Mel, What Have You Done?

I'm sorry, I don't care how nice or fun he is - would anybody seriously buy his album or like to listen to him on the radio? Jay is by far the better singer

I'm surprised at Mel to be honest. Stevi was so out of tune in the sing-off, how can she say she heard him singing? :confused:

    To be fair Jay was badly out of tune too.
    Neither of them sang well and realistically neither of them would have a singing career outside of this show

    Jay is crap anyway, at least Stevi can provide some laughs, and he is fully aware that he is a novelty act, so its not like we are laughing at him.

    I thought Jay was great last night singing New York, New York (didn't see the point of the Jay-Z song at the start but otherwise it was great). I also liked his version of Mad World. He's had a few good performances. Stevi has not.

    Mel? What have you done? Exactly as the Producers said would be my guess. :)

    XF is as dodgy as a 9 bob note. It's obvious that the judges are told who to vote for, which is why the comments makes no sense.

    Jay was flat and strained in the sing-off and Mel said "Jay, your vocals were great". She complemented him when he sang dire.

    She's only following the script. Louis must have refused to be the fall guy this week so the girls had to vote Jay off.

    The other three decisions were fairly predictable. Mel must have had the ear piece in though.

    No complaints through, i dont mind either of them and Steve was probably better in the sing off.

    She did what she's paid to do: be an unthinking mouthpiece.

    Literally I think all he had to do was put in a solid performance and there would have been no way he'd have gone. But that was possibly the single worst sign off performance from this year imo. I don't know what the hell happened there. He seems to have been going backwards.

    So maybe out of the people who obviously weren't going to win, picking the showman (debatable on what sort of show it is) wasn't such a bad thing.

    Either way, they were both going to be also-rans.

    JJ was bottom 2 2 weeks in a row, what was the point of keeping him? He clearly wasn't getting the votes.

    It's better for him to make the "right" decision this week than be made to look like the bad guy again.

    Nope. She did as she was told.

    Thing is, it makes her look really stupid, what with her bleating on about how awful Stevi has been every week.

    This was the chance to get rid of Stevi. The problem now is that he may not be in the bottom two again for a few weeks so somebody good is going to lose their place while Stevi stays in. All of the other acts are better than Stevi so it was his time to go.

    :D

    I'd love to be a script writer for The X Factor. With my storyline, Stevi would win and 2nd place would be Overload who were drafted back in after a freak accident meant Stereo Kicks could no longer be in the show.

    It'd be a ratings winner!!! :p

    Why are people surprised by this any more? After Jedward & Lucie, Rylan & Carolynne people should know how the X Factor works by now.

    Besides, tonight's decision was actually justified IMO. Jay was awful in the singoff, Stevie out-performed him and the audience seemed to prefer Stevie over Jay.

    I'll admit that I liked Jedward & Rylan so I'm not anti-joke acts if I find them more entertaining. I just don't find Stevi entertaining and I know that's just my opinion, there were probably loads of people who hated it when Jedward & Rylan were saved in previous years. It's Mel I'm confused about after she went on for several weeks that she didn't get Stevi.
