Just having a quick catch up on the performances I missed, Olly was good, Lloyd was really bland but Miss Frank impressive.

Jamie to win the man is fantastic. but cant wait for westlife

Cheers Fairfax - that was me that kept banging on about it - it was driving me nuts

Hoping Stacey does well tonight. Ooh Westlife on squeeeeeeeeeeeee

Rachel, now I see what people meant about her trying to copy Stacey after the judges comments.

I thought that she was copying Stacey but no one I mentioned it too agreed! Maybe she is thinking that if she is more loveable she will stay in?

I;m not bothered about Westlife but looking forward to Michael buble

I find Stacey very annoying with her drippy act but thats what she is like and also vocally you can't fault her.

I did cringe when she kept on about how great it all was.  I think it was just relief that she  had got good remarks from the judges, but it's going to be all the worse for her this evening if she's in the bottom two again.  I really like her, though, and I liked both her before and after looks.

Agreed darlo - Stacey has a great voice

Looking forward to Michael Buble also, he is such a nice guy and love his music he really does have such a smooth voice and lots of charisma.

Cole is using the same song writers as US star Christina Aguilera

Cheryl Cole's first release as a solo artist, Fight For This Love, has gone straight to the top of the charts.

The song is the fastest-selling single of the year so far, with more than 290,000 sales.

The Girls Aloud singer, whose album comes out on Monday, said getting to number one had put "a permanent smile on her face".

Cole knocked X Factor's Alexandra Burke - another former reality TV show contestant - off the top of the charts.

Cole said: "I'm just getting over the fact I have recorded my solo record and now it's number one.

"I can't take this all in. It's hard for me to put into words how I feel. I have this permanent smile on my face."

Cole had been hot favourite to reach number one since performing the song on the X Factor for 12.7 million viewers last week.

World's sexiest woman

Her profile has been rising since her stint as a judge on the show.

She was on the cover of the UK edition of Vogue in February, and was named the world's sexiest woman by readers of FHM magazine in April.

Fight For This Love was premiered on BBC Radio One and was written by Andre Merritt, Steve Kipner and Wayne Wilkins.

They had previously penned material for R&B stars such as Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera and Rihanna.

Martin Talbot from the Official Charts Company said: "Many congratulations to Cheryl Cole on her fantastic achievement.

"Other than X Factor winners, very few singles get anywhere near 300,000 sales in their first week.

"In doing just that this week, Cheryl has shown just what a favourite she is with the British music-buying public."

Burke's single Bad Boys, featuring US rap star Flo Rida, is now number two in the charts.

Whitney Houston forced her way into the top 10 with her single Million Dollar Bill claiming fifth spot.

I agree with you, love Stacey's voice, don't think she's had the perfect song yet, but hopes she gets it soon.
She has a very powerfull voice.

It's time ... to face ... the music

Here we go again guys and gals

I think the biggest challenge is between the judges, don't think they are much interested in the acts.

Don't like Dermot either, the only one he loves is himself, a but like Brucie.

Dannii and Louis. Dannii looks so hot.

Yay... I always camp it up in the living room to this song!



Oh... wait... no, I mean this is a crap song

Loving the monochrome theme! The girls dresses are wicked

I love it too Meaty, whats on your lips say the word, Alphabeat are brill.

I can't watch SCD anymore - Brucie completely ruins it for me - it's like listening to my Father in Law

Oh they're miming

hate cheryls dress

Me too!

Hi guys.   Wonder if the gimps will be put out their misery tonight?

They must be mimeing...








Because they were in tune

doubt it - they seem to be liked for some reason

It's a bit shit isn't it. Doesn't work on sticks like her, you need good norks to work it and she aint got much going on really has she

Hey guys *waves*

Rachel's transformation from sulky girl to party girl in the space of 7 days is jaw-dropping isn't it, lol.

Looking forward to Michael Buble's performance tonight.

I think i'm starting to get Joe McElderry now, really liked him over the last couple of weeks but I really don't want Cheryl to be the winning judge.

I have a feeling Rachel will be in the bottom 2 tonight - hope not though

yep - I like him

Maybe Whitney left her some sweets

oh no its westlife

Hmmmm wonder what Class A drugs Westlife will be showcasing tonight

Lucie has a fantastic voice

Oh they have no stools Who's nicked Westlife's stools???

Simon must be desperate for the Twins to stay really, everyone is talking about them. They're a sure bet for the tour.


I did read a rumoured voting leak earlier on DS but they have been wrong before.

i wish they would sing a ballad for a change

love westlife
