'X Factor' show two - Rita Ora, Rylan and chimney sweeps: Your verdict

It was the sunshine. It was the Olympics. It was Red or Black's fault. Various excuses were thrown out to explain the disappearing millions who didn't watch last week's X Factor series nine launch.

Hopefully the missing fans have returned, because tonight's episode had the usual classic mix of the bad and the beautiful.



Rita Ora was the latest guest judge and displayed confidence and charm. Did you enjoy her stint on the panel?

Among the contestants were Ibiza party boy Rylan, a loveable chimney sweep (!) and singer-songwriter Lucy. Was one of them a potential winner?

Or did bedsit-dwelling guitar-twiddler James steal the show?

What did you make of this week's X Factor? Share your thoughts below!
