I cannot understand how missing notes and going off key can be described as "original".

The girl simply cannot sing.

Hats off to Eowok. He knows what he's doing. The crying game?

I think what depresses me about Eowok is that he is so totally lacking in charisma. He tries, but has all the rhythm of a potato.

And the awful thing is - with a slower build up learning and some good (out of the spotlight) training, he could be OK. But reality TV won't allow that and, if he was a few years younger, that would be child abuse.

Incidentally, I thought his younger rival in the pre choice selection was far better with a much stronger voice.

Great line from Jim Shelley in the Mirror - Eowok's performance of Year 3000 "made the Jonas Brothers look like the Ramones".

Interesting comment made in a discussion about the Christmas Number One on Radio 4 this morning. I didn't catch the guy's name but he is apparently in "The Industry". He said how this years Number One will be Simon Cowell and some 14 year old Irish kid singing Hallelujah. The way he said it sounded so matter of fact, but it could have been speculation.

I guess we'll soon know.

Brough back memories of when someone let slip about Leona Lewis being the X Factor winner before the final had been held.

it'll be speculation passed off as fact - the bane of modern media and the people they ask to "commentate".

No doubt based on the Daily Star story that had Eggnog ahead in the votes on numerous weeks.

She was really good up until she had that week off... Louie knew she could win so he played on her insecurities by putting her down about her voice each week and i felt since then she was trying to hard and it just made her sound horrible... I think she could easily be a star but if she doasn't realise what sounds great and what don't then she ain't ready yet so it's best she got voted out for now...
