Good one!
He'd probably not make jokes about these young lads, but I bet he'll be critical.

How will she top her audition?

"drum up publicity" is a good pun as rumour has it they will abuse the excuse that because 'The Highway Men' (Royal Marines Drummers) were unable to continue with the show due to work commitments, Lorna Bliss was brought in in their place.
Like they couldn't have put in someone else that was borderline, they had to pick someone so bad they she got 3 'Nos'
Fix Fix Fix
The only saving grace is that she will not be going any further!
It seems completely wierd and insulting that someone who didnt even progress through the auditions is now in the live finals.
The only way I can see them explaining it adequately is if they held a lucky dip from all the acts.
But even then the spare place should have been filled by someone who progressed through the auditions but failed to get into the top 40
Or maybe they asked the act that was leaving who they wanted to replace them

The only act I'm looking forward to is Herbie Armstrong. Oh yeah, I won't even be in this evening! I'll just watch his performance on YouTube.

All of those scenarios are flawed and crazy. - That's not a reflection on you! - I couldn't come up with any better explanations. The point I'm trying to make is that no matter how good a reason anyone could come up with, it wouldn't be good enough to excuse the act of bringing her back
I'm just so GRRrrrrr

We've said that before though - I'm not counting my chickens. I think we might have to cover her in salt to stop her rising again.

Meh, she is a softcore act... she doesn't interest me in the slightest... even if she got naked I doubt I'd go wow tonight.
I mean look at how they umed and ahed over those two dances. Neck and neck but they put the French one through in the end - Are they saying that they chose a nobody who didn't get a single vote and was thrown out, is the first on the list when they need a replacement?
So many acts under consideration for the top 40, all of whom had been put through on a majority vote, but no, they get someone they didn't vote for at all and sent home.
It stinks more than a stinky thing that has been left to rot in the sun.

Well one thing the public will not stand for is unfairness. They won't vote for her on principle. So it would be one hell of a massive fix if she does get through.

They could have replaced them with an act like Michael Moral, or even Reece Daly, give the ventriloquist a chance.
What's the point of her losing out in the audition, then being brought back, and then losing out again because no one is going to vote for her? I'm probably going to change the channel when her performance is on, because it's far too inappropriate for tender ages, and it's supposed to be an entertainment show.

They should have replaced the drummers with Michael Moral or somebody else who didnt quite make it, not someone who got 3 buzzes!
It's ridiculous really. There's no way Lorna Bliss should be taking part. She seemed quite pleasent after getting the 'no's' at the audition stage but that's still no excuse in regards to putting her through. There were some talented acts who've been ditched just so she can parade about in her underwear for 90 seconds.

Both decent acts, but I'd like to see Jean Martyn get through. And don't forget Karen and David - hard semi tonight.
The bottom line that they must explain (which they won't) is why and how was Lorna Bliss picked over and above anyone and everyone else? She didn't even get through her first audition!
"The judges decided that..." Is just not good enough.

Who I would like to see get through tonight is anything other than an act connected with music: meaning singer, dancer or musician.
We need variety!

Lorna shouldn't be there period
The obsession with Britney is very scary and odd
I dread to think what she will do tonight

Most acts are gonna have music. I'd be shocked if David and Karen for example didn't have music accompanying their work. In fact, I'd be surprised if a single act tonight didn't use music of some kind.
Special display for Mr.Cowell
