Louis: 'The sympathy vote got to me'
It's easy for Louis to answer questions relating to how he voted for someone for the way they sang and then after to regret it, but where does that leave Scott?
I think if Scott wants out of a contract then I think it should be honoured. |

They asked Louis if Daniel was going to win and he said 'no', but that doesn't mean he thought Scott had a chance of winning either. They were both pants and whoever didn't go last week will go this week. Louis made the right choice.

How awful for Scott to have had been told on his first performance that the wrong song choice was given...and by his mentor. That must have rocked his confidence to begin with. Scotts voice and his looks were good enough for the show. He should not have been voted off, and should have been treated better I reckon.

Simon gave Scott a bad song on purpose so the judges would slate him, he would get upset, the audience would feel for him and he would get through on the sympathy vote. The standard this year is incredibly high and Scott with a 'good' performance on the first week would have given him a place in the bottom 2. Simon made him memorable by giving him such a bad song and routine which got him through and shocked everyone.
Personally, I think it's in Scotts best interest to move on and do what he does best! |

I don't think Scott coped very well with being voted off. Daniel would have handled it far better. I personally found Scott behaved like a petulant kid. There's no way he could have won it anyway!
(Mind you, I said that about Leon.....oops!) |

Scott really hasn't shown the public or prospective employers that has the right temperament to cope with the fickle nature of the entertainment business at the moment.

I really liked Scott during the audition process but once it got to the live shows, the bar was raised, the standard was too high and Scott (and Daniel for that matter) aren't/weren't living up to expectations. I agree that in week one, Scott got through on sympathy. I can understand his behaviour - he was so distraught that he just shut down - but it did look very childish on screen, even when you can empathise with him. I think the right choice was made on Saturday because while I don't think Daniel will win, in their Song for Survival performances, he did really well and there was so much more passion there than in Scott's performance. It was like Scott had already lost by that point.

Leon still comes over as incredibly nervous and doesn't seem to be comfortable or at ease with his success.

The last song meant as much to Louis as it did to Daniel - that's why he voted to keep him.

Aside from Daniel, who is probably appealing to the older viewer, Scott was not better than the remaining contestants, so IMO, is time was up last week.
It's always a shame to get so near, yet be so far from the winners post, but it would have been a far greater injustice if any of the others went out of the show ahead of Scott last week. |

I actually think Scott should have been out in week one. Bad Lashes were a much better act. And Girlband were better than Daniel.

Scott was pants overall IMO and Daniel got through as he gave a much more emotional, better performance in the sing off. That's Life was OK but Scott sounded really weedy singing it.

Scott is best to stay in the contract if he tries to get out of it and succeeds he'll never get a record deal

Hah, cool. There's a good chance he'll read these messages then.
In which case, I'll say: Louis, get rid of him ASAP. He shouldn't even be a finalist (Suzie was far more worthy and marketable), let alone be this far into the live finals. If Daniel's grief is really so great that he can't stop talking about his dead wife, he has no place being on a television talent show, he should be in counselling. Shut up with the sob stories and SING! P.S. Get JLS singing Blackstreet or Jodeci. We don't need another typical boy band, but there aren't a lot of groups doing the R&B sound in the UK right now. |

It's funny really, I saw this kid backstage on finals night and did not feel as comfortable near him as the others. Rhydian was an absolute diamond, Same Difference were nice people, what you saw on stage was exactly what they were like back stage.
Just because he's shy, it doesn't mean that he is not a nice person. And yes, I've met him. As for this topic. I believe that Scott was screwed over with the wrong songs. He looked completely ill at ease, particularly on week one. Even so, he was way better than Daniel, imo. |

You obviously have never met Leon properly. He's a lovely lad and really cares about his fans. He posts blogs and video blogs more or less daily, plus posts comments on people's profiles regularly. How many other artists do?
