Fiona and Brendan didn't go I just dont know! She's a lovely lady but their performances are so painful!

Arlene was out of order saying that Fiona was a noose around Brendan's neck, that she would get the Julian Clary sympathy vote, and that she wasn't taking it seriously - hardly constructive or encouraging is it!?

What's that movement that Phillip does when he say's he want's to do rock and roll?

As for Fiona Phillips that woman deserves every bit of critism she get's she ghastly and the reason I gave up watching GMTV.

Fine.. everyone for their own I guess!

I'm not sure to be honest! Probably a poor attempt at an Elvis impression. Like he squints then shakes his shoulder a bit! Weird eh!?

Delighted!

Absolutely delighted that 4Tune have finally gone. The world does not need another boyband, especiall one's that look like frogs and pull extremely irritating grimaces each time they change from one note to another. It's annoying an my Saturday nights can only get better without it. That and the fact they were cheesier than a packet of Wotists...or is that Cheesy Puffs?

There is no way Chenai should have been final two though. I'll agree she wasn't great but there was far worse last night, namely Phillip and Chico.

And exactly why does Shayne have ever so many fans? Can anyone else see that he is nothing to get worked up about and he has to be one of the most unoriginal artists on the show, surely. Last night we got a Daniel Bedingfield carbon copy, the week before we got a highly lacklustre performance of a song that was way too big for him. Suppose it's all the teenie ladies have left now that 4Tune are gone.

Maria is usually good, but last nigh she did leave me a tad cold. I know she can do better. Same with Andy, Journey South and Brenda, they are missing something I cannot put my finger on but are no doubt great singers.

Shayne is a very good singer. He can sing in many keys and I don't see as how he could have done te Bedingfield song any different. He managed to sound different to Bedingfield. He has performed well 2 weeks in a row and I don't know what's unoriginal about him. He's not trying to sing like anyone else either.

Does anyone else think that the judges and the media are building it up and shaping it so that Shayne wins?

It stinks, if you ask me.

Aye, cc100. It's becoming a one-horse-race....with no excitement at all to it. I wouldn't mind but he is nothing special nor different to the market that already exists.

Good looking males generally get quite far on reality TV shows, no matter how little their talent is (not that I'm saying Shayne has no talent). It's the way our quite sickening society is.

I though most people were good last night.Only ones I didnt like were Phillip,Chico and 4tune.Everyone else was brill.I was so relieved that Chenai stayed but think either Phillip or Chico should have gone.
Im irish and everything but I do not like Phillip and I dont like the fact that people like people for where they are from instead of talent.

Personally, I think Chenai should have gone. Each to his own, though.

My 8 yr old Daughter thinks Shayne looks like Justin Timberlake. There's your answer as to where most of the votes come from. She can't wait for him to come on.

However, in his defence, the lad can sing. I don't know yet if he has the X-Factor, but he is good looking, sexy (sorry, but it's true) and he can sing. Maybe there are too many others like him already. JT for one. Maybe there isn't room for more of the same.

Personally, I wouldn't like to see the show get moulded so early on into a one or two horse race. It gets tedious when that happens. I prefer when the public make up their own minds about people. I would like to see more than one of the acts on there making it in some way or another. I agree with what Kiz said about Steve Brookstein. He was forgettable, and alas, has been forgotten already.

I think Journey South have a career ahead of them regardless of how they do in this competition. They have basic raw talent, and there is always a market for middle-of-the-road music, which I'm sure they can churn out no problem.

I would like to see Andy getting a career out of this, but that's mainly because I am working class too, and it's nice to see a binman do well for himself.

I think Brenda is too much like a gospel singer to make it in the pop world. She has a great voice, great personality, etc, but really, can you see people buying into the next Aretha Franklin?

Chenai is a bit of a hit and miss at the moment. I think she can do more. Louis is just sh!te at picking songs for them.

Nicholas was outstanding last night. However, I couldn't help thinking of Anthony in the diary room date when he was going "Lets get it onnnnnnnnnnn"... (Yes, Sorry, I know, I'm a sad BB anorak!)

The conway sisters? Who? .. the groups this year are DIRE! If it weren't for Journey South, they would have ZERO in the groups department. I reckon Simon's gonna lose another this week, when the conway sisters fall on their face again!(Does anyone think the one in the red dress looks like that other ugly irish bird from B*Witched? )

As for 4tune, one of you mentioned the odd faces they pull when they sing, and I totally agree with that. I cringe for those boys when they are up there. They have all been whacked once or twice with the ugly stick, and the faces they pull just make it worse. Also, what's with the perma-tanned one? He wasn't that orange in the first audition was he????

Philip seems to fancy himself as some sort of new-age Elvis. I would imagine that's what all the shoulder jerking is about... although if he intends to do some "rock n roll" and "dance" (and I use that word loosely), I reckon we are in for some comedy next week, and not intentional either!

However, despite my obvious shine for the lovely Shayne, I do think that Maria has the most talent overall, and should win. She has everything. She is gorgeous, she can sing, and she has superb stage presence! She is a star already.

Which only leaves one person I haven't yet mentioned... and I will leave that to my red signature to explain....

Am I the only one that thinks Brenda is notas good as the judges say? She's a nice enough lady even if a bit mad lol but I am never really that impressed with her. She would make a good backing singer but I just don't see the star quality.

I think Simon's going to be left with just one act for quite a while because The Conway Sisters just don't really cut it. I felt that they failed to show the true emotion of the song 'You raise me up', they just seemed to shout it and look rather angry.

Journey South seem such humble guys and so far they have really impressed me. I like both guys voices but think that the younger one should be the lead vocalist.

Chenai is a wreck, every week she cries and I am getting just a bit sick of. She has had 2 poo song choices but she's not lived up to expectations.

I hope Andy goes a long way, he done well for two weeks but is proably better suited to singing ballads. I am suprised that he's never been given a record deal before now.

I really like Nicholas and have done since his 1st audition. He just needs to keep singing the same type of songs each week. He's could go on to have a great future and he's up there with the American R'N'B singers.

Philip is the least original singer on there, he just want's to be Elvis and he was rubbish last night.Just seen that Louis think's he's a young Cliff Richard Simon rolled his eyes to that one.

Maria has a great image and a great voice. She will go far!

Chico never fails to make me laugh. Not the best voice to say the least but he's great entertaiment and adds something to the show. I look forward to seeing him each week.
