      We know Astro is going to make it by virtue of Simon and LA but no money from me, I don't care how great or how big the song, judges you disappointed me. As professional judges, I don't know who was more adolescent, Astro or you guy's (Simon, LA). Bye, Bye XFactor for me.

      You guy's are all right regarding the situation about Astro, but you know who I lost all respect for is the judges, especially Simon and LA.......nice way guy's to show how the music industry works, don't back up the feelings of the audience just screw the audience and cut the deals behind the scenes for your pockets.
