rumour is Simon is jumping ship back to X Factor UK (Barlow is leaving) and Cheryl Cole is actually contemplating yet another offer to come back and judge the UK version. So is Danii Minogue.

Sharon and Nicole will get the boot because UK audiences aren't really checking for them...and if all goes as planned, we'll have the best panel back in action...which will boost ratings (for UK).

I don't get why Simon was so ominous about Sweet Suspense tonight. I really didn't think they were bad, or even near the worst, they were as good as the night before imo... but wow at the Rion pandering i mean, the song choice ("Born This Way") the standingO for an average perf. This is one of my pet peeves about shows like this. When someone comes on with a story or disability and it is used as a strategy and sympathy vote getter...

I actually thought all of them were decent tonight besides Carlos.

I hope he goes home next week and always cringe at Paulina's comments

Wtf @ simon giving SS ****? They were good IMO

Alex and Sierra slayed

I wish they'd let them choose their own songs ever week

I think Paulina is for sure going to lose a boy from this week's performances. The other categories should not be worried about this particular week so they should just focus on next week.

What a mess they need to eprfom only beacuse a mistake ! They have already 2 messy weeks of live shows
Im so mad I want my Selena perfomance, I need to wait until next week
SIMON!!! And X Factor producers are killing this show!!! thats why ratings are so bad!!!

To bad couse theres a lot of potential in a lot of the contestants!!
They did really good tonight!

Carlos & Tim should be Eliminated!!! But next week we would have 4 eliminations right?? 2 Wed & 2 Thur.

Simon is smart lol he basically did reverse psychology with his comments on both his groups to make sure there fans didnt get complacent and to make sure he put extra fear in them to vote even harder tonight

This poor show.

The 2-week break

The move to Tuesday

The "Meet the Top 12" episode

The move back to Wednesday

The wildcard

The voting error

The 3 (maybe even 4) eliminations next week

The ratings

Sweet Suspense did do great but since the public doesn't have too much of a history with them, I think Simon wanted to scare their fan base that they have a chance of being eliminated just for them to vote even more than they planned too.

and Rion. I just can't. Why I do feel sorry for her the fact the judges are just eating her up and overrating her is just.........I'm hoping Carlos, Tim (and I liked him before), and Rion go next week. I'm over the overs already. Especially Jeff. He seems so...odd to me. Knock those four out next week and I'll be happy. Possibly even Rachel for any of those 4

Paulina should've kept Tim gone.

All people see him as now is a one trick pony that would probably put them to sleep.

I can't at Paulina Rubio



When introducing her acts she's already said The Only One Josh Levi instead of The One And Only

Also, from South California here's Josh!!!!!! & he's from South Carolina


JFC She's the biggest mess ever

in my opinion she is a terrible judge , even when she tries to be funny she is not , or at least it seems she wants to emulate the others 2 girls on the panel!

My friends make fun of her and how she doesn't make sense when she talks

I feel bad because I got to see her on la voz kids and she was good is the language barrier and I didn't know her English was this terrible is like she stops and tries to translate everything but fails

Yes I can't stand Paulina she looks and sounds like an idiot.

Is actually embarrassing. She actually sounded decent on interviews but I think she's afraid she'll sound stupid so she overthinks what she's gonna say

Boys:
Carlito was ok. I still don't like him.
Like I said before, Tim's vocals are just amazing, the best of the boys, but yeah he can seem boring at times.
I like Carlos' voice, it has a nice tone, though I don't see him being stronger than the others.
Josh was cool.

Girls:
Rion was cool too, but seriously if any girl leaves before her I will be mad.
Khaya slayed tbh. Her voice is just amazing and that performance was her best.
Ellona is great as usual. One general problem I have with her is that, it seems like that she will fit in the girls-with-big-voices-singing-dancepop genre like Sanchez, Melanie etc, and how did that turn out for them? It's sad cos they're all amazingly talented, but it seems like their apparent routes are doomed.

Overs:
Jeff, not his best.
Lillie was great. She was really emotive.
Rachel did great too, and agreed some of her past performances weren't that great but this was stellar.
(Btw does anyone think she sounds like Lea Michele? When she's not in her low register or singing very high, I think she does)

Groups:
Alex & Sierra: I love Give Me Love but I think they didn't really do it justice enough. They were still good. Also, Alex's voice is better than Sierra's tbh, I hope that he gets more focus. Especially for this song, his voice would've went great.
Sweet Suspense: The more I see them the more I think they're great.
Restless Roads: Amazing as usual.

Not Paulina telling Carlos "It was the best performance I have ever seen". or something like that. I don't think she meant it to come out like that

Selena Gomez, Mary J Blige, Fifth Harmony this week. One Direction and Emblem3 next week

Simon looking for teenage viewers I see

I would like to see Gaga, Britney and Kelly Rowland performing this year too

I think this every time too It doesn't help that Rachel is Lea's character's name on Glee.

Anyways:
Alex & Sierra, Lillie, and Khaya were the best three imo. Ellona and Rachel would be next.
Alex & Sierra absolutely killed their first performance. Give Me Love was good, but not their best. They're still my favourites. Lillie slayed both performances. Definitely the best vocalist by far and a possible dark horse for the finals. Khaya really surprised me. Her first performance was good but a little boring, but she knocked the second song out of the park. Problem is, I don't see her establishing a strong fanbase for some reason

All of the boys are boring. I wouldn't care if all of them left I guess my favourite would be Tim, but he's boring. Better than Carlito's helium mess though

Rion is good, but overrated to the high heavens. Her performances are good, but she's the weakest girl.

Jeff annoys the crap out of me because he can't shut the **** up about his son. You have a kid, we know He ruins songs with his weird pronunciation too. He can leave.

Sweet Suspense is growing on me. I don't get why Simon kinda gave them negative feedback. They were on point both times.

Restless Road sucks. Literally sucks. All their harmonies are off key, none of them have strong voices, and they can't stay on pitch. They'll go really far because they're attractive to some people I guess, but they suck.

I stopped watching cause No Suspense stayed I'll still vote for the talented ones or the ones I used.
