Disappointing result last night. What I can't understand is why Lauren was bottom 2 when she's currently #14 on iTunes. Strange that downloads don't seem to match votes at all.

But I thought she had her best performances over the weekend. I think she's really growing, and just hope she turns it around in the votes next week.

I get the feeling the votes are actually closer that we think, do you think if Lauren delivers two knockout performances on Saturday she could get near to the top of the votes

Then again saying that, why did they sacrifice 4th Impact?

So sad that Lauren didn't make the final, fingers crossed someone will sign her

Yeah, disappointing to see her go out and hopefully we'll hear more from her. She's a great singer (when well!) and a lively and interesting character. One good thing about going out at this stage is that you actually don't miss any weeks as they bring them all back for the finale. And they haven't given her a goodbye on the Xtra Factor yet so hopefully they'll have her on that too this week. And don't they sometimes have all the contestants singing on the final weekend? I know they sometimes have the weak contestants but I prefer it when the finalists are doing a group song. Hopefully they'll have it this year anyway so she may yet have to sing next weekend too! Chin up, Lauren, you would have been outta there next weekend anyway! And you probably get more post-exit screen time and media coverage going out than if you finished 2nd or 3rd as the emphasis next weekend will be on the winner.
