Can't believe Robert has gone! It was horrible that he was against Eton Rd, but i'd rather they stay than Robert. Ray was a bit awful tonight, have no idea how he wasnt in the bottom 2. But have to say the best performance tonight was...
LEONA! :cheer: she was fab!!!! loved her!
im just shocked that ray didnt sing swing he sung american latino instead
Well everyone was complaining that all he did was swing!
yeah everyother week he does swing but tonight he didnt, frank sinatra is swing, ricky martin is not its american latinoQuote:

I'm shocked Simon didn't get rid of Eton Rd tonight though.. Seeing as he gave praise to Rob, and criticism to Eton Rd. Were they better in the final sing off??
how good were westlife and delta this evening :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Im shocked that Robert and Eton Road were in the final two, bless Louis Walsh getting emotional he knew he couldnt lose Eton Road. Robert was my fav of the night with Ben and Leona so I was disappointed to see him go. Ray was weak tonight and the Mcdonald brothers still survive my bet is next week those two will be up against each other.
Really, this isn't a talent contest aimed just at teenagers, little old ladies watch TV on Saturday night ,too.
The McDonald brothers are clean cut and many would be proud to have them as grandsons. Plus they are the only Scottish act left in the compititiion. If you have a local act would you not vote for them?
Ray is cute. I agree that his singing isn't the best, but I bet the older generation prefer him to Eton Road. (I do and I am only 42!)
Singing is only part of the reason people vote, and the demographics count for a lot.
Remember Fame Academy, when Lemar didn't win but David Sneddon did? David was clean cut and Scottish - where is he now? The last I heard of him he was in a Scottish anti litter ad.
If there is any justice - Leona to win
I thought Eton Road were awful last night. Robert was ace, I loved it.
I wish Louis and Simon would stop their petty squabbling. It's ruining the show and they just talk over each other when it comes to the judges' comments.
I know i watched the repeat to see what he was like and he wasnt all that good and everyone knows that He is one of the weakest vocally, i think he should of been in the bottom two, but at least he tried something differentQuote:

I don't think Eton Rd deserved to be in the bottom two, they're the only ones who I find interesting to watch, the others are all boring.
She thought it was a fix that Robert was in the bottom two, which is a load of crap 'cause he's been in it twice! People always say it's a fix if they don't get their own way!
I do think Robert's a pretty good singer, but I can't say I'm sad to see him go.
She thinks (well, actually she "knows" :mad:) that Louis only voted to send Nikitta home last week to get one over on Simon, and she thinks that he should have done the same, but that is not what the competition is about, and besides, Simon voted to get rid of Nikitta last week, too, so it's not like it's that hard to believe that Louis actually preferred Ray.
And I hope Leona follows Louis' advice and gives up the ballads!!
The McDonald Bros are still in the competition?! :eek:
Glad Eton rd stayed, but i don't think either them or Robert should of been in the bottom two. Robert was amazing, shame he had to leave.
Can't believe the Mcdonald brothers are still there :eek:
In two minds about Ben, he has a good voice, but i don't know if i like it.
Leona as always in a league of her own.
i really like eton road but they put in another poor performance last night so really should have gone before robert. i know robert didnt have the popularity of some of the others but he was a lot better than the likes of ray or the macdonald brothers.
i really hope ray goes soon, there is an arrogance about him i dont like and he is only average at best.
But don't you think it's a bit unfair to decide their fate based on one performance..?Quote:

I really hope she doesn't. She's a fantastic singer, yeah, but she still bores the hell out of me.
And no I'm not a racist, as I'm sure a lot of people would like to believe. Even Fiona Phillips (GMTV), who I always thought had pretty senisble things to say in her column, has written an article about how black people and girls are discriminated against in these comps, blah blah.
Which is a load of crap.
I don't vote for Leona, not 'cause she's black, but because, like I said, she's a bore. So I wish people who think that their must be some sort of discrimination going on, just because the voting public don't agree with them, would shut up.
She also went on to use Mica Paris being voted off of SCD as an example of racism. Come on! She was terrible!
She also described Ashley as "fantastic", which says it all, really.. :p
Because as far as i'm concerned, they're the weakest in the competition at the minute. If they deserved to be there, then the fact that they're scottish or not wouldn't come into it. But people voting for them purely on their nationality seems pointless to me. And does the fact that they're clean-cut mean they deserve to win? Ray is pretty clean-cut, so you'd agree that he should win as well then, based on that?Quote:

