what's the matter now?
Posted by: Davidson 23rd November 2014, 10:01 PM
Some interesting song choices on the Jutebox surprisingly. I would love Andrea to do 'Heartless' for something different from him and 'Family Portrait' is my favourite P!nk song by far and is so under used so would love to hear Fleur's take. Unfortunately I can see the public going with the obvious choices though (although If I Ain't Got You would be fab for Fleur anyway).
Song predictions:
Andrea Faustini - Hero (although Respect wouldn't surprise me)
Lauren Platt - Story Of My Life
Stereo Kicks - Fix You
Ben Haenow - Thinking Out Loud
Fleur East - If I Ain't Got You
Hope there will be some upbeat songs for their other choice (presuming they have 2 songs each).

Haven't we already had Queen week??
Posted by: FezVez 23rd November 2014, 10:47 PM
My votes:
Andrea
Kanye West - Heartless
Lauren
Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child
Stereo Kicks
Phil Collins - Against All Odds ('cause I want them out!)
Ben
Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends ('cause no one show be allowed to touch You Are So Beautiful after Alexandra's iconic rendition)
Fleur
P!nk - Family Portrait

We have, it's not the theme this week, they're performing instead
Posted by: Timmy SZN 23rd November 2014, 11:07 PM
Ugh don't let Andrea do Heartless please. It'll probably be a rehash of Samantha Jades performance on the Australian X Factor and I'm sure it has been performed in the same style on the US X factor as well
Posted by: Liаm 23rd November 2014, 11:15 PM
Mel was even a judge in that series so she'd just blatantly be ripping off Samantha
I think it would be good for Andrea but I agree, if he's going to do something different I'd rather it wasn't copycat still!
Posted by: April 23rd November 2014, 11:18 PM
The biggest copycat crime on XF was surely Simon stealing Gamu Nhengu's version of "Walking on Sunshine" for Rachel Crow. Scandalous.
Posted by: Envoirment 23rd November 2014, 11:22 PM
Andrea: Kanye West - Heartless
Lauren: Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody or Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child
Stereo Kicks: Snow Patrol - Run
Ben: Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends
Fleur: P!nk - Family Portrait
Those are my votes. I'm torn between those two for Lauren though. I love "Ain't Nobody" and want to see it being performed but I don't think it'll suit her. But at the same time I don't want to hear "Don't You Worry Child" for the millionth time even though I think she'll do a good job of it.
Posted by: Liаm 23rd November 2014, 11:27 PM
Unrelated to that performance or this statement but any excuse to post this iconic Rachel moment:
Posted by: THEO. 23rd November 2014, 11:59 PM
Oh. Surely it would have made sense to align the two?! I don't think anyone would have shed tears at the prospect of hearing overplayed Queen songs in week seven rather than week four...
Posted by: euro music 24th November 2014, 03:06 PM
Andrea & Stereo Kicks for bottom 2 hopefully with SK getting the push. They just act like little 12 year old schoolboys.
Posted by: JosephStyles 24th November 2014, 03:36 PM
I know what you mean, it's very odd, although I think they were originally gonna have disco week at that stage instead!

6.0 Ben Haenow - Come Together
what a weak version of that song, didn't do anything for me but he'll predictably get "you were amazing" comments
Posted by: ROBOT 29th November 2014, 08:09 PM
Anyone here?
That was definitely the line of performance and song choice that Ben seems most comfortable doing, it was a big improvement on last week but he's a case of 'no matter what he does, you'll never love it' for me, and that's purely because I don't like the tone of his voice when he does the YARGHHHH kinda gravelly screams, just not my thing. One of his better performances though, I'll give him that.
Ben Haenow - 'Come Together' / 7/10

and Andrea/Ben/Lauren are very often near the start. In fact I'm sure Lauren and Ben opened the show last week, but Lauren was first and Ben second! But running order doesn't matter so much when there's only 5 tbh.
Posted by: Jonjo 29th November 2014, 08:12 PM
If there's a Leona song that deserves a boost, it's 'Better In Time'! Always been one of her more under appreciated songs. 
EDIT: Hahaha. Snubbing Foxes again! 'Clarity' by Zedd....
Hahahaha.

she really looks awkward in-between all the dancers. and some of those vocals were off. i know she's ill but it still wasn't that good.
Posted by: Liаm 29th November 2014, 08:18 PM
Not the right song choice at all 
Far from her best and it was quite pitchy, but she was ill. Hopefully she pulls it back with the second song choice.

Posted by: ROBOT 29th November 2014, 08:18 PM
Lauren Platt - 'Clarity' / 4.5/10 That performance really just showed her up in my opinion, appalling performance skills of literally just taking a casual bored stroll around the stage when so much was going on around her. It could've been a moment because that was a GREAT song choice for her but it really wasn't, quite weak and she's really gone backwards the past few weeks disappointingly because as Simon said that is the sort of song she should be nailing and releasing imo.
Posted by: Jonjo 29th November 2014, 08:19 PM
02. Lauren Platt - Clarity
You can tell she's ill/has a sore throat. I feel for her slightly but she's a massive trooper for actually going on and performing and not taking the easy way out by not performing (not sure what would have happened at this stage in the competition, but assuming it's the same situation - a bye to the next week). She still gave a good performance, but vocally (obvious reasons) it wasn't as good as it could have been, although still good for what they were!

