Any excuse will do.

When you think of the standard of the singers left in American Idol at this stage, it's really quite embarrassing to have people like these people.  Even though there are 3 or 4 people in the X Factor who are reasonably good singers, there is really no comparison in the standards.  And I don't think I have ever seen anyone get booted off American Idol who has gone with such bad grace as some of our contestants.  Rachel's reaction was shameful - she had a face like a smacked arse.

Oh yes.. if Rachel had stayed I'd have been celebrating.   

Teen girls will be topping up their phones next week for sure to save Lloyd Daniels, maybe they run out of credit this week?.

I'm gonna pour one in celebration ... anyone joining me? *ducks*

That`s what I like about you.

simon did the right thing letting us have the say but yes rachel was better on the night

 If this G & T wasn't so perfectly mixed and delicious I'd have chucked it at you!

Dannii having a cheeky dig at Jedward there. Tough Rachel in the bottom 2 a couple of times and that still weren't enough to save her, when it should have fired up her fans to vote.

What is the point in a sing-off??

It's understandable that she was gutted.

Cheryl can't take any criticism whatsoever. Go on Beverley from Lancashire.

Argh! My laptop crashed!
How many times to they take it to the public vote now? No point in the sing off!!

And her voice wasn't much better.    BUT shes clearly not likeable and that was her problem, she is everything that Danyl has been wrongly accused of being.

PMSL a woman on the phone called Claire told Cheryl her dress was awful.

I like the Judges on the panel and taking phone calls on the xtra factor, much better than a quick Holly interview over the judges desk.

The top of Cheryl's dress lastnight looked like a pen holder.

Jedward have made the X-Factor tour. Really glad Danyl has been given another chance.

Agree Bit like the wright stuff...

darlo dont they all go on the tour?

Backstreet boys don't think Lloyd should of stayed Their making their voices heard

Whoever would make it through this are the people that make it ILWY since we're nearly halfway through the show.

well the public thought differant

Age 12-16 girls thought different... the dulls must of thought it was a vote on the looks show

Simon didn't really want to save Rachel because he knows she doesn't have the public backing.

dopey gooey eyeyed  teenyboppers thought different, ILWY

thanks darlo,i thought they all went on the tour

shame he doesn't recognise the same thing in danyl.

Holly can't hide her bias towards Stacey and she clearly doesn't like Jedward.

Absolutely - he thinks if he keeps shoving him down our throats (oh... bad choice of phrase ) we will grow to love him.   Don't think so, Simon.

Is that on the thread or the public?.

I wonder if I'm alone in thinking that Lucie should have gone for completely murdering one of the few actual rock songs on display last night... Out of the two that were up, the wrong one went based on the last performance.

And can people stop mentioning bloody Diana from last year, I just keep thinking of that misheard lyric video with 'and there be bunny crimes'. Awful, awful singer.

.... except Danyl is RIGHTLY accused of it...

i will never tell..

Well, she's doing better than most of the singers this year will, whether you like her or not.

Well another week of Jedward and Danyl, another week of moaning bring it on.


Backstreet Boys being shown Jedward singing their song lol and all the praise.

Nice one Holly. I hope the tables are turning for Danyl.

i need an explanation, because i'd like to laugh as well, ta.
