X Factor 2007 - General Discussion

[Abi]

You've only heard her sing other peoples songs though. You really don't know what her songs would have been like.

In which case, what is the point in this competition then? They all sing other peoples songs, and thats all we judge them on. A good artist can sing older songs AND modern songs.

Its completly unfeasible to say that "i dont know what her songs would have been like", because of course i dont. But the point is, we dont know what ANY of them will be like. They pick songs that show them off the best, so we can judge them. "You're Beautifull" is the song she chose to show the potential of her voice, and she couldn't hack it. If thats her best, then i can only imagine her worse.

Oh i love a bit of controversy

EDIT: ANNNDD... She got the least votes tonight, so what hope does that show that she would have sold lots if she had won?

[CrazyLea]

Well that's true, we DON'T know what all of them would be like. So how can you say that Bev wouldn't have sold any records. .

In my opinion on the song choice You're Beautiful - I thought she did an amazing job, but then I hate it by James Blunt. People who love the song by James would probs hate it by Bev. (How I felt about Niki and Because of You). It's all about person preference, you can't say she wouldn't have sold many records, 'cause you just don't know that.

Yes it went to deadlock. Yes she had the lowest votes. That was for this week though. Last week she wasn't in the bottom 2, so millions of viewers liked her last week, didn't this week - for all we know, if she did a great week next week she might have been in it til the end. It's a catch 22. In my experience, most people go for the song choice anyway - or the judge.

I don't trust phone-ins anyway, I think it's all fixed. Yet I'm still addicted .

[DaVeyWaVey]

In Beverley's defence, the public may have not voted for her because they may have been convinced she was safe from going out (she was one of the strongest acts left in the competition)..and besides, not everyone who watches the show, bothers to vote, so there could have been Beverley fans out there that decided not to vote.

To be honest, I would rather buy a record from an artist that has talent..

[CrazyLea]

Dave that is absolutly true. The bit about not everyong voting.

What with the controversy of all this phone-in stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if hardley anyone phoned in these days! No one I know phones in .

There was a little boy on the Welsh News yesterday who said everyone in his house votes though (For Rhyd of course). He was so cute . But makes you think.. someone out there is voting .

[Johnny Allen]

Im starting to think Same Difference will be in the top 3, God help us all, if they are sure yesterday they were alright, but there so cheesy and stupid, Louis is right if they won the show it would be an absolute traversty. Hope will be out next week, my brother knows Phoebe the lead singer and so is following them, but whilst I think their alright last night's song choice was totally wrong. Rhydian was amazing again, and Niki needed that last night, but her right back to the top of her game again.

[no1abbafan]

I'm not rating Niki at the moment, can't put my finger on it, she is screeching a bit on the high notes and only seems comfortable singing ballads. I wish Louis would make up his mind, Hope were brilliant in his opinion the last couple of weeks, better than the spice girls, now they are rubbish cos they were up against his act. I can see the final 3 being Leon, Rhydian and Same Difference.

[Abbie]

I know, Id like to know how many people actually vote

[Siobhan]

I can't actually see myself buying anything from the contestants that are left in the competition... They all annoy me so much.. Having said that, the only X factor entry that I have bought was Ben Mills from last year.. he should have won...

[Perdita]

I so hope that Same Difference will get voted off soon, and then they can go off to Disney World and put their cheesy smiles about there, I don't like their singing, their acts and the way they look. Why are they so popular, I just don't get it? Shame that Bev got voted off, I hope she will still be offered a record deal, with a bit more voice coaching she can be brilliant.

[tammyy2j]

Can't believe Beverly went, Hope gave an awful performance they should have gone weeks ago but Louis kept saving them well now it back fired for him.

Anyone else think Sharon was getting Louis back for not saving Aleesha last week?

Rhydian, Nikki and Same Difference were all great this week even Leon was good
