She needs to stand up for who she is before they ruin her completely by turning her into something that she isn't”

agreed , I even used the word "twee" for I think the first time ever to describe what they have turned her into during the lives

2 "Terrible look, style and stage presence" - why is he highlighting the importance - oh yes now Fleur has all of this but no voice.

3 Lauren boring - what was boring (repetitive) was Lauren being given a "balnd" song, staging from the same judge who gave it to Diana Vickers just a few years ago. It is no accident that Lauren is being shown as having parallels with DV at this stage. Remember how she went? Lauren down at the bookies now. Are we surprised?

Reading your post and others - sadly his unfair manipulation worked.”

These are my opinions and words not Simon's.

Andrea is an odd fit for an X Factor winner in that he has nothing to offer apart from an outstanding voice.

Lauren's song choice and performance was boring .....she can sing OTY off the stage but how about a bit of fun and movement instead of ballad singing by numbers with no originality.

My views which on this occasion agree with Simon.......really doesn't happen often.

I think they were trying to give her that edgy vibe with Dark Horse and the attitude dancing, but she ended up crying in rehearsals and felt the pressure too much. From that point, they've stuck to what's most comfortable for her and it ends up looking boring. Hopefully she'll liven it up again now, seeing as she herself thought it was a bit lifeless this week.

Absoutely. But then again, being 'mentored' by CherylCole was a kiss of death

And all these years I thought it was a singing competition

Tbh I think even Lauren can see she needs to be a bit more different and she might give dancing or something like that a bit of a go next week.

Just give her that chance and vote for her.

I don't think its too late to win votes but it'll be very hard as people more than likely have their favourites

I'm hoping she'll be given songs to really help her up her game because I'd love to see her go all the way but at the same time, maybe a shock exit around Week 8 won't be such a bad thing for her career wise, it didn't hurt Ella.

Still, I'm rooting for her or OTY to win.

I think as long as she makes it into the top5/6 she will get a single or an album.

She just needs that extra something to prove it
