The man was ill, wasn't able to practise, wasn't able to rehearse and still managed to escape the bottom two. You don't get that level of support for nothing....... he clearly has more fans than Cher does.

Well I've never studied it so no :L

He has his fans though, like even if Cher came out tonight and gave a totally **** performance [which I know she wouldn't but for example] well I'd still vote for her. He may have more fans, or Cher's just may not vote, who knows.

That's the way it goes. That's showbiz.

In fairness to most of the contestants though they haven't gone to the press to attack other people, Matt has. It's more of a representation of his personality rather then anyone else's.

You don't have to study it. You simply have to know enough about tonsilitis in adults to realise it is far more than just having a little sore throat.

You clearly are a devoted Cher fan - that goes without saying and at least you are true to your word, and are sticking by her, regardless. Good for you. (and I'm not being sarky there, I'm being honest)

Perhaps Matt had very good reason. People don't often do things for no real reason, just for the sheer hell of going to the press. Often they are put into a position that to remain silent, is simply untenable.

I think it's more likely he's desperate to win and wanted to sabotage the rest of them, like you yourself said it's cut throat.

And I don't, therein lies the difference of opinion.

Matt may be goal orientated but he does not come across as malicious. As I say, I suspect it's a case of he was put into a situation whereby he felt he had to clear the muddied waters.

I remember 'someone' said he was annoyed that Katie had said they were having a fling,can you blame him?she was lying,and i do think that anything in the press should be taken with a pinch of salt(they have their faves too)Simon himself said he had got to know Matt and that he was a very genuine SINCERE guy,maybe with Matt,what you see is what you get,no pretence with Matt,seems the press are only true if the story is derogotary about someone people don't like.Lots of people have said Matt is a nice guy,of course people wont believe that if they don't like him,they want to reinforce anything bad.

Precisely my point earlier Kazanne - I suspect he was very much in the position of having to speak and to defend himself - to put halt to gossip and rumour mongering.

I think he's looking for the sympathy vote, I have Tonsilitis a lot pretty much once a year if I'm lucky and more if I'm not. I can barely move when I get it and it takes weeks for me to feel 100% again, he might have been ill last week but it wasn't tonsilitis, you can't sing like that with it, I can barely stand and can't talk at all when I've got it. I reckon he might have had a cold and was trying to look for sympathy at best.

I'm talking about the times when he's gone to that X Magazine and called the others *****s for acting like Divas. It's very unprofessional, At least Rebecca has the decency to rise above it all.

And you were there when he said this?right.If he was that bad he wouldn't have said it openly would he?he has probably said something that has been taken way out of proportion,but that would not suffice the 'haters' would it.

[Mr XcX]

He will be safe tonight. I hope.

He could be in a coma and still beat FAKE SLUT Cher and WANDERECTION!!

That's because the boring COW has no personality.

Matt is the best singer of the lot.

End of.

[joeysteele]

Tonsillitis or not, this means loads to Matt and he will come out and give his all, he can worry about his voice and illness next week.

I have all faith he will be there, do his absolute best and even with an illness,his best is still way above the others in the competition.

Considering he said it in their official magazine is pretty damning. You can slam the 'haters' but blind faith is just as bad.

[Mr XcX]

I find it laughable anyone can call Matt boring compared to Walking corpse Rebecca.

OneDIREction have the same personality too. Boring, Bland and FAKE.

I wouldn't say so, he's got a pretty voice but it's plain and lacks distinction and character. He relies on the high & big notes because his voice doesn't have the thrall to keep an audience otherwise. He's a male Leona at best really, pretty voice but not much else.

Her voice is much more layered, subtle and interesting, she doesn't need falsetto or big stupid notes because she's a master of the understated. Less is more.

No disrespect to you, but seeing as you have not examined Matt, (and I presume, are not a doctor or ENT specialist either), you aren't in a position to say he didn't have tonsilitis. I'd rather go with the reports from the XFactor directly.

If you suffer from tonsilitis yourself, you will be therefore very aware that it affects people in many different ways.

I have years that I get it 2 or 3 times a year, (and some years pass with no bouts) and whilst it does not totally floor me the way it appears to do with you - I do have the most awful fevers, skin clammy, throbbing throat, pounding head and ears - but I can still function where I have to. I can still speak but it is excruciatingly painful, but I can use my vocal chords.

Compared to WHAT.

The Mime act WANDERECTION who just play a CD. Cher who cringely raps. Or Rebecca who sounds like she is GROWLING!!

I like Matt but I hope this is true, it'll increase One Direction's chances of winning.
