I understand peoples' feelings.

On talent Aiden should have stayed.

Cowell's decision is purely to get reaction. Over the years he's realised that these types of decisions whip up public anger, and public anger makes Mr Simon Cowell money.

Judging on talent doesn't pack the same punch - so the Katie show rolls on - and lots of people get upset, and the show gets headlines.

The best way to respond is to not be manipulated into caring. Do you really want to be upset on a Saturday night over a light entertainment show?

The best response to such attempted manipulation is an apathetic shoulder shrug. I'm trying it right now and it feels rather good.

The right thing is not to vote for anyone - it's the only thing Mr C would take any notice of

Katie is being used as a puppet by Cowell as much as Wagner is.

Blatant manipulation by Simon and the producers. Many of us are intelligent enough to make our own minds up, but too many idiots watch X-Factor - people who are too easily swayed by everything else apart from the singing, whether it be Simons comments, the production, media coverage etc etc.

Nope. I'm a brighter bunny than that. But I don't like to think of so many of my lovely forum member friends getting all upset over such nonsense.

Exactly. More people should realise this.

I think she's going to have a really hard time releasing a "singing career" after X Factor.

She's just soooooo unlikeable!

Turning off would work. If only there was something decent on the other side....
