I feel really sorry for Frankie.

As long as idiots keep voting for him and Gary keeps lying to him, he will think himself talented.

He's in for a rude awakening at some point.

He's in for a rude awakening alright and I said so on another thread last night.

I don't feel sorry for him though.

I do feel a bit sorry for him as he's very young and doesn't realise how limited his talent is. He's utterly out of his depth on the live shows and should never have been put through. I feel that he's been set up to fail.

We can't really say if his talent is limited as we do not know what his talent is - it certainly isn't singing!

Nothing to feel sorry for.

I reckon he knows he can't sing but he's using the show as a platform for fame. It's a means to an end for the lad. I don't feel sorry for him.

Come on, he knows he's not talented and makes it clear he wants one thing and that is girls. He's bright enough to work out the system current and how to play it. Funny sticky up hair, swagger and attitude ='s money and girls, temporary or otherwise. Worst to me, will be the long line of "girls" who will do one nighters or even less to get their moment of fame in the newspapers. Just hope they use a condom.

He's got it made if you work on the level he seems to.

He certainly is a "little cocky" and if he comes anywhere near my Daughter with "it" i would cut it off

I don't think he is very good. Kelly got it right when she said the voice was the problem, he just doesn't have it. Some singers have a certain something about them that makes up for that but he doesn't. I do not, however, think he is particularly cocky. I don't know where that idea came from. He's just a boy, reminds me of a front man for a school boy band. A bit out of his depth really. Wish costume/make up would do something about his hair!

I don't mind him, he's better than Rythmix anyway.
Theres always going to be one contestant it's fashionable to hate, its whether or not you follow the crowd just for the sake of following the crowd.

I feel sorry for him. his performance on Saturday was cringe worthy.
And some of the stuff people say about him is plain mean.
Poor kid, it's not his fault he's still there.

Yes it is - I mean the decent thing to do would be to sod off home.

Seriously? Frankie is an arrogant know it all who thinks that just because he sleeps around makes him a Rock Star. Dream on son! He will be out next week if the public see sence. It's only teenage girls voting for him anyway.

Even Gary admitted he was rubbish now!

Frankie's sole purpose in being put on the live shows was to attract the 12-year-old vote, which is quite a high percentage. If he managed to sing well, that would be a bonus, but sadly he can't (how I laughed at his attempts to get to grips with Cold Play last week). He'll be out on his tiny little tuchas as soon as he's in the bottom two again, and it will be engineered that he gets there.

He's not pretty enough for the tween demographic though. MAJOR casting error there if that's the role the producers intended him to fill

James would have been a far better choice.

Swagger and attitude 20%
Arse Tattoos 20%
Pete Doherty Dress Sense 10%
Bad Hair 30%
Tight Trousers 10%
Drinking Ability 5%
Vocal Ability 5%

Unfortunately it's primarily a singing contest...................see ya Frankie

Yeah, but he's a bit edgy (at least if you're 12) and dangerous, I guess, and he's got that "If it moves, I'll have it" vibe which makes the wee souls think they're in with a chance. Very, very sad.

There are young people who deserve my respect and sympathy; like Harry Moseley. Frankie doesn't and with his attitude I doubt he ever will.

I feel far sorrier for those of us who have to hear him 'sing' again come Saturday....

Ugh
