Is it only me or does anyone else think Cowell should be ashamed of himself playing the "patriot" card?

England hasn't won anything this year, says he. So he wants all of YOU discerning people to vote for the cabaret act. What a bloody cheek!

MONKEYFACE: Apparently his paternal granda was a Scot. His mum's maiden name is Dalgliesh.

i hate the way they have done this as england, wales and scotland
because obviously england are the biggest
its unfair we dont judge them on their nationality or their past (sob storys) we judge them on their talent
and the only worthy winner is of course RHYDIAN!
come on rhydian!!

Last act of a desperate man!

He's not Scottish. We don't want him or like him & we don't wants his sort claiming to be one of us.

yep, I really dislike Simon now!! Oh well Scotland lost out in the football to Italy so lets keep Leon in for Scotland!! Oh and Wales lost out also so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goat!!!

It aint cabaret it's talent - cud you do it? no didn't think so how can u judge em???

SD is hell of all better than Rydian! Leon might be as gd as SD but i can't see why Rhydian even bothered turning up he is useless

i know i'm voting for the one that has talent and for me its rhydian , the others are just making up the numbers

He is desperate to get votes for SD!!!!!!

People should vote for whoever they thought best - I voted for Rhydian!!!!!

Every successful act these days has to be the total package. Out with shows like X Factor people don't get deals unless they have the look, attitude and talent and it shouldn't be any different on the show. Rhydian might have the best voice, but no, he shouldn't win. If he does he will get one hit single (which ANY winner of the show is garunteed) then fade away like Michelle McManus who also didn't have the look. Same Difference don't have the talent that Rhydian or Leon have, so I don't think they should win it either. That leaves Leon who has the whole package. He is the only one that I think will last past the obligatory hit.

The patriot card was cheap, but at the same time I think even if he had not people would have voted for their own nationality. I'm Scottish and everyone wants Leon to win, I do too but I like to think I'm looking past nationality, but if you went to Wales, everyone will want Rhydian. It is just how it works. So yes, cheap move Cowell, but it won't really effect things.

I have scotish blood in me and I am english but still voting WHEN I CAN GET THROUGH for RHYDIAN!!

He needs a Patriot (a patriot missile) more likely. He's a showbiz bullshitter dahlink what do you expect?
edit - moron from bolton (vernon kay) coming on, change channels quick! phew.

i say good on him...cos same difference HAS to win
