NOOOOO another of my favourite has gone in the 2nd concesive week!!

I dont think that song choice was anything to do with Maria being in th bottom 2 last night, i think (like someone said) it was down to people thinking she was safe and not voting, and voting for the underdog (Chico)

Even though I like the Conways (look below) I would rather have them go than Maria, as Maria is obviously such a stronger act than the Conways!

However, I had already figured out that whoever went against the Conways in the final showdown (except Shayne and Nicholas) would go because i knew that Louis would save them, so when Maria went up against them i started cringing

Bad decision in my book - but i think that Maria will get a recording contract defo

The coI cant believe it!Chico is still there and the most talented person in the competion has goneThe Conways would have gone evuntally Maria could have won it easy.

I think as well that it was because people though she was safe

BTW can I join the Hate louis club?

[Corkie]

me and my mum said oh louie will deffo choose conways just cos there irish

and it was right it stupid i think maria was one of the best she does rock music can of and i cant believe shes gone


well done louie you might of been an enemy in ireland if you voted conways out but you got booed on saturday you better get used to it

also ive got irish in my blood and i hate conway there so bad

I missed the X Factor results last night as I had to go out. Are you serious? The 'King of Pop' picked the Conways over Maria?

It was shocking! The vote was between Maria and the Conways obviously (even though neither of them deserved to be in the bottom two IMO), and naturally Simon and Sharon saved their own acts, and it came down to Louis to pick. I couldn't believe it when he said he was sending Maria home. Favouritism at its ugliest. Sharon came on stage with Maria and said it was a travesty - which was true - and that Louis had voted with his passport - also true.

Louis made it clear, with his decision, last night that he will vote to save The Conways Sisters over anyone else apart from his own acts.

That means that if the Conways find themselves in the bottom two with Andy, Brenda or Chico it will be the Conways that stay.

The Conways have got a big chance of getting to the final three or four now.

Why oh why is Louis so hell bent on keeping them in??? They have a small amount of talent but could never make it as recording artists!

[BigSister]

Yeah sure you can join the club Princess your number 7

[Pipergun]

Woo! Go us!!

We should all go to a live show and chase him around with a big stick! Muahaha!

[Dan_]

Lol pipergun.

Simon's fallen out with The Conways and I think he will vote them out when they are next in the bottom 2.

[BigSister]

He knows them personally and has done since before the show began. He also knows their family, and is obviously incapable of being impartial. If he felt compromised, then (a) he shouldn't be doing the job of judging in the first place, and (b) he should have said that he couldn't pick between the two and gone to the public vote. I wouldn't normally say that it should go to the public vote, but it would have been better than having an obviously biased judge.

This is a total travesty.

Simon had to support his own group, I understand that. he was sure Louis would keep Maria in.

And that is SOLELY why Louis saved the Conways. Nothing to do with the passport Sharon. Just Louis Wals h being evil.

For GOD'S SAKE SIMON, GIVE MARIA A RECORDING CONTRACT, NOW!!!!

Indeed it is.

I don't think he had to - the winning act is signed to Simon's label, so it's in his own best interests to sacrifice his own act if necessary. He most certainly knew that Louis would save the Conway Sisters, too. I think Simon wants Shayne to win, as he has the most money-making potential.

I think it was 100% 'a passport decision'. And regardless of how they do on XF, there's still money to be made from them back in the Emerald Isle. Louis is every bit as likely to think with his wallet as Simon is.

It won't happen though, as he's said all along that the only XF act he'll ever sign will be the winner.

[LawlerRulez_1991]

They said on This Morning earlier that Simon apparently has offered Maria a contract with his Syco / BMG label. Apparently, they asked her if it was okay for them to say so on the show, and she said it was. He's on the show himself on Monday, so he'll no doubt confirm or deny it then, if he doesn't do so before on one of the XF shows over the weekend. It still seems strange though, as he's always maintained that he'll only ever sign the act that wins the show. This way, he gets the eventual winner and the act that really deserved to win. But he was quoted earlier this week saying that he never thought she had a chance of winning, anyway. He thinks it will be between Shayne, Andy & Journey South, apparently.
