The judges choose their final four and drop three acts each…
Sharon’s Final 4:
Andy – through
Maria – through
Brenda – through
Chico – has “the weakest voice” but a complete showman
OUT: Haifa, Ritchie, Joanne
Simon’s Final 4:
4Tune
Conway Sisters “on a live show, could sound all over the place”
Journey South – did good
Addictiv Ladies (by the skin of their teeth) Simon must “need his brains testing”
OUT: Eskimo Blonde, The Brothers, 4thBa5e
Louis’ Final 4:
Chenai “has learnt an awful lot” according to Louis
Shayne “looks like a popstar”
Phillip “Voice is different”
Nicholas – through
OUT: James, Trevor, Alexandra

So who does everyone think will win?
Personally I reckon Andy will win through, with 4-tune as runners up.
First out will be Addictiv [sic] Ladies – they’re marginally the least talented of the 12 (although Chico gives them a close run).
It’s a real shame Trevor didn’t get through just because he didn’t “look right”. I think he was the best singer of the lot!

i think shayne will go all the way hes got the looks and the voice and most girls will back him up all the way.its a real shame james didnt get through he had a really good voice i dont think it was fair to let him go because of his age.if he comes back hes got my vote!

Louis Had His Beer Goggles and ear muffs on when he booted James And Trevor out. These two lads should have been in the final.

What was Sharon playing at ?????
I cannot believe Sharon wasted a space on Chico!! Who has absoultly NO talent what so ever, Ritchie should have been put into the final 4 definately. He has a voice which you would never get fed up listening 2 – Hope he never gives up because he has something Chico will never have x x x love you Ritchie x x x

Trevor and James miss out and thats part of the game. However I believe that they are 2 of the best singing talents in the show. I know that being a pop star isn’t totally about the voice. Trevor and James are young and it was heart breaking to see them take the news so badly (expecially Trevor). I wish they showed more compassion to those guys with Louie explaining that they were out but not losers. Why couldn’t an arm be put round those guys and not just those going onto the next round. Well done Trevor and James you will both be big stars in your own right one day.

i can’t believe that louie didn’t let trevor into the live rounds! he must be nuts. treveor has the best voice that i’ve heard in years. If sharon or simon had the group he would have gone through without a doubt. Louis all about image! not talent! and trevor has that in the bucket loads.

I think Philip is Great, louis and Simon saw his potential from the very beginning, he is going to offer something different and unique to the competition and i wish him all the very best, my phone will definatley be busy voting for him!
As for Shayne who is tipped to be the next big thing, isn’t he just a younger mould of…oh whats his name….oh yeah that very successful Steve!!

I can’t belive Louis and Sharon when they put 4tune out. I love them, they were the most talented, I don’t see why chico ever entered the compotition. 4tune are best friends with my Brother’s girlfriend and her brother. I hope 4tune go very far and become very successful, at least i’ll get backstage passes!!!
