I'm on my last tether with this.

 

 

JASON AND SHIANE never being bottom 2, and yet Samantha there twice and Bella this week!?! The Collective are walking this :'(

 

It is obviously been "fixed" for The Collective to win, they have said they want a boyband to win from the first audition (hence no girlbands in the final), they get so much more production for their songs than all the other acts combined. Samantha Jade is also someone they seem to favour despite Australia not really buying into her (not sure why either). I am not really sure who I want to win, I don't really like Bella, she is really dull, Jason would be more suited on The Voice, he doesn't have an X Factor look. Nathaniel I just don't like. Which I guess leaves me with Shiane. I think I final 3 of Sammy, The Collective and Shiane would be great. The Collective have some fit members afterall.

The Collective are indeed actually quite good, but it's the blatant favoritism that gets me. It's not even subtle or anything, like 'oh the producers might be bigging them up', it's really just totally there in your face, which is ridiculous. They're not THAT good, they're being hailed as some musical second coming and getting so much more than everyone else as Martyn said.

 

I also don't get the online hate for Shiane, I've seen a LOT of comments saying she's not a good singer (WHAT?) and that she is booting out good singers for her 'undeserved' spot. She's no Angel Tupai granted but my god for 14 years old she's incredible! I'd quite like a final 3 of Bella, Shiane and either Samantha or The Collective, but as I said above the blatant favourtism puts me off them but they're so walking this, it's been obvious from week 1 which has really hindered my enjoyment this series.

 

Nathaniel and Jason are just so bleh. Especially Jason, I can appreciate Nathaniel has talent and a bit of that 'X-Factor' but there's something I really don't like about him to be honest, he shouldn't have got this far really.

The judging panel seem SO thick when it comes to Bella. Like I don't think any of them get her and it's annoying. Her performance of 'What Makes You Beautiful' is one of my fave X Factor performances ever.

I really didn't like it, I mean who turns an upbeat track into a ballad on disco/club/party/whatever week?

That's why I liked it! I mean if she had come out and did a song in an arrangement that she didn't believe in or like, then she would be compromising herself. I like that she's an artist, and she did the theme, but she did it in her own way. She clearly isn't an uptempo artist.

My biggest gripe with her is, she thinks she is so much better than she actually is.

Like, every chosen one that would be ill-suited to an uptempo ever? James Arthur did it just this past week on XF UK.

I didnt approve of that either.

Apparently Bella has decided she'd rather not carry on and is asking her fans not to vote for her :/ If you're that uncomfortable you can quit, but she shouldn't waste an opportunity like this, with a talent like hers!

'Okay, enough of these messages, although I understand why you’re confused. Last night, I was consumed in mean, cruel, and disgusting comments thrown at me because I wasn’t eliminated. I was seriously questioning my wanting to be amidst all this negativity, as I didn’t audition to become surrounded by hurtful words, and I questioned whether people would not vote if I ever seriously decided that enough was enough.'

 

'I NEVER ASKED ANYONE TO NOT VOTE, JUST AS I WOULD NEVER ASK ANYONE TO VOTE. I will never let the bullies win. I am here to stay for as long as my supporters want me - whether that means I’m gone next week, or I make it to the finals. My words have been completely taken out of context, as always, and the whole story has been heavily dramatised.'

You tell 'em girl! :drink:

 

Bella SO deserves to last longer than Shiane at least. Though to be fair neither seem to be able to handle the pressure at all.

This week's results, I watched live online because I didn't have school :lol:

 

 

Another week, another ridiculous bottom 2...

 

Nathaniel vs. Samantha, Nathaniel went. I wasn't a fan of Nathaniel's but Samantha bottom 2 again after THAT performance is ridiculous! Nathaniel was actually very good too this week, as were Bella and Shiane. I actually found The Collective much weaker than usual (as did the judges it seemed) and thought they should've been bottom 2 along with Jason, but as if that was happening! I just hope Bella can somehow win, I don't mind The Collective but I haven't seen such an obvious winner and such obvious favoritism in a reality show in absolutely ages!

 

Australia clearly don't get

Samantha

I really think

Guy only took it to deadlock in the hope of getting rid of her, without having to vote out his friend.

They will be gone next week anyway, as I think that is when it just goes on the public vote.

 

I really hope Bella goes soon, she just looks so f***ing miserable all the time. Give her a reason to be!

 

I don't really know who I want to win, I only really want the collective to win, as there is several of them I want to let them do sexual things to me.

Bella was amazing this week! Her best since auditions at least, maybe even better than that!

Trust Ronan to pick a song he has covered for his challenge song.

 

However I do love the theme for this week, with the judges picking songs for other judges contestants, hope the UK version does this.

It is a really cool theme idea, but I think it would be meaningless on the UK version since it's so completely producer-driven.

Shock bottom 2 this week.

Ooh, maybe

The Collective won't walk this after all, after being Bottom 2 this week!

I've got a horrible feeling Shiane's votes might transfer to Jason and propel him to victory... Probably me being pessimistic though, I still think The Collecive have it although them being bottom 2 has made it less runaway obvious, I guess Bella has a chance now. Apparently Bella was 3rd this week though and I can't see Samantha topping the vote so maybe Jason did... I can imagine it's very close though and perhaps different people topped the votes each week rather than a runaway winner.

Surely Samantha will be out next week? I mean I love her, but she's been in the bottom 2 three times so surely won't make the final. Really no idea who will win, Jason is now the only one not been in the bottom 2... I hope it isn't Bella though she is hateful.