Ben and Lionna were fab! They deserve to get to the finals, based on those performances.
Robert was ok, not the greatest performance, so its not surprising he left. Though he was better then those bloody McDonald brothers, who dont even look like they want to be there, half the time!
Ray was a bit strange... i'm pleased he tried something other than swing, but i'm not sure if that was really suited to him...
And dont even get me started on Louis' crocodile tears!
Leona and Ben should definetly be in the final after last night's performances from them! Eton Road and Robert didn't deserve to have been in the bottom 2...it should have been Ray or the McDonald Brothers in my opinion. Sad to see Robert go, but i think they made the right decision when choosing between Eton Road and Robert. Eton Road have more potential.
Totally agree with you except Eton road should have gone.. they made at total mess of that song and Robert has a much more powerful voice.. Ben and Leona for final.. Ben to win :cheer::cheer::cheer:Quote:

Their parents must have one hell of a phone bill, then again, if all of Scotland are behind them......they might even end up in the final?!:eek: :eek: :eek:
Finally Eton Road sing a chart song but make it sound awful. I really would like to see them sing modern songs. Robert didn't derserve to go but i think Simon got ride of him because he was a top performer every week and might have made the final. I think Leona and Ben will be in the final.
McDonalds Bros to win
Simon played a clever game keeping Eton road.. robert would have been a rival to both Leona and Ray.. Eton road have not been together long and are doing well but I think they need a bit more time.. Ben and robert are ready now.. MacDonald bros I would hire for a wedding but I would not be buying anything they produce.. actually I wouldn't buy anything from Leona if she won either... Ben is a true performer and top class...
Nooo not the Mcdonalds to win! BOOOO! :thumbsdow
i wouldnt be buying leonas music either. i think, yes she has a good voice but nothing else, no personality, no wow factor, just boring.
ben has it all as far as im concerened and so do eton road as long as they dont put any more poor performances in.
I think if Louis works better with them like he does with westlife and boyzone they have a great career ahead of them but like you said Ben has it all... Leona is too Christina/Mariha (sp) for me... I feel sorry for Robert cause he has an amazing voice too and didn't deserve to go... Out of all who is left, I would only buy Ben's stuffQuote:

Ray, Leona or Eton Road to win!
I hope so!Quote:

ETON ROAD TO WIN

I would imagine they were good. But then everything sounds better live. It;s when you hear a recording of live stuff it doesn't always sound as good.
X FACTOR bosses have given a huge hint that they expect Leona Lewis to win — by picking a big female ballad for the victor’s single.
The winner will release a cover of American Idol star Kelly Clarkson’s first hit.
And the choice of a belt-it-out song that suits a girl’s voice suggests bosses have chosen it with bookies’ No1 choice Leona in mind.
The stunning ex-secretary, 21, is the 4/9 favourite to win the ITV1 talent show, with Ben Mills, 26, at 2/1.
Her mentor Simon Cowell is bragging that she will become a megastar.
The winner’s song, A Moment Like This, is released on December 20, four days after the show ends, and is a Christmas No 1 cert. It is available to pre-order on HMV’s website.
Kelly, 24, won in 2002 and A Moment Like This sold 250,000 copies in its first week.
The fact the X Factor winner will cover it raised questions over who’d be ABLE to sing it.
An industry insider said: “It’s a difficult number that suits a girl’s voice. Leona’s the only girl left.”
But X Factor insiders said ANY contestant could sing it. A source said: “The song was actually originally recorded by a bloke for the demo tape. We’ll make four arrangements, so it fits anyone’s voice.”
Simon said he is not sure Leona will win, adding: “It think it will be Ben.”
A Moment Like This is a great song, I think Leona would sing it really well.
Oh yeah, lol.Quote:

And I would hardly say Leona is 'stunning', she reminds me too much of an Afghan Hound, but that's just my opinion..
They are talking about male and females being able to sing the song, but, excuse me, isn't there two bands still in the competition?! :mad:
Eton Rd to win!! :cheer:
Why pick a cover song for the winner why can't they get an original song. I'm hoping there is a big shock and the McDonalds Bros win. I don't like the show this year, it isn't about talent more about the diva judges trying to best each other i really prefered last year.
