If there was such a vast conspiracy by the X Factor against Paul, as Paul supporters seem to be suggesting, why was it that he was selected for the live shows this year despite being rejected last year because he was boring?”

In your opinion

Are you telling me that Haenow isn't?

Nope, Haenow is pretty boring too in my opinion (albeit he has a more interesting voice than Paul did).

Really ...most of them are pretty boring...Ben is boring, so is Andrea,Lauren, Stereo Kicks, Jay, Paul, Lola,Jack, Jake...I don't know who I'm missing, but Stevi and Fleur...even though they are not favorites of mine...my favorites are on the boring list...

Chloe, Stevi, Fleur and Blonde Electra were the only non-boring ones this season.

Jay James is the most boring contestant ever.

He wasn't treated badly he didn't have dancers in the background distracting from his performance they got rid of hum easily.

That may be so, but it was still only a 2% drop. A lot of others have had a bigger drop with less people in too.

Biggest ones:

Scott XF5: 19.48%, 4.17%, 3.67%
Mary XF7 getting 22.28% with 16 acts left, but getting 11.29% with 7 left.
Aiden XF7: 9.78%, 8.82%, 6.58%, 6.70%, 5.85%, 5.01%
Janet XF8- Getting 23.6% with 14 left, but getting 14.8% with 6 left.
Christopher XF9- Getting 28.8% with 13 left, but getting 16.8% in the final 3.

I think paul has the best voice of all. Simon tried his hardest to make the public dislike him with the whole 'not enjoying it' comment. The judges are very much in control of who wins.

Or you know...maybe he actually wasn't enjoying it? I know I wasn't either.

He was my favourite because i loved his voice and i didnt find him boring.what i saw was the erosion of someones confidence and comfort zone because of appallingly bad song choices and scathing comments.the public are still influenced by this.my daughter was a huge fan but by week five said she had gone off him because of his attitude and demeanour ,cowell knows what he is doing.
