    I do agree, for him personally. But funny how he got the top votes on that week.

    I know - especially after Cher's ridiculously over hyped pimp slot performance that week.

    It maybe suggests that a critical percentage of voters voted with their groins instead of their ears and brains. Or maybe there's another explanation.

    Zooom!! Worst song choice ever! Poor John!

    Other's worth a mention:
    Mary - There You'll Be - that song needs a soft vocal.
    Katie - Sex on Fire
    Cher - Imagine
    Belle Amie - Airplanes (love the song but it doesnt suit a group)
    TreyC - Relight my Fire
    All of Storms
    Diva Fever - Duck sauce - they were given a song that hardly had any lyrics to it.

    Aiden - Thriller - It was a absolute massacre of the song and a completely pointless non-dance routine..

    Nicolo's Just Dance and Diva Fever's Barbra Streisand. Dear lord, those were the worst choices ever.

    Diva Fever seemed bitter about it too. In their F Factor interview, they were asked something along the lines of what song they'd sing next week if they were still in (I may be completely wrong about the question...) but they said "something with more than three notes...thanks, Simon"

    or maybe people thought that he was so good, even with a poor song (and I hate that song) he was better than the competition. IMO only perhaps half a dozen performances of any of the other acts came close to even Matt's worst song choices, a couple of Chers, a couple of Aiden's and a couple of Rebecca's.

    That said the week he did Bleeding Love, Cher did Stay, which, for me was the only week that his performance was not the best on the night and whilst as he was my favourite act, I did vote for him, I voted for Cher too.

    I love Matt but really didn't like his Beatles song, complete with dodgey white vest lol.

    Also during rock week he really had the pick of virtually every rock song ever written to showcase what he could do in that genre- and what did he get lumbered with? "I love Rock and Roll". OK, he did a great job with it but I was expecting something amazing- With or Without You by U2 or something like that (Although of course he also sang NIWS that night which was superb).

    They're prob not stricly the worst choices, but they stand out for me cos I was disappointed in them as Matt was/is my complete favourite.

    Votes don't seem to have anyhthng to do with decent song choices. Lots of people have pointed out that votes go up if Simon tells someone they're in danger and down when he tells them they're safe; also if someone particularly likes one of the acts they sometimes vote for them a few more times when they pick a dodgy song as they perceive other people won't, as they want to beef up their votes.

    I say this as someone who doesn't vote, but I could perceive that's how voters would act.

    Then there is a totally different kind of voter who just votes once each week for whatever they think is the best performance, but it feels as though the majority of votes are just for the voter's favourite act altogether.

    Thought overall there was a lot of naff choices and made me wonder about the mental state of the alleged mentors.To be honest sometimes song choice and bad delivery can combine to create a bad impression but some acts got some real duds. i think Rebecca suffered cos any charge she could have made for the title was lost with a series of bad choices and poor delivery, especially in the final cos apart from Sweet Dreams she fluffed it over song choice on the solos and a bad duet pairing. Matt got three shockers in Bleeding Love, I Love R n R and Come Together. I dont think we got to see the best of Paije. The Faith Hill number for Mary was awful and LW failed to really work her out and give her less cliched numbers and found some more interesting material that was more modern and could suit her . Storm got two duds. Sex on Fire and Losing my Religion for Katie were terrible choices. Zoom for John, if he had done a better track would he have made another week. Jealous Guy for Aiden to name just one for him tho he had a couple of inspired ones as well.

    My personal choices:

    Diva Fever - Barbra Streisand
    Matt - Come Together
    Cher - Imagine
    Katie - Sex on Fire/Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting
    Mary - There You'll Be (not so much for the song but the fact she struggled with so much of it)
