Why do the boys have a say then? Why doesn't Emily?
It doesn't make Emily look good when week in and week out she hints at doing uptempo numbers and says she wants to do them and then her VT this week is a meeting with her and Simon and the part from last week is showing with her agreeing with Louis and the others that she wants to do uptempo. Then it cuts to her saying while she wants to do uptempo this week she wants to do another ballad? Are we meant to believe shes lying when she said that and the producers are telling her what to say?
Emily can do uptempo, we seen that two years ago but it wasn't the strongest vocal. I do believe she slows down every song she sings because they are too big for her voice at the correct tempo. So far the formula is working so she probably won't rock the boat anytime soon. Theres as much chance as Emily doing a uptempo number as there is Honey G coming out in a full length ball gown and singing a Whitney number.”

The whole thing reminds me of Abi Alton from 2013. There's an article about her X Factor journey I once read and found it extraordinary how the producers can manipulate each contestant however they want. How they can effortlessly built them up, then send them crashing down through the power of editing.
I suspect the producers have decided this is the week they want Emily out, and have thrown her under the bus. It happens every year.
This is also why I refuse to watch X Factor live. It's quicker and miles better to just watch the performances on YouTube and make up my own mind. The judges comments are more false then grandad's teeth.