Taking vocals out of the mix all she did was stand there and turn a little. ZERO performance went on.

Ben Haenow (Come Together) - Thought it was great and exactly what he should be doing. His best performance in a good while for me. - 9.0/10.0
Lauren Platt (Clarity) - Was strong overall but much like all of her other performances recently, been competent without blowing me away. Some vocal struggling during chorus too. - 7.0/10.0
Ben Haenow (Come Together) - 9.0
Lauren Platt (Clarity) - 7.0
Posted by: Ryan. 29th November 2014, 08:21 PM
Surprised at the negativity for Lauren here, Simon and Louis were completely right in that that's the type of music she'd make in the real world and of course Lauren wasn't fully into the performance considering she was bound to be extremely worried about her vocals - all that considering it was a great performance and one of her best of the series actually. Great song choice and I loved the dance breakdowns with all the dancers

Posted by: ROBOT 29th November 2014, 08:28 PM
Stereo Kicks - 'Just The Way You Are' / 7.5/10 I liked the chorus and at times it felt like quite a moment for them but then on other points, particularly again when two of the weaker singers were left to do solos it felt a bit flat. My favourite performance yet though and one of their better performances. I do agree with Mel in a sense though that the backing vocals are always so loud that I'm always dubious as to how much they're actually singing and harmonising. Worked well for them though. 7.5/10

This is painful, as always. They really need to stop singing ballads like this when only James can carry a song like this. I agree they were drowned out a bit, and Cheryl was right. It's just tiring they just stand and sing a ballad every week.

I honestly can't see anyone else other than her winning right now! Her performances are ALWAYS flawless. Every time! Brave move being given one of Tina's more lesser known songs. Mel and Cheryl are right in that it's not her best, but the amount of effort she gives everything is just second to none! It was great, but we've seen better from her.

Posted by: Liаm 29th November 2014, 08:41 PM
That was a 54 year old song, but she made it feel like a current hit. That was brilliant! That just slayed vocally, performance wise, everything... She HAS to win. She's completely in another league to the others. Not quite as incredible as Olly so I'll refrain from a 10, but wow.

Just becsuse he can hit the notes of the chorus doesn't make up for the hideously boring first minute or so. Wrong song choice completely, hardly anyone can attempt it and it fell a bit flat. I agree that the last bit was vocally flawless, but as usual he just left me a bit cold.

That was (surprisingly) very, VERY good! I liked what he did with it and he didn't push and force his vocals to do that horrible screechy noise he does a lot when he's singing. His falsetto is really nice! I wasn't mad on the verse arrangement (Sia's carribean influenced versus suit the song so much!) but that's my only criticism. My favourite performance of his, by a mile so far.

Andrea 5/10 This could have been so much better and should have been the original pace of the song the whole way through
everyone
Posted by: Dobbo 29th November 2014, 08:53 PM
Just caught up, a very mixed bag first half!
I actually enjoyed Ben's performance (for once), definitely my fave of his so far. Probably helps that I love the song so much!
Lauren's was a bit of a mess sadly, really struggled with those high notes :/
Stereo Kicks' was typically boring and lifeless.
For me Fleur's was average by her usual high standards. Definitely not the best song choice.
Andrea totally bossed it though! Wasn't sure how he'd tackle the track but he nailed it. Loved the falsetto in the early parts.
Posted by: Jonjo 29th November 2014, 08:53 PM
Based on first performances only, it should be a Lauren/Stereo Kicks bottom 2. But, they all have a lot riding on the second song.

Lauren Platt - 'Don't You Worry Child' / 8.5/10 Her best performance in a long while but STILL voice cracks there as there's been for weeks which is NEVER picked up on annoyingly. That really felt like going back to the first few weeks when she performed 'What A Feeling' though, which remains her best performance. A big step up from what was probably her worst performance ever earlier in the night. Still lacking a bit of wow but great anyhow.

06. Lauren Platt - Don't You Worry Child
I'm thinking it'll be the acoustic version/the slower version, but it's another good choice of song. I think we know next years John Lewis advert song already ;D It was very nice, but she just doesn't appeal to me as a popstar, personally. All a bit dull and one dimensional. Nice enough though I guess. Much better than her first performance! It was a nice performance and she did a good job vocally, which is bizarre coz in the first song you could tell she was ill.

Ben Haenow - 'Thinking Out Loud' / 5/10 So much of that was flat and even though I'm not a HUGE fan of the track originally (it is good though), it took away any remote emotion or rawness from it. His voice definitely didn't suit that at all and he really didn't seem to get into the swing of it. Performance 1 was one of my favourites from him, that certainly wasn't, not the right sort of voice for the song. Not the worst of the night however.

Even worse than his first song. He cannot sing ballads, his voice is too exposed with songs like this and I Will Alwyas Love You. He has no emotion to his voice or anything. I like the song, but it's boring if someone who can't carry it sings it. It was flat and nothingy...

