I'm so glad Diana is still in it. I hope she wins.

Finally Rachel is going home I never really liked her singing. She really got on my nerves.

[Lesley Bee]

Yay, Rachel has finally gone I can't quite put my finger on it, but something did just not connect right with her

[Eko]

For me the Best were Alex, Eoghan and Ruth

OK: JLS, Diana( I didnt like her 2day - i couldnt hear her singing)

So glad JLS are through - I was hoping they would sing Rule the world (saw them singing it on youtube and it was great) but million love songs was good.

Next week is going to be so good - going to have to vote for JLS more.

Were Same Difference lip singing?

thats what i was thinking as well

[Lesley Bee]

Is it just me or does Ruth get better and better each week? i really think she could be one to watch.

I still want Diana to win though, she is amazing

[Mrs Bishop]

I thought Dianas was straining last night to sing I dont think she is really recovered yet, glad that Eoghan got threw and J.L.S are good but I cant put my finger on them they will only go so far, look at all the other groups.

[Laura]

I missed it last night but am going to watch it this afternoon.

So glad Diana and Eoghan are still in. Glad Rachel has gone. She was a good singer, just not my favourite.

In the final 3, I want Diana, Eoghan and Ruth

I’m sure most people are suitably pleased that Rachel went last night. But I’m glad she went out on a high. Her final song was definitely her best performance and she was quite gracious in defeat. None of that crying or feeling sorry for herself like some of the contestants in the past have done.

You mean lip synching? Yeah they were. It was probably because they had such an energetic dance routine, but it's still not very good when you're performing on a show that's all about live singing. I wonder if Britney will sing live...

Glad Rachel is gone, couldn't stand her (personality-wise or singing-wise). I really haven't got a clue who's going to win but I hope it's Diana or JLS. The others aren't unique enough IMO. Talented as they are, Alexandra and Ruth are just like all the other power-house singers out there (Leona, Mariah, Christina etc), and Eoghan is just another cute young guy with a halfway decent voice. I'm not sure who would buy their records on a long-term basis.

Ditto. You've just said exactly what I was thinking. I'm glad Rachel's last performance in the sing-off was good, she did well (unlike last week) and like someone else said above, it's good that she went out on a high. She did have a unique voice but her personality just didn't come across well. I can't believe JLS were in the bottom 2, I really want them to be in the final, along with Diana and for one of them to win. I'd be happy with either. I think Diana's just brilliant and unique, she may have had off weeks, but she has something special and I think there's a big gap for her in the market.

Unlike Alexandra and Ruth, who have big voices (I think Alex's is better) but they don't offer anything new, and the market is saturated with plenty of huge voiced diva type singers (who are actually better than them IMO).

As for Eoghan, he's cute, he can perform well at times, but his voice is just okay. He hasn't got that something special (in terms of voice especially) to become a successful recording artist.

Yeah She probably won't, she hardly ever does, I will never understand it though, shes such a great singer.

The X Factor contestants Diana Vickers and Eoghan Quigg have been spotted looking cosy - fuelling rumours of a romance.

The teenage singing rivals were apparently looking very 'coupley' after singing on Saturday night's show, and were then seen cuddling in a taxi, reports The Sun.

"They don't care who knows they're an item any more," said a show insider. "They're always together and everybody knows they're a couple now."

During the Take That-themed show, Diana, 17, sang the band's hit Patience and 16-year-old Eoghan treated the audience to a performance of Never Forget. Both made it through to next week, while over-25 singer Rachel Hylton got the boot.
