Ranking of the performances:

1. Andrea - 9/10 You cannot underrate this guy cuz his vocals slay and this song was perfect for him to showcase his grit in the right way - he did a Mariah run in the middle that destroyed me
2. Chloe - 8.5/10 It was like I wasn't watching a competition show - it definitely took me somewhere and i loved how relaxed and playful it was - that ending interval was gorgeous
3. Lauren - 8.5/10 Weird song choice but she made it work so so well - she is one of the best technical vocalists on the show and she has such depth to her voice and such control - some of her runs were brilliant
4. Paul - 8.5/10 A really really strong vocal performance


5. Jack - 7.5/10 my baby boo - he can do so much better still - i really think he should start doing more male songs like his audition because some of these female songs just don't really work as well as he can sing
6. Stereo Kicks - 7/10 - I like that they are making James the main singer but seriously they need a better song than Roar - though i enjoyed the key change and harmonies
7. Only the Young - 7/10 I really liked their vocals - strong and punchy and i love their chemistry like the judges said but the song choice was so corny and it was so like... morning kids show in costumes
8. Fleur - 7/10 Strong but I feel like there would have been better song choices for her - plus her voice was a bit sleepy at times
9. Ben - 7/10 He sounds amazing when he goes high but when he's in mid range and lower range he is so boring
10. Lola - 7/10 Nice vocals but sooooo boring and almost uncomfortable to watch cuz it just didn't seem natural to me

11. Blonde Electra - 6.5/10 I love these girls and hope they survive but they most likely won't. Their voices need more focus cuz they can sing pretty well
12. Jake - 6/10 Nice vocals but soooooooo boring and song choice was too dated for him. He gon get old very quick
13. Jay - 5/10 Ruined such a good song for me with his awful cat-cry, flat falsetto - there were some nice parts but if it weren't for the production he would have flopppppedd

14. Overload - 4.5/10 Boooooring, done many times
15. Steph - 4/10 oh dear what a mess tbh I thought she could be an Aaliyah, Tinashe type but nope her vocals are all over the place and constantly flat and her runs neverrrr land - plus i hated the song
16. Stevie - lol

I'm not too good at predicting how the British public votes but if it were the US public, I would guess Blonde Electra, Steph & Fleur would be bottom 3 and I think it could be like this tomorrow. Fleur is great but I doubt the public would be able to connect to her to vote.

Lola is trash, the stories I could tell about that girl...

do spill

Queen Lauren was obviously the best of the night im glad to see more people are warming up to her
Stereo Kicks did really well too, it's incredible how tight their harmonies are after only being together a few weeks
i still love OTY but tonight was lackluster from them, same with Steph
Andrea, Ben, Jay, Paul, Jake were all boring as predicted, cant see any of the males having a career after the show except maybe Jack..Stevi is just an awful joke act

Stevi needs to go, and in a perfect world another of the male soloists

[pokerfaceboy]

In LOVE with Blonde Electra!!! I hope they make it through!!!
EDIT: Also love Chloe, and Fleur. Lauren, Lola, Jay, and Steph are good also. I surprisingly also like Stereo Kicks.

[Eric.]

I LOVED Jay, he totally owned that moment, made me smile. Fleur smashed it too, the girl is really coming into her own. Ben's song choice totally messed up his edge, he looked dull.

Chloe was good, but I don't think she needed to arrange the song into pure cabaret jazz. I felt a bit bad for Steph because she's awesome, but she's been letting her nerves get the best of her. Lauren is absolutely gorgeous, not a big fan of her version, but wow!, her voice is like the sweetest candy.

Paul seemed a bit shaky to me, but he ended the performance on a high and I really loved how he didn't give everything away too fast. Jack did good, he's totally on tune with who he is as an artist. even if he is quite ordinary. Andrea did a great job, he's so good at delivering the song and didn't over-do it. Jake was all over the place.

Agree with Mel about OTY, bad song choice and they don't seem to be as comfortable with one another as every thinks they are. Stereo Kicks is growing, but they sorta butchered that song (I can't believe they think the guy with piercings is one of the strongest voices). Overload was a mess. I actually liked Blonde Electra's performance even if they seemed to be restrained because they're too afraid to separate each other.

It's quite obvious that Cheryl is trying to sabotage Simon with Stevie and that Mel is the best judge.

I LOVE Only The Young

Jack and Lauren are good as well.

The rest are all terrible (both boybands, Lola, Stephanie, Jake), basic, (Jay, Fleur), or ugly (Paul, Andrea).

[XXCUZ]

Not Fleur coming out of nothing and snatching everyone's wigs.

I really hope Steph pulls through tonight. I love her, but her performance was a hot mess. Hated the song.

Jack's still my favourite and the only one who has not let me down so far. He's amazing.

Andrea and Paul are incredibly boring and overrated. Lol at people thinking they'd launch a career after this show. Sam Bailey says HI!

I only really care for Jack, Steph, Lauren, Chloe, Fleur and maaaaybe Ben, Jay and Lola. The rest can **** off.

[J Legend X]

tbh.. I thought fleur and OTY where doing playback....

[J Legend X]

but I have to confess this badge of contestants nothing compared with other years tbh... I guess simon spent too much time on the x factor us and now is settles for mediocrity....

please get stephanie now !! she is terrible....

Stephanie and Stevie please ! good ridannce

[Ethereal]

Lola was my favourite - lovely vocals and gorgeous.

The Stephanie sabotage though

Still don't care about Lauren Platt.

[CaptainMusic]

Fleur was great but why is a skinny girl with abs singing a song like AATB?

Still, she slayed. Lauren, Jack, Paul and Chloe were great as well.

Stephanie is just so basic, she's not bad but her voice gives me Ellie Goulding teas and I'm not here for that. Andrea is a great singer but I still don't see it for him, this is not The Voice it's X Factor, who's gonna buy his music and support him?

If he wins he will bomb.

[Faruhs]

Overload has to go. It's so tacky to change song's lyrics, and they just look way too much like One Direction.

BYE this is the best set of contestants since 2010.

[GRMusic]

Top5:
Andrea
Paul
Ben
Stereo Kicks
Lola

Bottom3-Prediction: Blonde Electra, Fleur/Stevie, Stephanie

[Selxo]

Only the Young were amazing, what were y'all watching? Probably one of the Top 3 performances of the night. Also at some of you wanting Stephanie out when Overload, Stereo Kicks, Stevi, and Blonde Electra are still here.

Only the Young served vocals, harmonies, energy... everything was on point! One of the best performances for sure (along with Jack and Lauren).
I wish Overload and Stevi went home... but Blonde Electra and Steph are more likely.

Counting everything, Lauren was the winner of the night!

[monsterLd]

Meh, I love Jake - but that's because of the looks.

Everyone is the same, we need someone who isn't afraid to push boundaries on this show. Big mistake letting go of Raign.

They were both crap last night (even though Ben is better in general) so I can't blame her for defending her own act by default.

The Boys category is the strongest it's ever been this year, Jake is the only flaw.
