I didn't watch the X Factor that week when Maria was voted off. So it has to be Lucie last night.

Ruth out-performed Laura in the sing-off, so on that basis, she deserved to go. She shouldn't have been in the bottom 2 in the first place, but then that's not really her fault. People just didn't vote for her.

Laura white of course was the biggest shock. I don't remember Maria Lawson but i remember the conway sisters being crap. Lucie being in the bottom 2 was no surprise to me as she's just an average singer with no stardom quality whatsoever.

Laura's was probably the least suprising, seeing as I think the furthest she could have got was 5th at best, which is where Ruth finished. And Ruth was a good vocalist. It was jus shocking that people like Daniel, Eoghan and Rachel beat them into Week 6.

The Conway's could actually sing, it was still a pathetic ridiculous decision by Louis. But they could hold a tune! Clearly the wrong decision, seeing as the Conway's just became a pawn in the judges mind games. Every week they were just used by the third judge to get rid of a better act (Maria, then Nicholas, then ironically Simon sent them home over Chico)

So considering the twins could not sing, harmonise, dance. Lucie could sing and was one of the better vocalists, and was beginning to establish a niche for herself. And not to mention the fact Simon lied and was a hypocrite when he said he will purely judge it on the sing off performance, this was the most unfair decision on any talent show.

Laura White was the biggest shock for me - she was my favourite at that stage.

Maria for me as Louis deliberately chose to send her home against a much weaker (but Irish) act.

Didn't get Laura at all and though Ruth was a better act and deserved to stay.

Last night was all about headlines but didn't really care found Lucie totally bland and forgettable. Plus my son loves J&E and if he's happy, so am I.

I wasn't really shocked by any of them but i'll say Maria. Reason being is because i agree with the other 2 results, if i was voting i'd pick Ruth over Laura and i'd rather see Jedward than Lucie.

for me maria was the biggest shock,the night the show 'lost' it.irish voting for irish ...complete nonsense!!
laura and lucie shouldn't have been in the bottom two anyway.
felt sorry for all 3 girls.
btw, everyone likes to say that ruth outsang laura .that's a matter of opinion of course ,both songs were of a different genre and arrangement.and i personally prefered laura's' somewhere over the rainbow'

Maria. I didn't find Laura going shocking, or Lucie. I thought both were the right decision. But Maria against the Conway Sisters was wrong.

Laura or Maria. Laura because she was in the bottom 2. Although I can understand that she went out to Ruth. Maria again because she was in the bottom two and went out to the conway sisters.

Lucie I really thought LLoyd/Jamie/J&E would be bottom and J&E would get sent home

Laura. Lucie did a great first audition but had shown no signs of star quality - and was only just about passable as a singer - ever since. I don't remember the first one TBH but anyone going against the Conway Sisters would be horrifying.

Have to agree - and I don't think either Laura or Lucie are in the same league vocally as Maria. Both seem pretty average singers to me, who have been over-hyped by their fans ...

Which Week 5 shock was the most surprising?

Maria Lawson going against The Conway Sisters
Laura White going against Ruth Lorenzo or
Lucie Jones going against John and Edward
I didn't think any of those three were particularly brilliant so none of them were shocks.

It was a shock to see both Laura and Ruth in the bottom, but Ruth completely outsang Laura. Maria vs the Conway Sisters was absolutely ridiculous. The Conway Sisters never should have been in the competition in the first place. Simon was just doing a favour to Louis by taking on an act who supported Westlife. Lucie vs Jedward, I know she was going to go for the shock factor. Yes she is a better singer, but I agree with Simon. Neither are going to win, but she is boring and I know who I would rather see on my screen for longer.

Maria.

The Conways were dire and not entertaining at all; Ruth out-sang Laura and Lucie got the least amount of votes and at least she went to someone entertaining.

Laura. Though it wasn't surprising she went against Ruth; who slaughtered her in the sing-off. There was someone on the Xtra Factor people's panel yesterday who said Laura was "clearly better." Ha.
