How in gods name have these puddings got so far?
Singing-feeble,whiney and bland at best, hardly any harmonies
Personality- pale yellow wallpaper, zzzzzzzzz
Looks- pan-faced bumpkins

They can't even move in time to their own singing, and look like they have never been on stage in their lives. How have they supported Westlife????
Why are they in this competition?
Why do they make me so angry?

They have a record deal?. Who is in charge of these record companies, Laurel and Hardy?

To be honest, I actually quite like them. They seem so happy and bubbly, and they make me smile. I thought they did great on Saturday. I wasn't a fan before, but I have warmed to them.

Although, I do think Simon should have put Eskimo Blonde through instead of them.

And, The Brothers should have got through instead of Addictiv Ladies/4Tune.

Eskimo Blonde could have won the competition. The Conway Sisters are whiney, high-pitched and can't sing. I think Simon picked his acts at random.

I think if Eskimo Blonde and The Brothers had got through, there is a chance that Simon would still have at least three of his acts left. He made such a huge mistake putting Addictive Ladies through. It was obvious even before the live shows that they would go first.

Eskimo Blonde just seemed to have it all. They were pretty good singers, they had a good image and personalities.

I really think Simon made the poorest decisions. The only decent act he put through were Journey South.

exactly, image and personality do count. And from what ive seen of conways they lack both.
Simons only hope of winning is journey south. (and even they may struggle)

I think it's unfair to criticise their looks, it's not something they can help.

They are in this competition because they have every right to be just like all the others who are in now.

I don't like or dislike them but they have improved their singing every week, so I'll give them credit where it's due

i think given the the acts on offer he actually had no choices. .......Basically if they could stay in tune for 40% of a song you was in.
I dont think the conways have much further to go in this comp maybe three weeks a t the very best

Journey South are good, but I don't like their personalities. I get the impression that they couldn't give a hoot. If they were up against Maria, Brenda, Shane, Nicholas or Andy, I think they would lose. They're better than Chico, The Conways and Chenai though. I give them 4 weeks.

I wonder if Simon knows their names. I don't.

I get the opposite impression about Journey South.
I get the feeling that they take it very seriously and possibly spend more time than anybody else to make sure that they get every single little thing right.
I imagine them to be serious music geeks who work their bollocks off in their free time while some other acts are having fun.

I might be wrong, but it's just a sense I got before I even read your post.

I thought they were very poor on the last show.
Yet the judges were far more complimentary to them than they were to other acts who I thought did better but got lukewarm praise such as Chenai.

I think it was the lead singer from the Conway Singers who was poor, her main backing singer sounded much better, and had a nicer sounding voice. I thought that backing singer should have been the lead singer.

The lead singer seems a bit up herself and the blonde one doesn't look like her at all. And the other two look like the other 2 nolans that didn't do much after the 70's.

agreed. Miss shouty is annoying, i dunno why louis is always praising her. The larger girl was a much better singer.
I als agree that certain other acts were better and yet didnt get as much praise
I suppose the fact they are irish and have been managed by louis before means he will never slate them

I agree. You know, I said that on the X Factor Live Show thread and someone posted saying "shes the best so keep your mouth shut k". I told her we are entitled to our opinions on these boards and to stop being so rude!

That's it then. In a few years time, one will be in The Bill and another one married to Shane Richie.

Just in the interests of fairness (I don't like them especially either) it was *also* stated on another post that it wasn't really a record deal - they paid to produce the album themselves, or something.
