The Unconventionals: First To Leave X Factor

The Unconventionals have become the first act to leave the X Factor competition.

In a vote that saw a Louis Walsh act up against a Sharon Osbourne act, Simon Cowell has the deciding vote. On the strength of tonight’s performance, he chose to reject The Unconventionals.

The Unconventionals: X Factor Contestants

Personally, I thought The Unconventionals were a great act with real potential to follow along the line of G4 from two years ago, but tonight’s performance was awful. There was just far too much going on all at once. It was anarchy.

Saved from eviction was Dionne Mitchell, who was in my top three performances tonight. I still can’t understand how she ended up in the bottom two.

As I write this, Kate Thornton has been talking to Ben Shepherd on Xtra Factor. She seemed distracted and confused by the decision to eject The Unconventionals and said that you can never second-guess the general public in a competition like this!

So, goodbye to The Unconventionals and good luck to Dionne for the rest of the competition!

    It’s such a shame that the Unconventionals were the ones kicked out.

    I thought that their performance was fantastic, and would have much rather had Eton Road leave. There’s something that I just don’t like about them.

    I enjoyed Dionne’s performance, and as soon as Ashley was put through, I knew what was coming.

    I REALLY hope they get a contract anyway, as they are great singers, and they are different. We need something fresh in the music industry, as there is too much emo/gangster/dance music out there. The Unconventionals would give us something fun, new and exciting.

    I don’t know if I can be bothered to watch anymore, as only 2 of my favourites, Ben and Karen, are left.

    Whoever wins this year had better be the best act yet.

    A shame that both them and Dionne were in the final two. There were far worse performers on the night. Im rooting for you Dionne, you have a trus gift.

    The Unconventionals? They never stood a doggie’s chance!

    How could the ‘yoof’ of today text their votes in for this band? They couldn’t possibly spell it on their own without their teachers help, could they?

    Look at the posts above.

    Why do you think G4 did so well two years ago?

    Tip: For those A-level students among you:

    If this last post was a bit esoteric for you, try a few more years of study, then come back and read it again.

  6. Curious Her says:

    p.s. ’sarahhhhh-x’, how much money did you spend trying to vote for ‘dion’?

  7. Curious Her says:

    Tip:
    Try voting for 4Sure next week. It’s easier to spell.

  8. Angelica says:

    Oh dear very catty, Let us remember that we are here to discuss the contestants not each others intellectual abilities.
    On a seperate note, I think that Dionne did very well tonight and I concurr wholeheartedly with you Sarah.

    In fairness, The Unconventionals is dead difficult to spell. I tripped over it loads of times last night, had to keep correcting myself!

    Hi Brad,
    Quote: “I tripped over it loads of times last night, had to keep correcting myself!”

    - EXACTLY!

    In the time it would have taken the average A-level student to text ‘The Unspellables’ correctly you could have voted for all the other acts put together!

  12. [...] The Unconventionals were the most individual act to make it through to this year’s X Factor finals. In a shocking twist, they were evicted during the first live show of the season by Simon Cowell. [...]
