If as expected the voting leaks were the correct, she is stil sitting somewhere in the middle of the pack , although the four outsiders are apparently close in the voting.

I suppose being old, irish, a checkout operator etc is still making a significant difference

Since they forced her to sing news songs her weakness has really been exposed.
I posted the other night very bad move them talking about her missing Family,because people will get fedup with it and not bother voting so she can return to them.

If Mary is getting away with murder then what is Wagner getting away with - genocide?

Oh yeah- this is Mary's fault :sleep:

Seriously
I've heard it all now- yes, I would definitely blame Mary over Simon

It's Mary's fault that katie has been in the bottom two four times and is still there

It's Mary's fault Katie got saved against TreyC

It's Mary's fault Katie survived against Aiden

If Mary had been in the bottom two she'd have been gone yesterday

Just because you don't like an act doesn't mean they are to blame because Katie keeps getting saved

She's been bloody awful the last few weeks.

I guess being Irish will save her for quite a while yet.

Yawn! The Irish vote ! The Scottish vote! moan.moan. moan. The total populations, including babes in arms,voting together, doubled and doubled again, they're still no match for the possible English vote!

Do you think if she was 5ft 8" blonde, under 30, had breasts that pointed upwards, she would avoid the bottom two with those recent performances

Not thinking of anyone in particular

There isn't if the English vote, but few people vote until the final rounds except when they have a greater incentive like regional support, or anti-Cowell support (Wagner) or other reasons.

I agree..We get this year in year out..The Scots save their own, the Irish are now doing so.......Blah blah blah..Has it occurred to these peeps who bang on about it that England has more population than Scotland, Ireland and Wales put together? Or perhaps the English aren't as passionate about their 'own' and don't vote as much...!! Just an assumption

Mary has not been great the past few weeks but she has never deserved to go as much as some people.

For the first time this show actually got rid of who the public wanted to get rid of. I was a fan of Aidan, but he did poll the lowest votes and in my book that a "thanks but no thanks"

The judes should take it to deadlock each week and let the public decide who they like/dislike........

That's my point, DUNDEEBOY lol
If there is a contestant who isn't English and happens to be from Scoland Wales or Ireland.., Out comes the " Oh, the Scots / Welsh / Irish will save them "..Gets boring after a while

Mary is getting away with murder. Every week Louis chooses a safe song for her and fairer enough she sings them well but when is she going to take a risk and try something a little more modern or at least out of her comfort zone.

Shes been poor since Haloween week.

Although to be fair, they all have barring Matt and Rebecca really, the last three shows have been awful quality.

Big Band week would have seen her top the votes, Im absolutely sure, she is very, very good at doing the big belters, I think her week one performance is still the best of the series for anyone, but she cannot, for some reason, do anything else at all.

Modern songs seem to throw her, whether its confidence, whether its lack of musical education or shes just frightened of them I dont know, but she seems unable to get the notes right unless its a song she has likely known and practiced for thirty years.

Oh, please. She was a million times better than the majority of the acts on Saturday night. I'm not even a huge fan of Mary, but she most certainly deserved to stay.

Why should she or anyone else take that risk unless the theme demands it?

Can we expect to hear for example Matt sing a song with absolutely no falsetto, ID sing a song with no backing tape or backing singers etc............ a group should be self sufficient.

She has been given totally unsuitable songs and graveyard slots for weeks now, yet her vote still holds up. Let's see how the others do under the same circumstances. Wagner to sing a slow ballald at the start of the show? Matt having to sing a song with low notes? Rebecca to do a rock song? One Direction to do an accoustic number?
