What happened to the X-Factor searching for talent??
I could NOT, possibly, grasp the fact how Rachel could have had the lowest votes ... but more importantly, I couldn't believe the judges let her and Lloyd go to deadlock.
Hello?! I like Lloyd. I think he's sweet, and I'm sure deep down he's a charming fellow. But how could they even compare those two? They weren't even in the same league ... I think Rachel has so much power in her voice and when she started crying when she realised she'd go, I nearly broke down with her.

It seems people want to see a very bad singer with a lovely character and good looks more than sheer, pure talent. A talent show, you say ?
Says a lot about the people, actually.

Rachel was an awesome contestant. she shouldnt have gone!!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh my gooooooooood!!!!

I can't believe rachel went!!!
She was much better then lloyd apparently he lost his voice.
Anywayz I just want to say rachel you were great!!!!
It's all simons fault if he just voted for rachel then we wouldn't have gone down to a dead lock!!!

Rachel I just luv you!!!
One day i will go on the x factor and show that MR. SIMON COWELL and one day you will be a singer!!!
And i can't believe you were on mama mia i just luuv the songs!!!I thought i saw someone exactly like you!!!

By Aalia.. Posted November 7 2009 at 6:07 PM.

I have a good respect for
Mr. S. Cowell but I have a feeling someone wants to distroy his show. Simon, put the show back to the track and don't leave this happen!! You are going to loose your credibility due to these jeaulous people.
Since Mr. Frank was voted out the show, I stopped to watch the program. It is very sad to see a dream no come thru!!!!

we are raging that rachel got booted out of the competition, she was one of the best singers there!
JOHN AND EDWARD should be elliminated!!!!

By ds and ab.. Posted November 2 2009 at 4:19 PM.

i respect all ur opinion guys.its quite unfortunate that i missed the act she put on.Notwithstanding, she exudes great talent.powerful voice for a young gurl.i think she should be given another chance,great fighting spirit.i also agree wit couple of comments made as regards to being herself, she also needs to choose her words wisely.be quick to listen and slow to speak, RACHEL STAY FOCUSED, ITS A COMPETITION NOT A PLAY GROUND.WELL DONE SO FAR, U AND UR MENTION NEED TO WORK HARDER ON UR SONG CHOICE.GUD LUCK BABES.I SEE U MAKING THE TOP 4, NO MATTER THE CHALLENGES

Rachel, if you want to remain in this competition for long , try and be yourself, and stop jumping about on the stage to Danini, you can always see her back stage. Concentrate your efforts on soliciting for votes from the audience. Your hair style this time was okay, but try all back ,so that you don't have to be brushing it with your hands all the time.
Well done, continue connecting with the audience. All the best.

By temi.. Posted October 29 2009 at 7:35 PM.

i really dont think she is a great vocalist at all to be onest ricky should have stayed he had more talent an how fake was she last sat it was as if she was tryin to b stacey BOOT HER OUT !!!

By keri.. Posted October 28 2009 at 10:50 PM.

Rachel is one of my favorites but I am not impressed with her latest personality developments.Why all dat fake happiness?Please STOP IT OR YOU WON'T GET MY VOTE AGAIN.YOU ARE NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL WITH A GIFT FROM GOD.GO N SING AND STOP IMITATING OTHER PPL.ALL THAT YOU DID ON SAT,WAS FAKE AND REMEMBER,YOU HAVE NOT WON THE X-FACTOR YET.YOU STILL NEED US TO SUPPORT YOU.I AM A PROUD AFRICAN AND WILL STAND BY YOU AS LONG AS YOU REMAIN YOURSELF.GO GAL

By Kaizer.. Posted October 26 2009 at 7:42 PM.

Rachel has such a powerfull voice it is so amazing, and why she was in the bottom two for two weeks is beyond me, and her personality has always been like that just watch through the different stages of the show and it wll become clear, and also she wasnt full of herself she was happy, which for gods sake she deserved to be after that performance, i will be backing you till the shows done rachel love sophiie x

By Sophiie.. Posted October 26 2009 at 4:59 PM.

I agree with the comment about her personality change and being on something last night, talk about hyper.
She was so full of herself, hope she goes next week.

By chris.. Posted October 26 2009 at 12:59 PM.

Pleased Rachel went through tonight but Rachel, PLEASE, drop the fake personality. I cringed last night as we saw her trying to imitate Stacey - it was so obviously put on, and so embarrassing to have to watch. I don't dispute Rachel's coming out of her shell, but the whole craziness was cringeworthy to watch and came across as completely fake. Rachel, you have a good voice and don't need the silliness to win votes. Be yourself, calm down, and don't try and be someone you're not. Your voice will speak for itself. Aygo.

By Aygo.. Posted October 25 2009 at 9:30 PM.

was she on something or what? where did she all of a sudden develop this personality from, thought it was totally fake.!!

By sandie h.. Posted October 25 2009 at 11:52 AM.

