X Factor 2008!

Eoghann is cute and appeals to young girls and moms,

I'm not picking on you, but why do people think it is mothers voting for that kid??!!  His own mother maybe ...

I'm still rooting for Ruth. Very disappointed with Rachel, she was so great at the auditions but she doesn't seem to be able to get it together on the live show, so far. Diana is driving me potty, far too little girly girly.

LOL... you might be right!     DH always says he appeals to the moms, but then, how many of them actually vote?  I imagine the majority of actual voters would be young girls, so maybe that is why.  He has big hair... lol....
They should make online voting available, but I guess so many people would get on that the servers would crash.  Maybe if they let people vote online, for free, for 24 hours, then ran the results show the next day more people would vote and it would be a bit more fair.  Anyway, I would vote if I didn't have to send a stupid text or whatever for probably £5!!!   

I'm still rooting for Ruth.

Me too. I love her, but didn't think she was great this week - hopefully it was just because of the throat issues and she'll be back on form next time.

I do like Diana and am so grateful the hand is gone ... for now.

OK, maybe I'm the only one, but I really like Eoghan. I thought he was great this week.

Austin is dull as dishwater and has no personality. He had to go. Sorry, but Louis was right.

I don't understand the Laura love. She's OK when she's belting (i.e., shouting) out a song, but otherwise she's completely off-key.

Is it true that Mariah will be there next week? And Britney after that?!?!?! 

I'm very seriously considering not watching anymore. When someone like Daniel (likeable enough, but a potential star? Nah.) keeps on staying in (not even in the bottom two!!!) at the expense of people with talent, I'm not sure what the point is. 

DH loved Laura. I liked her a lot (she's probably the only other one aside from Diana who I would actually listen to in "real life"). She wasn't great last night, but there were SO MANY worse performances.

I also have to say I don't get Ruth. Or JLS. But I completely admit that that's because they're just not my thing - not the kind of music I like.... But at this rate they'll be in the final three with Daniel. 

I thought Rachel stunk.  Really stunk and she should have had her behind voted outta there.  I just wish the judges would stop talking about her "raw talent" and tell her she stinks when her performances suck.  She just doesn't have the mental fortitude to continue.   

Eoghan surprisingly does.  He's one who has gotten better as the weeks have gone on.  he's rising to the occasion. 

Love JLS.  Love Diana.  Like Ruth.  And Daniel well, there are enough lonely older women who love him and vote for him. I thought he did quite well, certainly better than Rachel or Laura this week, for that matter. 

Laura should have wowed everyone this week and she didn't so really, she deserved to be voted out.  I love how Ruth blows everyone away in her survival performances.  That's what keeps her in the competition. 

BOO X Factor!!!!!!

I agree 100%! I'm fed up with it at this point.

BOO X Factor!!!!!!

Ditto!

Rachel does suck. Her singing sucks except every now and then when she hits a good note...so not good enough...and her personality sucks. I just don't like her. at. all.

I am shocked that Laura went, I definitely picked her as my winner.

Saying that, I don't actually watch the studio shows because I find them god awful boring, I usuall DVR them and FF everything except for the start of the song and the comments, I never watch the results show.

Rachel does suck. Her singing sucks except every now and then when she hits a good note...so not good enough...and her personality sucks. I just don't like her. at. all.

I fully agree... can't believe her and Daniel have stayed in while Laura, Austin, and Scott were voted off.  Each one of them was a far better singer than Rachel or Daniel.  I do like Ruth, she puts a lot of energy into her performances, even if she isn't the best singer, and I think Laura could've done more last week, but for those two to be on the bottom is just ridiculous.... then again, I don't vote for the stupid show, so who am I to complain??!!   
I like Diana, but I really think Alexandra might be my pick to win.... she always seems to shine, and she seems like a very genuine person.

I never liked Laura, so BUH-BYE!

Rachel to go next please!

I never liked Laura, so BUH-BYE!

Well we just can't be friends any more then!

 

I hate hand girl the most! I really want to chop it off!

JLS are my personal favourite with Rachel following..

Well we just can't be friends any more then!

 

I think I am done with the show now too.  I just can't believe the people they are kicking off when Daniel and Ruth and Rachel are still there! 

I think that Simon and Louis chose to keep Ruth because they knew Laura could definitely beat their acts but Ruth SO wouldn't.  And if that's the kind of show they are putting on now, I am on strike!

I know I'm dramatic but I looooooooooooved Laura and Austin was my second favorite.  Argh!

I think Ruth is really good.
