As much as I would like to see Paul reinstated, I agree, as it would set a precedent for any other "wronged" act in the future, and this is certain to happen again and again and again. I think the title X factor is their "get out clause". When people say this is supposed to be a singing competition, then they can argue that they're looking for something more and that singing is only a small part of it.
What I do hate though is the blatant manipulation of the audience, but again without it and all the other controversy such as crap acts being kept in over true talent and would people watch and talk about it so much if it was just a heap of excellent singers belting out great tunes every week?
It's a game of two halves really - The show - it's got to be entertaining otherwise nobody would watch it and then the outcome. Stevi for instance may be keeping us "entertained" and giving us stuff to talk about, would people buy his albums?...shouldn't think so. That's why the one's Simon wants to win are steered into their correct positions in the closing shows and final.
Good luck Paul though think you'll succeed anyway! x
