For any of the fans who were wondering if 4Tune get to read all your comments about them, you will be really pleased to know that the 4Tune boys posted on this site earlier today, thanking their xfactorblog fans for all the comments and support you have shown them . This is what they had to say:

“Hi everyone. Its Phil, Mike, Simon and Ant here…just in case Simon Cowell is reading this!!!

Just wanted to say a quick thank-you for all the support that everyone has given us on this forum. Last Saturday was hard to take and we were clearly devastated but hey, what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger!

We have made our views on Louis and his tactics clear and we felt this year was based less around talent and more about the judges egos . But hopefully with hard work and determination we will be able to prove Louis wrong!

We are currently looking at our options and for the record will NOT be splitting up. Hopefully next year will see the launch of our first album and we will be continuing to tour nation wide….

Look forward to seeing u all on the x factor tour. Check out the website at www.4tuneworld.co.uk for clips of the forthcoming album and appearance dates.

Thanks again for all the support, all of the kind messages and thoughts are much appreciated.

Lots of Love

Phil, Mike, Simon and Ant

Phillip, who was the first act up tonight singing a rocking number chosen by himself “Jonny Be Good”, has been voted out of the X Factor, with the deciding vote being cast by Simon Cowell. Phillip said he had great fun on the stage tonight and for the first time he really enjoyed himself.

Described as “a right little rocker” by Sharon, Simon was not as generous with his comments saying that he was rather stuck for words after watching Phillip’s performance and that he “admired Philip for taking a risk but that was the good news, it was a bit like watching Shakin Stevens perform at some hideous wedding.” When faced with the task of deciding who out of Chico and Phillip should go home, Simon said that they were both “bizarre performances” but that he thought “the right two were in the bottom this week”, but he was “making his decision based on who he thought the public would like to see back” and chose Chico to stay. So Chico lives to see another week.

Fans can breathe a sigh of relief since 4Tune will definitely be staying together as a group and will not be splitting up. When interviewed by Ben Shepherd, they told him: “The public have been unbelievable, they’ve been magic. The support that everyone has given us has been just unbelievable.”

and when asked about the future of 4tune, they announced that they are definitely going to stay together, and also said that there has been quite a bit of interest in them from various parties and they are going to gather everything in and decide which way to go from there. Going to The States is a possible option because its something they have always wanted to do. Looks like we haven’t seen or heard the last of 4Tune.

Who will be the third act to be ejected from the X Factor? Will Simon be left with just one group? Will Louis finally have that smug grin removed from his face?
