Clearly Simon knew what the public vote would be, you'd have to be an idiot not to.

i think they just do it so they can use the new deadlock flashy sign and sound effect.
DEAD LOCK bang bang.

Yeah Simon only kept them in because they were excitable and bosomy and jumped about a lot. Good (early series) TV, shit act

Yes, but he made himself look even more of an idiot than usual; what kind of cloth-eared dullard wouldn't be able to choose between the Spanish woman and Girl Band? Her performance of Purple Rain was better than any of the boys. And about a billion times better than the Irish Cherub. If he has a career in front of him it'll be to release a novelty song and then, if he's lucky, go on to present Songs of Praise. But Simon seems to think he's brilliant. Jesus.

I weeped. Weeped at the sheer awfulness of Chris Cornell doing a terrible dirge version of a fantastic pop song.

You have to admit it weed on the idiot attempting it on ITVI weeped. Weeped at the sheer awfulness of Chris Cornell doing a terrible dirge version of a fantastic pop song.

Jesus. I always knew he was a proper twat, like, but that's truly bloody dire. Weepy sallow faced boy should do Black Hole Sun next week. Or maybe Kickstand.
True. He's fucking useless. I know it's Simon's job to be rude to him but I agreed with what he was saying. He's totally unremarkable.

Dead Wife Guy is totally not my cup of tea, but he does have a good tone to his voice (it reminds me of Matt Munro), and if he finds the right genre to sing (ie, not any of the songs he's sung so far), I can imagine a market for him. It won't be me; it'll be cruise liners and the like.
But he is better than all of the boys. Weepy Thin Faced Guy is bland and dull, and that song he sang tonight was horrible; Hi De Hi Guy has a thin and weedy voice, and no personality; and the Irish Cherub is sickly and twee - he's cheese personified. And not in a good way. I have absolutely no idea why he gets so much praise from the Panel. He was far worse than either of the acts in the sing off (which considering one was Girl Band is saying something), and deserved to go.
The girls are the best category by far, and should all be in the final. The best tonight was Hippy Bare-foot Girl, but I didn't like her song last week, although that was Cheryl's fault, not hers.

You see, this is why I don't think the judges should be in charge of categories - they don't like to slag off any of their own acts (or vote them off) so you can't believe anything they say about them.

Exactly. And it's ridiculous of them to blame Louis for the fact he was landed with a bunch of duffers; any one of them could have had that category.

If they couldn't pick a clear winner between those two final performances then welcome to deadlock every single damn week. The talent gap between the final 2 will just get smaller and smaller. Will never be as obvious as it was last night. Well not once dead wife guy has gone at least.

Dead Wife Guy isn't the worst of the remainder; Irish Cherub is - he's excruciating.
The best are the girls, and just behind them is Bad Past Girl and Spanish Girl. The boys are all rubbish, and I really can't see the appeal of J20 in the slightest.

I'm ashamed to admit I've developed an irrational but very real hatred of him. I shout abuse everytime he comes on. It's not something I'm proud of...

But there are worse acts before her: Irish Cherub is the current worst, then J20, Hi De Hi Guy, Weepy Thin Faced Boy, and Dead Wife Guy.

I like the Spanish woman - her version of Purple Rain was impressive and she has a marvellous set of, er, lungs on her...

She's fine. She's in the top 5, but not the top 3.

I dunno. At least the X Factor idiot can plead ignorance and say he was just following the orders of Herr Cowell.
Cornell has no such excuse as it was probably his idea in the first place.

i liked cheryl pwning cowell with the 'obvious choice' argument. he was speechless for once!
Oh behave Ed.
Well my vote, if I were to bother to vote and I won't, would go to Diana Vickers for voice and interestingness of style. Whereas, the other possible winning act will be the boyband.
