Try blaming the voting system as well as Louis
I have not been a particular fan of the X factor, but have got into it over the last three weeks as my wife and daughter are so keen on it.
What is obvious to me is that the public voting system that they use will always tend to produce unfair results that don't correspond with public opinion. At the stage of the competition where the objective is to get rid of the worst contestants, it is totally illogical to do this by asking the public to vote for who they want to win. Maria was clearly not the top choice of very many people or she would not have finished in the bottom two, but if all voters were asked to rank all of the contestants from 1 to 9 she, almost certainly, would have finished in the top 4 or 5. The bottom 4 or 5 would probably have included Chico, The Conway Sisters, Nicholas and possibly Journey South. As this is not practical they should ask the public to vote for who they want to leave. That would produce a much fairer result until the final, when they could ask the voters to vote for their favourite act as the winner. It strikes me that the producers of the show will know this, as they are not stupid people, but they are quite happy to see this sort of unfair result occur as it brings massive publicity to the show. My personal opinion is that Brenda was absolutely terrific tonight, but I can see her getting eliminated in exactly the same way as Maria, if she is up against the Conway Sisters in a future program. Though Louis would possibly not have the bottle to make such an absurd decision again. |
