    “Louis is genuinely upset because he doesn’t want people to think he is a bully It’s the last thing he is" blah blah blah.......

    Yes Sharon, he's not a bully. He's just been from the start of the season making botox jibes, dismissing her ability as a judge, making baseless accusations about stealing songs and humiliating her by insulting her own vocal abilities. Yes Sharon, he's not a bully. **** off.

    Louis Walsh actually praised Danni inan interview not so long ago. He praised her ability as a judge and said how nice a person she was. In fact, he was sticking up for her around the time all those rumours were flying around that Danni was being horrible to Tcherill.

    I thought Danni was a great judge last year

    and she was good last week as her breakdown made her a little more serious

    She was like that last year, but this year she annoyed me cos she was always trying to make everythin she said sound quirky and cool

    Real Danni ftw!

    And Louis, please just fook off!


    Song choices:

    Alexandra - Toxic
    Ruth - I Love Rock n Roll [:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D]
    Diana - I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman [:rolleyes:]
    JLS - Baby one more time
    Ewok - Sometimes

    Are these confirmed song choices, or just your guesses?
    If they are the real song choices, then Ewok got the short straw. It's just such a boring song.

    Alexandra should have no problem pulling off Toxic.

    Diana surely can't be any worse than last week - choosing her own song for the second performance will definiely give her a confidence boost.

    Ruth will hopefully do a great job, but not guarantees - she's the best singer imo but she's not as consistent as Alex. Like Diana, choosing her own song will be a huge advantage.

    JLS - I reallly don't care. Hopefully they'll be booted off.

    Ya, other than JLS they have been confirmed. I think Ruth will nail I Love Rock'N'Roll, but I'm fully expecting the Irish cretin to lead an assault on Ruth for singing it "because it's not really a Britney song".:rolleyes:

    Oh and Always is being hotly tipped as Ruths American song. A hint released by her website says it's a 1994 hit that didn't reach No.1 in the UK or the US.

    Spot on, they'll take any chance to discredit each other and that's why I'm worried about Ruth sing I Love Rock'N'Roll.

    I was about to say what???? But then I realised you were being realistic, Diana is basically guaranteed the final so who cares if she gets the last spot. I think if Ruth has a chance of trumping anyone tomorrow it's JLS so it's paramount that they are not last to perform.

    Oh and I'm a member of Team Lorenzo on DS.:D I just can't help it, I've never been inclined to vote in reality TV until Ruth came along, it's just typical that I can't vote when I finally decide to vote.:mad::(

    I thought it sounded much better than I expected; I was worried about her not getting the diction right in the lower places of the song but she did fine.

    JLS slated and we can't underestimate the influence the judges have over the public. They are in trouble if the second song doesn't bring the house down/

    I don't think she nailed the vocal in some areas and it sounded very shakey. However, take nothing away from that choreography and Alexandra finally looked like she was enjoying herself up there. Which is what people have been asking of her from weeks rather then 100% concentrating on nailing the vocal.

    She's safe, but it was probably her worst performence vocally imo.

    I think the song was just a bit too high for her. She still sounded great but she definitely has a much stronger and deeper voice than that song requires. I mean, it is Britney after all :)

    As an over all performance I think she absolutely nailed it.
