As I've been discussing The X Factor with you on Twitter over the past few weeks, I've noticed there's two things that always get people talking. One is John & Edward, and the other is the group songs that the entire group of contestants do at the beginning of Sunday's results show. The new addition to the show was started this series when the programme moved to two nights instead of one.

It was Rock week on The X Factor this week, where Lucie Jones looked rather like Kristen Stewart during her performance of "Sweet Child of Mine" and John & Edward divided opinion yet again with their version of "We Will Rock You"! Danyl Johnson's confidence was very obviously knocked by being in the bottom two last week, and his performance was pretty shaky, but the public brought him back. Bon Jovi and JLS performed on tonight's show as we waited for the results, which brought surprisingly bad news for Rachel Adedeji and Lloyd Daniels, who were the bottom two in the public vote after their performances on Saturday.

It's Rock week on The X Factor this week — in honour of Bon Jovi performing tonight! After John & Edward's attention grabbing performances like "Oops I Did It Again" in previous weeks, they got everyone talking with their performance of "We Will Rock You". It definitely resembled the 5ive version more than the Queen version, but they were put through a lot of choreography again by Brian Friedman.

The X Factor's John & Edward have got everyone talking. Whether you love to hate them or can't wait to see what they do next, John and Edward Grimes are certainly making an impression, as it's been revealed that they got the highest number of votes on last week's show! Their now legendary performance of Britney Spears' "Oops I Did It Again" stunned viewers, and this week's performance of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" was also completely over the top.

It was big band week on The X Factor this week — not that you'd know from John & Edward's bizarre performance of "She Bangs" and Jamie Archer singing U2's "Angels of Harlem"! Saturday night's show featured Michael Buble mentoring the contestants, and a standout performance by Rachel Adedeji, who I felt improved greatly on previous weeks. Michael and Westlife performed on tonight's show as we waited for the results, which brought surprisingly bad news for Danyl Johnson and Miss Frank, who were the bottom two in the public vote after their performances on Saturday night.

Rikki Loney was the second act to leave The X Factor tonight, following Kandy Rain's departure last week. It was another week of exciting performances after Cheryl Cole and Whitney Houston performed on the show, the latter not even letting a wardrobe malfunction faze her! At the end of the night, Rikki was voted into the bottom two alongside Rachel Adedeji who was in the bottom two last week, and took the news badly tonight, breaking down into tears.

Last night The X Factor contestants took part in Diva Week, paying tribute to amazing female vocalists like Whitney Houston, Leona Lewis and Christina Aguilera. I don't think anyone can deny that the performance that got people talking was those twins taking on Britney Spears "Oops I Did It Again" — including the cheesy talking part in the middle of the song. Wearing red PVC suits, eighteen year old John and Edward took the song on with a lot of energy and while their singing wasn't on top form it was certainly a very entertaining performance — but did you think it was amazing, or awful?
