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!
