If you stand still you get overtaken and I don't think you can blame the voting system. If people liked her so much and considered she had the X factor they would have voted for her and she wouldn't have been in the bottom two. Her performance on the night wasn't that good anyway. Accept it and get over it! Good luck also to Ruth who did a great rendition and gives the most believable performances of the lot of them - her response to being saved was incredibly gracious. One thing we do agree on - that awful Rachel, who is a whiny self-opinionated and arrogant old bag! She can't even sing that well and I don't know how the judges gave her half-decent comments on the night, unless they couldn't hear her properly. The sooner she goes the better!

I do like Rachel too but I was shocked and appalled to see Laura go. I wish Rachel would sing like she did in her very first audition though. She's starting to suck. If Laura makes an album, I'll buy it for sure. And I know a lot of other Canadians that would too. She has great style (I agree with Simon that she should just be herself) and HUGE talent.

It would be a lot fairer if we could ring in to vote OFF contestants based on their performances, instead of voting to keep them in, because that way the weakest contestants would be gradually voted out, leaving the strongest competitors to battle it out until the end. Then during the final the public could vote for who to win, you know like on Big Brother or whatever. That would make for a much more credible show. I think that one of the biggest problems this show has is that the public tend to assume that the most talented singers will get a load of votes anyway, so they decide to instead vote for who they feel sorry for, etc. I think that is what happened with Rachel and Daniel being saved AGAIN this week. The judges reasoning for voting off Austin was apparently because they felt Rachel had a raw talent and needed time to prove herself to the public. Well by that time Rachel had already had 4 weeks and had delivered one bad performance after another, except on the big band night, when she finally improved, but even that night she was no better than anyone else. On the other hand, Austin’s performances have been consistently original and phenomenal, proving his talent and his versatility. His performance of Billie-Jean was OUTSTANDING. Better than Chris Cornell and David Cook from American Idol (I have done my research, lol). Everyone I know thought so, and yet Louis ripped him to shreds talking about the arrangement! Clearly Louis doesnt know what he is talking about and it was just a chance for him to have a dig at Simons contestant. Austin also comes across as such a down-to-earth and sweet gentleman. Without a doubt, the most talented male ever to enter any of these competitions. He is also a musician and a songwriter, unlike many other stars who have made it big simply by standing in front of a mic and singing other peoples songs. So this week was Rachel’s chance to make it up to the judges for keeping her in, but she delivered yet another below average, forgetful performance. And yet the judges pressured the public to keep her in. I’m sure Austin would have done a mind-blowing performance of Mariah Carey if he had been given the chance. I think if Austin had been put through to the live shows last year he could have won the whole thing, because last year the voting seemed to be a lot fairer. Also, it took Leon Jackson weeks to really impress the judges, and since Austin was so brilliant from the beginning JUST IMAGINE how incredible he would have gotten with more time in the competition, after he really got time to get comfortable and confident in himself. Last year, it is said that the judges didn’t put him through because he didn’t act like he “wanted it” enough. Yet this year they are criticizing him for apparently wanting it “too much” or being desperate. Louis said he was “trying too hard”. Well what is the point in even being in the competition if you aren’t going to give it 100%?! Louis Walsh is a hypocritical, self-contradicting, unreasonable idiot and is really causing a lot of public outrage. Yes, I also agree Ruth deserved to stay, she is passionate, fiery and talented, but really neither her nor Laura should have been in the bottom 2. Should have been Rachel, Daniel or sadly Eoghan. Diana should not be given a free ride to the final either. I am sorry but I really dont think Diana is talented at all. Her voice is weak and limited, and her hands in the face all the time is so annoying! What is special about this girl? The only reason she is "unique" as they say is coz, unlike most of the others, i.e. Austin and Laura, Diana is out of her league in this show. And just coz she managed to reach some of the higher notes during disco week doesnt mean that performance was good, because her voice still doesn’t compare to the other contestants that have been voted out in the past 2 weeks. The judges are lowering the bar for her, for some reason. FOR GODS SAKE, she sat down for the entire thing Blondie performance, and it was a DANCE song. AUSTIN HAD THE FULL PACKAGE. Why is there so much media coverage of the Laura White petition, but none of the Austin Drage petition. His was there first! Hey Mrs Angry, wow I couldn’t agree with you more.

I think all the newspapers and all the people signin the petitions to get Laura back should stop to think how Ruth must be feeling in all this. She doesnt deserve it and it most certainly isnt Ruths fault Lauras gone. Also instead of the petition they should of put there money where their mouth is and voted for Laura on Saturday. I hope Ruth can go on to win this becasue shes the best one there in my oppinion. She puts her heart and soul into her performances and has been consistant all the way through.
