I love how when it's out of the judges hands Katie stopped with the theatrics
LOL. I thought I was the only one who noticed this.
I think the general strategy amongst the contestants is that, "sing your song, then cry as much as you can". This strategy is proving time and time again, to work.
Cher and Katie both understand the power of the above strategy and using it whenever they feel it can be used.
For the crying along, I felt that Katie should've been given the boot. Based on tonight's performance, Katie was definitely better, because Belle Amie really are bad. A couple of weeks ago, I felt One Direction were as bad as Belle Amie, but now I feel One Direction moved ahead a little, while Belle Amie were still awful.
My feeling is that the judges are seriously talking up Cher. This tells me that perhaps the decision has been made to offer her a record contract regardless of what happens in this competition.
PS. Cheryl got to No.1 today in the singles chart, so all this publicity she is getting from XFactor is clearly working a treat.
