Bye Rikki!

He performed like a wilted piece of celery at the back of the fridge, so it’s no wonder Rikki was voted out. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. was a really bad song choice for him, but let’s be honest, Rikki was not winning material…it was written all over his face that he didn’t think he could make it, and guess what- he didn’t.

In fact, this year (so far) selfishly seems to be all about the judges: Death, crying, absences, solo careers, scandals, arguments etc etc…What about the artists?! So far, quite forgettable.

Rachael will have to stand up against Danniis choices if she wants to make it past week 3. Her outfits are not reflecting her great personal style, and song choices are not showcasing her voice or charisma. I liked Rachael pre-liveshows, but Dannii has transformed her into something quite unlikable.

Miss Frank is more than you, Graziella

Who cares about the other two girls? Not this cholita.

They have to start acting like a group, but instead chose to look as awkward as possible with each other. With Sugababes hitting the skids they could be successful as an edgy 3 piece girl group, if they would only GET OVER THEMSELVES.

Their lack of unity, and the disappointing history of girl groups on Xfactor over the years makes Miss Frank my choice to go this weekend.

Tchau meninas!

Did they think that their dancing would distract us from the fact they cannot sing and have no charisma? They were out of puff, missed their ques and have a crap dance routine.

They have an inch of hair for every ton of suck.

**UPDATE Sunday 18th**
After their amazing Britney tribute I have decided I want them to stay! They are better entertainment than nearly all the other contestants, esp dull Lucie and weepy Ricky.

My tip for the first act to be booted from XFactor…I didn’t like them one bit and girl groups don’t seem to do too well.
Plus…did you see her forehead? Yikes.
