Drew was cut because she was She was a good singer, but she was a dull performer. With a little work, she will be great.

She made her take on Michael Jackson sound like a funeral song. I won't miss her.

Nicole first big mistake was keeping Dexter because he never listened to any of them about being himself. Stacy could sing but I think was in her own denial about what direction she should go and it was clear neither did Nicole. Then you have Leroy with all that sexiness at 60 sounding and looking great with NO stage presence, no upbeat performance and he was warned several times by Simon. then finally Josh who I believe HAD a good chance of pulling off the win. He does channel the Joe Cocker vibe in just about everything and you can see he's trying to loosen up....however I'm not sure if the general public is ready for that type of sound by a solo act.

I watched this year because of Rachel, Leroy, Astro and Stacy. Rachel and Astro IMO had the X Factor...they had the ability to rise to the occasion and had very solid performances. Stacy and Leroy was interesting to me because Stacy could really sing when she didn't reach too far and Leroy I "thought" would have shown more of a diversity in song choice, but it just didn't happen. Plus Leroy was the eye candy for me to watch that man is SEXY!

The Final Four Melanie Josh Chris and Marcus....I would have NEVER thought the line up would look like that. I'm truly done now with watching like Dancing with the Stars....I should have learned my lesson then.

Astro is better than Chris Rene, but y'all know why they picked Chris.

Who is they ? Enlighten us and tell us why . They both suck , besides it wasn't a choice between astro n chris . Also if your race card theory is correct why was drew cut ?

What? I didn't say it was because he's white

Shit. Ready For The World still perform to sold out concerts in Europe, but would you pay to see that show?

I wouldn't pay to see a lot of people, but evidently somebody is. I see tours made up of lineups that include one hit wonders, so go figure.

No band or artist is depending solely on me to either make or break their careers, I'm not trying to fool myself or anyone else about that. I guess what I'm asking is when was the last time you heard about "The Pussycat Dolls" before The X Factor? When was the last time Nicole hit a stage or studio before this show?

Okay, true. Maybe she will take the Paula route and stick to being a talent show judge.

I really don't like any of the ones left on this show. Usually American Idol has much better contestants than the UK shows but this year I preferred our X Factor with Lottle Mix and Amelia as finalists. Even Misha was better than any of the US finalists and she came 4th. Also Steve Jones is a terrible terrible presenter. He only got the job because he's good looking.

I thought Rachel was a spoiled brat. Ever since that first audition it was a totally fake personality put on purely for the public.

My issues with these type of shows varies from a lot of aspects from the judges, songs sung and right down 2 the voting.

i've always had a problem with paula abdul being a judge for the simple fact of her own career where she was suspected of not really singing some of her songs to also her being best known as a kick ass choreographer. And when these performers sing u can see her acting like a fool up there. sit yo ass down! lol . then wehn ellen degeneress was a judge on AI, WTF?!! now there is nicole another why the fuck are u a judge moment. their job is 2 vote and critique these performers and when they can't do it like how Jlo had her mental breakdown on AI, then it's time 2 step off from being a judge IMO. I haven't watched the voice but i would trust their opinons more than any judge simon comes up with.

the songs sung by every show thus far cracks me up. how many times have we heard simon say the contestant sings the song like they are at a bar? okay maybe it's because EVERY contestant with the exception of a slight few contantstly sings songs that have been previously done. now u can distinguish who has a voice but it's hard 2 assertain who can be a star singing someone elses material. In the years since AI first came along the true sucess stories have been kelly clarkson, jennifer hudson, daughtery, Clay and Fantasia. Damn william hung was more famous then those that have won lol. When I watch these shows and performers I base it on their voices, not looks, but i understand that's part of the game. I think its great that if they can play a instrument they are allowed 2 do so kudos on that. When these performers do perform it's like a sound byte and not a full length song in the model of amazon and itune clips.

now comes the voting if u really belive the results. I do belive it's a setup in some cases like what happend on X factor. my own view on the x factor tho is one confused. the age bracket is great however i feel things should be broken up to age brackets, groups, solo performers. it might seem a bit star search in that regard but i think it would work out better.

With her last non-decision I would hope not.

Rachel has star quality. Something in her attitude and eyes just screams "Janet Jackson 1987". Marcus along with nearly all of the contestants, are horrible

She just got boo'ed.

Rachel reminded me of a little Etta James.

Y dont u tell us WHY , jack-o fan ?

1) You have anger management issues

2) Because of Astro's stunt and because Chris sings more
