it's about being a singer or a successful recording artist.

This.

Hate sob stories. They are not relevant and in poor taste.

Union J haven't given a sob tale yet.

Yes but don't they have villains, heroes and novelty acts every year. If it was about being a singer or recording artist and nothing else then none of the current acts should be at this stage of the competition

During one show, some members of Union J talked about having brothers who were in the army. They weren't exactly saying "it makes me so sad when he's away. and I'm doing this for him I just want to make him proud" etc but there was some attempt to tug at the heartstrings of mums and patriots. We can let them off though regardless because that was only mentioned on one occasion.

Their overreaction to being in the bottom-two the first time was kind of a sob story.

You'd think with 4 of them they could come up with at least one half decent sob story. Shame on them, don't they know what this show is all about. 😉

They pulled the old " we've got an announcement. One of us is gay!!@!!" shocker. The one with the hair that looks like a wig pulled the short straw there.

I sorta disagree... that is what The Voice is for. X Factor and drama = go hand in hand... however, the dirty tactics to obviously get Jahmene votes is appalling and offensive to his family. If it was about who was the best singer, then really, Chris is the clear winner and Jahmene should have been out week 2, after Rylan.

The constant reminder of his sob stories is really putting me off Jahmene. He seems such a sweet guy and quite cheery when he is interviewed. Jahmene's first song was good but then he went and butchered "At Last" to pieces.
Chris is my winner and I shall be buying his album. His first performance last night stole the show in my opinion He mentions his Nan a lot but at least it is with a bit of humour.
The Union J lads were really good in both their songs and for the first time they looked like an even group during song one. I enjoyed both their performances.
As for James I didn't like his first performance. His second song was really good but he was singing along with a lot of help from the effects of a backing track.

Jamie "came out" as gay though, and band members were making out like it was such a very brave thing to do. As if it's actually an issue these days! I bet he was "out" all along, but they just wanted to make sure the voters know that one of them is gay - for the votes that will bring.

Poor boys, they will never emulate the success of One Direction, even with the gay one.

Of which Chris has neither hope of being.
