Why arnt the votes vetted by a completely impartial team and anounced publicly, as the public are being duped into spending their money voting? SC is in total control and manipulates acts he could make financial gains from. The two idiots HE kept in, cant sing or dance or even entertain (unless you think two prats jiging around is entertainment). I feel realy sorry for the young Welsh girl who was fantastic to listen to, every week. I'm not stupid enough to waste my money voting on this program but it cant be right to see a promising young vocalists career tossed aside because of the idiots on the so-called judge's panal and the shows dubious production team. |

I think the answer is simple....it was one less good singer 'out of the way' thus less competition for his three, whilst knowing that they wouldn't survive much longer anyhow. The other point is that from a betting perspective, if you have a 'single unit' then the public can only vote for that 'single unit' ie the girl, whereas if you have more than 'one in the unit' ie groups with two, three, four, five people isn't it obvious that the latter would receive greater numbers of votes, family, friends etc x 2, 3, 4, or 5? Therefore I reckon Simon Cowell knew exactly what he was doing and that is why he said he would leave it to the public vote. Disgraceful!! |

He replied that his company will only invest a certain amount each year in signing up and coming acts and he had already committed . He then went on to say that JLS were signed by another company, but it didnt matter anyway as he was also involved with that company. Says it all really doesnt it? |

Well I will give the guys A for effort. They didn't seem to waver in their routine, but it was a little cheesy or campy however you want to describe it. I would be curious to see the Welsh girl's performance as well that you mentioned. Is that on there as well? |

But I wont be watching it again. When good singers get booted for school ground,(infantile),performances then whats the point? Looking for entrants for X Factor next year. The only rule is no talent and you must not be able to sing. |

My 4 year old and 9 year old loved the Ghostbusters thing though! |
