to get the pregnant girl from Two Shoes out of the show?

They make a fortune from the phone vote, so why on earth would they forfeit that so they could alienate viewers by taking the decision away from them? AIBU to bet the girl told them she was pregnant, they said "Oh fuck we can't have her on the show, what if something happens to her, what are we going to do?" and they came up with this "twist" to get her out?

Can't see much point entering as a group though - thats all of the original groups out before it's even started

yes you're right cantspel - Johnny can sing certain songs very well - I just adore his personality. ( he was awful last night though )

I dont know. JLS have done pretty well form themselves without even winning

I want to hear Johnny sing some of the older classic ballards. Things like That old fellings and Someone Cares For You.

I agree - I'd love to hear him sing 'Summertime' - hard song to sing but I think he'd pull it off.

The whole thing is a scam - a brilliant band - The Keys - was disbanded by the twat who is tulisa (why the fuck is this little chav a judge anyway?!) to make a new band and the only bands left in the competition are the ones made by the show! Why do bands bother going on?! This show turned into a farce last year and it's getting worse - totally manilpulative

If it was credible they would have proper record producers judging the talent and they would put through bands who auditioned not just constantly make their own bands

I really like tulisa - and I didn't think I would, but I do think they should limit it to 1 show-made band.

I thought that too and 2Shoes.

I didn't think they sang too badly, but the whole thing looked like a Sheilas Wheels advert.

Tulisa looks more and more like Cheryl Cole every programme.

It was pretty obvious who was going from each category - I think the only one who had a really hard decision to make was Kelly. Plus she was the only judge that got it absolutely spot on with song choices and staging. Tulisa should not be allowed to choose any more songs - I predict by the end of week 4 she will only have The Risk left.

Unless the other contestants show a huge improvement, Misha B has it in the bag this year - she is head and shoulders above the rest - although DH thinks that Sophie is the Brit School / stage school ringer this year a la Leona Lewis.

You're reading way too much into this. 2 Shoes were quite bad, although I still think they will make much more entertaining viewing than Nu Vibe. But of course, there was no way Tulisa would ditch her home made bands.

Bit of a shame there isn't a single original band in the show now, but I can't read a great conspiracy into all of this. The right people left and it was a good way to get rid of some dead wood early on.
