It was movies week on The X Factor, and the contestants got to enjoy a movie during the week when they walked the red carpet at the premiere of A Christmas Carol. John & Edward divided opinion with "Ghostbusters" on Saturday while Jamie Archer received praised for showing his emotional side in "Crying". Lloyd Daniels may have survived being in the bottom two last week, but he was told he's out of his depth by the other judges after his rendition of "Stand By Me". The Black Eyed Peas and Leona Lewis performed on Sunday's show, and Lucie Jones and John & Edward were then told they were the bottom two in the public vote.
This was the first time either act had been in the bottom two, and naturally Dannii and Louis voted to save their own acts. Cheryl voted to save Lucie, but in a surprising twist, Simon voted to save John & Edward taking it to deadlock, saying that neither act could win so he wanted to leave it up to the public. Lucie started crying even before Dermot announced she was the act with the fewest public votes. What do you think — did she deserve to leave the competition?

No, she didn't deserve to leave at all. I think she's awesome. And it's upsetting to see this show become more about a competition between the judges than about finding the best singer. Simon has said time and time again how much he dislikes the twins voices. He had a chance to vote them off, but didn't take a stand. I think it's because he wanted to rule out Lucie because he knows John and Edward won't win and it's less competition for his acts. Sad!!
1I dont watch this but couldnt avoid the media coverage, and THIS story is exactly why I dont watch this farcical programme. JamieUK, I totally agree with you. From what I've heard Lucie can sing, and can sing bloody well, those twins on the other hand, certainly cannot, and are just a joke. Simon let it go to the public vote because he knew they would get through, because he knows that John and Edward are probably responsible for the high ratings of this show, and that equals more money in Mr Simon Cowells pockets. I used to like the man, but this is just ridiculous. I feel so so sorry for Lucie because she is genuinely talented, and Simon has totally screwed her over.
2What a joke.
3I totally agree with everyone. It’s so sad…poor Lucie…she shouldn’t have lost to John & Edward. She is a lot more talented…I thought this was a singing competition!
