Of course I understand. It's like Louis keeping his own acts in no matter what, it is the done thing to support your act. That's the X-Factor.

I'm not surprised she's favourite. It’s about time. The two performances she gave on Saturday must rank as the best two performances ever given by one contestant in the same show.

There are too many people saying she's too similar to this one or that one etc. I think that’s bull. I don’t remember Leona putting in two performances like Alex put in on Saturday during her whole time on the X-Factor. I agree with the voice coach, Alex is different from Leona and at this stage in her career is showing more adaptability that Leona - Where as Leona won singing 13 or 14 ballads in 16 performances, Alex has already proved she's can sing ballads, up-tempo songs and dance while singing. I think she’s potentially as good as Leona if not better.

I wont forget her two performances on Saturday.

She was criticised before the judges realised how good she was. It didn't take long for them to change their minds.

According to the X-factor insider on This Morning, the votes are really close, and it sounded like Alexandra and JLS are in the bottom two. She was stressing that people need to vote for them if they are going to make the final. Thing is if she not urging people to vote for the witch and the imp, then they are already in the final.

I wasnt over keen on her version of Toxic the second song was good but Id never heard of it not my cup of tea. Shes a good singer but not worthy of the gushing that happened on Saturday I just think they were trying to get her more votes as it would be a travesty if she went b4 Egg or JLS

Diana's only talent is murdering perfectly good songs with a squeaky voice while rubbing her left had gently down the side of her face.

HAHAHAHAHA Red I love you, that's going in my signature. Ahahaha.

Well Ruth on the Radio and the TV has urged her fans to vote for Alex, while saving enough votes for JLS to get through to the final.

Have you seen anyone put in TWO performances like that in the same show? If so who?

She's going from strength to strangth. She sang two completely different type of songs and adapted her performance accordingly to give two completely different types performances. She was awesome on Saturday. She did something that no one has ever previously done on X-Factor. Even Leona.

You're kidding right. Diana hasn't put in a good performance for at least three weeks. Surely you must see that she's peaked and is on the downward slide.

On to Leona, Leona may have sung ballads better than Alex but Alexs consistently good performances when given up tempo songs give her the edge. I remember Leona dancing to Could it be Magic; laughable is the only word I use to describe it. Compare that to Alex dancing while singing Toxic. Theres no comparison. Alex has shown, at this early point in her career, she can put on a show with high quality singing and dancing. She not just a ballad singer or a quirky screechy wailing singer. She's a talented all round singer and entertainer . If she could tell jokes then she'd be perfect.

I don't think it matters who wins in between these two, their both gonna get recording contracts. They're both fantastic in different ways.

What edge? Even Louis has picked up on the fact that she does the same thing every week. And for Louis to pick up on it then it must be obvious. I almost dread her performances because I know exactly whats coming and I have to brace myself for the screeching and yelping.

Just because her voice is distinctive it doesn't mean all he songs will sound the same. Otis Redding had a very distictive voice. To the point where you can easily recognise his voice after just a few seconds of any track. Rumour has it he NEVER sang the same song the same way twice.

Her fans should stop making excuses for her.
