The X Factor: Over and out

Kandy Rain become the first X Factor casualties as John and Edward live to fight another day...

The X Factor: Kandy Rain. Bye.

So Kandy Rain bit the dust. Knew it. I said all last week that John and Edward would at least survive the first week of The X Factor and Kandy Rain would get the bullet. Women don't like strippers. Simple as.

I wasn't surprised that Rachel was in the bottom two as well. Not because she wasn't good, she was great, but I can see how she could have got lost amongst all the others.

I'm glad Rachel survived, although I have to say Kandy Rain did put in a fighting performance at the end. Just next time girls, unless you're posing in Nuts, make it classy not slutty.

Back to John and Edward. They stayed in because people are now feeling sorry for them. My dear friend Deby who watched the show with me tonight admitted that she was warming to them. She even went as far to post this on facebook and is now dealing with the wrath of a hundred friends.

They were easily the worst act of the night and shouldn't be there. I'm not encouraging hate mobs or vigilante attacks before anyone starts, but come on, seriously? Yes they're only 17, but Lloyd is only 16. So there.

I think they'll be there for a couple of weeks to be honest, maybe they can win me over too. Or maybe hell will freeze over first?

Alexandra Burke was amazing. Not only did she look great, but she looked like a real life popstar. However, it did look like she lipsyced which, although understandable with that dance routine, would be a shame all the same.

You can only get away with it if you have Ru Paul standing in front of you demanding you: ‘Lipsync for your life and don't f*** it up!' Fact.

Robbie Williams on the other hand looked a bit like a man possessed. He certainly knows how to work the crowd, so lets put the fact that he had the eyes of a crazy man down to excitement at being back on stage.

PS: I can't decide if I love or hate the group song idea - Your thoughts please...
