The above threads are positive in the main, but only because, as I said before, Ruth is their third or fourth choice, and seen not to be a threat. I believe Cowell SAW her as a potential threat after Purple Rain, and decided to 'let her go', a la Maria Lawson with Louis. Not right!! FLOATING VOTERS MUST GET BEHIND RUTH!! Her voice is as good as anyone's and I ask you this? Who would have wanted their fave to follow her rendition of Purple Rain on Saturday in the sing-off? The only way is up!! Come On!!
