Lostfan, i totally agree - Astro's song was playing in the background with the backup singers but him talking all the made up lyrics doesn't even make it "that" song anymore. I don't call that singing. I'm not a rap fan either, if anyone can't tell. I think he is too full of himself.

Each week, I'm liking L.A. less and less. He made some real nasty comments last night - one regarding Leroy's age. I'm so tired of the bickering between the judges.

The only performance I enjoyed this week was Josh's. I love Drew and Rachel but did not like either song choice. I hope Stacy Francis goes next.

I used to find rap almost intolerable but it has become such a component of so many songs today that I have slowly come to appreciate some of it. Some rap definitely has more musicality than other rap. I agree that Astro is very monotone.

Don't get me started on the judges. I used to think that AI was too much about the judges and not enough about the contestants. X-Factor is almost all about the judges. When someone performs well (or poorly), they compliment (or criticize) each other more than the performer. Massive egos or what?!?!? I don't know how they are able to fit at the table or in the room.

Nothing to do with X-Factor specifically but here is an example of rap in a song that I like. It's Gym Class Heroes singing Stereo Hearts. Granted it also features Adam Levine (who is an amazing singer of course) but even the rap parts have some musicality.

Gldnlvr, I agree that Astro is too full of himself. I'v thought that since day one.

Jimmer, ITA with your assessment of the judges.

Jimmer, I like that song alot and also the rap song that Bruno Mars sings in (Lighters) . . . thats about all I can handle!

When Astro raps, I can't understand a word he says. Last week, I could hear several times "Joe Frasier" but that was it for the whole song.

HAHA, well now we know this week the group routine isn't being lip-synched. LeRoy totally lost his place and came in to sing his line about halfway through it.

Astro gives a strange speech and then for his performance, Astro is singing a rap version of the old "Never Can Goodbye".

Time for the final vote! ----



L.A. has voted out Stacy

Nicole has voted out Astro

Paula has voted out Stacy

Simon has voted out Stacy





Stacy as been voted out and is going home

Astro has acted like total brat during this whole final performance and voting stage! I can't believe any judge voted to keep him! Even if you guys don't watch the show, you have to watch the final performances and vote and the bad behavior of Astro.

Bah humbug, bah humbug, bah humbug





I can't imagine Stacy singing "Amazing Grace" badly. I can imagine Astro "singing" anything well. What a sham! Maybe he'll go next week!!!!!!

Thanks Naja for spoiling. I'm one of those that likes to know ahead of time.

I'm not surprised Stacy went home tonight, but I wish it was Astro. I have always thought he was too full of himself. Naja, guess I will have to watch the show. It is going to take everything I have to watch that part of the show.

Wow....Astro was never a fav of mine, but NOW I put it together why: this kid has an attitude that is soooooooo not becoming!

I thought after last night, Stacy should be in the bottom 2 & prob be the one to go.....I had no idea who would be with her & was very happy that it was Astro.

I am not a fan of Rap music so Astro has never been a top contestant for me. But, talking back to the judges & addressing the public like he did tonight is just disrespectable! He prob. lost alot of voters just by this! He can go home next!

I was wishing for a double elimination. Where is Jeff Probst when you need him?

I was reading at another forum that Stacy's story is very misrepresented to us. She has actually been a pro in a business for a long time and actually was hired at one time by Tom Cruise for one of his lavish birthday parties. As well as LeRoy, who has made I think 4 unsuccessful CDs with famous labels.

Anyway, just sharing the inside stories. I don't think it should have any bearing on their X-Factor success. I was just pointing out how they don't tell us everything on the show.

Thanks for the spoiling Naja. I'm behind on this show and I appreciate being up to date. I agree that the results were both unsurprising and surprising. Astro is just a kid but he has a lot of growing up to do.

You're welcome for the spoilers :-) This show is so easy to spoil on results night. They do everything in such nice neat chunks that are easy to type. American Idol is all over the place and a nightmare to spoil.

Wow, is all I can say about Astro, don't like rap but appreciate that it takes talent, the kid has it. What he has more of however, is attitude, and not a nice attitude, the nerve to come out there and say I don't even think I will sing, what do you think LA should I, and then that I'm out bs at the end. And then to tell Simom well if they don't vote for me why should I perform for them. That little boy needs some serious attitude adjuster. I don't know what pedestal he has been sitting on but he needs a big push, someone better sit that skinny little behind down and tell him what is what. He should be so grateful for this opportunity. I know he is just a kid and was probably hurt, poor little Rachel was crying waiting for her results so maybe his attitude is trying to act tough and he did have some tears so I will cut the kid some slack but he does need some serious talking to.

I think the judges have set him up and he bought into all their adoration. He is too immature to make it in this business because part of the process is rejections. When he is told all the time that he is wonderful and amazing and shoe-in for winning this thing then he is young enough to believe it. I was really sad for him not understanding the realities of life. Hope he understands that he is not a true performer if he doesn't want to perform if he is in the bottom. Maybe next week we won't have to deal with him anymore. Come on, America. Let's get this kid out of his perceived misery and cut him loose.
