The poor boy is not as bad as the twins....how can people say he is worse?

He is a better singer, sure he does not have the confidence but with time confidence will build.

He has performed badly due to song choice, come on cry me a river, bleeding love....may be some of the worst song picks in history!

Give him an accousic number, no silly dancing and he will shine.

Also to be honest Lloyd is one of the only people who are marketable in this competition, regardless of what people think his looks will sell albums

He is utterly garbage; without doubt the worst contestant on any talent show in the world ever.

Hes got an ok voice if he has the right song. But fairly weak compared to the other contestants. But he is pretty hot

Nah, I'd rather not.

I hate him for the same reason I hate the twins; good acts are being sacrificed, while the likes of him remain in the competition, despite being shit every week, due to the teeny vote. It's utterly pathetic.

The twins are there as the joke act. They are absolutely dire, but they will get votes for various reasons. (Considering the mute button next week, but I guess you have to listen to judge.) Lloyd's performance was pretty weak though - out of tune and pointless backflip...

Isn't "hate" a bit strong?

As for Lloyd I think he has a decent enough voice. I think he'll be around for a couple more weeks.

He's not a bad singer, nice tone but I just don't think he has much range vocally. His performances are generally unmoving. There's not much emotion associated with the tracks he sings. I think there's some potential there to work with but not enough time this series for him to mature on stage, & I don't think he's meant to be as a solo artist. A group would suit him much more.

Lloyd is getting plenty of breaks. He has performed consistently badly but is still getting voted in every week thus giving him plenty of opportunity to try to improve.

I don't literally mean hate as a person, I'm sure he's a nice enough lad. As an act though, then yes.

Lloyd is a pygmy to Ethan's colossus. Stupid Cheryl.

I agree he is not as bad as the twins not one could be. I think he was very worried and thought he was going to go tonight.

It was a shame she did not choose Ethan instead of Rikki though still she cannot undo what she has done.

Its the Tele tubbie look he gives when the phone number comes up...

the guy has the looks but the personality of a dustbin

he never puts ANY emotion or feeling into a song IMO thats his main failure he sings totally flat without any emotion on show

No wrong...

He has been given rubbish song choices far out of his range..

How on earth was he ment to do well with a song like bleeding love....?

You cant give an act a song out of thier range...and expect them to rock it...its impossible

But it was a bit like choosing a turd in a bap over filet mignon i.e. the decision was so obvious that no-one else but Cheryl would be so stupid to make it.

He is so young though and I would imagine is finding the whole thing daunting.

Maybe he should cover 'I Should Be So Lucky', although I can barely think of a song insipid enough to be within Lloyd's 'range'

Lloyd is too similar to last year's Eoghan. Cute kid getting screaming teen girls' (multiple) votes, who has an okay voice that's drowned out by background music.

Lloyd has a very pleasant voice and is obviously a lovely lad.

But he is not the best singer in the competition. No way.

Its not about that anymore though, so ok, I will give him a break.

That made me laugh big time. To be honest you can replace the word "dustbin" with anything pretty inanimate and it'd work.

I know I was really suprised that she did not choose Ethan too I mean he had all apparently that was needed. Maybe she was not sure if she could work with him that might have been another factor. I don't know anymore it seems to be falling apart.

I think people are being far too hard on Lloyd on here. He was the one who stood out for me from the auditions because I believe he's got one of the most distinctive voices (in a good way ) and probably the most natural talent

If I'm honest I think he probably entered the show a couple of years too early and could have used his time improving his confidence and his stage skills. But I've still enjoyed all of his performances, despite the very dubious song choices.

And the OP is absolutely right about being marketable, he is he only one on this year's show who you could ever see on the front page of the tweenage magazines...

Go Llloyd!!
