So is Cher in the bottom two - is that what we all think

I think it's hardly 'evereyone' that thinks she'll be borttom 2.  Half a dozen on here may think so but the same could be aid of many.  Perfectly safe for me with katie in trouble.

We deal in probabilities - not certainties

the probability is 50 % so 3.75 is massive value g.b

She has a substantial fanbase but how many will have been motivated to vote by last night's effort?
I like her but Imagine was wrong in so many ways for her. Think she'll avoid bottom 2 though.

The problem is with doing Beatles songs, all the X Factor singers will be told they "ruined it" by proper music fans. They are in a no win situation. Iconic songs like Imagine can't be done well by a 17-year-old on a talent show. It's impossible. The question is whether X Factor fans who vote think it was a good effort. Everyone is allowed a duff week and if anything it might make her fans worried enough to vote. She does have quite a sold fanbase.

If Wagner is in the bottom two then it's a no brainer. I really want to see the end of him. He's not funny in the slightest anymore. Could he go? Odds are very short again to go, but are any of us expecting him to be in bottom two?

His measured demolition of Biffa was hilarious actually

novelty
It is extrememely difficult for the contenders in the cold light of day.
This is really just a scripted panto though, with singing as a loose theme.
They get the exposure and the fame they crave (even if very brief), Cowell and his cronies mop up the cash.
And they do get an opportunity to succeed, if they are good enough, a la jls.
And the viewers get something to talk about with friends/family/colleagues in their humdrum lives.
And a few of us add to our income, tax free

I haven't enjoyed this series at all. I get so angry when absolute trash like One Direction are billed as the next best thing. Why on earth does our country want them to dominate our air waves for years to come? Why?!!!!!!!! Why does Simon Cowell have to pick them to ram down our throats? Can't he pick someone bareable to ram down our throats? The whole show has been a total and utter disaster this year.

Wagner. Come on. Anyone who finds that funny has a sense of humour worse than Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps.

I think there are some Beatles songs she could have made work for her. I agree Imagine was pretty much a hiding to nothing, bad choice by her team.
But Twist and Shout, Paperback Writer could have been adapted to her style.

Hopefully you're right that she's allowed a duff week.
