Where did the big Xfactor stage go ? They seem to be using an old American Idol stage. Which is small, and not huge like the Xfactor stage used to be. The Wembley studio closed down and the new facility that the X Factor use is smaller I think. It is not the same show it used to be. The old show was taking an ordinary kid and putting them on the biggest stage on the biggest show on TV, with ten awesome backing dancers.

When you already have established people on the show like Gio and Janice, it kind of takes away the point of it.

Surprised that Janice went out - she was given a good slot and a lot of production values.
I guess people weren't prepared to vote for someone who had already had a career and who had been flown in from the US to be part of the show.

Kylie doing a country song? Oh dear. Singing through her nose. Unpleasant.

Everything about this series is embarrassing, it just screams end of the line. Thankfully Little Mix and Kylie were great as expected, but my god this show just needs to die now.

FINALLY the bloody choir are out. Gio must be hanging in by the skin of his teeth.

Gio hasn't been bottom 3 yet - so he is doing better than a number of them.

Gio should be gone by now, I'm surprised he is hanging in there. I just find his performances really cringe worthy.

Really sorry the choir are out, but they are more suited to BGT. The age group of those voting though has the biggest effect, hence a choir and the overs are out. No one really stands out though. It certainly isn't the show it used to be and must be on borrowed time.

LADIES AND GENNELMAN PLEASE WELCOME...janice robinson Buzzkill. 😐 Danny Tetley's another one - not exactly a name that conjures up images of a platinum selling pop star...more like a northern pub/club singer who performs on Thursday and Friday nights (after the bingo and the dodgy psychic) at the Phoenix club! It's a pity there wasn't a contestant with the last name Tea. Simon could have put them together as a duo - Tetley Tea!

Danny Tetley sounds like someone working at a call centre in Grimsby, and Molly Scott an 18 year old who has a Saturday job in Topshop.

I went to school with a girl called Janine Tetley.
We called her “Teapot” obviously.

Dalton the only good performance so far, but I didn't enjoy the white hair dye as part of the aesthetic in his performance.
Molly was pretty average. She looked as if she really didn't want to be there.
United Vibe were horrendous. Their vocals were flat, off-key, straining and lazy, and their blocking was awful. It was just 5 lads standing on a stage singing. There is no connection between them. It looked and felt like a performance you would see at a funeral. They need to go.

Shan is oversinging now. She is good. But she has an over inflated sense of how good she is- meaning she is just coming over as over-intense and somewhat arrogant.
No likeability factor there at all.
Dalton is a more complete package.

Final 3 will be Dalton, Shan and Bella I think, with either Dalton or Shan winning, depending on how much the public actually like Shan.

Sound gremlins...? Or is it just Virgin Media round here?

This is really unfair on Danny Tetley. I don't like him - but he deserves to be heard without sound interference. They should have paused the show.

Having the same problems on Sky TV.
Poor Danny. It's almost as if he's been stitched up.

Maybe it's technical issues outside the X Factor tech team's control? It might be an ITV/STV issue?

It is one of my all time favourite songs - no idea how well he actually sang it though.
It is unfair to let any performance affected by this sort of gremlin to be subject to voting.

Issues are still happening for Anthony. They ought to pause the show while they try and iron out the sound issues.

Why haven't they paused the show until this is resolved? It makes no sense to carry on when they are placing certain contestants at a massive disadvantage.

Anthony will fare worse I think due to how distinctive his voice is. That high note was horrendous.
