I think Matt will be a great success whether he wins or not. I would buy his music, can't say the same about the others although I am sure 5AM will do well with the younger generation. Sorry they've gone, loved their energy.

I loved how she backtracked and quickly added in Scotland and Wales and Ireland. I think it was quite a sneaky and underhand move. The English Vote!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And, not to nitpick, but is it really such a bad thing to say, especially when other judges have routinely said things like, "I want Scotland to vote for Emily", "Everyone in Liverpool should vote for...." etc? |

At least she actually acknowledged Scotland, Wales etc, unlike most Americans who refer to the whole UK as "England"

Appealing to a regional vote makes some sense, but Nicole was appealing for the entire country to "support their own". Support them against who Nicole and why? The English 5am? I'm guessing not. She even added Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland so she could repeat it a second time.

Poor form imo.

You only feel that way because you want Saara to win. I admit it's a tactic but I don't see anything wrong with it. It's not racist to play on patriotism, and it's not racist for people to vote for Matt because he's English.
There's a huge difference between saying vote for Matt because he's English versus don't vote for Saara because she's foreign. |

Sorry, I should have made it more clear. I was being sarcastic. Of course she's not racist. She's a mixed race American woman who actually seems completely lovely. I'm with you on this. Calling her racist is an absurd reaction.

So mixed race American women can't be racist now?
![]() When BLM chant "Kill all white people", that's not racist, because they're black. Logic! |

Do you not keep up with the PC trends? Of course any mixed race can't be racist. Just like women can't be sexist, etc.

It doesn't really matter anyway. Saara apparently said in an interview before the show had finished that she would prefer second place because it would give her freedom to choose the best deal. So I suppose coming second is the position she wanted.