Posted by: PaulM1983 29th November 2014, 09:12 PM
Andrea was ok. I didn't find it difficult to understand him at all.
However, his performance used the exact arrangement that they used for Emily West in America's Got Talent. She came 2nd and her version was infinitely better than Andrea's. Her falsetto is pitch perfect and she holds the notes beautifully. His performance just doesn't compare at all.

Stereo Kicks - 'Run' / 9/10 They've actually really pulled it out of the bag tonight RIGHT when they needed to. I must say though, with that performance, my least favourite part of it was James wailing all the time - sometimes it works but in that performance, it was a little bit too much and it worked better with all the harmonies. Tom impressed me there and I'm actually very impressed. A big step up from the past few weeks when I've been quite 'meh' on them (I did love their Everybody performance though).
Posted by: Davidson 29th November 2014, 09:20 PM

That worked far, FAR better than the first song they did. It sounded shouty in moments, especially the lead singer (James? ICR) though. Barclay was the best on that song in Boot Camp, so to see his part cut out was a bit

Fleur East - 'If I Ain't Got You' / 8.5/10 Better, her vocals definitely suit that sort of song by an artist like Alicia Keys a lot better than many she's performed in the past. It just hasn't been her night for me in terms of nailing it, a very good performance but something was still missing there for me. It almost felt like it was over before it'd barely started. It definitely suited her better than the MJ ballad though.

Fleur HAS to win!! 
Posted by: Liаm 29th November 2014, 09:26 PM
Wow. Slay. Slay. Slay. Anyone who stupidly said Fleur can't sing but wolf down a few slices of humble pie, that was a perfect song choice and she totally slayed it. Yet again, miles ahead of the rest - she's ready to be a star now.
Is Mel just picking at eveyrone to make Andrea look better?

That could explain why I'm not in love with her tonight.
Posted by: HausofKubrick 29th November 2014, 09:27 PM
As good as that was i feel like she may be in danger going on crowd reactions. The judges would be foolish not to save her if she is though.

09. Fleur East - If I Ain't Got You
Stunning. One of my favourite songs ever and she did strain slightly in one or two parts, but her voice and tone is just so gorgeous. Wasn't quite the "moment" I was hoping for (her MJ song was my favourite mid-tempo/ballad of hers!) but it WAS better than the first and she is still the only one worth voting for. Such a star etc.. etc..

100% backing Fleur to win this now, she has been consistent every week, I can't really fault her performances, and that performance was probably her best yet.
Posted by: J▼hnkm 29th November 2014, 09:28 PM
She really IS The Beast reloaded, especially tonight
Posted by: troylovesmusic 29th November 2014, 09:29 PM
Loved Fleur tonight but I have an awful feeling she will be in the bottom 2 tomorrow with probably Lauren
Posted by: J▼hnkm 29th November 2014, 09:29 PM
I think SK and Lauren are more in danger given one was dreadful and the other were passable and have been bottom before.

I agree. Looking back her performance of Will You Be There was incredible and one of THE performances of this series.
Posted by: ROBOT 29th November 2014, 09:31 PM
I've agreed with just about everything she's said tonight tbf, aside from the Stereo Kicks first performance criticism. Ben's voice didn't suit Thinking Out Loud, Lauren was off definitely off it in performance 1 and Fleur does have to strain to hit big notes.

Every single act has been better in their second song except Ben, the celebrity mentors were largely terrible It was the usual diva ballad, but he gave it more than he usually does and it just totally worked for me! His best since Somebody To Love for sure!

Posted by: Jonjo 29th November 2014, 09:40 PM
10. Andrea Faustini - Hero
He's such an inconsistent vocalist. He tries far too many tricks and things throughout his performances and as a song that I hold extremely close to my heart, there really wasn't any emotion here! I'm bored of his stuff and find him really, really overrated, especially as a vocalist. Majority of the time he sounds like he's vomiting and I really don't see the appeal. It was good, I guess. But his first performance was by far and away his best!

Posted by: Dobbo 29th November 2014, 09:40 PM
Unsurprisingly I'm voting 5x Andrea, he clearly needs the votes after last week!
As long as he & Fleur (who I'm sure will sail through) go through I'm not particularly fussed on who goes. In an ideal world it'd be Stereo Kicks though.
Posted by: Dobbo 29th November 2014, 09:43 PM
How are they gonna fit 3 guest acts in tomorrow's show?
Posted by: ROBOT 29th November 2014, 09:43 PM
Andrea Faustini - 'Hero' / 9.5/10 It was missing some of the magic that made Chandelier a 10/10 for me but it was still absolutely superb, I love that he's putting more of his falsetto into his performances because it's so perfect and sublime. Nobody could've done that with such emotion and with such on point vocals like he did. He's not always my favourite but I really think he's been streets ahead tonight.
10.0 Andrea Faustini - 'Chandelier'
9.5/10 Andrea Faustini - Hero
9/10 Stereo Kicks - 'Run'
8/10 Fleur East - 'If I Ain't Got You'

Posted by: troylovesmusic 29th November 2014, 09:45 PM
I'm really worried for Fleur this week there is only 5 left I think Ben and Andrea will definitely be safe then it's between Stereo Kicks Lauren and Fleur knowing the UK public I think Stereo Kicks will get through and it will be between Lauren and Fleur in the bottom 2 .
Posted by: Dobbo 29th November 2014, 09:46 PM
Good point, they've definitely thrown the group performance in with a guest act in previous years so surely that's what will happen.
Posted by: PaulM1983 29th November 2014, 09:48 PM
God I hope they don't do that. Adam Lambert can sing each and every one of them off the stage in his sleep. I'd rather they do a medley of some sort.
Posted by: HausofKubrick 29th November 2014, 09:48 PM
5 votes for Stereo Kicks from me.

