Why would they do that?

MK1 are on tour apparently, why they weren't there. They don't wait around do they.

What? We're they going to perform it? Ooh that would have been brilliant, specially the "uncensored" version!

I don't think a full song just in that group thing.

Lucy tweeted ''For those not in the loop; me and James singing Fairytale of New York was pulled last minute from the medley. They smashed it though! ''

Would have been nice but probably would have been seen as being unfair on Jahmene if James, a fellow finalist, was receiving more prominence by performing his own little duet with Lucy.

Oh no I'm gutted they cut it. It's my favourite Christmas song and I think James could have sang it very well.

I'm glad they did as I wouldn't want anyone on X Factor ruining it

Why on Earth should Lucy Spraggen have got any special treatment when she walked? Plus she has said Christmas music wasn't "her thing", man.

She 'walked'? Is that what we're calling it now. A lot of us on here know what really happened but its taboo to mention it. All I can say is the girl has so much courage performing again with a smile on her face

well she did walk, but probably because she was traumatised. I didn't like her at all but she's brave enough to even be there so my respect goes to her.

Because James would have ruined it as he did Power of Love

Airing something she sang in a group performance is special treatment? What?

MK1 were there last night, I was surprised as I didn't remember seeing them the night before. There was a very clear shot of the three of them on stage last night during the group song.

Meanwhile, contestant Lucy Spraggan, who pulled out of the show in November because of ill health, said she did not perform a Christmas medley with other acts because she "didn't think it was my style".

Perhaps Shane MacGowan stirred from drunkeness and objected to his song being butchered

Why didn't they then have Melanie or Carolynne or even Jade sing her bit.

Either that or he was put off by James' teeth.

She didn't do anything. A story came out about something that happened around the time Lucy left the show, and people connected that to her departure. No solid proof either way.
