The X-Factor 2009 ... Do not post stills from the show or Rex Features (copyrighted)

I liked Olly's first performance - it's an upbeat song regardless of who sings it - but what was he supposed to be dressed as? He looked like a ship's captain who’d lost his hat.

I know I said I wanted to see him in something other than a shirt and tie, but who really picks these outfits for these people? Stacey does alright with her dresses - and I reckon Danyl insists on dressing himself - but sometimes you wonder what goes on.

That said, in the VT, Simon's wearing a shirt-and-jumper combo that makes him look like someone's dad, and he's the one with the final say on everything... If Stacey was really dressed by Dannii, she wouldn't have been wearing that for her first performance, it was a waste of a gorgeous woman.
　
Joe was great, but at the end of Dermot's piece, when the number came up on the screen, he was looking into the camera and he almost started doing an Eoghan face.

 

It's like someone is rubbing a cheese grater against my ears when Danyl sings now.

It's all so...over done? Over worked. Over done to within the last inch of its life.

 

Am I the only one who thought Danyl butchered it?!

 

^ See above.

Haha

 

Wasn't impressed with Danyl at all, and I started doing something else during his performance, I drifted away.

 

Olly is putting all his energies into his songs, but despite some good remarks, he's not really getting the vote of confidence from the judges' comments, in the same way that they're gushing over the other three.

 

Amen. I'm past the stage of even trying to like him now.

Joe was fantastic and I'm starting to think that he could even win this.
I was disappointed with Stacey and Olly tonight.

 

I don't live it the UK, so I was wondering, Lady Gaga is performing tomorrow right?

 

She is yes, she's performing Bad Romance. She's also performing on The Royal Variety Performance here next week, and she is doing Speechless.

 

Is it pre-recorded? Getting used to these spliced together shows now.

 

I'm counting on Danyl to go tonight... gotta say I'm not as keen on him anymore. I really want Olly to be in the final but honestly I thought his song choices were a bit meh last night!

 

Olly really needs to go....that dancing is really getting on my wick and Louis comparing him to Jamiroquai WHAT!!!!!!
Apart from that his voice is fairly weak IMO.
Danyl is very same old, same old......you just know what you are gonna get every week.
Joe and Stacey are the stars of this show and have been since day 1.
I would be happy if either of them won and they both deserve it.

Well roll on the circus that will be Lady Gaga tonight That song is one of the worst things I've ever heard but it does make me LMFAO.

 

Haha to be fair to Olly, Danyl's dancing last week was literally the most frightening thing I've ever seen. He looked like an octopus. And I'm actually really excited about Gaga, Bad Romance is hilariously brilliant, it's so ridiculously catchy!

 

Lady GaGa Should be good tonight , Danyl is getting on my wick now and when he talks it sounds like he's got a blocked nose IMO

he's got to go tonight , I'll be shocked if its anyone else going , My Money is on Olly to win but i know alot of you won't agree , to someone who posted about Lady GaGa performing tonight it should be on youtube late tonight or early tomorrow i would think
lets hope she puts on a real show

 

I want Danyl to go tonight, so badly, but I think it could be Olly. He's already got less votes than the other three once, and I don't think last night's performances were great enough for him to have got any new voters.

My guess is Joe will win. The more the show's gone on, the more I've actually come to thinking I don't mind if he wins. He's not really a pop star to me, but he's very talented and like the judges said last night he's never really had a bad week, sung a bum note, gave a weak performance. The only real issue is his wardrobe choices.

Simon very clearly thinks Danyl is going to win it for him. He seems to have all his faith in Danyl, putting him last, giving him the "big" songs he thinks everyone loves. If he wins, I'll vomit. Everywhere. (This could be exaggeration)

Seriously looking forward to GaGa though. The song is brilliantly catchy, I hope she puts on a real performance for it. I know she requested sheep... but the health and safety couldn't allow it. God knows why she wanted sheep!
