I'm really enjoying the X-Factor, it's much better than Pop Idol and Popstars. Heres what I think about the remaining acts :

Voices Of Soul - They're really good but they dont look like they'd last, they'd do one single and then fade into the shadows. Plus, they've been in the last two twice now (last week and this week).

2 To Go - They're only still in it because the guy is good and blind, the girl isn't very good and he should've gone solo. Anyway, i'd choose Voices Of Soul Over them.

Steve - Hes good, I dunno what Sharron was on about when she said something about him trying to sing like a black person. She doesn't know anything and he proved that on today's show.

Tabby - Hes really funky, he'd probably make a single even if he doesn't win. I try to ignore the gact that hes right up Sharon's a$$ but there you go. He might win it but I dont really like the kinda music he sings but hes still good if that makes sense.

Rowetta - She'll probably win, shes got a great voice and she has a very lively attitude. She was really good today and like Sharon said - shes already won it. (But we all know she didn't mean that because Tabbys too far up her a$$)

Cassie - Meh, if she wins she'll last 2 seconds and will be too busy enjoying luxury life instead of singing. Hope she goes tommorow.

G4 - This band is dumb. I dont like them one bit, how did they get this far in the first place? Their perfomance was stupid and the song was ruined. (Well, it was already crap but they made it crappier)

Erm...have I forgotten someone? I have a feeling I have but I dont know, tell me if I have.

Whats your thoughts on the acts?

I watch it mainly to hear what Simon Cowell has to say, top bloke, i love his honesty and isn't one of these people that is afraid to speak his mind.

However Louis Walsh, please will someone shoot this muppet. Every word Cowell says this idiot is butting in saying something totally unrelated, a good example would be when Cowell was talking about Voices with Soul:

*they were off key a bit in the middle*
What are you on about Simon just look at them they look fantastic

o....k that has what to do with anything? and his constant sniping of the solo acts, how can one person do their own backing you twit?

For someone complaining accusing Cowell of making the show about him he's doing a pretty good job of that himself. Every comment he makes is a childish swipe at Cowell but it's quite funny to watch Cowell put him in his place.

I was annoyed at that to, so because he's singing soul songs he's trying to be black? I thought this dumb attitude went out the window ages ago. But then this is the woman who thinks Kelly is talented so make of that what you will. Great to see Steve stick two fingers up to her before he left the stage when she called him a one trick pony.

Talking of one trick ponies, he proved on Saturday he can't do a rock ballad, his voice was horrible. Will probably win because of the dumb teenage girl vote, however i bet if he looked like that chicken plucker guy he'd never have even made the final 50

Simple bit of advice - stop bloody singing Mariah Carey songs, only Mariah can hit those notes, you aren't good enough

They were great however they've become absolutely horrible since Louis Walsh got his hands on them.

G4 have got potential but they need to do some decent songs. Since Louie Walsh has been making thie decisions for them they have become a rubbish teenyboper style boy group.

Tabby is awful. He'd be great as the front man in a band but as a solo artist he looks stupid. He wasnt playing his guitar so what was the point in having it. Rocl n Roll is just as much about the music as the singing and without a band he doesnt work for me. He'll probably win tho.

Rowetta and Steve are pretty good, and Cassie and VWS are ok but not my cup of tea.

If 67,000 screaming fans can't keep you awake, I doubt it's a problem with the football.

Each to his own, however.

Also, no. Football and Pop Idols are not similar.

From that description, you've clearly never watched a single match of football in your entire life.

Unless it was Spurs playing.
