The X Factor: Rachel's out

Rachel Adedji loses out to Lloyd Daniels in another surprise sing-off...

Sunday, 1 November 2009

I should know by now. I shouldn't be shocked. But damn it, another X Factor result that I just don't agree with. Rachel should have stayed.

She has one of the best voices in the competition and I don't get why people didn't vote for her. I think her personality had come through and it made me a bit sad.

I did feel sorry for Lloyd for losing his voice, but I think his is generally one of the weakest in the competition. Even if he was singing at his best, Rachel would still have blown him off the stage.

Rachel was also one of the best at moving around the stage and I thought her look was evolving nicely. I think they'd finally worked out that her voice suited a more indie music sound and she was working so hard. Shame on you all.

Meanwhile, Lloyd is pretty. And there the story ends. He is the blonde boyband member and I'm sure he'd be a hit at that. He's not appalling, but he's had bad song choices and his voice never amazes me.

I get why Simon took it to deadlock as it was unfair that Lloyd was losing his voice, but surely he's the one who always claims the decision has to be made on just the final performance.

Obviously it was based on the fact she'd been in the bottom two twice before. Also I have a sneaking suspicion that's it's the final eight who make it on the tour and having Lloyd there wouldn't exactly do ticket sales amongst young girls any harm.

I get the public vote is fair, but I think Simon should have made a decision. Hmmm.

Don't even get me started on the fact that Jedward weren't in the bottom two, but I am glad that Danyl pulled through and I hope he comes back fighting next week.

Olly is still my firm favourite. Although I wasn't sure at the time I now think he did the right thing by flashing that hairy chest of his. My dear friend Deby nearly passed out with joy and surely she can't be alone? I didn't know a nipple could do that to a person!

Dannii vs Cheryl: Cheryl pulled it back tonight with some sparkly leggings, but Dannii's dress was still better. With the botox gone she's looking better too and was genuinely upset at Rachel's departure. Oh yeah, and Dannii made a good joke about Simon's hair last night. Without a doubt Dannii wins!

I think it was very weak of Simon - its a pointless exercise if he does not have the courage to make an easy decision like that. Rachel was wonderful - I'd buy her album!

I totally agree, Rachel was amazing and I enjoyed her results show performance more than any other, except perhaps Proud Mary.... And Danni is awesome.

Jedward are the best thing in the show, by a mile. The rest is mediocre karaoke. They at least bring wit, humour, insanity to what is a very mundane line up. Yes, Rachel was the best of the bunch vocal wise, but Danyl is so completely overrated. Jedward are stars, truly the only people there with star quality, I'm aware of their vocal limitations, but when has that been an impediment to success in pop?

No Wayy! Lloyd ALL the way. He's the best. Yes he has had 'some' bad song choices and im an obsessive fan of his but it was upsetting when he lost his voice. But rachel deserved to be out becasue to be hinest, she was ALWAYS in the bottom two. So it was obvious that the public didnt like her 'that' much! plus if Llyod was out the viewings off x factor would go down loads by lots of teen age girls loosing thier amazing singer. there is already trouble going on at the house with girls flashing for jedward and them basically doing it back. :L but just imagine how much riot there will be if Lloyd went out.!? Loads. no one seemed to care that rachel has gone out to be honest.
