[Romantic Old Bird]

Actually, I thought Simon's reasoning was absolutely valid - they couldn't win the contest. They had been through that sing-off process every week, and it really was well past their time to go.

Dear God I hope Chico can't win either, but after Maria went, nothing would surprise me.

Sorry, but Nicholas was not a strong singer. He just didn't have the ooomph.

As for voting off your own group, well, unless the mentor is banned from voting, at some stage they will all have to do it.

The only real travesty of the competition was Louis voting off Maria.

Stopping a blip like Maria polling low and being at risk was exactly what the judges veto was introduced for. I am sure people just assumed she would be totally safe.

The Conways were well average.

Anyway, they are back on the circuit supporting Westlife again.
Sadly maria doesn't have that sort of opportunity to fall back on.
