  2. xfactor2011 says:

    Why the heck are they keeping James Michael and Melanie Mccabe?? They suck!!

    And god that Amelia girl is sooo damn annoying.

  3. nonayobizz says:

    wtf joe cox eliminated boycotting x factor

  4. Boys says:

    Frankie still in too, I might join the boycott here. This years finalists are a complete rabble.

  5. Rob112 says:

    For all all them girls on frankies arse here’s a question, how drunk was you? Seriously I’d rather inject my self with aid

  6. Fiyah says:

    i dont love craig i dont think people his age will vote for him – imo I’m only here for Frankie and Misha they’re tyhe only Stars i see in terms of talent, looks, personality, viability – they’re my top two :)

  7. Legey says:

    Frankie a star? hahahahahaha
    Just a pretty face. And he’s not even really pretty.

  8. mikeyone says:

    louis walsh – does he actually realise that this is a singing competition?

    shocking choices, really shocking – louis is a fool and, in turn, insulting the viewers by picking these talentless fools.

    he has got rid of the best one – and one of the best in the competition. fool.

    • Kat says:

      louis walsh is defo a fool that Goldie character was dispicable & even tho im glad she’s dropped out what a waste of time as it could of been sum1 else’s oportunity 2 prove themselves & make sumthin 4 themselves… wha a joke he shud just NOT b on the show, period!!!

  9. mikeyone says:

    two minutes later the best singer is back in the competition. magic.

  10. Becki71 says:

    how can louis pick goldie over terry or Sam. Thank god Goldie quit fingers crossed they have a wildcard like last year. Terrys a star

    • Kat says:

      I want Terry back he is ace & was not given a propa chance Louis is stupid & needs his head checking out…

  11. Legey says:

    It’s already a Top 16. No Wildcard. They wouldn’t make a Top 20

  12. emma says:

    JOE COX not chosen?! WHAT!!! Marcus’ voice is “generic” according to gary yet he gets through ( fair play as i actually really like him) BUT joe has such a distinctive voice and he iisnt chosen?

  13. Zac says:

    Sophie f******g habibis!! REALY??? Shouldve been misha, amelia, janet and jade

  14. Olivia says:

    Marcus should not have made it I like him but I don’t think his voice is that strong. Lois is a nut how the hell Goldie got so far, I am glad Sammi is back I love her. Kelly made a mistake she should have chosen Jade over Sophie.

  15. Lucy Holmes says:

    I am deverstaed an gutted for John Wilding. I really wanted him to go through and would have picked him over Michael and Marcus.

    I can’t believe Sammi wasn’t picked first time round and was only brought back because Goldie quit.

    Shocked that Kelly didn’t pick Jade.

    That bloke from the keys now in the risk is harsh dropping his mates.

  16. Fiyah says:

    I never know what Louis is thinking – he’s hard on the ones that can actually sing, yet always favoring the crazy acts with the mediocre talent.

  17. Banksy says:

    Can’t believe Jade didn’t get thru total shocker !!

  18. Mary says:

    Im in shock about Melanie not getting through

  19. Steve says:

    Kelly got the girls bang on. Sophie is amazing! Frankie annoying – can’t sing. Should have been Joe!

  20. Cherry says:

    all these singing reality programs are a sham, no real taent required…how can john wilding not make it??? he can sing better than all four guys combined….this is ridiculous!!!!

  21. cjcsPT says:

    RIDICULOUS!!!!!!

  22. Sophie Habibis says:

    helo i will be in the bottom two next week

  23. goldie cheung says:

    u want chop stik

  24. frankie cocozza says:

    i have 7 girls tatoed on my bum

  25. kitty says:

    will i be in the bottom 2 next week

  26. joe cox AKA aiden grimshaw says:

    i was eliminated :(

  27. Carolynne Poole says:

    I wish I got through but Louie picked the joke act overs the talent. I wished I never did Fame Academy or X factor and just saved myself for The Voice next year.

    Also, was horrified when Sam tried it on with me!

  28. Tulisa says:

    Let’s face it, the groups will win!

    • Louis says:

      Oh shut up Tulisa! We all know It’s going to be one of the Overs.

      • Tulisa says:

        Overs, don’t make me laugh!!! You never know about Sophie, but right now it’s Nu Vibe all the way

    • Kelly says:

      I disagree with both of you. I think everybody knows that Sophie Habibis is going to win and become a legend and sell millions of records

  29. bong says:

    shows like this rely on the singing only partially but more on the crowd pull the contestants can possibly generate,hence the more talented ones are normally set aside.jade,john wilding n sami(tho she was recalled after) should have been through automatically.i was gutted when lascel didn’t go thru(as we all know the real reason why he wasn’t selected)for i believe lascel n misha are the best singers in the whole bunch of the wannabes

  30. Sophie Habibis says:

    I’m so going to win

  31. Gamu says:

    The suprise twist is next week I will be returning with Cheryl Cole and will go on to win the show, thank you

    • Cher Lloyd says:

      Yeah but you don’t have swagger and you’re kinda boring. Cheryl loves me and I got to the live shows and I was one of the finalists. Don’t be jealous, not everybody was born to fame ;)

  32. Gamu says:

    i am amazing ,iknow

  33. Katie Waissel says:

    OMG I want to be a star, I want to be a legend and I want to be famous around the world! Who’s that Kitty? She thinks she’s better than me? Everybody knows I am “The X Factor Drama Queen”. Kitty will never sit on the stage and say «Sod it!» like I did and she won’t wear an armour. Furthermore, she will never be in 7th place… if she gets through to the 3rd live show she will be very lucky. Oh she didn’t enter in a soap opera on Youtube like I did, so it mean I am the best. You’ve got to love me. Say «yes» to Katie, not Kitty!

    • Sophie Habibis says:

      you two are nothing compared to me, i’m a star, i was born this way.

      • Kelly Rowland says:

        Sophie you were my third choice so don’t act like you were the best, ok honey? ‘Cause with that attitude the public will say “Get the hell out of the kitchen!”. You are amazing, it’s true but Janet and Amelia are more likeable to win than you.

  34. Goldie Cheung says:

    Da twiist is dah i wil be comin bac nex week for da live show.

    • Nicole says:

      If you do Cheryl, it’s pretty obvious that you will be axed and a week later I’ll be sat there like a robot!

  35. Cheryl Cole says:

    Oh shut it. all of yas i will be coming back to be 5th judge. Alright pet?

  36. Frankie Cocozza says:

    who wants their name to be on my bum

  37. dean mc says:

    bring back joe and jade !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  38. sharon osbourne says:

    Let’s face it, the show has went downhill since I left!

  39. lord alan sugar says:

    Louis, what were you thinking?,goldie cheung can’t sing and she’ll never be a singer,sammy and terry are far better singers, you shoudn’t have selected goldie cheung but you did, and so for that reason, I’ve got to say to you,YOU ARE FIRED!!!

  40. Dan Carney says:

    Carolynne was sent home as a joke

  41. Janice(@MsPuddleduck) says:

    Simon your no longer a judge on the UK version Garry was a great replacement!!!

    as for the twist a bit crewel for the contestants!!!

    Louis you did it a AGAIN another hopeless through to the final four (its my opinion) thank goodness she pulled out!!! because that was the last time I was going to even view the show!!

    Katie Drama Queen yes you were and still are and thank goodness your gone from the show!!!

    Sharon Get ya self back!! the Judges need an iron fist to rule ‘em!! they run a muck most of the time ..
