Chico Slimani rates the X Factor finalists
1 of 13
Chico Slimani was a bundle of laughs throughout the second series of X Factor. What's more, he was the first person to write a song especially for the show.
The suitably ironic It's Chico Time was written after his famous catchphrase (Chico: "What time is it?", audience: "It's Chico time!"); it knocked Madonna off the top spot. Yes, you read that right.
If anyone's best-placed to judge the X Factor finalists, it's someone that's been through it.
Speaking of this week's show, Chico said: "Another shock exit but I was delighted for Rylan to get through on public vote."

Rylan ClarkThis guy has taken so much stick. Yet he's still smiling. All he's doing is living his dream. The X factor needs a Rylan; he's entertaining, good looking and what I love is he doesn't take life too seriously. Which reminds me of another person who once said: "You can get delirious if you take life too serious." It's Rylan time.topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2

Union JWhat a difference from last week! I predict big things for this band. Bleeding Love is a big song, but they more than did it justice. Well done boys.topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2
Melanie MassonThis girl has got a set of lungs on her - boy can she sing! She didn't deserve to be in the bottom two, however a dead lock with the boys was always going to go against her. She can bow out with her head held high though. Well done sweetheart.topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2
Jade EllisI love this girl; she sang beautifully. Full of emotions and sincerity. Just carry on doing your thing girlfriend, cause it's all good!topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2
MK1Love their energy and swagger. Stay true to you and keep Louis out of your creativity. The votes will come, don't worry. topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2
Chris MaloneyStrong vocals, but if he's to stand a chance of reaching the later stage of the competition, he needs to make the songs his own and make them current.topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2
Ella HendersonI just can't stop saying enough good things about this girl. Her interpretation of songs is something special. A bright star, a bright future indeed.topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2
Lucy SpragganIncredible! Again if that song is released it will be a hit. She ain't no one-trick pony! That's talent and a star who's gonna go far.topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2

James ArthurOh my, oh my! This guy is so good! He is out of this world. Different class all together. His version of Mary J Blige's No More Drama is a number one hit. He takes you on a journey; a rare gift and one of my favourite artists to emerge in the music industry. One word; superstar!topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2
Kye SonesNot bad, but he's got so much more to give. He's nowhere near his audition standard, which is a real shame cause it's in there, but I think he's gotta find himself so we get to know the real Kye. Come on son, you can do it!topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2
District 3Not bad, but not great. Very lucky it went to deadlock. They need to up their game. They've got great harmonies and lovely tones, but they will be compared to Union J and right now, they have some serious catching up to do. Bring out the baby oil, boys!topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2
Jahmene DouglasThis boy can sing! Incredible tone. His high notes in full voice other singers can only reach in falsetto. Simply amazing.topThis field has been disabled for Gallery V2
