oooh Mary and Cher in the showdown...

[craft1948]

Go Mary....

[237SJ]

Am I the only person that thinks Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole fancy each other?

[LoftyLottie]

Have to agree Cher could become massive, but she can sing in tune and that is where it ends. Millions of people can sing in tune. Cher would become massive because she will become part of the big publicity machine, same as Cheryl, not because she is particularly talented. She is young enough to be moulded. She simply isn't talented at all in my opinion.

Mary has a good voice, but nothing out of the ordinary - as someone has said earlier she is suitable for cruise ships.

[LoftyLottie]

In other words, I think it was right that both of them were bottom of the vote tonight.

I only have eyes for Matt, but Rebecca is amazing.

If I were to vote-it would be for Rebecca. The boys are OK....but she gives me goosebumps.

[LoftyLottie]

I have never voted pasta - except for once many years ago for Will Young!! Who I still like and has made good in many areas now because of his talent.

Rebecca just has to get rid of that dreadful accent when she talks. She looks so classy, sings so classily and the voice just spoils it for me. Gosh, aren't I a snob!!!!

In answer to 737SJ, I also think that something is going on between Cowell and Cole! They always seem to have their heads locked together, plotting one thing or another. Cher should definitely have gone tonight and Simon should have taken it to deadlock (where she would have lost the peoples vote!) but he had to follow Cheryl.....again! Cher was annoyed when Danni told her should should have sang a ballad for a change, replying she doesn't want to change the way she is! Therefore, why did she sing a ballad type song, with accompanied tears, for her sing off. The whole thing is a set up. Play it straight for once Simon!!

I for one am glad Mary's gone. Cher so deserves to be in the final, she's got a lovely voice and is totally unique, but Matt will win.

sag- Simon has loved Cher right from the start.

Tizzi24................Only because Cheryl did!!!

Yet another fix, its only for under 14 year olds.

Matt should have gone ages ago,singers like him are 10 a Penny. The whole Show is a set-up and a an insult to normal peoples intelligence.
