I asked four questions, Robert. I don't think you answered my third question.

Very simlar to AMERICAN IDOL/CANADIAN POP IDOL-some weeks it's exciting but now the final is nearing.

Julio was(slightly)better on Paul O'Grady's Show last evening-thank goodness he didn't sing!

Well,now Robert's'gone'-doesn't he sound like Frank Bruno when he speaks? Anyone's guess who will win. Eton Road have flashes of brilliance but I'm pleased Leona&Ben are still in there.

I rather think that Robert is taking advantage of sounding like Frank Bruno !!

I think Westlife did a good job last night--helping the contestants, plus giving opinions afterwards--10 times better than Julio anyway !

I hear Noel Gallagher wants to guest on the show,apparently he's a big fan of X FACTOR -he thinks he could advise the finalists on career moves :D

So, so sad to see Robert go, to me he sounds a little like George Benson. I would like Leona to win, what a superb voice she has, a real talent.

I watched this on Saturday night and parts of it again on Sunday. Please keep me updated with the future episodes.

My favourites are the MacDonald Brothers. They clearly had the best performance on Saturday with Love Is All Around. Leona's voice was thin except for the high note at the end. Eton Road was a disaster with more off pitch notes than on. The Ricky Martin kid has no voice and Ben is stuck in the past. So MacDonald Brothers all the way to the finish line!

I saw Robert on several interviews on Monday morning. What a nice and polite young man ... I hope he has a good career ahead of him.

I was so glad to see Ray get through tonight---he sang one of my all-time favourite songs-"The Way you look tonight"--I have many many versions of this song, and Ray gave as good a performance as any . I also loved him singing "Jailhouse Rock" I was quite sad to see Eton Road gp--they have grown on me over the last few weeks--but if Louis meant what he said, this will not be the last we have heard of them.

On saying that, I, personally, would buy an album of Ray--but not of Eton Road.

Didn't know who to choose tonight, but I was quite sorry to see Eton Road go. They've been different, and entertaining. :cry: :cry:
I'm sure Leona or Ben will win.

The result was predictable,however I think Leona has an all-round 'WOW' Factor-the winner will be a close call.
