Oh no way, that's cos he fancies her, no way is she a better singer than Lloyd

poor otis
poor lloyd

Me too, would love an album of all tonight's background stuff

rowetta's mum aaaaaahhh

i missed that bit what happens next week?

Really looking forward to the live show, roll on next Saturday

They know nothing! I'm the public and I wanted Lloyd.

One Oliva Newton John was plenty thankyou Cowell.

i think there were some strategic eliminations this week

the main beneficiary of louis and simon's decisions was sharon

I do believe Simon and Louis have picked their acts with a view to the voting audience as evidenced by PI2 for example. Judging by recent reality shows, they probabaly have the right idea and have been here before. Sharon appears to have gone with her heart. I do believe 16 is too young to be out there, the industry raises you up and spits you out and 16 is too young to handle this. Is Sharon hoping Tabby gets the young vote because the other guy would have been better. The young vote aren;t generally rockers and neither are the grandma's, I also wonder about the format of the show, if it is like previous ones, it will be singing a theme and can a rocker handle that, the danger is he will be branded a one trick pony, having siad that Kurt won, but we had European voters. I wonder if Louis has thought about the young vote at all because the boy bands would have been more attractive to them than the others. I wonder if he has been on here and thinks G4 will walk it. Oh well let it roll, and may the best person win, no sympathy votes please. Yeah that's going to not happen

Poor Andy
Poor Lloyd
Didnt agree with either Tabby or Verity going through in their respective groups and Voices With Soul were fairly lucky too. I think its between Rowetta and G4 but Roberta and Steve could be there till the end too.

im guted for andy and llyod! i really liked them too.
My fav in sharons group is proably cassie althought im not that keen on any of those 3!
I like g4 in louis group
and Rowetta and Steve are both brilliant in simons.

I dont want simon to win but IMO he has chosne the best singers unlike sharon!

Wow, I was surprised at a few of the choices, I can't believe that Lloyd didn't make it!

I really thought Andy had something and that the boy bands tho a bit samey could have got the young girl vote. It just seems that Simon knows his audience but as I love Rowetta I will forgive him

Personally, I think Sharon's choices are too sentimantal, most of her acts can't stand up to Simon and Louis' acts. Take the blonde girl she looks like Jessica simpson and dresses like sheryl Crow, she has the parsonality of a slice of bread and even the programme editors think so; because we didn't see much of her till she got to the finals.

Then there is the other girl who according to sharon has an image problem except she ups her game during the live show people would be unmoved by her, because she is just there! she is pretty, she can sing but she really hasn't got the X factor.

Tabby is Sharon's most sentimental choice, she is used to rock and roll people like him so she gets him and can handle him, he is better for a different kind of market that isn't as commercial as "X Factor/ Pop Idol", the people who he appeals to are too "cool" to vote.

I don't think that 16 is too young to make it, not at all.
I think that Cassie is my favourite now in the under 25 group and Rowetta is my favourite in the over 25 group.
I am unsure about Voices to Soul, i personally have heard a lot better gospel singers in the church so i am not sure if i find them that great or not. I think that i need to hear more of them.
They are my favourites now though in the group section but i doubt that they will get the support from the GBP so they could well be going home next week.
Poor Odis he looked so sad at the end.

.....you really do have a problem with ear wax........they were awesome - Louis Walsh summed it up when he said "wow" after they sang.....and the vocal coach looked on in awe and admiration.

I cant belieeeeeve Andy didnt get through! What a travesty. Huge mistake by Sharon, he could've won this.

i wasn't referring to their singing
i was referring to their less than zero.... x-factor
but come to think of it i will press the mute when theyre on next week

..........you don`t know what you will be missing......I will enlighten you next week after they have sailed through to the next round

Pennycandle - You and I will be fighting G4s corner all the way. I like Rowetta too but she has enough fans on here already.

okay....i'll listen and cringe

Wow, anyone watching ITV2? Simon's house ......drool and he only uses it 6 months of the year, and half the rooms have never been used. Wonder if he needs a housekeeper?

i would watch but i'm trying to avoid G4...they're scary

Rowetta is scary when she is angry. Steve is taking his life in his hands.

Does anybody know, why we are getting two shows of Extra Factor this week? Was the main show supposed to be in two parts like last week, but got changed in the last minute?
