I am just saying he should of respected the decision of his fellow judges and they voted to keep Seann.
If it is always going to go to deadlock in this situation why have a sing off - why not send the 2nd bottom home with the bottom, and put the 3rd bottom through automatically. The whole point of a sing off is to give the 2nd and 3rd bottom another chance to impress the other judges, and that did not happen tonight. (whoever is in the sing off is always going to have their own mentors back anyway, or should have). As the person who got 2 votes was sent home and the person with one vote stayed. You can't count Nicks vote in that instance, as he could not vote fairly.”

He was in a very awkward position though no matter how you look at it. How fair it was for him to vote when it was 2:1 in favour of Seann is irrelevant, the fact is that they asked him anyway because that's the format of the show. If at that point he'd said he abstained, it would have been the exact same thing as sending Mason home, which he made clear he didn't want to do to either of his acts. The most objectively neutral thing he could do in that situation was send it to deadlock, so he did.
Its only the top 8. Sometimes number 9 gets in if there is a controversial decision, but there are already 9 left.
Sean's elimination was a disgrace but the public need to take the most blame for not voting him through and Rita should not have saved Mason.
