Talking about Saturday’s X Factor show, Simon said he “would have put the MacDonald Brothers in the bottom two along with The Unconventionals based on lack of charisma” and that the “MacDonald Brothers deserved to be in the bottom two.”
When asked which acts would excel and which acts would struggle in Saturday’s show, where the theme is rock songs recorded by Rod Stewart, Simon didn’t hesitate in saying that Ben would excel and also said “The MacDonald Brothers will struggle and also it’s a tough category for me with Ray.”
Louis, who rushed to the defense of his three remaining group acts said “Eton Road will get better and better, 4Sure have got great potential” and much to the annoyance and disagreement of Simon said that “The MacDonald Brothers have got better voices than Journey South.”

WOW!! Ben is just amazing !! This year there is extremely tough competition and to be honest i love all the contestants i wish they could all win !! But when i hear Ben he just seems like everything that the UK needs !! He makes me feel happy when he sings or even when i see a picture of him i think ‘BEN….yes’ i love him and even if he doesnt win i will always think of him as the winner !!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE ALL THE X-FACTOR CONTESTANTS, SHARON, SIMON AND LOUIS ASWELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx StEfF xx

I really liked the Macdonald Brothers in the auditions, and thought they deserved to go through to the live finals. I’m afraid after last Saturdays performance all I can think is that whoever voted for them really must be tone deaf.