Got a funny feeling she going to need them, the public could be so fickle sometimes.
Posted by: sammy01 29th November 2014, 10:52 PM
My take -
Ben one really good performance, one that exposed him but easily safe.
Fleur had 2 decent performances, but she never hits the highs that others can, still safe.
Lauren had 1 woeful performance and 1 decent, she looked like the one they were gunning for, gone tomorrow.
SK 1 utterly shit performance, 1 decent performance, could be bottom 2.
Andrea 1 decent performance, one outstanding one, will it be enough to take him above the bottom 2, I would hope so.
Tbh a Ben, Fleur and Andrea final would be the best outcome from here and I think the only chance of Fleur winning, as Ben and Andrea will split the mum vote.
Posted by: jase. 30th November 2014, 12:41 AM
Sadly I think Fleur and Lauren will be in the bottom 2 with it going to deadlock where Fleur will probably go
Obviously Stereo Kicks need to leave. They were AWFUL

Posted by: Dobbo 30th November 2014, 01:30 AM
I'm confident Fleur will be fine. Bottom 2 will be Lauren with either Andrea/SK. If SK are bottom 2 the judges will definitely save them so the only interesting sing-off will be Lauren Vs. Andrea.
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 01:35 AM
As far as I can see Andrea is the highest on itunes so far with Chandelier, which is interesting.
edit - excluding SK who are always highest #fangirls #giftcards lol
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 02:51 AM
Chandelier seems to have given Andrea a boost where he has been struggling recently on itunes and youtube views. It is the 2nd most watched performance so far only behind Ben who is the main page video on X factor youtube so gets played automatically.
It is the first modern song he has done isn't it? It might have been what he needed to get some younger fans onside.
Posted by: euro music 30th November 2014, 11:48 AM
My Bottom 2 would be:
Stereo Kicks: There isn't one decent voice between them. 2 disastrous performances
Simon only rates them because he put them together and Louis because they're his act - just a bunch morons acting like 14 year olds who appeal to 10 year old girls. 
Andrea: 1 disastrous performance and one so-so. He acts and talks so girlie though.
For me now the final show should be:
Winner - Fleur
2nd - Ben
3rd - Lauren
I think Fleur is the only one who has realistic chance of a lengthy career - maybe Ben
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 12:08 PM
Ben is like a mash-up of Matt Cardle and Shayne Ward imo. But Matt Cardle had an incredible voice (and was much more attractive) and Shayne did too (and obviously is infinitely hotter). But I really can't see him being much more successful than maybe James Arthur, regardless of the fact I'm not a fan of his.
Tbh I'm not sure Fleur even would smash or anything. She'd do the best out of the five left though I imagine.
It is the first modern song he has done isn't it? It might have been what he needed to get some younger fans onside.
Ah yes, the only 21st century he's performed aside from Chandlier is Listen
He might have been a Sam Bailey obvious esque winner if Mel handled him like this all along. Personally I wasn't all that taken by it and much preferred Hero, but it was getting quite boring that he just sang diva ballads in the standard Andrea way every week (aside from Relight My Fire which was still dated).
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 12:18 PM
Fleur for everyone's talk about her being a popstar and the one to have a career after the show has been doing woeful on itunes recently. Everyone else has both their songs in the top 200 from last night, and everyone has at least 1 in the top 100 apart from Fleur who has non in the top 200.
She also has the 2 least watch vids from last night on youtube and not by small margins either.
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 12:29 PM
I know itunes isn't always indicative but I really think it'll be Lauren and Fleur in the bottom 2 Knowing this show, Fleur will somehow go too
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 12:40 PM
I think this week we will see how big Fleur, SK and Lauren's fanbases are as I think Ben is easily safe and Andrea had a good night. Fleur has had about 6 weeks of pimping and they laid off it last night and she was largely forgotten, so I cant see last night picking up any floating votes, same with Lauren and SK.
Just because it would be amazing to see Simon foiled, I'd love to see a Fleur vs SK bottom 2.
Posted by: troylovesmusic 30th November 2014, 12:49 PM
Yeah this is the first week I've been really worried about Fleur I really think she could be in the bottom 2 but I really hope not
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 12:52 PM
There is no way the judges will send Fleur home, but her being bottom 2 when Ben and SK both had one shockingly horrendous performance each and she smashed both is ridiculous. I don't think Andrea deserves to e bottom 2 either, I wasn't a huge fan of Chandelier but Hero was brilliant and vocally he smashed both. He might be a bit boring but he'd still be in my preferred final 3.
Watching back Lauren's, I overrated Clairry a bit and she was very shaky but I personally loved her performance of Don't Youl Worry Child. I won't be too annoyed if she's bottom 2 because it's so obvious it's going to happen and I've been expecting her to perhaps fall into the bottom since about week 5! But Fleur in the bottom is just ridiculous.
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 01:12 PM
Can we just get rid of Louis already, he did nothing last night but compliment everyone and agreed with Simon about everything. He might as well not have been there.
Posted by: -Jay- 30th November 2014, 05:10 PM
Idk.
~~
As per usual Fleur was the star of the night for me.
A excellent night for Andrea too - his performance of 'Hero' was particularly stunning. Across two devices I gave 9 votes to Fleur and 1 to Andrea. I'll be gutted if Fleur is bottom 2. I hope the bottom 2 tonight is Lauren vs Stereo Kicks. Sorry to fans of Lauren, but I wouldn't mind at all if she went. Louis keeps calling her the "perfect little popstar" and I think she's far from that in many respects. Her voice is getting gradually worse and less special, and her stage presence is virtually zero. She's become disappointing.
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 05:13 PM
Even I think Lauren is hardly "the perfect little popstar" and I love her I swear Louis would say even Susan Boyle was the perfect popstar if she entered The X Factor, he's really been on autopilot this series more than usual it seems.
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 06:06 PM
Louis more than anyone else is in in the joke about it all now. The show is less about finding a viable popstar, none of this crop are likely to sell very well, probably Sam Bailey levels at most, and more about entertainment. He knows that spouting ridiculous nonsense that bears no relation to what just happened on stage is the easiest way he can get people talking/rile them up/laughing, whatever they want to be entertained.
Posted by: Jason 30th November 2014, 07:59 PM
I got a feeling that the bottom 2 will be between Lauren and Fleur.
Posted by: Martyn 30th November 2014, 08:00 PM
So the top 5 will perform (probably a medley) with Queen and Adam Lambert.
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 08:02 PM
I am almost sure it's Lauren and Fleur.
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 08:03 PM
You are probably right, but in that case Lauren is absolutely gone.
Posted by: Dobbo 30th November 2014, 08:04 PM
I think Lauren & Stereo Kicks with the judges saving SK.

