    That’s what I meant
    She could have used the “it’s fairest to send it to the public vote “ if it was 2-1 Coming to her
    By going to her at 1-1 she was forced to actually choose

    She said earlier as she had no acts,she was backing Scarlett.And when it mattered she stuck to that.

    Raging Louis Tomlinson won’t be visiting Tuam, I’d have gone out for a look.

    The right act went last night. They just seemed to be shouting the same song every week. But they seem to have great chemistry between them and thankfully they told the one with the long hair to stop slut-dropping


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,605 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Any ideas on who the final duets are?

    Is Louis going sing with his boys and Simon get Leona for Scarlett?

    His "story" has got him way further than it should have. He is a one trick pony but at no stage has he been called out on it. I will be disgusted if he wins it. Its a singing competition and there is no way he has been anywhere near the best singer......or even 4th best.....

    He is BRUTAL....that snippet of an Abba song he sang was an absolute disaster.
    In general the standard bar Dalton and Scarlet (oh and Shan) has been useless this year any wonder strictly trouncing it in the ratings.

    Problem is will people vote for some English muppet or a Jamaican guy?
    If Dalton wins won't this be the first time someone not from the UK would have won?

    I think Dalton or Scarlett will win.But they dont have the X Factor.Their voices are something else.but theres no connection.

    I havent re watched any of the contestants videos on you tube.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,605 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I think I want Anthony to win to see if he will combust :p he reminds me of one of the Maguires from Shameless

    I think I read
    Dalton - james arthur
    Anthony - Ricky Wilson (from Kaiser Chiefs)
    Scarlett - Leona lewis


    Sounds about right to me, Dalton surely has it in the bag.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭dubstarr


    Oh Anthony and Ricky will be fab.Might just swing it for him.

    I seriously hope not.
    Anthony is a clown who can't sing coasting by on a sob story.... Imo
    Do you honestly see him selling records?

    Weirdly, I think Anthony could have more going for him than Dalton.
    I actually quite like his gravelly voice, and he was like a child when he met Wayne Rooney, he was clearly genuinely starstruck and it was nice to see.

    Scarlet and Leona Lewis - think I could be washing the cat when thats on too.

    Anthony's issues will also connect him to the Great British Public.
    Dalton is a bit devoid of personality, or perhaps its not visible yet. I find Anthony much more interesting than Dalton or Scarlet.


  • Administrators Posts: 14,396 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Big Bag of Chips


    Yeah other than a great singing voice don't see anything in Dalton that would make me want to follow his story, or watch an interview with him. Anthony is wound up.. But at least there's an entertainment factor there. It's not 'just' a singing competition. They have to have a bit of personality to back it up. And I don't think Dalton has that.

    Anthony with a bit of media training could be tamed. I don't think Dalton can be souped up though!

    I thought Leona was another let go from Simon's label, when did she last release something?

  • Registered Users Posts: 672 ✭✭✭Ashleigh1986


    This is total crap . Even the past contestants like James Arthur are useless .
    This show is dead in the water .
    It is what it is ....karaoke with great lighting .

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,150 ✭✭✭Immortal Starlight


    If I hear Scarlett sing "this is me" once more I'll puke. I hate those type of songs. So cringy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭dubstarr


    Anthony is having a duet with To Walker.Didnt see that coming


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,150 ✭✭✭Immortal Starlight


    Aw well done Anthony. I liked that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭Oasis1974

    Just watching the final. I haven't been.following this year - I thought Dalton was very shaky there. He has a range he just didn't start right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,412 ✭✭✭fletch


    I love this song but this is horrendous. They don't sound well together at all
