Bottom 2? How an anyone predict things the way this competition's gone! Crazy just about every week - with the very worst this week! The judge's made a very big mistake sending Ben home!
So many worthy of being there have gone - like Rosita and Steve and now Ben! Leaving some who really don't deserve to still be there - or are worthy of the title!
what absolute and utter crap!!
just goes to reconfirm my opinion of the average New Zealanders music sense.
Boring bunch of netball playing Shortland Street watching gits!!
way to late now, by the way he was going i thought lyke theres no need to vote he'll be #1 anyway. lines have closed after they announced the bottom 2, left it too late. oh well
Matts attitude has been great. He always gives a good answer and doesnt raise his voice unlike the some of the others. Emily and Camillia with their attitude? hmm we've all seen it for ourselves but hope there may be a future for them because they have great singing skills but not on PUS, somewhere else.
I undestand Matt had a family emergency. what do you actually do? tell them to "beat it! im too busy trying to win $50"? -sounds really selfish ew. If that was any other Contestant everyone wouldve been "oh its alright we understand" Damed of you do, Dam if you dont! someone will always be trying make a Mountain out of a Ant hill lmao!
Life has these things popping up right when we dont want them to. bad timing for Matt, but in saying that, it can happen to any of the Contestants at any time. I'd be fair moaning my ass off if any of them had a family emergency and had to miss rehearsals too Harry the Judge was just trying to justify his job &paycheque. Thats pretty much the only thing he's been staunch on through the whole show?? He should look more at a checkout chick Job at Countdown or working at a Geriatric wing in an oldfolks home yaa
I undestand Matt had a family emergency. what do you actually do?
You ring somebody, even if it's just one of the other contestants and get them to pass a message on, explaining the situation! That's what anybody with any respect for others would do anyway ...

