Poor Philip

The latest casualty for the chop on X-Factor on Saturday night was of course poor wee Phillip from Northern Ireland. Axed for CHICO!!! CHICO??? Now surely that was a ridiculous situation. I realy thought Philip was fantastic on Saturday night and Chico on the other hand was poor. Why does he sing with a mexican accent yet speak with a fairly flawless english accent??? Does he suffer from a rare form of NICAS affecting Italians??

Also Simon PROMISED he would judge "Based on performance" and then on announcing his decision said he was judging it "Purely on what I think the public wants me to do" - This man needs taken out. I know there are loads of people out there who think that the man is always right - HE ISN'T!!! He is a supercilious nit wit who dances between public opinion and his own half baked views. I mean come on - the Conway sisters should be a gift of a group and in my opinion he hasn't picked a correct song for them yet!! Total Eclipse of the Heart??? A solo Bonnie Tyler song for a four piece group?? Also dispense with all this Trad Irish crap Simon - it's all been done to death - it's was great while it lasted but it's over now. The Corrs last album (Trad Irish)flopped miserably and even the mighty Westlife seem to be on the wane.

It was obvious that Sharon had given so much more thought to her songs this week. Andy had learned from Simon's "honest remarks" in week two and gave another inspiring performance. And Brenda has also become a superb singer. Chico.... well that's another story. Oh and did anyone else think Kate Thornton looked like a Giant Quality Street in that outfit?

As for Louis, his introductions are just getting worse and worse. It seemed to me that every act had "got it" when being introduced by Louis. I'm waiting for him to tell us some week that one of his acts has "forgotten it"... I'm starting to look forward to Louis turning to camera - it's one of the most unnerving aspects of this show...

Anyway the votes have now been cleared down again and you can vote again based on this weeks performances.. Off you go...

Just to remind you - here's what they sang this week...

Phillip: Johhny B Goode - Chuck Berry
Brenda: Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight & The Pips
Shayne: Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
Chico: Living La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin

Chenai: Hero - Mariah Carey