Ben for a shock bottom 2 placing is my dream but that's the least likely

Posted by: Santa Martin 30th November 2014, 08:13 PM
I fear for Lauren tonight, either her or SK.
If Fleur is bottom 2 the judges will save her, unless they vote off the strongest competition

Did they just not do any stats for Union J at all.
Posted by: gooddelta 30th November 2014, 08:19 PM
Not heard this before, it's actually their best single yet by a mile.
Posted by: ClausofKubrick 30th November 2014, 08:19 PM
This sounds pleasant enough on first listen.
And better performers than 1D based on their performance and this
Posted by: Santa Martin 30th November 2014, 08:19 PM
Good grief, this is bland as anything, just an average pop ballad.
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 08:19 PM
Wow they have gone all out staging wise with this Union J song, choir, raining fire, thought it would be cheap as anything.
Posted by: Calum Hood 30th November 2014, 08:19 PM
That was gorgeous! Not as much as George though.
Posted by: Rooney 30th November 2014, 08:20 PM
First time I've heard that too. Can probably see why they've been given a spot on the show, it's very mum-friendly.
Posted by: Hayzayy 30th November 2014, 08:20 PM
The vocals were amazing but the song is average, which is a shame cause I love them
Posted by: BuzzLightyear 30th November 2014, 08:21 PM
no surprise to see they included youtube hits!
Posted by: Parallel Reality 30th November 2014, 08:21 PM
That was actually a pretty good performance!!
I would like any of Stereo Kicks, Ben or Lauren to be in the bottom two, with either Stereo Kicks or Lauren going.
Posted by: Martyn 30th November 2014, 08:22 PM
So after the break we will have the results? Well actually half of them. We will leave three people and wait till after Ella has sung to tell you who the third safe person is and act like this is some kind of massive shock twist.
Posted by: Jester 30th November 2014, 08:23 PM
Union J were really good - great song as well 
Posted by: Saint Maurice 30th November 2014, 08:24 PM
Posted by: BuzzLightyear 30th November 2014, 08:25 PM
Stereo Kicks will definitely go tonight.
btw Adam Lambert was amazing.
Posted by: Hayzayy 30th November 2014, 08:25 PM
And the "4 BOYS" screen was surely the biggest moment of the video
Poor boys

not a fan of that Westlife Union J song on first listen, their vocals weren't bad though

Bye Bye Lauren.

Can we just send both of Lauren and SK home and have the final a week early, cheers.
Posted by: Calum Hood 30th November 2014, 08:28 PM
tbh.

