Grr.

I was developing a small amount of faith in the Great British Public, so far as reality TV shows went.

Then the MORONS went and made Anthony cry.

How anyone can vote for the MacDonald (snore) Brothers or Ray the One Trick Pony instead of Eton Road and the vision of eyelinered 17 year old prettiness that is Anthony is beyond me. The final 3 should have been Leona, Ben & Eton Road.

Tone deaf, tasteless, wastes of oxygen.

(Though Ben did possibly the best cover of Live & Let Die I've ever heard. Wings' was ok; Guns 'n' Roses was fun, but Ben's was for a Bond who really is more than happy to beat someone to a pulp with his bare fists. And he plays piano like a god. I'm expecting Leona to win, but I'd go to see Ben live.)

100% with you. Why won't the MacDonalds just go crawl into a dark, damp, dank hole and never ever return? Why must they stay and The Anthony must go? Cruel world. Actually, I'm going to blame Louis for saying he was going to manage them and get them a deal - why vote for an act that has representation and is likely to get a deal?

Ben was always my favourite - I blogged about him straight after his audition, but he bores me now. Conversely, I didn't like Leona, but to be fair she is the most vocally talented in the competition.

Yup. I think Leona will win because of her voice & she's a pop singer. Ben is fantastic and more my sort of thing, but will appeal more to middle aged Dire Straits fans than to X Factor voters.

I'll have to keep my eyes on the Apollo; Journey South played there a couple of months ago, despite only coming third last year :)

*raises hand and jumps up and down* oooh oooh, if they do, lemme know! I'd sooooooo want to go!
