I also didn't like Rachel much, except for her audition and her last performance. Bootcamp and first live show wasnt great. I love Nicole as a mentor. She was jumping for joy whenever her contestants are called.

I love Melanie Amaro, I agree, as a singer, she may be a bit boring cos she's just a perfect power singer, nothing unique. But I like her personality, she seemed down to earth and I like how she looks, not pretty pretty, looks ordinary but can be beautiful, if you know what i mean. I love Paula's contestants. I think she did really well as a mentor. Looks like America doesn't relate with groups. I so adore Intensity, call me mushy but I loved them! I feel so bad for Paula. I don't like Astro. Drew is really unique, but getting boring for me.

Love Josh and Leroy - think they're both very sexy and I like the fact that they've kept Josh as is and haven't tarted him up too much! Rachel is cute and Simon obviously has a huge soft spot for her. I worry about what will happen to Chris as and when he gets voted out - I hope they've thought that one through! I think it's very unfair to slate the girls for being samey samey when all Astro can do is rap, although I think he's brilliant and very focused for his age, if a tad annoying - but then so was Willow Smith when she 'sang' on the show this week!

I love Leroy Bell even though he might not seem as confident as some of the others. I think it adds to his charm. His voice is fantastic and he looks amazing for his age. I love Drew because she has her own style and is unique. She does sound pretty much the same every week but that's her style. Don't think that's a negative thing. And I agree, she's still a baby so there's lots of room for her to grow. I like Rachel because of her "cute factor", her voice is amazing but I don't think Simon is bringing out the best in her. Josh is real and passionate. Didn't like his facial expressions much either though. Astro is definitely talented but there's something I don't like about him. Not exactly sure what it is. Chris Rene ... I love him because I think he knows that even if he doesn't win, his only way is up. He has made it through tough times and can now see and believe that he can make it much further. I don't like Melanie Amaro. She has a great voice but she's just another Whitney or Mariah. There's nothing unique about her. Don't like Lakoda Rayne. I don't see any connection between them. They still seem like 4 individual singers. They didn't even know each other before. How can they expect them to start a real career together? Stacy has a great voice but I don't think she has been singing the right songs, nor were her outfits right. Not sure what Nicole is trying to do with her.

I love Stacey, I thought the song she sang this week was awful. Love Josh but hated his facial expressions this week. I really like Astro it’s amazing how he writes his own lyrics every week. I like the other rapper guy. My favourite this week was the 60 year old guy, loved his voice and song choice I don’t like the girl band or the young girls. <em>edited by tally-ho on 12/11/2011</em>

Astro is the same every week, he hasn't got a long range other than rapping. Love Melanie, I want her to win. I think Rachel is really cute and can see her being a big star. There is something about Chris Rene, I do like him thou. Josh is brilliant too. Stacy has a really lovely voice, I'm happy she has stopped all the crying malarky, was getting a bit bored of it to be honest. I agree. Astro is obviously very talented but I am getting as bored with him as people are with Drew. Yes he is a rapper but he is doing the same thing week in week out because that is the type/genre of music that he does. My question is how can the judges expect Drew (or any of the others) to step out of their box when Astro is very much in his comfort zone. Why should the 'singers' who have a style be expected to sing a different style (country, pop etc!) to show their diversity . Not too sure who I want to win this year as they have all had ups and downs. I do think Paula's group is on very dodgy terratory though!!!lol

Totally agree about Melanie! What a HUGE transformation from her audition, IMHO I think she already looks and sings like a star recording artist! Also agree about Drew, I still like her (and totally felt for her when she was getting criticism, remembering she's just a baby) but feel like she's sang exactly the same the entire competition. I think they should listen to Simon about Tracy and keep her singing "church songs" as that queen of the night was disastrous, not only was her dancing atrocious but she compromised her singing which is her best asset. Although Astro isn't the kind of music I like, I find him very impressive, and Chris Rene was definitely better this week, but still don't really like him. Leroy and Josh were both fantastic, was a bit worried for Josh at the beginning of his song, he was out of sync with the music/backup but really picked up at the end Not sad to see Stereo Hogz go thought their song was rubbish.

I don't like the styling of Simon's 2 girls (his team) Rachel looks awful what were those huge pink shoes they looked like trotters! She's a fun young girl, dress her like that!!! and surely he could give her some fun young popish songs? She has a great voice. Ohhh and that Drew is starting to annoy me, like LA sais she is the same everyweek and the dress and no shoes didn't do her any favours... On the otherhand Melanie looks AMAZING ! I think Stereo Hogz were good just that paula gave them RUBBISH songs the last 2 weeks, there first song was excellent. I don't like the girl band at all, they look muddled and very fake! Josh, Stacey and Leroy are all very real and the little rapper is amazing, his own lyrics and when does he breathe :) Marcus is really good too. Looking fwd to next weeks show ..... :)

I liked her before, but mostly because of her cute factor, more than X Factor, but saying that, you are right, she has improved a lot.

Don't/Didn't like Rachel, did her most recent performance change your mind about her? Because I have to say, I was blown away by her performance this time!!
