Ben and Simon not agreeing on the song choice

[Vanessa]

i noticed this and it worries me. i hope it doesn't ruin his chances to get to the final. what do you all think?

[GypsyGoth]

I thought it was petty of Simon to criticize him, Ben did a good job and sounded fine on a night when most were below par. But I don't really think Ben stands a chance at making the final, I feel that if he gets 5th, he'll have done well.

Simon just doesn't get him at all. He wants to sing some rock songs and he keeps giving him ballads. :bored:

[Black Dagger]

I felt it was all a bit petty.

But then I don't think Ben came across that well in his VT either and that worried me.

Simon is trying to market him in a place he doesn't belong. Shame.

he prefers boring dullard jay, when ben is so much better.

[GoldHeart]

i doubt it will ruin his chances
he's popular but he's not the best in the competition
i can see why he picked Aerosmith though because his voice is rock style
i still think he's ok though :)

[girlfighter24]

its annoying me how it seems they favouring Jay over Ben its worrying me because Ben could get to the final and win but now I think he will be out in a couple of weeks

He really didnt, came across quite arrogant :/

[Kizzy]

He's been complimented on being one of the nicest in the house though?

I can't believe simon said that, he must have heard him sing the damn song before the show surely?

[Mystic Mock]

Well I've still got the song in my head so Ben must have done something right this week with his own pick.

I do agree about Simon favouring Jay over Ben though.

[warrenhill]

All the finalists are moaning week in week out about their songs...

Is it because they are right or is it because a bit of fame has gone to their heads ?

Its obvious that the final three will be the ones that Cowell wants regardless of who has sung what week in week out.

[mizzy25]

Im so glad someone else has said jay is boring. I like ben.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Ben does not have the x factor

he is just a singer, there is no market for him

its over and he will be out soon

[Cal.]

I don't know why people still go on about how Simon is ridiculous, he's sent his own act home in the bottom 2 when their opponent wasn't in his category just to be controversial. Should be used to it by now.

[Jamesy]

I found it weird how Simon spoke like he had never heard Ben sing it before. Simon just seemed bitter because someone didn't obey his instructions.

I thought it was one of the best performances out of a very mediocre night.

[Marc]

Mel and Simon seem happy to disclose any issues they're having with their own acts

[Cherie]

Worried for Ben tbh you don't go against What Simon wants if you want to progress.... James A, Shayne Ward, Steve Brookstein etc etc
