Lloyd 'pretty boy' Daniels

Lloyd Daniels. What can i say? If there has ever been a case of someone getting to where they are solely on their looks, it has to be Mr Lloyd Daniels (along with mentor Cheryl Cole of course).



What is hilarious is that even in Lloyds first audition he was really quite poor. Completely out of tune and the judges were about to write him off right there and then until Ms Cole decided it would be a good idea to give him another go, (the first of many bad decisions).
Lloyd got through. Then through Bootcamp and finally through judges houses (where it was only Cheryl making the decision of course). Since the start of the live shows it has become increasingly apparent that Lloyd has an incredibly weak voice. He has a minimal range, which we saw in week one where he could not reach the high notes in Justin Timberlakes 'Cry me a River'. However he has a strong 'girly' fanbase, made up of most of the 14 year old girls in Britain who think hes 'gawjus'. (for the record, may I just say, I cant quite see the appeal)

Along with having a weak voice, Lloyd has no stage presence whatsoever. He appears uncomfortable on the stage, particually when he is surrounded by scantily-clad ladies.

The judges (minus Cheryl) seem to have picked up on his distinct lack of talent in the last few weeks, and finally, on sunday night, the public seemed to get it too and Lloyd was in the bottom 2 for the first time.
Lloyd had a sore throat, which took an unnessesary amount of  attention, both from Cheryl and from Lloyd himself making repeated gestures towards his throat during his performance, and once even sticking his tongue out in a choking-mime type way. I think the facts need to be looked at here. The reason Lloyd could not reach the high notes in his song was not because of his throat but because he is not a particually good singer, HE HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SING HIGH NOTES (see above).
However Simon then let the British public down and chose to take the result to deadlock after Louis and Dannii both chose to save Rachel. Lloyd of course has slightly more votes than Rachel and so survived for another week. Where, no doubt, his avid fans will spend all their pocket money keeping him in.
