Another X Factor shocker! Two of Simon’s groups left in the bottom two, Futureproof and Hope, and from the moment this was revealed we knew it was bye bye boys.
I much preferred Futureproof. Hope look good and dance well, but they aren’t very strong singers and they don’t come across as very likable. However it has been obvious from day one that Simon is pushing Hope to win this years X Factor series.
So the two groups sang, even though everyone knew Futureproof was going home, and predictably Sharon and Louis voted to send the boys home, leaving Simon with the casting vote. He voted with the pound signs and not the talent, and so the girls of Hope will live to sing another day.
X factor singer, Adam Chandler, from boyband Futureproof, has spoken about the nerves and worries of the X Factor 2007 contestants.
“Everybody is really, really nervous this week,” Adam told the Daily Record. “Last week, we were all on a high because we’d made it to the finals and it was the first live show.
“But this week has been a bit of a reality check and we’ve had to knuckle down. Everybody is in pieces, it’s pretty nerve-racking.”
SPOILER ALERT!!! DETAILS ON TOMORROW NIGHT’S SHOW AHEAD…….
Over in Spain it’s the groups turn to battle it out for a place in the final 12 and the only thing standing in their way is the small matter of impressing Simon Cowell.

With Simon choosing the songs and only one chance to impress, the pressure is on them all to pull out a performance of a life time.
Brother and sister, Sean and Sarah Smith, have been singing together since they were toddlers but now as Same Difference they see this as their chance to shine. “It’s always been our ultimate dream to be superstars” explains Sean, “ever since we were little we always wanted to be pop stars and normally kids grow out of it but we didn’t” and an emotional Sarah goes on to explain why this means so much to them both, “Our family all believe in us and we just want to make them proud, and to go home with nothing for them would be heart breaking”.
