Thanks, someone who agrees with me. What a complete and utter bitch.
That's a disgusting word to use about anyone, even if you had just cause to dislike them. She's not a dog, she's a human being. If she didn't light your lemons, then you've every right to say so. But there's really no need or justification for comments like that. If I didn't 'know' both of you, I'd have dismissed those posts as idiotic. You've both really surprised me, to say the least.
Sorry, that was a bit harsh. However, her talent can't compare with Nicholas' and of the two, there really was no contest.

I think the right person definitely went last night. Nicholas was rubbish as well last night, but he is better overall.

More than 'a bit', jrc.

She was miles better than Nicholas last night, and he should've gone. But then again, it would have been far more just had any two from Chico, Conway Sisters, Journey South or Brenda been required to sing again last night. Nobody can really say that there was 'no contest', either. Chenai was never going to win, but neither is Nicholas. It's highly unlikely that either will ever get a record deal, so there's really no way of knowing - other than the fact that the American market would laugh at Nicholas, whilst Chenai would have a better shot as audiences aren't biased against attractive women in the US.

I don't see Chenai having a better shot anywhere. Least of all in America where the talent is better, she has a lisp when she sings and she's been out of tune most weeks. I don't see many people being biased against Maria here and I can see her winning it.As for Nicholas there are many singers like him in America and they don't get laughed at.

Chenai was well overdue to leave the show. Nicholas certainly was rubbish on Saturday, but overall he has been better than Chenai.

I'm amazed Chenai even made the final 12. She doesn't have a good singing voice (it sounds like she's singing with a cold most of the time) and I don't see any passion at all when she gets up there on stage. I especially don't like the way she's played for the sympathy vote throughout this contest either.

Mariah Carey has a very obvious lisp, which certainly hasn't done her career any harm. The prettier the girl/woman is, the less chance they have as far as UK reality tv is concerned. As a BB fan, I'm quite surprised that you've never noticed. Kate Lawler is one of very few exceptions. Maria deserves to win this year, but I'll be very surprised if she does. Nicholas would be laughed at in America because (a). He can't really sing very well at all. (b). He can't dance to save his life - quite a drawback for a young solo act. (c). He's extremely fake, and they'd see through him in no time.

Chenai is not even half as good as Mariah though.If an attractive girl is good enough she will end up winning. If Kelly Clarkson would have been in one of our talent shows she would have won easily. Maria's proably going to do really well and all, some women are jealous but most see through it and just vote on talent.

In BB many of the women have been poor housemates or the males have been of a better quality. If Helen had been in any other bb she would have proably ended up winning.

As for Nicholas there are acts like him in America who don't get laughed at, they have had acts like him on American Idol that have been popular.

Well of course she isn't. If she was, she wouldn't need to be taking part in a tv talent contest. And I think we'd struggle to count female vocalists still living and recording at the moment who could compete with Mariah Carey on more than the fingers of one hand. There's nobody I can think of to prove that theory though, I'm afraid. Kelly Clarkson is a fantastic talent, but she's attractive in a way that's not particularly 'threatening' to women. Well they didn't on Saturday night, did they?

Do you really think that Scott & Cameron were better hm's than Anouska or Nush (BB4)? Or Stuart & Jason better hm's than Emma or Michelle (BB5)?

I can't think of any. I only started watching AI last year, but the only act that compares with Nicholas, ability wise, would be Scott Savol. I found him hilarious, as did most of the US forums at the time.

Surely the conways will be out next? I'm sure a lot of people will not vote for them on principle now.

I'm not getting angry, though. All I did was suggest that you were being a bit single minded, but since you weren't there isn't a problem.