Lauren
Posted by: jase. 30th November 2014, 08:29 PM
DELIGHTED that Fleur has been saved
Simon and Louis will save Stereo Kicks, Mel and Cheryl will save Lauren. Deadlock = Lauren going
Posted by: Martyn 30th November 2014, 08:29 PM
Or not...
Anyway are we seriously having another advert?
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 08:29 PM
Yay Fleur
Death to Lauren
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 08:29 PM
Calling deadlock, Mel to side with Cheryl and Simon to keep his cash cow in.
Posted by: Hayzayy 30th November 2014, 08:29 PM
If Lauren goes home I stop watching the show and I take Cheryl away from this mess too.
Posted by: BuzzLightyear 30th November 2014, 08:30 PM
I agree with that bottom two.
Poor boys
lol yep.
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 08:30 PM
Thank God Fleur is safe!
Ben though, ugh
Posted by: ClausofKubrick 30th November 2014, 08:30 PM
Lauren to go please. That 'Clarity' performance was laughably bad.
Posted by: BuzzLightyear 30th November 2014, 08:31 PM
Stereo Kicks are as good as gone tbh, Lauren fans need not be upset.
Posted by: Santa Martin 30th November 2014, 08:32 PM
Lauren to go, with Stereo Kicks leaving the show next week.
Posted by: troylovesmusic 30th November 2014, 08:32 PM
Can both of these two just go please I'm worried whoever stays will get a rebound vote next week. We would have a pretty decent final with Fleur Andrea and Ben.
Posted by: Dobbo 30th November 2014, 08:33 PM
What is with all these terrible compilations? You could buy 2 of them and half of the songs would be on both...
Posted by: Martyn 30th November 2014, 08:34 PM
I seriously can't see Simon allowing Cheryl to lose all four of her acts first. Not when if Stereo Kicks go Louis would be actless.
Sounds like the bottom 3 or 4 were very close.
Posted by: Envoirment 30th November 2014, 08:35 PM
Oh wow, so only 800 votes separating 3rd and 4th.
Posted by: Saint Maurice 30th November 2014, 08:36 PM
Queen Ella
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 08:36 PM
I agree, I kind of hope SK survive because no way could they get through another sing off next week no matter who against.
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 08:36 PM
Whoever stays will just be bottom 2 again next week if there's a sing off, like Luke Friend did.
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 08:37 PM
I'm fairly certain Fleur will have been third, very lucky
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 08:38 PM
Not feeling this Ella single, hopefully it builds up to something good
Posted by: Dobbo 30th November 2014, 08:38 PM
I don't think much of the song but beautifully sang nonetheless. To think she finished behind Union J that year
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 08:39 PM
Ok, it didn't. Very dull.
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 08:39 PM
Guest performance of the series
Posted by: Calum Hood 30th November 2014, 08:40 PM
That was f***ing awful.
Posted by: Envoirment 30th November 2014, 08:40 PM
Ella's song is nice. Hopefully will go top 10 off that performance but think it might miss out as its streaming isn't very strong. Should give her album a nice boost though!
Posted by: Hayzayy 30th November 2014, 08:40 PM
This was a bit of a non-event, the song is flat.
Posted by: Connor. 30th November 2014, 08:40 PM
Ella showing them all how it's done.
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 08:41 PM
It was so nice that little chat with Ella, it is refreshing as she sounded like just one of us.
Posted by: مدهش* 30th November 2014, 08:41 PM
Is that really the next best song on Ella's album?!!!
It's kind of pleasant but sounds very much like it should be left as an album track to me.
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 08:42 PM
Shame Ghost seems like the exception rather than the rule with Ella's material.
Posted by: BuzzLightyear 30th November 2014, 08:43 PM
She's a good example of how you don't even need to make the final or get anywhere near to do well. Number 1 album & single. Good album btw.
Posted by: jase. 30th November 2014, 08:44 PM
Such a lovely, understated performance.
Posted by: Dobbo 30th November 2014, 08:44 PM
Agreed. That song is exceptional beyond anything she'll probably ever release... but a strong debut can work wonders for career longevity (1D, Leona, Olly etc...)
Posted by: Santa Martin 30th November 2014, 08:44 PM
Fairly average performance from Ella, Yours is not really one of her best tracks on the album from what I've heard, but decent enough.
Posted by: Martyn 30th November 2014, 08:44 PM
I've noticed on twitter people are moaning about how Union J lasted longer than Ella did in 2012. They seem to be missing that Rylan outlasted Ella as well.
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 08:45 PM
There aren't actually that many piano ballads on Chapter One, Ghost and Glow are a better indication of the album.
I love Yours though
Posted by: Envoirment 30th November 2014, 08:45 PM
It's kind of pleasant but sounds very much like it should be left as an album track to me.
Her album isn't that great imo. She has a big standout ("Ghost") and then a handful of nice/decent tracks. The rest is a bit boring/below average. I like Ella though, so hope her album will manage to go platinum. But Ella being with Syco I'm not sure how her second album will go. Leona was treated really badly by Syco so hope the same doesn't happen to Ella!
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 08:46 PM
Unless she finds another killer track I very much see a Leona type career for her, where momentum and interest just keeps dwindling and everyone hopes for that next Bleeding Love and it never comes.
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 08:47 PM
Omg her audition song <3
I don't think it matters though, the judges will save SK
Posted by: Jester 30th November 2014, 08:47 PM
Ooh unexpected song from Hairspray for Lauren!
Posted by: BuzzLightyear 30th November 2014, 08:47 PM
Mirror Man might have been a better choice, but I like Yours as well, it's a good album, surprised me.
Posted by: Toby 30th November 2014, 08:47 PM
Some dodgy vocals here.
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 08:48 PM
This sing off begs the question, why doesn't she sing like this on the actual show
Posted by: Martyn 30th November 2014, 08:48 PM
What song even was that?
Posted by: Dobbo 30th November 2014, 08:48 PM
That was actually really good! Like to think she's pulled it out the bag so it should at the very least go to deadlock now.
Posted by: Parallel Reality 30th November 2014, 08:48 PM
I actually thought Lauren did very well there, and I'm not even usually a fan of hers!
Posted by: Calum Hood 30th November 2014, 08:48 PM
exactly what I was thinking!
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 08:49 PM
Lauren just cant go a whole performance without going off key at points. It was decent but I just switched off during it.
Posted by: Jester 30th November 2014, 08:49 PM
I Know Where I've Been from Hairspray.
Posted by: Santa Martin 30th November 2014, 08:50 PM
I think I just visited a wake.
Posted by: Envoirment 30th November 2014, 08:50 PM
Well, Leona's with a new label now (she had a lot of issues with Syco). So hopefully she'll do well with her next album. She proved she's still capable of producing hits with "One More Sleep".
Also,
"I Won't Give Up" to go top 10 off of Stereo Kick's performance. Lauren's sing off was really good!
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 08:50 PM
Omg some proper shocking vocals here
Posted by: Jonjo 30th November 2014, 08:50 PM
That was the best Lauren has ever sounded! BRILLIANT!
WOO. 'I Won't Give Up' for top 20 again
Posted by: Martyn 30th November 2014, 08:50 PM
Thanks, I didn't think I'd ever heard it before and that explains why.

