Its all very well the public voting Carolynne last but it had nothing to do with her singing!

Shes in the top 3 singers! Her voice is beautiful and her sing off was perfection!

Evidently the public thought she was safe and voted for the characters instead!

Yes she may have been last but the judges vote at the end is to ensure that when voting turns out this way because of 'public assumption that a certain act is safe' then the stronger singers will always be saved!

its a bloody travesty she went home

She didn't exactly have the X-Factor though and I thought her singing was out of tune in places - quite flat at times. Plus her off stage attitude needed a lot of work. She really thought the world owed her a break because of the usual sob-story rigmarole.

She came 13/13. She was the least popular among voters and it's voters who make the decision of who is in the bottom 2.
I agree that she is a good singer but I didn't vote.

It does mean though Rylan earned the right to stay in the show via democratic means. It is like Big Brother or Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!. At the end of the day, the public do make the final decision. It went to deadlock and she didn't have enough votes.

She frankly should be waking up today and being utterly embarrassed that she could not get more votes than Rylan. Everyone else did.

IT MEANS SHE WAS THE LEAST POPULAR though. What's the point in someone like that winning. She was very unlikeable. I wouldn't worry about her too much, there are lights to be switched on in burnley at Christmas!

But its not a popularity contest! Big Brother ended in september and Im a celeb doesnt start till next month!

If people wanna watch a popularity contest then watch those shows!

This is about singing talent and Carolynne had it in spades!

The fact 1direction 2, 1direction 3, Rylan, MK whatever theyre called and Spraggan finished higher than her is an absolute disgrace!

I expect the people who voted will have voted for the contestants they liked most or whose performances they most enjoyed, and in that Carolynne came 13th of 13.

It's hard to make much of a case for her having lost votes because people thought she was safe, when anyone who cared to find out will have found that, along with the three bands, she was a favourite to leave. My guess is Rylan is far more likely to have lost votes from his fans thinking him safe, as nearly everyone did think he was safe for a while.

Rylan was always going to pull in votes for factors overshadowing his actual singing abiliities. It's a shame her obvious talent was overlooked in favour of his camp TOWIE-reject routine.

I know but people have to buy the records!
I'm in no way condoning the fact that Rylan was saved over her, if it was my choice I would have binned them both!

Why vote for someone you don't like - even if they have nice voice (and she didn't BTW). At least Rylan has acted professionally and has worked hard and even if it is just to get into the public eye - so what - he's more watchable than she was with all her me, me, me self pity.

At the end of the day, it's comes down to people didn't connect with her. She came bottom of the votes. She was the viewing public's least favourite overall. Everyone finished above her, simple as. And tbh, it is partly a popularity contest but obviously people didn't like her. She had an awful song choice on Saturday at to some she is quite mediocre.

Great voice, boring personality, had her chance years ago when she was more attractive and we didn't let her win then, she had first 3 weeks exit written all over her form the start.

It's not Cardiff Singer of the World. People vote for those singers they enjoy seeing and hearing. Carolynne came rock bottom in terms of how many people enjoyed seeing and hearing her enough to vote.

I haven't the slightest interest in those other shows, thanks all the same. I like hearing people sing

Gte yourself on Twitter and tell me hes acting 'professionally'

Calling Garry Barlow all the names under the sun, saying hes a disgrace and he'll never forgive him

Garry Barlow has sold millions of albums, has worked and been respected in the industry for 2 decades why on earth would he care if a fame hungry attention whore would forgive him

Thats inherent though in the voting, and more likely with a small vote and self selecting, more committed, people voting for non singing reasons. It would be perfectly possible to be everyone who didn't vote's first choice and go home - or everyone who voted 's second or third choice that they didn't vote for. The only answer is to run a cleaner vote with cheap votes, and to get more people voting, or to have judges with more integrity to save the better singers, or to do away with the vote, and let the internet or studio audience rate each performance.

Well there you go then. You didn't vote, so you can't really complain.

The OP is so deluded in her fanism towards Carolynne. I like her but the reason the public didn't vote for her is because she delivered a below average performance of a terrible song that wasn't her, not because they thought she was safe.

I completely agree that being voted off first does not have to mean that the contestant has the weakest voice.

But this time the public got it right.

Rylan has delivered the worst performances we've heard, but has also delivered a couple of nice performances at JH.

The boybands are worse on average - but one of the seven can sing a bit.

Carolynne failed to deliver one single performance that I found enjoyable. The nasal tone, the poor diction, the pitch, the country twang all combined to make her sound very bad. Add in the transparent hunger for fame as the only notable feature of her personality and she deserved to go first.

Subjective. Personally, as someone who sings myself, I didn't think she was that great. She was naselly, missed notes and sang some unobtainable notes completely off key. I don't think shes bad but I think Melanie, Ella and Jade all beat her singing wise.

And by the way OP, the Rylan twitter your bitching about isnt even his, he has a twitter and its verified, and it has no tweets to Gary there apart from one from Saturday night saying that he respects him.
