Well as others have said Andy Scott Lee did sit a bit uncomfortable what with him already been there done that so I'm glad he's gone really. The final six are now a very strong line up and are all worthy of being the Pop Idol.


Well in my opinion, and I'm about to be harsh...

Andy Scott-Lee shouldn't have gone. He was one of the better contestants. Chris does not look like a Pop Idol. He doesn't look cute and he's pretty gormless. He should be going soon. Michelle should be long gone. If either 'fat one' should still be here it should be Kym - in my opinion she was far more bubbly, pleasant and was quite pretty; whereas Michelle comes across as a frumpy whinger.

Susanne is very unique, whereas Roxanne is a bit average. I hope Susanne will continue to do well.


I totally agree on all counts, except for the fact that Michelle should be long gone... as a Scot I feel she's doing the competition proud...

Anyway moving on...

According to todays Sun, Ant and Dec have landed the job to host World Idol on New Years Eve; and Susanne has stunned show organisers by demanding two bodyguards to keep fans away. She's been dubbed a diva for refusing to sign autographs.

Will Ant and Dec come with sub titles for everyone outside the UK?

I think Chris looked so much better with his glasses on this week, and his singing has improved too.

Not sure Roxanne should have left tonight, should have been Mark or Chris really.

Thought Will Young was fab though tonight.

Andy shouldn't have gone, but I don't think he would win it.

If this was the first Pop Idol, Michelle would've gone ages ago. Theres a small chance she could win this but only very small. She could make it down to the final 3.

Susanne is unique, but she can't sing all types of music which has been proven in the past few weeks. It would be interesting to see her sing a country song, because thats how her voice comes across to me. She is likely to be voted out soon. I only liked her in the first week of the final 12, I loved her look and voice, but it always goes down at the end and that I dont like.

Chris' voice goes all over the place sometimes and frequently over the top. He doesn't look like a Pop Idol and I cant imagine him in a Pop video. He could go either way, a lot of people like his voice and last night, I definately did.

Theres nothing unique about Marks voice, it's like I've heard it all before. I'm surprised he hasn't gone sooner. I really don't think he'll win this.

Sams voice is fine but I wish he'd change his hair style more often. He looks like Will Young (not the face but the hair) and it would be pretty boring if we let another Will Young win again . Come to think of it, sometimes he actually sounds like Will Young.

The show has a different feeling about it. No one stands out. Will had a very unique voice, Gareth did, and Darius did. If you heard them sing something new you'd know it was them and there'd be no doubt about it.

Whoever wins this wont be as popular as Will was/is. Just a gut feeling.

I liked Simon Cowell's admission that he wasn't looking for someone to look like a pop idol.

I think that Michelle has proved she can adapt to most styles of music, so personally, I feel that she deserves to win it.

Totally agree with you there Gary.

Suzanne or Chris to go this week (although I think that Chris did well last week)

I can't really say until I've seen tomorrow's performances, but...

I hope Michelle or Susanne go.

of course they will. They can't do anything on TV without one to back the other up. Rolling Eyes

What is your problem Eddie?

You never seem to have anything nice to say about anyone.

I'm surprised that Andy and Roxanne have gone. People are obviously voting for the ugly ones to 'have something different'.

Chris doesn't look like a Pop Idol and he looked absolutely dreadful. He was over the top with his song and his singing was excellent either. ...and the way he constantly licks his lips... it's almost like a twitch. I find him irritating to watch.

Susanne is my favourite. She's 'different' (which is what people are looking for) yet she's not ugly or heavily overweight. She's in the middle. On the plus side, she can sing quite well too and she shone tonight. It would be a travesty if she left tonight.

Michelle has got the backing of The Sun, which makes her likely to win, which is a nightmare because the minute she wins, the Sun will tear her to pieces and call her all sorts of names.
