Its a fooking fix

What I don't get is why people are actually getting their backs up about it. It's a TV. Don't let the TV wash your mind.

As for Facebook, don't get me started.

Somebody said to me this morning, the program is all about singing...Wow, how boring would it be if it was just a singer, no entertainment, which is what these kids are, entertaining. Lighten up you sad old farts!

I do agree with what Viper said though, Lucie has great boobies!

Very true. But they should have some modicum of singing talent and those two quite plainly cant sing. Once the novelty value of them has worn off I cant see them having a music career.

Mind you I suspect as said above. Cowell is looking for somebody to make a quick buck out of. No doubt the people he thinks are decent will already have a record contract ready for them to sign once the show is over...

So were you one of the sad young people who bought the cheeky girls single?? It is about giving people who have the talent to the spotlight. These boys have zero talent and their continuity will be very limited after the show has finished.

Fair enough that Lucy was in the bottom 2 this week, there will ultimately be only one winner but to go head to head with the boys and still lose is a joke!!

All the acts which reach the live finals sign a contract which takes them on the live tour, so for the next 8 months they are all fully paid performers either way (or if your JLS and refuse to sign on to it/buy out of it).
Its only a guess but I recon, Simon knew Lucie was starting to get good, and as it stands his 3 boys are the 3 finalists. If Lucie continues to get more confident and even better then she puts his full house final chances at risk. He knew the twins wouldnt have the lowest votes, so got rid of Lucie and boom bye bye biggest threat.
Now Ollie, Danyl and Jamie can all out perform; Lloyd, J+E and Stacie so the final is pretty much Simons.
J+E I think will go next week, they need to leave the show before the teenybopper fans get board and so that a novelty single can be released. Then after that the twins will just be a male version of the cheeky girls. Switching on x-mas lights for years to come, but doing nothing much else.

Either way, Danyl to win.

No but I bought their poster

It's Cowell's hypocrisy that gets me. He says he'll judge them on their performance on the night, then does the opposite. IMO Lucie was the best singer in the competition and I'm gutted for her.

Obviously keeping those two jokers in the pack keeps up the controversy, keeps the competition in the tabloid headlines and makes Cowell more money. I think longer term he's shooting himself in the foot by spouting about it being a true talent contest then deliberately turning the show into a joke to make a fast buck. Disappointed with Danni Minogue - she should have taken the opportunity to give Cowell a right dressing-down when she was asked to comment by Dermot.

I know what you mean, but the judges have to be careful too. Its simon's show, you try to get one over on him adn you get sharron'd

All these people that are moaning too...If you are so broke up about it, vote for everyone else but John & Edward.

Got to confess I used to quite enjoy the Xfactor (recorded with availability of fast forward button) Think it was the "Someone good getting better" or the someone potentially good getting good sort of thing.

This year seems mediocre and deteriorating

Can't be bothered with it TBH. Too old.

that girl singer actually made me stand and watch, she was really good and looked like the song ment something to her, she sang it with some feeling
