I'll put up Paul's poll after the live performances From DS -Security has been increased on The X Factor amid claims by militant Omar Bakri that the show is anti-Muslim. The preacher voiced his opinions after learning that this year's contestants are recording a charity single called 'Hero' to help British soldiers injured in conflict, according to The Sun. Bakri, who reportedly warned Sir Paul McCartney that the "sacrifice operatives will be waiting for him" should he play a concert in Israel, told Muslims not to wear Help For Heroes wristbands or to buy or sell the show's charity single. The 50-year-old, exiled to Lebanon in 2005, claimed on a website that the show is drumming up hatred and warned of the "dangerous implications" should his words be ignored. "Some people may find excuses for those people, ignorance and so on. If after three days, if they continue, you are barred from these people and their deeds. Even watching the show - those people are committing a form, a type, of muadaat (hatred). And that action is a form of kufr (non-belief)," he said. A show source said the issue was being taken "very seriously" and that CID and anti-terrorism officers had been called in. "We are in the process of discussing extra security measures for Saturday night’s live show," the source added. I saw this on the front page of The Sun today

This is the theme week I always dislike. I've never been a fan of this type of music at all. I'm sure they'll wheel out the perennial favourites such as Mr Bojangles and Mack The Knife. I am racking my brain as to what would suit Eoghen though??

I really hope they don't give Eoghan a song like Mack the Knife, would hate that!

Urrgh. I don't really like Big Band week, it was on the third week of last year's series when Alisha finally stayed out of the bottom two, bless her.

Could be a good week for Rachel. I'm sure someone is missing from that list, but I can't figure out who.

Although that was Scott's best performance, I still don't like him.