Lauren was better than I was expecting. This whatevertheyrecalled boy band are awful though.
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 08:51 PM
SK average until James took over, like the same as everyone of their performances.
Posted by: Dobbo 30th November 2014, 08:51 PM
That was dreadful. Only 1 winner in my view but sadly I don't think it'll pan out that way.
Posted by: Envoirment 30th November 2014, 08:51 PM
I hope Stereo Kicks go out, their performance was worse than Lauren's.
Posted by: Calum Hood 30th November 2014, 08:51 PM
Stereo Kicks were awful, but Lauren just really needs to go for the lols.
Posted by: Parallel Reality 30th November 2014, 08:51 PM
After that, Lauren should stay IMO, but I think it'll go to deadlock.
Posted by: Hayzayy 30th November 2014, 08:51 PM
This performance tends to show how all of their harmonies are usually backed/mimed, and when they do it themselves, it's awful.
Posted by: Santa Martin 30th November 2014, 08:52 PM
Oh god that was as painful as watching paint dry.
SK to go please on that performance.
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 08:52 PM
100% gonna be deadlock, and Lauren will go.
Posted by: Jester 30th November 2014, 08:52 PM
Queen Latifa sang it in Hairspray - great song and Lauren sang it well.
Posted by: Calum Hood 30th November 2014, 08:52 PM
OMG didn't expect that from Mel LMAOOOOOOOO
Posted by: Jester 30th November 2014, 08:53 PM
If Stereo Kicks go I hope the lead singer gets a solo career.

Dermot is such a cock.

Lauren gone next week please, bye.
Posted by: Martyn 30th November 2014, 08:56 PM
It's about time they went. Over hyped for no real reason. I expect by the time they are "launched" to the public the two youngest ones, especially the 14 year old will be gone and there will only be six of them.
At this stage of the competition they really should just be eliminating the bottom contestant.
Posted by: ► ▲ N T ▲ 30th November 2014, 08:56 PM
OMG YES I really thought Lauren would go - what a good surprise!
Stereo Kicks' singoff perf was more awful than usual so glad they're out now
Posted by: Santa Martin 30th November 2014, 08:57 PM
Well they had to go sometime, I think Lauren will go next week, I can't see her getting the rebound vote, as the other 3 are the strongest in the competition.
Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 30th November 2014, 08:57 PM

Sam Bailey next week. Guess she's promoting her album from earlier this year? Performance could help push it towards platinum.
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 08:58 PM
Lauren was miles better in the sing off though, and she will absolutely be gone next week so I'm not too worried

Idina Menzil.. a little reaction (Her special guest is Michael Buble btw)
and Sam Bailey meh

Sam a Bailey back next week then. Presumably singing her new single Skyscraper (2014 extra key change re-edit)
Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 30th November 2014, 09:00 PM
Is idina performing next week
Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 09:00 PM
Can we not have Louis judging for the SF and F now cus he is just going to compliment everyone and back whoever Simon tells him, seriously just put a whiteboard with some cliche quotes written on it in his chair and be done with it.
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 09:01 PM
Fifth Harmony <3 I love a bit of Idina too. Sam Bailey is fine too but nothing to be too excited over.
She has a re-release out btw so she'll be promoting that.
I'm in car and this is the first bit of 4G I have for in ages. Please be a miracle and Lauren survives
And was ella good?
Stereo Kicks went
And yes she slayed <3
Posted by: Dobbo 30th November 2014, 09:01 PM
Really looking forward to Fifth Harmony's performance! The others... less so.
Posted by: Martyn 30th November 2014, 09:01 PM
Her re-release of The Power Of Love (The Gift Edition) is out tomorrow so it will be to promote that.
With Fifth Harmony getting a slot, it just makes it all that more sore that The Saturdays were never able to get a slot.
Posted by: jase. 30th November 2014, 09:01 PM
Fifth Harmony, Idina Menzel, and Sam Bailey?!?!?! Possibly THE worst guest performer line-up in X-Factor HISTORY 
Stereo Kicks going made my night Ben to go next plz.

