A lot of voters might forget about her and a lot may think its unfair as well.

A sore throat and you have no voice but she doesn't need a voice as she talks.

Its only the flu so why would that effect your voice

Strangely enough her style would not have fitted with the Halloween theme

Flu can knock people out for more than a week, what's to say if she's legitimately ill this week that she's well enough to perform next week? She's a bore, good riddance to her. There was a lot of animosity when Diana Vickers was in a similar position during her year.

When Diana Vickers had a week out she ended up top of the voting the next week, but I think a lot of it was out of sympathy as she still wasn't 100%, and the situation was slightly different as Diana was more of a favourite to win at the time.
However I think it did hinder her in the long run as it meant she had a week off and a week when she wasn't as great, so I think she did lose a lot of voters, as well as a lot of confidence. I think this will hinder Lucy, if not next week then probably the week after. She's going to need her next few performances to be outstanding.

Next week is WEEK 5 !!!

We loves a shock exist

Probably. The female singers are all being picked off one after another and Jade has already booked her taxi for this week. I'm sticking a large sum of money on Ella going the week after.
