[Footie_Chick]

I don't know sorry, didn't regonise him from anywhere.
There are quite a few i'm glad got in like Vicky and Susan. It's quite hard to pick out of all of them as they were all really good.

I didn't watch it last night so I can't comment on those that have reached the live shows, but there is a link over on DS saying that some of the contestants who didn't make it throuh are claiming that its a fix because of Kavanagh, Brian McFadden's sister Susan and Michael Stark's (Gerry from Corrie) daughter Hayley getting through. They feel that some have used their celebrity status to gain a place on the live shows, as they believe that having famous faces in the audience will boost viewing figures.

I don't think that's why they put them through Kath, i didn't even know Susan was his sister, and i loved her voice before i found that out. At the moment i can't remember who hayley is, but i didn't know he was her dad.

Their was a blonde girl who i really liked that didn't go through, she'd got glasses, and like short blonde hair with a great cut.

Think Hayley was the one who had the tongue piercing. Susan was good enough herself to get through.
Think the girl your on about was called Jade.

'Grease' rejects complain about "fix"

Grease Is The Word rejects have accused producers of favouring contestants with celebrity connections.

Some performers who did not make it to the final 16 on the reality show believe that former pop star Anthony Kavanagh, Brian McFadden's sister Susan and Coronation Street actor Michael Starke's daughter Hayley were chosen to keep ratings up for the live episodes.

One disappointed hopeful told the Daily Star Sunday: "Rumours have been flying round that certain contestants who have made the live shows were always going to get through due to their celebrity connections. It surely won't harm the programme to have famous people in the audience each week cheering family and friends.

"It's more than a bit of a coincidence. Quite a few people feel it's unfair."

Sour grape syndrome here! They've gotta blame someone. Yes it's hard that they didn't get through themselves, but to get as far as they did is awsome, they should just except it, pulled themselves together and go and try for other things.
