As much as Louis is being brave (some might say foolish) with his song choice - Simon is being quite cowardly. I mean everyone's already heard Ro do Somewhere over the Rainbow - and knows that its good.
I would have thought Louis would choose Bohemian Rapsody for G4 to ensure they are no longer in this precarious position they seem to be in at the mo'. Perhaps Ro is not pulling in as many votes as we think.... |

![]() I remember him saying on This Morning a couple of weeks ago he thought they would make it to the final - not with songs like this they won`t

I dont know how Philip Scofield kept a straight face on This Morning this week when Louis said that G4 would be singing something totally different from last week. I thought he had finally got the message.

I am intruiged about Rowetta - she seems a lot calmer than when we first saw here, I imagined they would have problems keeping her quiet when the others are being talked to.
I wish Steve would say more, I like him, but he needs to respond more when he is asked questions. I am looking forward to hearing G4, but I doubt very much they can pull it off. Obviously they will sound good, as they clearly are an amazing group, but I would much rather hear them sing something heavy and rocky maybe. |

WHOA!!!!!! This is quite shocking!!1 I cant believe this! G4 is toast if they sing that song!! That is soooo sad! Louis, have you lost your mind! DAMN!!!Rowetta took a risk with that U2 song last week, that was a strange one that worked out good, so singing the rainbow song is good. I am glad we will hear more of it!!! and it is a great song for her!she needs a good solid song this week!

From the little I heard of 'Amazing Grace',I thought it was quite horrendous.
Didn't think Steve sounded anything special either.If anything he still sounded husky. |

When I heard Steve with his laryngitis I thought fair enough, this is 50% according to Simon. But he sounded exactly the same - or near enough - when he had supposedly recovered.
I'm reserving judgement on G4 for the moment, so far they have my sympathies. As has been said many times on this thread Louis is obviously not capable of dealing with an act like this - not because they are so brilliant, but they are different than the bands/artists LW has had success with. |

Hey there, I'm new, so howdy all!
Just thought I'd inject a fresh opinion. Stupid song choices are not necessarily a bad vote. Think Rationally, if G4 and 2 to go are in the bottom , Louis can save his stronger group, (prob G4, by a whisker) and next week via the sympathy vote they should be safe and secure. But what if the same happens to 2 to go, and they're safe this week? I wouldn't bet against it. What if Steve or Rowetta are there against G4? is Sharon gonna side with Simon? Louis knows 2 to go will have avid fans on the phones...it could save them. I feel sorry for Emma and Peter, they have a dire repertoire to work with (name me one credible boy/girl duet which have lasted, and produced a half decent song? Single figures eh!) and it would do the music industry no harm at all to have these two sort it out finally. Anyone remember PI2? Who was in the bottom 3 the first week? Leon (amazing), Kirsty (pretty good), and a certain finalist called Mark(average)... Anyway, sympathy and tactics play more a part than songs. It wouldn't surprise me if any of them won this comp, all predictability went out the window ages ago. But will any of them last? Pessimistic feel here. Anyhow, I think the G4 will sing one more time after this weeks show...(sorry bout the pun) Mr T :-P |
