Go listen to both and tell me who puts more emotion into it.

Daniel = Shíte

Aw jeez. He's such a class act that I have to put my usual cynical self to bed. I hope he gets some sort of success.

Even if they put her put for vote last week without singing, Diana would have gotten through

Because she's brilliant and was genuinely unable to sing last week. Some people have hearts, ya know.

ya,but Ruth sang one week when she was sick.and sounded good

Yes but its showed the doctor actually telling Diana she would permanently damage her voice if she sang in the state she was in, granted, Ruth was sick and still sang, but she wasn't nearly as sick as Diana was.
Really don't understand why Diana is getting so much stick off people here. Guess you just love her or hate her

I think its safe to assume the poster got confused and posted here instead of starting a new thread. Maybe we should get back on-toic and a mod will probably split off the posts.


Aaaaanywaaaay, I definitely find Diana more and more contrived each week. It's just getting boring.

Rachel needs to go soon. All she can do is Amy-Winehouse-a-like and thats really not going to get her too far (I hope). The last few weeks she's been awful...last week being particularly bad.

Eoghan grates on my last nerve! He does not have a good voice. He's been píss poor the last few weeks and the judges just praise him, it sickens me.

JLS are boring, ditto for Ruth.

I still think Alexandra has the real talent there and I genuinely hope she wins.

I missed Daniel and Rachel's "sing-off" performances because my mother rang and insisted on talking on the phone for ages! But tonight was the first time I watched a full show (I usually just watch the performances on youtube afterwards) and my verdict:

Daniel - He actually sang ok, but it's 2008, not 1968!

Alexandra - She has the personality of a brick, but she does have a very good voice. I really liked her performance.

JLS - An absolute abomination. John Lennon must be turning in his grave (that's the second time I've posted that sentence on Boards today! :pac:) And George Harrison too. Medleys are always crap and gimmicky - and when Louis Walsh is involved, doubly so. No-one should EVER take on "Twist & Shout" unless they have a really strong voice, which no-one from JLS has. I was hoping they'd be in the bottom 2.

Rachel - She sang really well and didn't deserve to be in the bottom 2 tonight.

Eoghan - Always thought he was a weak singer, but in fairness he was very good tonight. I hope he doesn't win though, because there are better singers there.

Diana - I was never a big fan of hers. She can sing, but her voice annoys me a bit. I can't fairly comment on her though because I absolutely hate "Yellow" it's a terrible, awful song. At least she's a much better singer than Chris Martin (which isn't hard, in fairness)

Ruth - Probably her weakest performance so far, but I think it was more the song choice than her that was to blame. I still hope she wins.

So Daniel definitely deserved to go, he's been getting away with murder for ages now. If it was up to me, JLS would go next week, followed by Eoghan, Diana and Rachel, leaving Alex and Ruth in the final.
Realistically though, the final 2 will probably be Diana and either Alex or Eoghan.
