X Factor: The Winner Takes it All
..but that winner won’t be Ashley McKenzie.
To be honest, he was lucky to survive last week, he’s never really fulfilled any of the potential he showed at his audition, and it was only really the Rod Stewart week where he showed any kind of spark - and I’m not sure if thats because I hadn’t really heard the song before, so had no preconceptions about how it should sound.

I truly feel that Ashley is out, not just because of his rather arrogant attitude, but because Simon let him down with some appalling song choices. Moonwalk last week was just horrendous, and last night’s song was abysmal. He couldn’t cope with the lower register, his phrasing was odd, it just didn’t sound right.
I think when Simon watches the show over, he will realise that Loius had no choice but to send Ashley home.. never mind giving him the evils Simon! It just makes you look ridiculous and you’ll have to have Botox to get rid of the frown marks on your forehead if you ain’t careful.
What on earth was Robert doing in the bottom two though? Sharon must be wondering what the British Public are upto. When we still have travesties in the competition such as the MacDonald Brothers (STOP VOTING FOR THEM - ITS NOT BIG, ITS NOT CLEVER) and Ray (SWINGERLOO IS WRONG ON SOOOO MANY LEVELS!), I can’t understand why acts which at least have potential, like Ashley and Robert, are in the bottom two.
Most bizarre.

Frist of all the song is called Moon Dance, not Moonwalk. And Ashley did a great job, he really works to bring his own style to it. I am sure with more experience he will get better and better. He is extermely talented and will be making records regardless. I assure you. I agree 100% about the McDonald Brothers. I dont get it. I think the whole of scotland must just get out and vote for their own. They are bland, bland and bland. I can’t beleive they outlasted a strong soulful singer like Dionne. I guess Britian doesn’t want a soul singer. In America Dionne would be hot. Kerry and certainly Nikkita should have out lasted them. When will they go?

I don’t really like the way you spoke about Ashley actually! Plus Simon knows his stuff!!
If Ashley was into the final I think Simon would have supported all the way! Which he did!
Your sad if you lay Ashley down!
GO ASH!
