Gary Barlow claims Misha B has "no chance" of winning 'The X Factor' after she accused of being a bully.

Although the 19-year-old hopeful gave two strong performances on last night's (03.12.11) show, the Take That star says she won't be able to win because of his fellow judges Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh calling her a bully a few weeks ago.

He said: "Misha I mentioned the positive side of you being here earlier but there is a negative side as well and that's I've sat here and witnessed your journey and it makes me sad.

"You have been wrongfully accused of being someone that you're not. Even if you are lucky enough to get through tomorrow night, I don't think you can win because of that and that's a shame."


Her mentor Kelly Rowland seemed to agree with Gary, telling Misha - who performed 'Dancing in the Street' and 'F**kin Perfect': "Win, lose, X Factor, no X Factor, you are a star! A star!"

Show favourites Little Mix also received mixed reviews of their two performances - 'You Keep Me Hangin On' and 'If I Were A Boy' - as Gary said their vocals weren't at the level they should be.

He said: "For a semi final act these vocals aren't good enough tonight."

However, he was interrupted by the group's furious mentor Tulisa, who slammed her hand on the table and said: "There is only one record contract and if people want to hear your music then they have to pick up their phone and vote."

Marcus Collins and Amelia Lily also performed and both got good reviews from the judges.
