Couldn't disagree more. Seann has way more identity.....Mason has nothing novel, nothing interesting in his voice or delivery and most of all a mediocre voice. He's got this far purely through his own hype.

Did you think Anton was a better singer than seann?”

Seann and Anton were my top 2, both have great voices, I would have given Seann a couple of votes and Anton the same.

I vote for who I think is the best singer who I want to advance in the show. What is the point of messing about voting for who you think "needs" the vote because you think someone who is a better singer is safe.

X Factor voters always go for "nice boys singing nicely". The safe boy next door/everyman.

They even prefer female singers to acts like Mason and Seann.

Both Cheryl and Simon saved Sean as he was the better singer, blame Rita and even more so their mentor who should have saved Sean because he knows that Mason is not overly liked.

I also think people didn't vote for Sean because they put their votes Antons and Max's way because they thought they were in danger and that the judges would save Sean anyway over the others in danger. Shame on Nick for not saving his better singer!

I still can't quite believe this has happened... though to be honest, I think California Dreamin' was a bad song choice.

Absolutely spot on.

I don't agree ucra, I think their mentor Nick is to blame. Sean was his better singer and performer of the two, he has only himself to blame as I think mason will be in the bottom two again fairly soon whereas I think people would have been shocked about Sean and he would have got the bounce back next week. I'm convinced that the public thought the judges would save Sean against most of the others except Louisa and Che! What was Rita and Nick thinking?

They see him as male fleur/chris brown type - its all about the marketing and Simon has a gap for a male act like that. He will at least be on the tour.

Good point. I wish we had seen Sean be a bit less safe like Adam was - sometimes he felt a bit too Diva like where I felt he would ahve shone if he ad rocked it up a little more - oh well wont get to see it now ”

I think that is what it is.Mason is an artist with a gap in the market just like Fluer was.Sean is a good singer!

I'm sure Anton will be delighted you voted for him because you thought they tried to humiliate him.

Realistically Darcy.Deadlock was the best position Rita had to put Nick in.Using my heart I would save Sean but with my head I would save Mason.Simon could have done it but he cant risk the backclash.

Dan Wooton has just said the same on Extra Factor.Mason is the artist here similar to Chris Brown.Chris Brown is no angel but is a great artist.

The thing is both Monica and Anton are better singers within their own genres too....im sure they wouldn't have got through to the finals if they weren't? ????? I voted because of this and despite the hatchet job both 'mentors' inflicted upon them. ...the majority of the GBP knew better and wants to se more of why they are in the live shows itfp!!!
Like its been said...no ones safe...not even louisa and Che....so votes counts!!!

You quoted my response to nosaer's comment that he voted for Anton "because they tried to humiliate him". What is the point in that? Monica and Anton's singing ability is neither here nor there.

I'll openly admit Seann isn't my sort of thing as a singer but I thought he was there for the long haul. I thought last night was his best so far as it was less theatrical and he didn't turn it into a show tune
Though at least he did a better version of a song I love in the sing off than Aliens massacre last week

It was the publics decision voting Seann lower then Mason..
Rita always liked both Mason and Seann tbh so she could've gone either way really.
I'm still suprised Seann got low votes his performance was good I guess maybe it wasn't as good as others but he was still great the song wasn't as familiar.
Seann is a male lady gaga he comes across that way.

You misunderstand me. I said I gave ALL my votes to Anton because Simon tried to throw him under a bus. I didnt vote for him JUST because of that, I think he has the best voice along with Seann. All things being equal Anton would have received half my votes and Sean the other half. I am sure he would be happy I voted for him

That's so not true! I reckon he shaves his legs more than I do, and boy, can he sing. Like an angel.

My bad. How scunnered are you? I don't think I will be watching it again.

He's just way too cabaret for a show looking for a pop star . If he got to the final they would've have to wheel Liza Minnelli out for the duet with him