Posted by: BuzzLightyear 30th November 2014, 09:02 PM

Posted by: Toby 30th November 2014, 09:07 PM
You mean Barclay obvs.
Posted by: BuzzLightyear 30th November 2014, 09:07 PM
Fifth Harmony have good voices but their songs are so bad. Definitely a poor mans Little Mix. One of Simon's little projects. They're quite popular in the US tbf.
Posted by: Calum Hood 30th November 2014, 09:07 PM
I don't know her.
Posted by: Dobbo 30th November 2014, 09:07 PM
Not just top 40 I wouldn't be surprised if it finally rose to top 10!
Posted by: Liаm 30th November 2014, 09:08 PM
James looks like an anteater.
They are
They were created from soloists in X Factor US, they were in Simon's category and came 3rd. They have a huge fanbase online randomly. They're all really really good vocalists though!"Metzel"!!
She's singing with a "special guest" so I'm like 100% sure it's gonna be Baby It's Cold Outside with Michael Buble.
They must have blown the budget on people the final though with a line-up like that. I mean I love 5H and Idina but Jesus
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 09:09 PM
Good boy
Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th November 2014, 09:10 PM

She's singing with a "special guest" so I'm like 100% sure it's gonna be Baby It's Cold Outside with Michael Buble.

Posted by: sammy01 30th November 2014, 09:19 PM
Yep that performance is way better than anything Jack or Jake did. I feel he was put into SK because they needed a great singer, shame really.
Posted by: BuzzLightyear 30th November 2014, 09:36 PM
Yeah that plus I don't think they thought he was good looking enough as well. I mean he's miles better than Jake Quickenden. Would he have survived though? I dunno, Paul went quite early.

Surely Fleur as this in the bag now? I'd be shocked if she didn't win now.

Nah. It'll be Ben who wins. I'm thinking...
01. Ben
02. Andrea
03. Fleur >> Although this will depend on who she gets as her duet partner! <<
04. Lauren >> Maybe a rebound vote can get her in the final though! <<

It's close, and I agree it could come down to the duet partners even. Lauren could make it to the final over Andrea maybe if she really pulls it off again next week like she did in the sing-off tonight, depending on whether they decide to have a sing-off again next week... I just hope Ben and Andrea are splitting the mum vote so the former doesn't win.

Seriously do not see anybody other than Ben winning (thank god). Fleur gives me 3rd place vibes.

I'd say Ben is the really safe bet to win this now. And then I'd agree with Liam's rank for the rest too.
It HAS to be Fleur for me though. To think, i thought she'd be first or second to leave and she hasn't even been bottom 2 yet she's surpassed her expectations and then some!

I think Ben and Fleur will be top 2, I think Fleur would probably be more successful then Ben after the show. But who knows public decide so wouldn't be shocked if Ben won.

Fleur really needs Andrea in the final not Lauren. I feel like Lauren and Fleur share more of a fanbase and Ben and Andrea do too. So if I think the final goes how I expect, 5 votes then 5 more after 3rd has left Saturday night, she needs Lauren not there as those voters voting for Lauren and leaving 3rd will be wasted votes. Where as if Fleur is the only female I feel she will lap up all those votes Lauren would have got.
It is also the same for Ben and Andrea sharing the mum vote, so it would be beneficial for her to have Ben and Andrea split those Saturday night votes.

Shocked by tonight's result in terms of Simon taking it to deadlock and Stereo Kicks losing out - very surprising considering everything they've done to keep them in. First time this series that something has gone against the conspiracy theories, and I'm glad that they did!

I think once you hit bottom 2 for a third time it is over, there isn't really a way they can justify keeping an act then. They did take it to deadlock though, even though Lauren was better in the sing off and her first bottom 2 vs SK third.
It is between Lauren and Andrea for who makes the final with Ben and Fleur, I wonder if potential guest performers with the artists might play a role as to who they put their weight behind out of those 2. I think Andrea could potentially pull a big name to sing with him, where as I cant think of a single guest artist yet that has even acknowledge Lauren's existence.

The first theme is unplugged. On X Factor US and Australian idol where I've seen it, that's basically just a minimalist performance with just a guitar or piano.
Another reason to be thankful that it was SK who went then

Thank You Simon for at last helping to get rid of those morons. I think Mel B & Louis must be tone deaf.
Louis says they are consistant every week. He should mean consistently bad
Lauren's sing-off was flawless. Best I've heard her sing. If she sings like that next week she could be a dark horse.
Also Ella Henderson definitely put Union J to shame. Ella's now selling all over the world but Union J only UK & Ireland.
