just because a song is not not a rat pack song does not mean that it can not be performed on a big band week! no Angel of Harlem is not persay a big band song but then neither is she bangs!!

I don’t blame Louis for making the show a joke I blame all the judges for putting the terrible twins through in the first place thus alllowing Louis to show his sick sense of humour! – He only put them through to wind Simon up but eventually it will backfire.

Note to Mr Walsh.
Can you remember the group ‘Same Difference’ that you slated mate.
Well at least they could sing, dance and do just about everything.
They had real talent.
You are left with two young people who should have never been let any where near a stage, let alone a singing competition.
This show is now an absolute joke, and I agree with others who have posted their views. Louis Walsh has single handedly ruined this show.
Who bribed him to put the PRATS through???
Makes you wonder!!!

Is it me or is there a psychology to the order of the performances.. the twins always seem to be on near the end… is this a fix? are we so easy to control?
Are we nation of half wits that only vote for what is fresh in our minds??? Those twins would sound like a car crash and look like one if there were no circus act to wrap them in! How about singing???
…plus I think Louis has been bang out of order tonight… since when did he lead the world of ‘rock!’ …reading Kerrang and NME WOT?

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that Danyl has not got a very good voice. It seems he’s living on that great first performance, but all the time his confidence and performances far outweigh his voice. Think he and Simon are in denial big time. Having said that he’s way better than the twins. And yes Simon cheated by letting Jamie off doin a big band song. Using the Billie Holiday excuse is bending the idea behind it way too much. Been watching X Factor since it started and think this year its very close to becoming a joke

Note to Louis since when is She Bang not a pop song by Ricky Martin and a big band number. people in glass houses should not throw stones.

There are some pretty arrogant sick-minded people who are voting for the twins, and I am definitely not talking about very young teen, even pre-teen girls who will always vote for kids like that. It’s not as organised as the “vote for the worst” campaigns that blight American Idol, but on the far smaller scale of The X-Factor it’s just as destructive.

Talented, brave people like Miss Frank, and, almost, Rachel, are having their lives ruined by despicable idiots, and there’s nothing that can be done about it. Let’s be honest: Miss Frank will probably never do anything I would want to listen to, but they are talented and were on a constant curve of improvement from the time they were first “assembled”. Their public will be deprived of the best of them, and can now only hope that Louis will follow up his statements about the girl’s future with an agency contract, at the very least. Having all your hopes invested in Louis putting his money where his mouth is is “high risk, low expectation”…

One, i have to agree Dermot is plastic, i would love his job, id do it for free, he has no charisma, in fact nothing. As far as the twins they should never been past the first round, they are a pair of muppets

why if no one is voting for the twins are they still in
we turn the TV over when they are on.its not fair to them either they are only kids.

Also when will Simon get a decent presenter Dermot is dreadful and very insincere.

Louis i hope to god someone brings this comment to your attention , you honestly need to get your facts right before opening your big worthless mouth U2 wrote Angel of Harlem in homage to Billie Holiday, THE godess of big band music. The music was written with the intention of a big band sound, and was recorded with The Memphis Horns, who figure on maybe hundreds of big band style recordings.
