I'm going to see the Tour in Birmingham. Last night I said I hoped he was the one voted off as he's the least interesting. Either him or one of the other 2 generic, dull male vocalists. Three of them would have been too many.
This was not a shock exit. It's the one I hoped for. It's the one that was predicted by the guests on Xtra Factor. I was baffled by the "this is a shock" element that came with this.”
Except no-one was claiming it as a shock apart from Simon who, very badly, acted out a whole 'whoa, that was a shock tonight' routine on the Xtra Factor.
What people are pissed off at is that it was
entirely predictable due to the very blatant shiny knives unsheathed over the last two weeks. There were posts and threads all over this forum predicting this very outcome, right down to the bottom two and how the judges would vote in the singoff. People just want a level playing field, that's all, a platform that gives each contestant an equal chance to shine and not a show that just unravels to Simon's predetermined outcome.
