Lucie: Cowell act should go
Singer tips over-25s to lose out this week
LUCIE JONES has tipped one of Simon Cowell's acts to be voted off X Factor this weekend, following her controversial exit from the show.
The singer, right, who lost out to Jedward when Cowell took the judges' vote to deadlock, said: "I think it's about time one of the over-25s went."
"Not because of Simon though. My prediction is Danyl might be out this week."
Lucie - who performed in front of 500 people at a homecoming gig in Cardiff on Thursday - did confess that Simon was her LEAST favourite judge.
ITV and broadcasting regulator Ofcom received thousands of complaints about Cowell's decision to back Jedward but Lucie said the public reaction was "bizarre".
"I'm in the middle of it and it seems quite surreal," she said.
And the youngster - who is tipping Stacey to win - cannot understand why girls fancy Jedward.
"I don't see it myself," she said. "They are brilliant and hilarious, but really?"

Lucie you are a sweet girl, you were definitely better than the twins by far. I don't know what happened last week. May be Simon took the 'entertainment value' of the twins as they put up a good show, though they cannot sing. Eventually, they would have let you go as the people were not voting for you. Danyl has a good singing voice so does a couple of others. I am sorry to say this to you - you need to get some expert advise on your clothing, to bring out the beauty in you.

Danyl will go after a bottom two with jedward. He shouts so much he would never sell a record

Simon is full of dirty tactics this year, his plot of eliminating better opponents prior to the Finals should backfire on him. The 2 contestants left for Simon should be place on the bottom two and one eliminated. This should be a lesson to us all, when you have the opportunity to be a judge, do the right thing. Simon knew in his heart that Lucie is far better than the Jedwards, yet he felt incompetent to make such decision; that puts a question mark to why he is a judge in the first place on his own programme; also being a mentor. What a shamble?

joe to win he is the best singer he can sing

I agree Diane. Jamie is the only reason I'm watching this year. But somehow, I know he won't win. I think personally, Simon is paying more attention to Danyl and Olly, and doesn't care so much for Jamie. He keeps changing his songs at the last minute. It seems like Simon is just throwing Jamie under the bus. And Louis has really dissapointed me. He is so mean to Jamie. I didn't know Louis Walsh was so vile. He's not only mean to the contestants, but to the public as well. Shame on him.
I hope Jamie goes far after this. He's brilliant and very VERY hot!

Lucie why are you so mean. People didn't vote for you. It was not Simon's fault. Sour grapes and by the way Danyl is a better singer than you.

The vote hi-jacking could have let in enough Irish votes to let Lucie get stabbed in the back and wrongly eliminated. Nobody knows for sure how many votes are in question, but Lucie was only let down by a tiny number...

Jamie to win!! We need to vote for him- we need him ! Britain needs someone real- he seems to remain true to himself and is a fantastic performer. He deserves it AnD he´s hot!!!

I have never heard such a lot of rubbish flying backwards and forwards like it is just now it is making the show a farse let people make up thier own minds without messages put on facebook or where ever this will ruin the show for the future

Stacey was absolutely fantastic last night and so deserves to win.

No way will Danyl go this week! He is way too good, and for people who thinks he's "cocky" and "arrogant" you only thought he was when the judges kept mentioning it week by week, if they didn't say anything i don't think people would think he is. Its singing competition, Danyl should definetly win. Also, Jamie Afro says that Danyl's a better dancer then Olly, i think we need to see these moves! :)

For entertainment value, J&E are the frontrunners. For singing ability and voice, Joe is the best. Danyl is a good entertainer, but, he does not have the best voice. I find him cocky and arrogant. When he was in the bottom 2 a few weeks ago, he was brought down a peg or two. I am sad that the show is now nothing to do with singing ability which is what it always has been about...Leona, Alexandra, Shane...all won because they had the best voice (Leon being the exception!!!). I hate to say it, but, the twins could win....I don't they'll go out tonight; in fact, I think tonights vote is going to cause ructions as we are now going to lose SINGERS rather than so-so singers which has been happening (Lucy excepted). Cheryl & Danni will only have themselves to blame...they only put J&E thru to bootcamp to annoy Simon...backfired on them now hasn't it! Joe to win please.

JEDWARD will not win. Eventually the public will pick the best act. However JEDWARD have been brilliant entertainment and I think once they are voted off I will then stop watching. The rest of the show is BORING! WELL DONE JEDWARD!

Boycotted X Factor last nite and will keep doing so until Jedward are voted off. Simon's needs to be taught a lesson.
By gertie.. Posted November 15 2009 at 7:40 AM.
No point auditioning for X factor unless you look pretty or girly like Jedward. X factor cares more about money rolling in than fostering talents.
The only thing that made me laugh was when Dermot told Danyl and Simon to go and get a room!
Not nice, but I am amazed he had the gut to say that!

I was glad lucy went, twins are fab entertainment, and Simon knows what he is doing. Lucy should be careful how she answers questions, as she sounds bitter. Losing with dignity, will be the making of her, if only she took that advice.
By lisa.. Posted November 15 2009 at 7:32 AM.
lucie your so bitter you were never going to win so you were going eventually and as for danyl going this week dont think so he is going to win and people who say hes cocky shut up you jealous idiets !!
By ross.. Posted November 15 2009 at 4:05 AM.
Cowell calls Lucie the best female singer in the sgow and the twins horrendous, and then a week later votes to save them and boot her off. Cowell has lost all credibility. Sting is right. It is pathetic karaoke and nothing more
By Keith Price.. Posted November 15 2009 at 2:15 AM.
You're making her out to sound malicious. The only truth in this is that she said after being pushed for an answer she said she thinks Danyl will go this week.
By Ellie.. Posted November 14 2009 at 11:59 PM.
But your not bitter
