Sorry to disappoint, but their backing track had MORE violins on it, and at one point a FULL orchestra going on.....hardly just the founr of them

Thanks for the reminder, I knew there was another group that did this. Not then 'original' as Simon said, but still should be the winners.

Good name for a group is Escala - no doubt they'll escala-late after their performance tonight.

It would a be unfair imo”

Bugger, they were my choice to win, but I think someone else should get it if that's true.

I know the working as a backing band for McFly is definatley true, I don't know whether the playing the X Factor wrap party is, but I can imagine it is.

Like I said, they're talented, but I'd prefer to see Nemesis and maybe someone like Craig get through

My guess

Through - Scala
Judges Choose Between - Nemeis and Anya/Madonna.

Bandola

:Between the 4 girls and those bodiless violins, there were a lot of holes up on that stage.

I know! Me are just being manipulated so that Mr Cowell can get Esarla to win and sign them up!

Escala to win! Don't want another singer to win, especially another classical like Andrew or Faryl. Escala would be amazing winners.

For the comments that appeared on this thread and the fact I was crying with laughter in some parts then: "Madonna and Anya to win".

It would great if they won; a true variety act.

But, as someone said on a different thread the dog can't sell CDs.

Exactly - they were being carried by the backing track!! obviously Simon is desperate for them to get through

especially as he's put them up against the worst acts of the week!"!

At last a voice of reason.

Take away the full orchestra backing track and it would sound like the Brooke Bond theme.
