Comments on: X Factor Week 4 – Results – VIDEO http://mjsbigblog.com/x-factor-week-4-results.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:57:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: butte009 http://mjsbigblog.com/x-factor-week-4-results.htm/comment-page-2#comment-466698 butte009 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:47:04 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/?p=11221#comment-466698 <blockquote>Since there are 4 judges, it seems this will always be thrown to the people's vote. 2 judges vote for their own mentees, 1 votes honestly, and then the final 1 throws it to the people's choice. So why go through the sham of making the bottom 2 sing? Why not just go with the people's vote, like in AI?</blockquote> Not true.... Rickey was sent home instead of Rachel 2 weeks ago with a 2-1 vote (Louie was gone but said he would have sent Rickey home too - So 3-1). Personally, I would have sent Rachel home then just to put her out of her misery. The girl broke down every time she hit B2. Last week I think Cheryl was really hoping that Danyl would get the boot if she threw it into DeadLock. Lloyd and Joe had a better shot vocally if Miss Frank were to stay in the competition rather than Danyl. Being in the B2 for the third time really sent a message to the Judges. People weren't connecting with Rachel. So while I think Simon would agree that vocally Rachel was much stronger and he would have liked to have kept her over Lloyd, he was only prolonging the inevitable. So throw it back to Deadlock. I'm sure if the twins managed to get into the B2 then they'll be sent home 3-1 too. Although I really don't know how Louie could even defend them at this point. :lol:

She's a good singer with memorable tone and pretty good technique. Could do well on radio. She's got some non-X-factor videos on YT of her singing, and she sounds quite good & looks good too. Ironically, she sang her own boot song with "stop crying your heart out", esp since it was her 3rd time in the bottom 2.

I know Rachel obviousy isn't connecting with the audience but Lloyd can't sing even without the bad throat .. it wouldn't have made any difference .. he still would have sounded sh*t. It was their chance to get rid of him because now his tween fan base will be fired into action and he'll be there until the end and probably win, it will serve Simon right ...lol The cyinical side of me thinks he wanted to keep Lloyd in to keep the tween viewing figures up (apparently Lloyd get's the most fanmail and has the most followers on facebook) .. and of course there's the money they make from the voting .. if he can spur the tweens on they'll make more money. Nice to see Bon Jovi again .. Jon Bon has fabulous hair A really stupid move by Simon.

I had written in my comments last night about the videos that I was put off by her saucy little wink to the camera as she sang "One". Considering the emotional resonance of that song (as it should be anyway), it was quite jarring. She does have a very strong voice though. I hope that some good opportunities will come out of this for her. That’s too bad, Rachel was one of the most credible to imagine as a professional singer.
