Joe's second go

Clearly the best singer in the competition, Joe was (again) note perfect and gave us a hint of what he might do musically if he were to win. It was a power balled with his cute little sway. The best of the night and it all seemed effortless and the judges looked stunned

Olly goes for it in round two

Firstly what was that tiny tie all about? His moves looked a bit Queen back in the day crossed with someone having a fit, but we ask ourselves whose album would buy? His.

He looked so confident and in control (which cannot be said for the camera man who seemed to drop the camera at one point).

A final place performance we think.

DJ loves a semi

So Danyl is within touching distance of his dream and the theme tonight was perfect was him. He belted out Man in the Mirror. A difficult start which showed in Simon's face. Rocking leather pants, and doing the trick with the microphone, we don't think it was good enough. We think he's at risk tonight.

Stacey did Dannii proud

How did she get into the semi-final? How short was the skirt? All was answered in that performance! But we think her nerves showed through and the moves were a bit to self-conscious. Shame cos we love her and are backing the girl from Dagenham.

Geordie Joe

The cute little 'younger brother' of our Cheryl came out and showed us what his lungs can do. He was note perfect and commanded the stage. Cheryl should be proud. Well done Joe. But why was she the only one standing at the end?

Olly round one

Coming out and doing his Michael Jackson moves to full perfection, Olly showed us he is serious about never going back to that call centre. But we think he started too low and his nerves showed. He looked a bit like a sailor from HMS X Factor. Enough to get him through? We think so, but the backing dancers were ridiculous

Who won the style war this week in X Factor semi final?

Looking like she couldn't decide what outfit to wear, so put on half of both and in desperate need of a comb, our Cheryl was trashed by an elegant Dannii in a decline of the Roman empire off the shoulder number