How can you when your cell phone and possesions get stolen at Auckland Airport? (Levin Chronicle 29/6/07 Reporter Felicity Wolfe)
Anyone in their right mind would think hello something must of went wrong if a Star just didnt turn up! So Harry goes on National TV and trys real hard to blow the whole thing up? lmao! that misrable dog of a plan didnt work because Matt didnt end up in bottom2.
Having finally got it right last week - now am saying that Matt & David should be in the bottom 2 this week!
Nik been improving so could miss this time.
Still wonder if David will go yet though, not because he's one of the best singers, but because he has a good attitude and he seems to have a following.
OK some (like chevy) may say that Matt has a following too! But think his attitude may have let him down.
Also been thinking though, that with all that money that Matt won last time, he could afford to pay for quite a few votes himself, if it's to help him win another $50,000!
Was glad Camellia went. The trouble with her this time round is that she's tried too hard and put too much into everything she's done. Making it all rather off-putting!
Nik performed best in the sing-off, and was the right one to stay. Good song for him and performed well. Again I thought as so many times before, that I would rather hear him than watch him!
Heard Camellia on The Edge. She said she wants to continuing singing - but Soul not Pop. Right way to go for her! She also said she only went into this competition because she was being paid to do it!
I wondered about that - were they being paid each week! So, that answers it!
Others I'd think are in it because they really want the exposure and further experience to help them with their career - not just because they're being paid. Amongst those I'm sure would have been Ben, Nik, Rosita and Steve.
She also said she only went into this competition because she was being paid to do it!
Hmmmm, now I just want Ben to win even MORE after hearing that admission from Camillia!!! Surely that's not really why you should be doing a competition like this - purely cause you're getting paid to do it?! I would've thought love of music or singing would have HAD to have SOME input into your reasoning for entering into it ...
I feel sure Ben's not in it purely cause he's getting paid to do it ... although I imagine only working part-time at Line7 wouldn't give him MUCH of a salary, so he'd be grateful for the extra $$$ LOL
I have no doubt that some like Ben - probably Nik, Steve and Rosita too, are there because they do love singing and take it seriously and want to do well at it and see this show as a chance to get more exposure and experience - plus a chance to sing because that's what they love doing!
The extra money and prize if they get it are bonuses! They are the sort of people that deserve to win - providing of course that they work hard, can sing and perform really well too. Which most certainly Ben does - all of those!
With Steve and Rosita gone, Nik being argumentative often, and defensive. Ben is the only one who works hard, listens and does his very best with everything that he's given. Says himself that he sees each difficulty as a challenge. And he works at them all and gives his best every time.
Soooooo glad N!K's there for another week!!!!!!! As soon as he said which song he was singing last night, I was instantly interested and eager to hear it ... I mean, you can't get more pop than the King of Pop, can you?! I honestly don't know what Camillia was thinking, singing that song, cause (a) it put me to sleep, and (b) I thought this was about "pop" music - she really didn't sound "pop" singing like that, unfortunately
Pleeeeeeeease let it be David and Matt in the bottom two this week! They really are the ones who are the next weakest vocally in the competition, and should therefore, be the next to go, in my eyes.
Wow its good to be back in here again! My favourite popstar is Nik - and seeing him in the bottom 2 is very disappointing but he needs votes to keep him out of there? Numo ono# I am voting for him and is there anyone else? Just curious? The advantage of him being in the bottom 2 is he is doing so well that its hard for anyone to knock him out! Put David with him - Davids gone! The one who can knock him out I would say is Emily, Matt and maybe Ben or Joe? Don't know but Emily would for sure! So keep up the good work Nik!
The one who can knock him out I would say is Emily, Matt and maybe Ben
it'll be Ben the one to beat this year. he's doing everything right and every weeks totally wins me over. Nik is still great, ive always liked Niks singing even over Matts.
Well, I was right about Steve going- just because that's the way I thought the judges would go. Not because I wanted him to!
He was really good and deserved to stay on the performance he gave, definately the best - and his best! Really nice guy too!
Much better than Camellias over-done performance! .
Got it wrong - again! Wonder if Nik would have been there this week though, if he wasn't given immunity!
So think that Steve may be the one to go. Expecting that Camellia will come out singing better than him. Even if do I do like Steve better and enjoy watching him more!
But why no David there still - or Matt!
Predicting next week Nik will be in the bottom 2. Not sure yet who the other one will be. Have to wait to see who goes this week. Should be David or Steve - on this week's show.
yar, catch ya later Rosita. i can sit here and rattle off untill the cows come home yar yar yar. But i thought you was good.
And if Matt was to be booted everyone would be like: good job, useless, had it coming etc Lol
Never, never would have expected Rosita to be the second one to go! Something very wrong with how people are voting!
So anything can happen it's obvious! Predicting who will go not as clear as it should be!
Also remembering that right now people are voting on last Sunday's performances, whereas, next Sunday they can still vote on that night performances, what we haven't seen (of course), so can't judge who should be in bottom 2 very easily.
But the 2 I THINK should be in the next bottom 2 - based on the last show are David and Matt! Maybe Camellia.
I'll just keep voting for Ben and wish for him to be safe!
Was going to start voting for Rosita to help her, too late!
I picked the bottom two and the one that would go last week although I didn't post here! I think this week it'll be Joe and David, I think people will still vote for Emily even though I don't think she's doing very well cos people always seem to vote for the ones they think no one else will vote for!! Or they feel sorry for her, or something
I was forgetting all about having to pick the next bottom 2 before the show on Sunday! So here goes again, based on last performances we saw!
I Pick Emily again and either David or Joe.
Emily because I still wasn't impressed with her - and don't think many other people would have been.
David because he can't sing and Joe because it wasn't as good as what others did, but may not be there because of The Edge fans voting for her. Sorry Joe, know you're trying hard!
I hate to say it, but I personally don't think David will be in the bottom two this week simply because people for some strange and bizarre reason that only they could possibly know seem to LOVE him! and it's really quite sad, cause he cannot sing anywhere near as well as everyone else on the show but for some reason people will keep him there, and better singers will get dropped out. I sincerely hope he doesn't make it right through to the final two, cause that would be a very very very VERY sad day in NZ music!!!
Bottom 2? How an anyone predict things the way this competition's gone! Crazy just about every week - with the very worst this week! The judge's made a very big mistake sending Ben home!

