If only they take away the girl , the instrumental gimmicks, & last but not least Louis from the beginning of this competition so that Peter could have ended up with Sharon (instead of Roberta or even Cassie) and Peter would be a really serious contender.

I'm not at all mad about this out of date duo style of singers & Emma didn't help either ( she's better off just as a backing singer maybe) but Peter I think has a very good voice.

I agree, I've said on a few threads now that even though I don't rate 2 to Go as a duo, I do think that Peter has a lot of talent and a lovely voice and that Emma is hopeless........ and of course the fact that they have that idiot as a mentor ain't gonna help lol.

Peter obviously does have a lot of talent but i dont think he will ever make it as an artist in his own right. He is such a good musician that maybe he go down the road of session musican, although then he wont be able to do vocals.
I just cant see him making it.

Absolutely. Why did Louis always make them sings songs that in the past had been done by male/female duos (a very dated style) and last night, Peter behind the keyboard and Emma dancing away beside him - they looked wrong together.

Peter could do really well on his own

Peter is talented, he should be solo. He has a stunning voice and doesn't need Emma. Their voices don't go together IMO, he's more Stevie Wonder whereas Emma's voice is very ordinary. A lot of the songs they can sing are tailored to Emma's ability so naturally Peter suffers.

If Peter had been with Sharon I doubt he would have gotten this far, look at what she did to nice andy.

Got to agree that Peter really does have alot of talent which to be honest Emma doesn't match nor complement. God love her though I wouldn't want to be the one to suggest this to her or him.

Go back to the 1970's. '2 To Go' would have won a television talent competition, released two or three hit singles and a best selling album, and had lots of stage/tv work etc.. But now, as they are, the act is dated and would not be mainstream chart material.

I think the female singer is just on a 'free ride' with Peter. He would have had a better chance in the show as a solo artist.

This is about as stupid a comment as Louis. Peters blindness has nothing to do with his ability. Bloody hell.

Yeah Peter can play a range of instruments and sing. I don't think he has the X-Factor though.

Elvis wasn't fat when he 'made it'. Nor was John Lennon old. I don't remember anyone saying Hucknell was 'too ginger' nevermind "the world".

I won't even start on the blind comment.

As I have said before, Peter could go the whole Jamie Cullum route, because he doesn't have the voice suited for fast paced songs. I would love to hear an MTV Unplugged album of him singing slow soul ballads on a grand piano. That would be a lovely Christmas present.

FGS, a one man band plays 10 instruments at the same time. Doesnt mean he should be a star cos of it!!

And when did the world say Elvis was too fat, Lennon was too old, Hucknell too ginger? Lennon wa only 40 when he died.

If Peter is as talented as you seem to think (which I doubt tbh) he'll make it, blind or not. Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles didnt let their blindness hold them back, nor did they get special treatment becuase of it. They made it through talent alone.

Perhaps Emma will be breaking up the partnership soon anyway - her boyfriend proposed last night

Hey There Jeffro,
You been at the E again matey?
Elvis WAS too fat but only when he hooked up with the Vegas casinos(bad management a la Walsh )...go back to when Elvis first recorded at Sun that boy was sex on legs....
I honestly don't think it's fair on Peter to compare him with The KING (that was)
Peter's partner Emma is the problem with 2 to Go,she looks 20 years out of date and has been holding Pete back from the get go.
Anyway PIV has said his piece,good talking with you Jeff.
No-one could ever say you don't wear your heart on your sleeve,a bit like me really.

Proposal eases X Factor rejection

A singer booted off television's X Factor broke down in tears after the show - because she was so happy.

Emma Paine, 23, and Peter Jones, 24, of Nottingham-based act 2 To Go, were voted off the ITV show after a final decision by judges Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.

But Emma cried in joy afterwards because she got engaged to her 31-year old boyfriend, Chris Friend.

There you go, AOL can be a peculiar beast at times
