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.
i agree 110 % they passed up singers who could one sing in key and had a brilliant range but instead opte for this pretty boy who is in way above his head , manufactured pop at its worsed , lets remember people in this series who have not got to the live shows , the lady in simons group -sang her heart out , daniel pierce , awesome and im my mind would of walked the competion ,this show is getting a joke bring back real singers in a real competion about your talent not if your a pretty boy , to much moulding goes on everyone has had a make over !!! so are they not creating the xfactor that wasnt there in the first place
