Rikki Loney leaves X Factor 2009
Tonight’s X Factor results show was certainly eventful. Cheryl Cole performed live (well sort of), Whitney Houston sang her heart out then talked herself into a sure spot in tomorrow’s tabloids and Rachel Adedeji ended up in the bottom two again.
Rachel sang against Scottish hat enthusiast Rikki Loney to keep her place on the show and she belted her song, ‘With or Without You.’ She really fought for her place and put every bit of angst she was feeling into her performance. Rikki chose a bland Westlife song and put very little passion into it.
Not surprisingly, Simon chose to send Rikki home. But I would say Rachel needs to pull something amazing out of the bag next week if she wants to survive. The pressure is on for her and Dannii Minogue now.

I think the reason why Simon sent Rikki home was not based upon his performance at all but how much more can he give?
Much as I liked Rikki far more than Rachel at present as I believe she is being directed along the wrong vocal path, overall Rachel has got more to give. But it all depends on how much accurate training comes her way instead of the lets belt the living daylights out of ones vocal chords. which sadly in someone so young are not strong enough to take the beating.
