Based on those vocals Kingsland Road deserve to get kicked off

Weirdly, she's doing better but I don't know that I want to see her doing the same thing each week. I get it, she's a torch song singer, an old style diva. She could release the covers album tomorrow.

Ah, just remembered the new rule. It could be a tie and Kingsland Road could go home that way.

Lets get controversial. S1m posted this. So, it's all alphabetical so far! Rough Copy to go next! Perhaps it is a bit of a fix and the producers want Abi Alton to win, as they eliminlate each going backwards in the alphabet, A will be last and so will win.

[pedant]It wouldn't be reverse-alphabetical as Lorna Simpson comes before Shelley Smith./pedant] A couple of other examples of "manipulation" on X-Factor: 2010: Cher Lloyd gets through to the final despite receiving the fewest semi-final votes. 2011: The opening and closing of the phonelines in the final is altered so that Amelia Lily is eliminated, sparing Kelly Rowland (who initially got rid of Amelia in the first live show) embarrassment. And, of course, one other show that has indulged in this sort of "manipulation" is The Voice UK, which tried to do everything it can to ensure Leah McFall won...

I was going by the table which I'd assumed was alphabetical all the way down!

I don't mind it if there is a decent act to follow, the main reason there is a local girl (Tamera) from our neck of the woods, I'm just supporting our local talent.
The show just gets knocked on each year with the endless sob stories which I can't stand, also what gets me when no hopers go and waste the judges time, when they don't get picked.
I just think now the show is getting dated, it needs something fresh to fill the autumn schedule, or at least do away with the Overs category, when was the last time someone won from the Overs, it was the very first show, and nothing since.
