THEY HAVE GIVEN RACHEL TOO MANY CHANCES AND ALWAYS STICK UP FOR HER WHICH IS NOT FAIR

daisydina01/11/2008 23:56:20

wrong 2 in bottom 2 nite and once again wrong decision by the judges. rachel has had 4 weeks to shine,same as the rest.much as i like her i think austin was the far better singer in the sing off and throughout the competition.hold your head up austin,you were robbed.

I must add, it's just bad taste to bring Rachel's private life into this. Did Daniel sing his wife's favourite disco track? Some people have no idea about real life. At least Rachel has made no secret of her mistakes. Or are we suggesting that at 13yrs old, she 'chose' to become a mum? Get in the real world, open your eyes and give the girl a break.

gaia01/11/2008 23:21:06

Oh come on! Don't tell me Daniel is capable of winning the X Factor? Really, he is awful! There is no way that either Rachel or Austin should've been in the bottom two. Not when Daniel, Owen and Ruth are still hanging about. There has to have been something wrong with the phone lines. Did anyone else have problems with voting?

Diana - could have moved a bit more. Daniel - his best performance hence being kept in. Eoghan - is it only me who thinks he can't sing... I know he is only 16 but the judges need to tell him where he is going wrong.

mercedess11200101/11/2008 22:51:11

Pants!!! no way should Austin have gone, Rachel cruzified her last song!!! Its almost like she is proud to have 3 of her kids in care, what sort of world are we bringing our next generation into!!!!!

gaia01/11/2008 22:32:26

Fix! Something went wrong tonight. Explanation please?

aaronandmike01/11/2008 22:06:59

I think Rachel Daniel Austin and Eoghan will struggle to get through to next week.

aaronandmike01/11/2008 22:05:40

Diana was amazing again. I thoght she would mess up big band. She nailed it. I definately thought she would mess up disco. Again she nailed it. Alexandra Ruth and Laura were all amazing too. 1st Diana 2nd Alexandra 3rd Laura 4th Ruth 5th JLS 6th Rachel 7th Austin 8th Daniel 9th Eoghan Anybody agree?
