Does anyone else think that they should change the phone voting on the x factor so that we vote for the person we like the least?

I think more people who vote because its easier to pick out the worst singer than it is to pick your favourite.

That's an interesting idea.. but i think its a bit too personal for a show like x factor.. its alright for big brother because the contestants are meant to be hated hahaha and it's more of 'that' kind of show if you get me.. but i don't think it would be right for x factor. Plus it would probably backfire as, if i was given the chance to vote for someone to leave, i would definately vote off someone like diana as i feel she is a threat to my favourite. So the better act may go if you get what im saying..

people will vote less. I know people who make multiple votes for multiple acts at the moment. I doubt they'd vote repeatedly for one act to go.

No.

That way, people may vote off threats, and someone really good could go in the early stages (well, that's already happened this year, twice, but still). It's also too personal; this isn't Big Brother.

Vote the person we like least? You must be joking. Diana is by far the most talented constestant this year but will no doubt be out in the first week due to bitchy women and people who don't like the fact she is going to win.

It's a silly idea. This was the idea in the first series of Pop Idol, right up until the week before the first live show. They decided to change it because this way you would end up with the least unpopular rather than the most popular winning. How is that supposed to be a good pointer to sales?

Most of her fans are female.

She's not exactly the threatening type. Ruth is far more so.

Actually, I would like to SEE the votes, you know, up there on a big screen ! for ALL to see, and then the judges can decide on the basis of the sing off...

That'd be quite interesting. The show would make more money because people would vote competitively.
The problem would be if the votes were in the same order week after week, or someone topped them consistently.

I don't think it is the voting that needs to be changed but the fact that the judges actually mentor a category. I think they should just all help all the contestants then there would be no competetivness and tactile voting between the judges in the sing off.

People would then vote out the best people as they are threats.

its just a shame to see that good acts are voted off instead of bad ones but i guess people will vote for their favourite regardless of their ability to sing or which voting system is used.

So are the women who like Diana not bitchy?
Way to place a mass stereo type half the population and probably the biggest proportion of voters.
Its comments like this that turn people off Diana and lose her votes, and yes I have voted for Diana in the past not sure I will in the future though because I find your comment offensive and pathetic to be honest.

They wont do it as its will mean less money for simon to suck out of the public.

As people dont really hate the acts just dislike and their then dont see why the feel they need to give their money away for something they couldnt care about. imo

That would possibly be the most stupid idea ever. We want to find the most popular, not the least most hated.