Well it seems that after last nights performance rachel has suddenly developed a personality - or has she - a bit to much like stacey for me and very false sounding - and i cant stand the way stacey speaks and carries on its horrendous and irritating beyond belief. Yeah she can sing - so can all of them thats why they are there - but i think the reason she isnt getting the public vote is that we are all a bit sick and tired of the same "power voice girl singer" winning its getting to predictable. The tears, the sob stories are just not hacking it anymore neither will a new hairstyle or a suddenly gained personality, for me the reason she is constantly in the bottom two is simple - she aint all that and a bag of chips.

By sue.. Posted October 25 2009 at 9:10 AM.

I love Rachel and I can't understand why such a great voice is always in the bottom two ...she always hits the notes (and cheeky with it). Nothing wrong with her hair either, I like her look. She is a great little performer and I hope she stays in this week!

By Laura.. Posted October 24 2009 at 2:23 PM.

Poor Rachel I think Danii needs to sort out her song choices for her. Rachel you have a great voice and I wish you lots of luck xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

By Sue.. Posted October 23 2009 at 9:53 PM.

Rachel can sing compared to some of the people in the competition but i think she is too loud and she talks too much and she should get her hair sorted for sure the hair do makes her look like a drag queen

By grace.. Posted October 22 2009 at 2:17 AM.

The public has spoken over the past two weeks that they do not enjoy her singing. I totally agree with the public the two songs she has sung let me entertain you and if I were a boy she totally ruined them.
Hopefully this week she will go

By Iain McGregor.. Posted October 20 2009 at 5:17 PM.

Rachel is a great singer - I can't understand why she has been in the bottom 2 for 2 weeks running. This must be crushing for Rachel - her confidence must be zero right now. She has a fantastic voice and is far better than many of the others (Lloyd for one). I do think, however, that Dannii's song choices for Rachel haven't been great - 'Let Me Entertain You' is a horrible song in my opinion (!), and I didn't think 'If I Were A Boy' suited her voice, either. Hopefully Dannii will choose a better song for Rachel next week - she wholly deserves to stay longer in this competition.

By polo.. Posted October 19 2009 at 7:17 PM.


I'VE NO IDEA WHY THE POOR GIRL BEING VOTED OFF EVERY WEEK? COME ON GREAT BRITAIN: WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? SHE CAN SING BETTER THAN SOME PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN KEPT IN WEEK AFTER WEEK.

PLEASE GIVE HER A CHANCE. SIMON THANK YOU FOR HAVING SEEN THE POTENTIAL IN HER ALWAYS. I KNOW SIMON IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CRITICS IN THE WORLD, SO HE WAS RIGHT TO HAVE DONE SO. G---O O---N MY DAUGHTER RACHEL ADEDEJI. GIVE IT ALL WITH A GOOD FIGHT. YOU HAVE AUNTY NOR 'D' BEHIND YOU. LOT OF LUV, xxxxx.

By NOR 'D'.. Posted October 19 2009 at 5:16 PM.

I feel quite sad for Rachel, she is a good and beautiful singer but the hair need to be sorted out. She has a gorgeous face and beautiful eyes.

However, like Simon says, her mentor is just not working for her yet. Danni is the incompetent here and it is landing our Rachel in the dung. But the Grime Twins (or Jedward as they are fondly known in our house) what on earth is going on?!!

By ChugMeHome.. Posted October 19 2009 at 1:53 PM.

I would like to know why no one is voting for Rachel at all. Does it mean that Rachel has no family/friends in the area where she comes from in London? 'Cos people in Essex are voting seriously for Olly and Stacy, to the extent that some shops has Stacy's photo on their doors. I remember during Leona's and Alexander's people from their areas got up and vote seriously for them, and even in other areas I believe. Does it mean that the public does not believe that Rachel is good enough?

By anitoooo.. Posted October 19 2009 at 12:07 PM.

rachel is one of my favourites and didnt deserve to be in the bottom 2 yet again..but she needs to do herself a favour..and hold her head up high and stop looking like a kid that lost her dolly...someone has to be voted off and shes been lucky..shes still in.

if she is voted off in the coming weeks..she needs to just accept it like an adult and stop with the petted lip.

By avril.. Posted October 19 2009 at 11:44 AM.

Rachel does not deserve to be the bottom 2 again , am a very close family friend and knowing rachel shes a fighter and will keep fighting all the way. Spoke to her dad and he could not even watch the sing off- Had to go to lobby. But why she keeps been put in last 2 we really do not understand

By steve.. Posted October 19 2009 at 11:35 AM.

I really felt for rachel tonight being in the bottom 2 AGAIN COME ON GUYS N GALS wots appning I dont get it John and Edward and Miss Frank should have been bottom 2 Rachel doesnt deserve this she as talent come Danni and you should have gone and put your arms round her Cheryl does the poor girl was in a state.
