RE: X Factor in 'phone scandal' outrage
Too right!
Laura was by far better than Rachel and Daniel,infact her and Alexandra are the only too worth being on there! Ruth's damb good at rock songs too but i dont think she will sell the records as much as Laura and Alexandra.
Louis voted off Laura because she is far better than JLS,of cause he was going to vote her off when he got the chance,your not telling me if Louis had all the best acts Cheryl wouldn't do the same!
Its not about the act's its about the judges,they just want to win wheather their acts good or not,they couldn't give a toss about the act's,its just so bloody false!
Cheryl's mad because Laura was good and didn't deserve to go,she'd have been the same if she was mentoring Daniel and he'd gone!
God knows why Rachel's still in there,maybe she's got all the criminals voteing for her,she was awful on saturday,i used to like her but now she just gets on my nerves,she's gone all doey eyed and put the 'feeling sorry for myself act on' and she is so arrogant!
Laura deffinatly didn't deserve to go,but somehow i think the voting public went against her because her boyfriend is a excecitive of the show!
And alot of people will be thinking she got on the show because of him,like the saying 'its not what you know but who you know'!
Wheather she's with him or not,she is a brilliant singer and didn't deserve to go!
But,if she was to come back surely all the others that have gone will be fuming!
The judges are always going to be at each others throats,its what makes good viewing,and they might make out on tv that they care for their acts,but at the end of the day all they care about is the big fat cheque at the end of it!

Somehow i dont think ITV will allow her back,unless there is proof that it was rigged,it would just go against the whole point of viewers voting in the first place,and people who voted for the others to stay will be complaing to ofcom or whoever it is that people phone up for a moan!
Its not right that she went,but other people will have voted for the others to stay wheather they were crap or not.
If its proved it wasn't rigged then it just goes to show the people who voted for Daniel and Rachel are sympathy voters and deaf!
And as for the house of commons getting involved!!!!! Haven't they got a country to run and sort out before they get involved with tv shows!
Good god,scarey to think our country is being run by people more interested in realality shows than whats going on in the real world!

Ruth rocks! She totally outsang Laura on Saturday and deserved to be saved. This is a competition and somebody must go every week. It happened to be Laura's turn. Personally I found Laura boring. She started out in week 1 on a real high and peaked too soon. I'm glad the judges had the balls to vote the way they did instead of bowing to public pressure. Now get a life or stop watching.

RE: X Factor in 'phone scandal' outrage
I just think this country loves a good sob story. I don't think X Factor should let any of the acts purposefully bring their personal lives into the show. It should be about the singing, not how hard a life they've had.
I don't think ITV would reinstate Laura but there is no question she will get a recording contract so she'll be ok, although that's not the point.
My personal fave is Alexandra, i think she's got the full package. But if things carry on the way they have been, we could be left with a final consisting of Daniel, Rachel and Eoghan. Whoopy doo(!) People need to think about whether they would actually go and buy the music that Daniel, Rachel & co would release before they vote for them. Remember Michelle McManus??? She got sympathy votes to win then no one bought her album and she got dropped!! I can see the same thing happening here.
Oh yeah, and Laura isn't going out with an X Factor exec. He works for a separate company which helps sort out the audiences for the show. As usual, the papers didn't let the truth get in the way of a good story!!

RE: X Factor in 'phone scandal' outrage
I wouldn't say Ruth outsang Laura and she def was not boring!! Both of their performances were outstanding! But they both have fantastic voices and theres no way they should have been in the bottom two. I do think its ridiculous that the house of commons got involved!! It was a bad decission but not bad enough to be spoken about in there!! Shocking!! Apparently though, if Louis hadn't have voted and it would have gone to the numbers of voters, Ruth would have gone cos she got less votes. Why would you favour Rachel and Daniel over Ruth and Laura?!! Simon and Louis moan about Daniel but they chose to keep him over Scott-who was a lot better than him!!

Laura is a sweet girl but it would be senseless to get her back as that will mean the oganisers are not sticking to the rules, she has future anyway. Sometimes even the best lose so I think fans should jus let go.
