Dermot: Unwittingly made an amazing NKOTB reference by calling One Direction 'the newest boyband on the block'. I liked it a lot.
Matt- Nice arms, shame about the phlegm in throat at the beginning of the song. It was a good song choice for him, and nice to see him singing something quite masculine for a change. Not sure the whole production with the dancers really suited a Beatles song though, and thought his styling was a little bit too 'Kid Rock/Wife-beater' for such a much-loved sweetie. Also, he seems to have small shoulders which was distracting. But yes, lovely arms.
This girl singing 'Imagine'?? Seriously? *Lennon turns in his grave*Cher- The song choice was just a little bit lame to me. It came across contrived-maybe because she is so young. Maybe its because the song features lines such as 'imagine no possessions' that Cher with her bratty, kinda hip-hop attitude simply couldn't make it sound believable. While she obviously has vocal talent, she really has no proper technique to speak of. I will say she had good makeup. It was nice to see her not looking like a drag queen. The best bit was the judges didn't all go crazy praising her the way they did on the Halloween show(to be honest, I thought this was better than her rendition of 'Stay'. That week was all about the styling and production.
One Direction- I thought it was a really fun performance. I liked the production- especially the crowd of dancers coming in at the end. I gotta agree with what Cheryl once said- I would love them if I was 14-15, and would probably have posters and everything. I thought the styling was good overall, except for the one dude in the silly cropped trousers. I'm not convinced they didn't have a backing vocal playing- not sure why I thought that, it just sounded like more than 5 voices at times. Oh, and the Irish dude has silly hair.
Rebecca- First impression? not loving the jumpsuit or bad trousersuit or whatever it was. Thought she was as good as ever, but yeah, maybe she wasn't quite as powerful as she could've been. every week she's always a little bit off-key in places but her voice is lovely u forgive her. I decided this week that maybe her eyebrows are drawn a bit higher than they should naturally be? They look a lot more natural than Cher's, but when u look at her bone structure and eyes closely I think they are higher than they should be, but she suits it. As always Dannii was the only one who offered constructive criticism.
Mary- Definitely had her mojo back- though I don't think it went too far away. She even seemed to be moving in a way that was a little bit sexy or something. She had amazing stage presence, and she looked beautiful. The only issue I have with Mary is, where can she go from here? Eurovision?...actually, thats not a bad idea. Get songwriting people!!Oh and realized Louis reminds me of Jedward the way he bounces around in his camp little way.
Paije- He is by far the best vocalist left in the comp. Hands down. He also has the cutest baby face ever. Has a special spark- is it the 'X' factor? I'm not 100% sure. I love his style every week- he kicks it old school. When it comes time to judge him...I don't wanna see Simon's chest hair.
Wagner- So he called Cheryl 'a council estate girl who got lucky'. I don't see the controversy in that. She's never tried to hide it, and is proud of it. Its true, he wasn't saying she isn't talented, and I think it was probably taken out of context. At the end of the day, Cheryl is an amazing dancer, but her vocals aren't exactly much better than his. She doesn't even sing live when she performs on the show, so I don't see what all the Hoo-Ha is about. Cheryl should know better than anyone that the press can take a quote and twist it to suit themselves. I thought her reaction was inappropriate and uncalled for. As for the performance- I'm with the judges on this one- there isn't really much you can say about it.
Below is a pic of Wagner when he was young:
And here is a pic of Cheryl beside a pic of the nightclub attendant she assaulted: 
Haven't Wagner and Cheryl both come a long way?
Katie- Does she smoke? Whats with her croaky speaking voice? The song choice came across a bit desperate, and like she was trying to show us what she is going through with all the negative press- but instead it came across shallow and contrived. I dunno why this is, I really don't. There really is just an inexplicable 'thing' about her that makes her not-likeable. I guess that makes me feel ever-so-slightly sorry for her because it doesn't seem like there is anything she can do right. I liked the blonde hair better on her but think the crop is cute. Her dress was cute, but wasn't exactly a show-stopper, more like nice day-wear. And, once again, Dannii is the only one who speaks the truth.

My message to take away from this weeks episode? vote Paije. And if you don't vote Paije, then vote Wagner. That's that.
Oh, and I liked Dannii's look best. Cheryls whole look was just a bit too predictable, like we've seen it before.
