couple of weeks .. she could do nothing right in his eyes... wonder if it had anything to do with the recent media interest in her boyfriend
At the start he was raving about her being possible world class blah blah blah ... yet didn't hesitate to vote her off tonight!

Exactly, after tonight I have gone off him in a big way.
I've always liked Simon, and have respected his views....until recently. I too have gone off the guy.
He went off her very quickly, i think its when he realized he wanted diana to win not her, he had to get rid of the competition. Ruth is less competition than laura in the long run.
If Simon Cowell does feel this way, then it's understandable really.
He had a problem with Ruth in the first few weeks and now suddenly adores her.
Laura was his darling in week 1 and he turned on her suddenly.
Alexandra was a copycat and now she's one of his favourites.
And the whole oh you need to be more like Diana thing, clinched it for me!
No real big deal, but imagine the whispers and nudges if she kept going through
Not good for the image of the show really
I can't understand how it's understandable. Matthew hasn't got any influence over the shows, or any for that matter.
Laura was robbed tonight.
My thoughts entirely
Robbed of what?
Another couple of weeks in the show?
Because it's highly likely that's all she had left.
Simon doesn't want Eoghan to win.
There has been a swing back towards Alexandra, it seems. For the first 4 weeks, Laura was given the best slots on the show. For the first 3 weeks, she got exceptional praise that often skated over flaws as in MJ week. Only last week did Simon start to criticise her a bit and this week he properly criticised her.
Meanwhile, since week 3, Simon has been heaping praise on Alexandra in ever increasing amounts.
It looks like they have jumped ship, perhaps HMS White was destined for an iceberg and they realised there was nothing they could do about it? Even last week, they announced her name last before the bottom 2, which some theories suggest is a way of creating suspense among fans and getting them to vote the next week (Austin was last announced 2 weeks in a row before he went).
But this week seemed to be the peak of the turnaround, timed very well.
Just look at how they have hopped on board to support Diana and JLS due to internet activity (which may well be translating into votes)? Laura still had some backing last week, perhaps her figures are going down, because this week they seemed totally against her. They ride the waves of public support, and will steer the show towards that. Last year, when it became clear Leon could win (he supposedly started topping votes midway through) the comments started to become more positive. Meanwhile, Hope were reduced to tabloid fodder.
Laura was indeed robbed.
The boyfriend might have hurt her because some members of the public don't appear to realise that he's not a producer of the show and therefore has no influence. The story has been totally misconstrued. :mad:
I think it just goes to show that £££££ mean everything .. if he picked up that Diana is popular with the teens and as he seems obsessed with the High School Musical genre at the mo .. he's prob kicking himself he didn't think of it first!!! He was hoping Same Difference would bag that market for him, so maybe he's hoping he'll crack it with Eggnog and Diana.
Ruth will earn the ££££ for him in the latin genre .. just goes to show how callous the industry is really. The rest are just cannon fodder
Robbed, as in SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN VOTED OFF! That's what I meant, as you read it.
Another couple of weeks, I don't think so. Laura is one of the best singers, who also has a lovely personality to match.
Exellent post. Makes perfect sense.
