Brenda Out
 

Andy, Shayne and Journey South in the final.

I can't believe it!!!!!I really though Andy should have gone!!!That's my phone credit down the drain.Journey South to win!!

I'm Gutted!

I relly didnt think she would be out Tonight!
She has givin a Brillant performance every week! Getting Better and better every Week!
She deserved to be in the final more than Andy, JS and Shayne!

Im absotly devestated!

Sooooooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooo guttered Brenda is going home and sooooooo soooooo angry Shayne and Andy are staying over her.

I want JS to win now but now Brenda's out i won't be watchng the final. Once Maria was voted off i only weatched it for Brenda and now the final won't be the same and there is no way ill be watching.

Ive supported Brenda since her audition!~

She is FANTASTIC and the final will be so dull and Boreing!

Brenda brought life to the X Factor.

We can just expect slow, Sad and broreing songs from andy, Shayne and JS in the final!

I hope Brenda get a record deal! - She deserves it!

Brenda will do well.She has a brillant voice and bucket loads of personality.You so deserves to do well.

Yeah im shocked too but she will do well. I like all the 4 finalists so whoever went tonight I would be gutted

Well everyone best be expecting to be bored to sleep by Shayne and Andy next week.

JS will give good performances and SHOULD win!!!!!

BRENDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! :bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling:

im not that shocked my two favs are still in shayne and journey south:dance:

I was SO surprised that Andy got through. He was definitely the weakest tonight. Maybe his fans knew that he was thought the most likely to go, so they voted in their droves. When it was down to Brenda and Journey South, I was hoping JS would get through, because I really want them in the final, but I honestly thought that Brenda would be the one to go through. To be honest, I was surprised when Kate said that Andy was through to next week, because I fully expected him to be going.

Did anyone else see how shocked Kate looked when she read the results for the first time after they handed her the card? As soon as I saw her face, I knew somebody unexpected would be going out.

I think Brenda guessed that she would be going as well, because when kate read Andy's name out (and he looked as shocked as anyone), Brenda hugged him and told him to go on and win it.

Journey South to win!

im not a Brenda fan but she didn't deserve to go Andy should have but oh well JS are still there so im pleased

I was surprised, because I thought even before the show that it would be Andy that went home. I missed his second song, but after his first I thought he was a dead cert. to leave. Still, Brenda was the third best act on the night, so it wasn't a massive shock, really.

You really think she was third best? *Yay I'm back on. >_> For today.* Shocked though I am, I knew that one of Sharon's acts would be going as they always fix it. But still, I thought it would be Andy, he really was the worst by far. Now I'm backing Journey South, as they can at least sing + play their own music, rather than depending on other people to provide the backing. Andy really wasn't good, and Shayne... ugh...

I was a bit suprised it was Brenda leaving but I did have a feeling that she might go.

bad decision, Andy should've gone this week :rolleyes: :mad:

I don't think any of the three finalists deserve to win. I can see whoever winning fading away into obscurity. Reminds me just a tad of last year.:hugesmile:

What is the problem with normal women with great voices winning these shows in the UK? In the most of cases the women have outclassed the men in the talentstakes but yet fail to win unless they are 20+ stone mammoths.

Shame really... because now they have the "loser" tg a lot of them will get no-where despite the bags of talent they possess.

I know why it is except i may offend if i say the reason. Actually I shouldnt offend anyone so I will say:
I think its just because most people who vote are teenage girls and they just say to themselves "lets vote for the one that looks the fittest" meaning the women have no chance.
I cant find any other reason why Brenda was voted out, I think that her and Shayne were the best on Saturday. Andy should've gone.
:rolleyes:

I fully agree with you Sol!

Seriously, it should have been a Brenda/Maria/Journey South final. But no, of course it was never going to be.

A complete travesty.

The lass could knock the socks off any of the others.

Shane did do pretty well last night. I think we can assume him or J south have it in the bag for the reasons Sol mentioned above.

Dear me. So sad.

Sorry, I don't see Shane with a big career.

Yes.

Well they did last Saturday night. I only looked up from my crossword a few times, and saw a violinist and a rather large choir, for starters ...


That doesn't explain last year's winner though, does it? Do you really think that teenage girls were voting in huge numbers for brookstain? He won on the housewives' vote, if anything. That also explains why his 'career' was over before it started, and why his album was a complete flop.

I dont know about last year CharlotteSometimes, its just my theory on saturday's voting

I think that may have played a part in it sol, but not all teenage girls have minds that work like that.
And it's not just teenage girls who watch the show, either.

Well with what Charlotte is saying if mostly housewives vote then I can see Andy winning

no no, of course it isnt, im not being chauvenistic or nothing its just that is probably the reason. I know that a lot of teenage girls wont vote like that at all, but the fact is that the teenage grls who do do that, are enough to tip the vote in favour of Shayne and JS etc... if you understand what im getting at, im not being nasty or anything :spin:

It's not teenage girls, or housewives, that vote most - it's women in general. But probably those two groups more than any other, as they're the most likely to be at home on Saturday nights.

Teenage girls aren't likely to vote for Journey South, as they're too old and middle of the road. But they've got the housewives' vote in the bag, for sure. Shayne will pick up votes across the board, but Andy seems to have the narrowest fanbase of all.

The poll on GMTV earlier today had Journey South at 43%, Shayne at 40% and Andy at 17%. The bookies have Shayne as favourite - his shortest odds are 8/15, and his longest are 8/11. Journey South aren't far behind, with shortest odds of 6/4 and longest odds of 2/1. Andy is miles behind - his best odds are 6/1, and his worst 17/2.

None of that takes song choices or performances on the night into account, though.
