Last night, I thought Rachel gave what I would describe as the performance of the series on X-Factor – it was phenominal for this stage of the competition!
It has to be the only X-Factor performance that I have ever danced along to as well!
I’ve thought that she’s been consistently amazing throughout the competition, and so I really do hope that people vote for her.
My three to win have not changed my first predictions at first auditions, and remains as Stacey, Joe and Rachel – with all three to get record deals please!
Her reaction at the end (unfortunately not on this clip) had Greg and I in stitches…! 😀
I couldn’t, however, watch the song without thinking of Whoopi… 😉
She’s one of the most natural performers on the show(compare to Lloyd for an example of how not to look natural on stage) and has a great energy. Just wish she could control her voice more: it goes slightly out of tune a lot of the time.
Fear she may have lost votes due to her reaction at the end. I actually hope she stays as she’s one of the more interesting contestants. And who doesn’t want to see what they do with her versatile hair next week?

I’d agree with you, I think she’s settled into it all better than the rest of them (albeit, excluding last night’s reaction!). I am a little blind to the wobbles to be honest with you… I tend to find the performance as a whole engaging, so I don’t always notice them (compared to Lloyd, where you’re automatically on the critical given those awkward looks!)
I loved last week, she looked the spitting image of Grace Jones I thought (good thing, bad thing, you decide!). I think that neither of her saving songs have blown me away… so if those are the songs that she thinks that she’s best at, I am slightly worried. That said, I don’t think anyone could ever get close to Ruth Lorenzo’s survival rendition of ‘Purple Rain’!
The reaction at the end may well have been her undoing… I can see how it may have come across as her being a little full of herself… especially when Dermot reinforced that notion and said ‘you haven’t won yet!’ etc. I think that she’ll be safe this week, but that said, there is no-one that I am particularly gunning for to join John and Edward in the bottom two!
