    Yeah that's was leaked to the papers during the week.

    Can's see JLS or Eoghan pulling it off...only Alexandra.


    ya thats true! But I totally love that song so no matter who releases it, to me it isnt gonna be good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,831 ✭✭✭✭keane2097


    Covering that song has been utterly pointless ever since Jeff Buckley did it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,005 ✭✭✭Ann22


    I assume that's the 'Hallelujah' out of 'Shrek'?

    Guys, you seriously CANNOT call Eoghan a bollocks. What has he done wrong? Did he ring all of you and call you dickheads? No, I thought not. He sang and people voted for him. Diana's time was up, so she didn't get votes. It's simple.

    He cried, so what? You think he's crap because he cried when he got through to the final? Have you been watching the result shows this year at all? They all cry when they get through and they all cry when their friends get voted off. Don't single him out because your favorite lost to him. It's not fair.

    And surely you can give the guy a break. He is not be the best singer in the competition, but people are voting for him.

    All these replies about people hating him because Diana got voted off are LOLsome. Grow up.

    Err, it's nothing to do with that, anyone getting voted off instead of him is a joke, he's rubbish, absolutely rubbish, he sings awful songs like that High School Musical stuff, I just don't get how he's still in the competition ahead of acts like Diana and Ruth. Yes people are voting for him, which is baffling, and shows how stupid the public are I guess.

    Yes, but that's a piss poor version.

    Look up Jeff Buckley doing it on youtube - it's unbelievable.

    That's fair enough. But some replies here aren't as civilized as yours. People are bashing him for being voted through. It's unfair that he takes the brunt of the abuse for people voting him to the final. If people want to throw a wobbler, throw one at the public who voted for him.

    The winner of this event has already been decided. JLS (or something like that) win.

    You'll come back to this post when the event is over and wonder...is it actually rigged?!

    ;)

    Did she look like she liked it?

    Cos if she did...

    /shakes fist at Eoghan menacingly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 792 ✭✭✭KombuchaMshroom


    :( no more diana :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,005 ✭✭✭Ann22


    I can't see Diana and Eoghan together in a million years. What age is she anyway? I'd say she'd have her cap set at a much more mature dude.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 792 ✭✭✭KombuchaMshroom


    she is only like a year older than him i think.

    She's 17...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 243 ✭✭OrangeDaisy


    I think he's 16 and she's 17 so not that much between them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 130 ✭✭Messed Up Mind


    So who's FTW next week then?

    I'm gonna say JLS. Anyone see this http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/xfactor/a137717/x-factors-jls-get-jacko-tour-offer.html?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,835 ✭✭✭unreggd


    Ugh, I hate the way the judges are always like "so and so was great..... but my act was the best"

    I really hope the categories arent assigned a mentor next year

    Sucks that Alexandra will most likely be the next to go

    Its been officially a popularity contest for week, and I think Eoghan has the bigger demographic, and JLS are a boyband, nuff said!

    Think Alexandra's version of Hallelujah will be the best

    She's the only one that puts emotion into her performances

    see wha happens!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 243 ✭✭OrangeDaisy


    really hope alexandra wins.....otherwise it's a joke
    I'd say Eoghan 3rd, Jls 2nd and Alex the winner


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭xOxSinéadxOx


    FINALLY DIANA IS GONE! YAY YAY YAY! I am delighted :D

    she's a really bad singer and she can't even speak properly! thought JLS were good tonight, eoghan was well eoghan, don't really like him. ALEX FTW! and eoghan crying at the end and running out to hug diana in the middle of her song was highly enjoyable :D

    hope next week is a good show - i still like alexander to win but i think jls have a chance now after their performance tonight. eoghan will have the northern ireland vote but i just can't picture what kind of songs he would release if he won


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,220 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    Yes the Claw is gone Thank God for the British Public seeing sense this week. I thought Alex was top notch again tonight and JLS pulled it out of the bag tonight, Eoghan had a week night tonight, he was in bits when his girlfriend was knowed out, don't think he was supposed to run out while Diana was singing. Good show overall.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 littleking


    hi,im totally new to this so could someone tell me what does FTW mean?
    Thanks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,737 ✭✭✭BroomBurner


    Not sure, thought it might be "for the win", someone correct me though if I'm wrong.

    JLS to win!!! They were by far the best of ALL the performers tonight.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    JLS to win!!! They were by far the best of ALL the performers tonight.

    One decent performance after weeks of pure mediocrity shouldn't get them the win.

    It should be about some level of consistency and also growth as a singer. Alexandra and Ruth definitely provided that.

    Alexandra deserves it more than anyone thats been on that stage.

    For The Win

    and more ye might not know

    IIRC = If I Recall Correctly
    AFAIK = As Far As I Know
    IMO = In My Opinion
    GTFO = Get The Fook Out


    Yeah, Alexandra deserves it the most, in relation to her talent, humbleness, performances, and family situation

    IMO, Alex and Ruth were the only ones who could show through the emotion of their songs, and they were consistently good

    I agree, good on the night is nonsense

    Ruth was the only real dark horse of the comp, as her first song was so soft, then she pulled it out of the bag and unleashed Purple Rain, she's amazing!

    I cant wait to see her at the tour, ill be so close she better spit on me! hahahahahaha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭SarcasticFairy


    What was with Louis saying the contestants full names before commenting on their performances? Instead of saying Diana, Eoghan or Alexandra, he kept saying stuff like Diana Vickers that was a great performance [.. you'll definately be in the final ;)]. So weird.

    I thought Diana was really good tonight. Couldn't believe how bad Alex was in comparison to previous weeks! JLS can't win, samers for Eoghan. Ughh blahhh. Stupid show. Alex is the only one left that should win, but I just can't seem to warm to her at all, I don't know what it is!

    Never knew what IIRC meant! Thanks! Could figure out the others but this one made no sense!

    Ah I'm so excited about the tour! See you there! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 29,467 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    God I'm glad she's finally gone! :D Alex FTW

    We were watching it last night and my gf commented that Diana seemed a little too "animated" during her first song (ie: possibly on something). I don't think so myself, but she did seem to be behaving a bit out of character...
