Laura White should have won the X Factor this year, she has star quality, an amazing voice and a fantastic look.

But her performance on Saturday was of a young girl showing off, she can play the piano well, but it did not enhance her performance and just came across as 'look what I can do'

A pointless exit, has she sang straight she would still be there

Of course it was a look what I can do moment.

It showed she wasn't just in the show for fame, she wasn't just lucky to have a good voice and was exploiting it.
It showed she had spent years training to play piano because she clearly loved music and also had the voice to match her love of music.

Had she been a junkie a few years ago and an absolute cow to everyone who tried to help her then perhaps she would have still been there.

To be fair, the piano thing was a daft idea by Cheryl. Laura didn't need it and the arrangement simply compliment her performance, which was weak anyway. I think Cheryl is largly to blame for Laura's exit. I also thought the dress looked hidious on her, but thats down the stylist not Cheryl.

I dont think she deserved to go as she wasn't the weakest of the night and it was a real shame she was in the bottom given her potential and voice. However out of Ruth and Laura, the right person went without a shadow of doubt. When it came to crunch time Ruth pulled it out the bag and Laura simply didn't.

She was weak on Saturday and she was weak in the sing-off. It's a shame because it was only one poor week. But between her and Ruth, Ruth nailed it!

The public didn't vote for her, which resulted in Laura being in the bottom two acts.

Singing for survival, Laura was out sang by Ruth.

Laura White deserved to exit the X Factor. GET OVER IT!

Who will actually care about Laura in a years time anyway? People only like their favourites whilst the show is on air.

That's certainly a different way of looking at it.

And as for Ruth being better in the sing off... yes but ...
Austin was far better that Rachel in the sing off the week before but Louis admitted that and voted for Rachel because she had more "left to give" or somesuch nonsense
So the sing off is completely useless and makes no difference to the judges at all... At least not to Louis.

I think she is good, but was over hyped, I think that was what cost her, people thought she was safe.

Her first song wasn't her best performance and she made a really bad choice for the sing off, Ruth was better by a mile.

I'm sure she will get a record deal, but she has said Louis voted tacticly which is an insult to Ruth, and she seems to forget Simon also chose Ruth over her and rightly so.

She didn't have a god given right to win the show and she needs to just stop whinning and move on. Sour grapes is not very attractive.

Well I was shocked that both the girls were in the sing off on Saturday night. Neither deserved to be. I agree Ruth gave a brilliant performance. Haven't liked the two songs much that laura sang this week and the week before but all the songs she performed before that she were superb. You juct have to go over to youtube to hear her.

True but Laura had a bad we, voters don't appear to like Ruth
