«After Eton Road sang their version of “Can You Feel The Love Tonight”, Simon and Sharon critisized the choice of song saying that it wasn’t really good enough for this stage of the competition….
Simon: “I’m gonna be honest, and I’m sorry to say this, but this was painting by numbers. I genuinely believe Louis has decided to back the Macdonald brothers and I don’t think that he cares about you particularly anymore, and I’ll tell you why…. they were both safe, predictable songs. You sang it OK. At this stage in the competition when you are down to the final five, I believe that you should have been show-cased better. You’re better than the songs in other words and I think you are very vulnerable tonight”
Sharon: “Guys, it wasn’t the best song in the world, it was nice, it was a nice ballady song. I’ve seen you do better and its a tough contest tonight so I really don’t know what is gonna happen, but you know what, what you do is good anyway. The song wasn’t the best, but it was good.”
Louis: “Regardless of what Simon says, Simon is playing games. It was a good song but Simon is trying to play games with our heads and turn me against you and you against me, cuz he feels very threatened and he hasn’t worked with any good bands in a long time. I think you are very special and I’m going to tell the public now that I want to work with you after the show and, I’m gonna make you into the next big boy band, I’m going public and I don’t need Simon to do it, I’m going to do it!”
Eton Road said: “We think Louis picked a brilliant song. We loved both songs, loved every minute of it”
Im a massive eton road fan and i wanna say they didn’t deserve to leave. i hope Louis sticks to his word about finding them a record contract because i know lots of people will buy their music. We need another succesful boyband and eton road are the best people for it. They have amazing voices and watching their final performance made me cry, Simon made the wrong decision. Ben is an amazing singer too but my heart was with eton road! Me as a teenager fell in love with them as soon as they auditioned and i knew they would do well. They should be so proud of themselves and you could tell they always sung from the heart. Anthony is so sweet and made me cry when he cried, James i think is gorgeous and daniel and david are both so sweet. You can tell their genuine. They are all round an amazing band and have the likability factor and they look like a proper boyband. They are all individual and they’re not the same as any other boyband. I’m trying to get tickets to go to the x factor tour nxt year to see the next big talent on stage. Eton road are my winners.