Leaving some who really don't deserve to still be there - or are worthy of the title!
stupid stupid stupid
and another thing, how can they change the way the voting works just like that. Did everyone know they had to vote before the end of the show????
what absolute and utter crap!!
just goes to reconfirm my opinion of the average New Zealanders music sense.
Boring bunch of netball playing Shortland Street watching gits!!
*takes tissue* thanks Ev
its ridiculous tho!!
Sux!
I cannot believe Ben has landed in the bottom-2?
to me, he did an EXCELLENT performance!?
what is wrong with you new zealand
"sulks"
call me a sooky bubba but yeah i cant believe it.
ads on now, just about to see Ben sing off against Emily... here we go
way to late now, by the way he was going i thought lyke theres no need to vote he'll be #1 anyway. lines have closed after they announced the bottom 2, left it too late. oh well
whoa!! i just heard Emily hit some high notes.. work those lungs!
nice job
ads on now, we're about to see...
but yeah the Judges favoured Emily. those high notes still ringing my ears
i know. Emily abit upset that Ben had to go.
just the way it is. couldve been Matt or Joe
Matts attitude has been great. He always gives a good answer and doesnt raise his voice unlike the some of the others. Emily and Camillia with their attitude? hmm we've all seen it for ourselves but hope there may be a future for them because they have great singing skills but not on PUS, somewhere else.

yay im so glad Nik stayed!
me too
bye Camilia and best wishes
Soooooo glad N!K's there for another week!!!!!!! As soon as he said which song he was singing last night, I was instantly interested and eager to hear it ... I mean, you can't get more pop than the King of Pop, can you?!

it'll be Ben the one to beat this year. he's doing everything right and every weeks totally wins me over. Nik is still great, ive always liked Niks singing even over Matts.
My predicting's been really bad! In fact 2 of my favourites gone already!
By anyway want to put Camellia in the bottom 2 again with Nik!
Hope there's no immunity this week, to save someone who people have voted to be in the bottom 2 - or not voted for I should say!
Got it right - finally. How about that!
Now maybe I'll keep going that way - with luck!
Well, I was right about Steve going- just because that's the way I thought the judges would go. Not because I wanted him to!
.
He was really good and deserved to stay on the performance he gave, definately the best - and his best! Really nice guy too!

Predicting next week Nik will be in the bottom 2. Not sure yet who the other one will be. Have to wait to see who goes this week. Should be David or Steve - on this week's show.
I keep asking myself the same question, Loyal ...
Neither of them were my favourites but I thought Nik should've gone cos he's boring more often than Rosita.
He is! Wouldn't have minded at all if he'd gone.
Who did you support that year then Alaina? Can't remember!
Teresa, Steve and Rongo.
yar, catch ya later Rosita. i can sit here and rattle off untill the cows come home yar yar yar. But i thought you was good.
And if Matt was to be booted everyone would be like: good job, useless, had it coming etc Lol
... only if he hadn't been performing to his full potential, and hadn't been deserving of staying, Chevy
haha totally agree
Matt better do something this week, he's risking it and loyal diehard fans will only help him so far...
Ben is totally safe, he does his performance and singing well. i put him atleast in top3 or even top2
He's only safe, Chevy, if people keep voting for him
I only hope you're both right. But after Rosita realise anything can happen! Mind you I didn't actually vote for Rosita - but do for Ben!
Never, never would have expected Rosita to be the second one to go! Something very wrong with how people are voting!
So anything can happen it's obvious! Predicting who will go not as clear as it should be!
Also remembering that right now people are voting on last Sunday's performances, whereas, next Sunday they can still vote on that night performances, what we haven't seen (of course), so can't judge who should be in bottom 2 very easily.

I'll just keep voting for Ben and wish for him to be safe!

Was going to start voting for Rosita to help her, too late!
Well, got it all wrong this week! Don't think may people would have guessed that Rosita and Nik would be in the bottom 2!
I really don't think the judges will send Rosita home! They've always praised her highly! Really hope not anyway!
They've not been so enthusiastic about Nik. So thinking Nik will go.
i was gobsmacked when they ended up in bottom 2
I picked the bottom two and the one that would go last week although I didn't post here! I think this week it'll be Joe and David, I think people will still vote for Emily even though I don't think she's doing very well cos people always seem to vote for the ones they think no one else will vote for!! Or they feel sorry for her, or something
I was forgetting all about having to pick the next bottom 2 before the show on Sunday! So here goes again, based on last performances we saw!

Emily because I still wasn't impressed with her - and don't think many other people would have been.
David because he can't sing and Joe because it wasn't as good as what others did, but may not be there because of The Edge fans voting for her. Sorry Joe, know you're trying hard!

I sincerely hope he doesn't make it right through to the final two, cause that would be a very very very VERY sad day in NZ music!!! 
You're right - guess I didn't really expect David to be. Just think he should be!
Most certainly didn't expect Rosita to be there though!
Got my predictions very wrong!
