Tonight we had:

Simon’s groups – Belle Amie and One Direction.

Cheryl’s  girls – Cher Lloyd, Katie Waissel, Rebecca Fergusson and Treyc Cohen

Dannii’s boys – Aiden Grimshaw,  Matt Cardle and Paije Richardson

Louis’  Over 28’s – Mary Byrne and Wagner

Mary Byrne – Sang Could It Be Magic by Barry Manilow.  Yet another powerful performance if not a little bit samey in style as other weeks.  Love to listen to her voice though and another crowd pleaser.

Aiden Grimshaw – Sang Thriller by Michael Jackson.  An iconic song in Aidan’s own style.  Very indivdual performance but felt it was a little bit too different and worry that people may not get it.  He is an interesting performer, still want to see more.

Belle Amie – Sang Venus by Bananarama.  More together as a group, looked good tonight. Still need work on their arrangements. Song started off a bit shakey.

Rebecca Ferguson – Sang Wicked Game.  Another outstanding performance. What more is there to say about this singer, she is incredible.

Treyc Cohen – Sang Relight My Fire . Treyc is a great singer but I had to agree with Dannii’s comments tonight. She has a fantastic voice but is instantly forgettable and that could be her downfall.  She doesn’t stand out enough with the other contestants which is what happened to John last week.

Matt Cardle – Sang  Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis.  He seemed really strained tonight and wasn’t on form like usual.  He didn’t look as though he was enjoying it either.  Still love his voice and would watch him in concert.

Wagner – Sang Bat Out of Hell after starting off with the X Factor theme.  He may be likeable but this is a singing contest.

Paije Richardson – Sang Back to Black.  Good song, wasn’t totally sure about the arrangement though.

Katie Waissel -  Sang Bewitched.  What a joke! Sorry this just seemed to be another farce following the one from last week.

One Direction – Sang Total Eclipse of the Heart.  They look really good together.  Really like them but felt this performance wasn’t as good somehow.

Cher Lloyd – Sang Stay by Shakespears Sister.  This is one of my favourite all time songs and she delivered it brilliantly.  Bearing in mind this song is normally sung by two singers Siobhan Fahey (ex Bananarama) and Marcella Detroit who does all the high notes. I’ve often wondered why no one covered this song, so credit to Cheryl for this choice.  Cher produced an amazing performance.  Always want to hear more from her.

The Fab this week (the best) – Cher Lloyd,  Rebecca Ferguson

The Drab this week (the not so hot) – Wagner, Katie Waissel

X FACTOR LIVE SHOW 4 RESULT NIGHT – Katie Waissel and Belle Amie were in the bottom two.  After Simon and Cheryl both voted for their acts to stay, Dannii chose Belle Amie to leave and Louis chose Katie to leave.  It went to public vote and Belle Amie had the lowest, meaning they left the show.  Should have been Katie, although she is good at acting!  Miaow.

It’s always hard to read that someone has passed away and it’s not that often we get really shocked with the news, but Michael dying is up there with Elvis, John Lennon and Princess Diana. Whatever you thought of him, he was a talented and gifted musician. There will be a huge hole left within the music world. He has inspired many people.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
