The X Factor: Has the UK gone deaf?

Laura gets the boot from The X Factor while Rachel and Daniel somehow stay out of the bottom two...

What the hell is going on at The X Factor? Every week the rubbish singers survive, while the ones that can carry a tune get sent home. At this rate I may have to stop ranting about it and actually start voting despite the fact that, knowing my luck, my vote may not be counted, but will still be charged.

Anyway on to the farce that was Saturday night’s show. The fact that Daniel wasn’t in the final two is a travesty. I will admit he did sing the song well, but was by far one of the worst two of the bunch . He looks like a cab driver who accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up on stage. I even have to give Louis credit for pointing out that ‘it suited his limited vocal range’. Spot on.

What annoys me more though is the fact that Rachel was saved from the bottom two. Most of her performance was flat and uninspiring. She clearly has a serious attitude problem after dumping Dannii [I don’t care what Dannii says, picking your own songs, outfit etc. on your own means you’ve stuck two fingers up to your mentor really now doesn’t it?]. I’m not going to get into what was printed in the paper about her because I don’t have to – her performance alone means she shouldn’t be in the competition, no matter how many old ladies she 'allegedly' mugged in her past.

It’s ridiculous that Laura has gone as she was by far one of the best singers. I get that Ruth sang very well, but for me she just doesn’t have the X Factor and Laura did. Simon did have a point that she needed to go back to the quirky style she had in the auditions, but that could easily have been achieved if she’d just had the chance. I thought Eoghan was great again – which has nothing to do with the fact that I have £20 on him at the bookies. JLS were looking better than ever and Alexandra put in another good performance.

Please people, don’t vote for the sob story or because somebody cries and feels sorry for themselves. Vote because they can sing and could be a star. Think Leona Lewis not Steve Brookstein. Thank you m’lud, I rest my case.

Well said, whoever said that :thumbs: though the yshould of added Eoghan to that as well.

Whats the latest with this? Is Rachel going to pick her own song this week? If so then she's got to go. Who does she think she is? Danii does pick some odd songs at times but for Rachel to dump her like that is totally out of order.

yep eoghan was great :)
but its true rachel and daniel should of definatly been in the bottom 2 they were the worst

Daniel was better than Eoghan, Rachel and Ruth on saturday, therefore he didn't deserve to be in the bottom 2 on that performance alone.

Daniel didn't deserve to be in the bottom 2, Eoghan and Rachel did. If the judges didn't slate Daniel but praised him, I do wonder whether people would have this attitude towards him.

Dannii did, she just took a step back. As Dannii said the VT was misconstrued
