Well, at the end of the third live show, the notoriously difficult Big Band Week! Who were your favourites and who disappointed you the most? Like we do every week, here’s our chart of who we thought were the best and worst of tonight’s X Factor!

Louis Walsh has just said on Xtra Factor that his three favourite performances were Danyl Johnson, Miss Frank and Lucie Jones. We’re going to beg to differ slightly…here’s our top ten.

1. Danyl Johnson – They say he’s cocky and overconfident, but tonight Danyl Johnson proved that he’s got the performance chops and the vocal ability to go all the way to the finals. Danyl carries himself like a fully developed artist already.
2. Joe McElderry – Joe impressed us tonight with his version of Sway, even though he looked a little uncomfortable at the start. We think he’s got great potential and he’s definitely the Under 25 males’ answer to Danyl.
3. Olly Murs – Big Band showed Olly playing to his strengths, playing the jack the lad character and generally vibing it up on stage. The cheeky chappie persona was a great fit to the theme of tonight’s show and we hope he can manage to adapt to the other theme weeks just as well.
4. Lucie Jones – Lucie put in her best performance of the entire series tonight, so we rank her higher than her category-mates, Rachel and Stacey. She still needs to work on the performance skills, but she gave us a glimpse of a very capable voice tonight. Nice one Lucie!
5. Jamie Archer – What to say about the Archer? Well, despite a cheating the theme by singing a U2 song, Jamie proved himself as quite the showman and cemented his ‘rock voice’. We’re still undecided about his long-term prospects in the competition though.
6. Rachel Adedeji – Rachel managed a brilliant transformation, looking far more feminine than in previous weeks, and gave a storming rendition of Proud Mary, another not-really-swing song. Hopefully this’ll propel her through to the next week and another impressive performance.
7. Stacey Solomon – We kind of felt that Stacey phoned in her performance this week. It was to her usual standard, but like Lucie, Stacey needs to give something more in her performances or she’s going to be a very one-dimensional ballad singer. We need to see something more.
8. Miss Frank – It may have sounded better in the studio, but Miss Frank were a disappointment for us for the second week running. The sound quality was poor, and sometimes their singing sounds like a lot of unappealing noise. I think they need a lot more work.
9. Lloyd Daniels – For our money, Lloyd’s a goner. He might be able to hold a tune, but overall he’s underwhelming. We have nothing else to say. Sorry kid, but you’re not making the grade.
10. John and Edward – What can we say – a total balls-up. We know there are numpties out there who’ll vote for these two, but really, they’re a novelty act. Vote them out, they’ll release a novelty record anyway and everybody’s happy.

Right, over to you lot – give us your top ten contestants tonight!
