LOL. I'm just making the point that you don't know why people click on something, sometimes because it's so good and sometimes because it's so terrible. Or just to be informed. Anyway, I think Sam B is topping the hits.

In all fairness, Abi's performance has been by FAR the most talked about, both by people who loved it and by people who hated it - surely the most talked about performance will be one of the most YouTube'd performances - not necessarily an indication of quality.

Not that I think she's going, mind...

Don't just look at the views, because people watch when they hear bad things about it. Look at the like-dislike bar too. Eg. Sam C got more dislikes than likes on Youtube, that very rarely happens.

It was awful and looking at the comments on facebook last night most people thought the same.

Sam B, Nicholas, Abi, Sam C, Tamera and Luke will be safe (a shame about Abi and Sam C). It's between Hannah, Kingsland Road and Rough Copy I reckon. I doubt Hannah will be in the bottom two again. So, I think it'll be Kingsland Road vs Rough Copy, which means Kingsland Road will go

That sounds extremely possible.

Abi's version of I Will Survive is actually really good I love it. Even if she is still behind the piano this version is very good. The only song I've liked so far that she's sang since the early stages.

BIB 1) Given that his explanation was in fact identical in meaning to his initial post, I think not...
BIB 2) No she isn't.

Have you noticed how comments are allowed on some of the performances on youtube this week? Strange.

Oh...and that they've described Relight My Fire as a Gary Barlow penned Take That track! Flipping heck, no one related to this show knows what they're talking about

Didn't Christopher Maloney top the votes last year? Topping the votes does just that the voting demographic has chosen to pick up the phone for them. And of course on this show there is always a contingent that deliberately tries to get a joke/naff act to win as they see it as a snub to Cowell. I don't mind so much when that happens to someone like Christopher Maloney - he's old enough to take it. But Abi is young and she should be allowed to leave quietly in the next couple of weeks so she doesn't have to see so much negative stuff about her. It can't be a good experience for a very young girl. It's not her fault she has turned out to be unsuited to the lives.

No. And no to brilliant song.

As has been seen before links such as You Tube Twitter and Facebook do not correlate towards votes. Look at Maloney last year - how many votes did he win and where was he on views????

Now please stop acting like a five year old on a sugar high

But due to the disabled commenting, it's kind of hard to tell if it's because she's good or because they're watching it to laugh....

Comments aren't disabled on her performance this week...weird, right. The comments are 50/50...though one young lady makes up the majority of the positive by calling everyone who slates Abi a retard amongst other things

There have been plenty of years where there have been acts who had huge numbers of Youtube views which didn't translate into votes.

Diana Vickers comes to mind.
