Would you like to see soldier Jonjo Kerr return at the weekend?

It would be a lovely gesture.

Why should he be there?

Two reasons:


1) He can't sing
2) Isn't he in Afghanistan right now?

Lovely gesture, yes.... but only a gesture.

Being one of "Our Boys" doesn't qualify you for a singing competition. He never should've been in the last 16, he wasn't good enough.

I wouldn't mind - I secretly rather enjoyed his performance - I like a man in uniform. Its not as if this were a singing competition

Galena you never fail to make me smile, as you say what singing competition, and as he is up to be voted back in surely to god he has to be in the country already.. hence the delay in the announcement they had to get the permission of the MOD.

I think that's unfair - for one thing he isn't a scummy drugbag and as far as my memory holds me he could sing well enough to hold his own in a pub karaoke competition - which is frankly a lot better than Frankie who just mumbles his way through songs.

He should stick to being a squaddie I'm afraid, when he performed it was like your older brother doing the full monty on stage, just embarrassing and cheesy.

Since when has the X Factor been a singing competition? Every time the judges, especially Cowell, have ever got stick for putting through a joke contestant or about saving an act that couldn't sing (Jedward for example) over an act that could (Lucie Jones for example) they have always justified themselves by saying that it isn't a singing competition but about finding the 'X' Factor.

If he is serving it makes me all the more likely to vote for him - it would be so funny if someone who can't take part gets voted back in. How would they dig themselves out of that hole?

You're right, but then the following week he'd use the exact opposite argument because it suited his purposes.

Just like the other old classic:

"You're the same every week, we're not seeing any versatility"

Then, the next week:

"That wasn't the real you, you should stick to what you do best"

Well I hope he is voted back in a wins it.

I would be nice for a member of the Armed Forces to win a TV talent show so they can see how appreciated they are by the public.

This is the charity he is an ambassador of:

Heroes Children Fund

I'm not entirely sure he even went back to his unit let alone active duty. His tweets certainly didn't give any hint that he was. he was gigging at a sports event at the weekend that was organised by tickets for troops and npower.

I didnt say anything against him - at all.

I merely pointed out he, like two of the other three, will be paraded on stage and told they are not wanted - again - for our supposed viewing pleasure.

I dont think using these people that way is right, it was crass exploitation the first time, now they are repeating the trick its verging on humiliation.

I didnt say it was his fault, I'm saying it shouldnt be happening ,x factor production has reached a new low.
