they're vocal performance isn't good, some of their outfits have been slutty, they don't look good as a band, there's a tall girl that looks out of place, they're sob story is just laughable... I can go on but I'll go and do something less painful like stick my **** in the cooker.

I can't say I am wild about them but I don't think they are as bad as some people on these forums seem to think.
A number of people on here suggest that they don't appeal to a female audience. However, it was interesting this weekend because my young daughter had some friends for a sleepover. Naturally they watched X Factor and I told them they could have a vote each. At least one was a definite Hope fan and announced her voting intentions before they had even performed! So maybe they appeal to the younger girls? |

You could be right, young girls with little to no musical taste whatsoever.

I agree with you. I don't hate them, I just don't like them much and refuse to have to like them because I'm female. The lap dancing around Simon during Hanky Panky was just cringeworthy, I expected him to put a tenner down Raquelle's top. Bleurgh.

![]() On the slutty comment - were slutty for the 1st two weeks. So what? It wasn't even their decision. Of course they agreed that that was the outfit they could wear on the night but the stylist people actually put the outfits forward to them on a plate! 1st 2 weeks slutty - we are on our 6th week so 2/3 of the time they havent been slutty at all. In fact they looked extremly classy singing Back to Black, and stunning i might add. On the sob story comment - O please! You have to be joking. If their sob story was the most dramatic one in the competition you would be at their throats too!! It is the simple fact that some people (a minority) are jealous. Another reason why people like you don't like them, i simply don't know but in the back of your mind i think you do think that most of them are good singers. I'll go with jealousy!!

Hope, great novelty act. I don't know how long they will be allowed to keep strangling cats onstage though.

I'm sort of a Hope fan but realistically:
1. They ain't going to win but Simon will try to keep them in as long as possible for the gossip value. 2. After XF they will soon break up and be bitchy with it. 3. Simon will try to get something else for Phoebe to front. 4. Is Racquelle still with that Daniel bloke? If not some celeb stalking looks on the cards. 5. The other 3 will soon be a distant memory. So enjoy it while it lasts. |

I honestly think the judges especially Sharon whose group she would have been in, ie category, are kicking themselves for not spotting Pheobe as she is the only one in there with a half decent voice. It is her and her backing singers, bit like Diana Ross and the Supremes!

I don't think it was a mistake. I believe Phoebe was rejected as a solo singer specifically because they needed at least one half-decent voice for the hand-knitted girl group. Likewise the couple of guys in Futureproof who could sing.

You may be right Lulu as I was shocked two were rejected of the lads, and I hope they do well as they seem nice guys had nice harmonies and were given crapp songs.. story seems to be on repeat this year, change the songs, give naff songs, and get them OUT.
Sadly I cannot see Hope lasting, I HOPE not, and when out I think the tabloids will have a field day of stories on who hates who and why. |

I love hope. I think people should give them a break for once. I know they use backing singers most of the time but all artists use them nowadays.
Their best performances have been umbrella, hanky panky and back to black. |

Time to reply i think, with an educated answer!
All the girls in hope are good singers, they only put Phoebe at the front because shes the fittest, especially gorgeous in last weeks outfit. Leah isnt actually that tall, she just wears high heels as she finds them extremely comfortable. They are popular with otha females as ALL the women i know like them. Infact both my Mom and Gran are voting for them to win. Raqcuelle is an integral part of the group as not only does she choose the amazing/conservative outfits (they could be a LOT more risque), but who else is going to pull that face with such aplomb/dignity when straddling a male dancer/pawing at Simon? |

I dont think there is a need for this thread anymore, as I have seemingly managed to promote a new positive opinion of Hope.
