Theme: Big Band
Guests: Nicole Scherzinger & Olly Murs

Posted by: Calum Hood 9th November 2014, 02:26 PM

can we at least try and finish live show 5 first.

Posted by: Dobbo 9th November 2014, 02:39 PM

Although I always find Big Bang week pretty pointless, it normally means the contestants have to showcase their vocals more so the real standout performers are always more evident.

2 shots for every time you hear "out of my/your comfort zone"...

The race to open an X Factor thread

Posted by: Liаm 9th November 2014, 02:44 PM

They could be quite clever and make this theme a bit more current... There are a lot of current songs with prominent horn/brass led parts (for example Crazy Stupid Love and Problem) that they could "big band"ify a bit like Emeli Sandé did with Crazy In Love in The Great Gatsby. That would make it a bit more current than the usual Feeling Good, Bewitched, Ain't That A Kick In The Head and Cry Me A River, but of course they won't do that.

Lady Gaga's version of Bang Bang for Lauren *.* Or Patsy Cline's Walking After Midnight, not proper big band I know but it would fit the set-up.

Posted by: Timmy SZN 9th November 2014, 04:49 PM

Fleur to do Problem including the Iggy rap *.*

I always liked Big Band week, but it seems a bit uninspired as usual

Posted by: PixieLott 9th November 2014, 05:14 PM

I wonder who will do 'Feeling Good'?

Posted by: Lukuzz 9th November 2014, 05:17 PM

Can't wait for Nicole to slay everyone when she performs Run next Sunday

Posted by: Jade 9th November 2014, 05:40 PM

Probably Lauren like a Carly Rose Sonenclar from X Factor USA version

Posted by: Dobbo 9th November 2014, 06:48 PM

Ben will probably do Feeling Good, and butcher it.

Posted by: Nick F1 9th November 2014, 09:33 PM

OMG i'm living just for next Sunday, slay Nicole

Posted by: Toby 9th November 2014, 09:53 PM

Poor Paul is devastated.

Posted by: Liаm 9th November 2014, 10:32 PM

Fleur needs to sing Candyman or Ain't No Other Man.

Alexandra did the former in big band week and both have a cabaret/jazzy/swing feel! She maybe shouldn't do the same song as Alexandra but Ain't No Other Man could fit into Big Band and it'd be amazing, plus slightly more modern than the usual clichés.

Posted by: Jack 9th November 2014, 10:45 PM

LOL Nicole "Tens of albums sold!"

Crazy In Love or Aint No Other Man would be good for Fleur. Toxic Glee style would have been perfect for Only The Young but Chloe already performed it . Not sure what they can do actually, hope it isnt something too cliche.

Posted by: Liаm 9th November 2014, 10:49 PM

I bet Lauren will get Feeling Good. Cheryl really hasn't been too imaginative with her choices for her, except Dark Horse...

Hit The Road Jack would be good for OTY!

And omg yes Emeli Sandé's version of Crazy In Love would be amazing for Fleur This doesn't seem like a theme that would fit her but there are so many good choices for her. She could do Proud Mary or River Deep Mountain High too!

Posted by: Jonjo 10th November 2014, 12:04 AM

Andrea to do 'Summertime' or 'Feeling Good' I suspect.

Posted by: euro music 12th November 2014, 04:48 PM

Another pointless theme - I'll give this one a miss

WOT - No Michael Buble on Big Band Night results show - That Must Be A First!!!

Posted by: sammy01 12th November 2014, 11:04 PM

I hate big band week, just that kind of music does nothing for me and seeing OTY, Stevi and SK butcher that kind of music is even worse.

Posted by: euro music 14th November 2014, 05:10 PM

DELETED!!

Posted by: euro music 14th November 2014, 05:14 PM

What have Proud Mary or River Deep Mountain High got to to with Big Band Week
Proud Mary is a country rock song and River Deep Mountain High a Phil Spector song. - Both these are 60s
Big Band is 40s - Sinatra - Glenn Miller - Sammy Davis Jr. Ella Fitzgerald - Bing Crosby - Mills Brothers - Ink Spots - Andrews Sisters etc.

Posted by: Liаm 14th November 2014, 05:16 PM

Yes I know but you do realise how loosely X Factor uses themes right? Anything that has big band instruments in it or can be arranged as such will pass!

Posted by: euro music 14th November 2014, 05:22 PM

I don't see how this had big band instruments in it.

Posted by: Calum Hood 14th November 2014, 05:59 PM

And how many times have we heard any of the above on the show?

Posted by: ░░░░ 14th November 2014, 06:05 PM

it's not so much big band artists as big band backing track

Posted by: Cameron 14th November 2014, 06:10 PM

Someone could possibly do 'Only Love Can Hurt Like This?'

Posted by: euro music 14th November 2014, 06:27 PM

That's why the theme is such a farse.

Posted by: sammy01 15th November 2014, 08:17 PM

Kind of dreading tonight, not my kind of music at all.

this song really showcases his vocal talent, definitely a return to form for him

8.5/10 Andrea Faustini - Summetime

Posted by: MauriceStoran 15th November 2014, 08:24 PM

This is dire.

Posted by: -Jay- 15th November 2014, 08:24 PM

So Andreas is on first while Strictly is still on, will this impact on him negatively?

Posted by: J▼hnkm 15th November 2014, 08:25 PM

Ugh, this is essentially another chance for him to SHOUT WORDS AT ME

Posted by: Liаm 15th November 2014, 08:25 PM

Absolutely nobody can touch Fantasia's performance of this on American Idol in 2003, not even Leona. That was quite good, vocally on point as always so I can't fault him there. It was just a bit shouty for this song I think, I know it's a really tough song to sing but he didn't have the emotional connection (which I actually felt was more present last week). Still, a great performance overall.

01 Andrea Faustini - Summertime 7.5/10

Posted by: sammy01 15th November 2014, 08:25 PM

Yas get that cert

Posted by: JosephOdell 15th November 2014, 08:25 PM

That was really meh from Andrea, good vocally but quite boring and no light and shade.

05.0 Andrea Faustini

Pretty much safe performance, sounded he was in his comfort zone with that performance 4/10

Posted by: MauriceStoran 15th November 2014, 08:26 PM

It was Viva Forever Mel.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 15th November 2014, 08:26 PM

WHY OH WHY do they feel the need to thrust this theme of DOOM upon us so often.

Posted by: Dobbo 15th November 2014, 08:26 PM

Very assuring performance, looked in his element up there actually. Vocally on point.

Posted by: sammy01 15th November 2014, 08:28 PM

So it is defo trying to at least put a dent in Andrea this week, as he is probably too safe to be in danger. Simon's comments were predicted on Sofabet that Smion would compare it to Leona negatively.

Posted by: -Jay- 15th November 2014, 08:28 PM

Her Spice memory is so blurry! Maybe not as bad as Emma's.

Posted by: Dobbo 15th November 2014, 08:29 PM

Entire ad break for the Sainsbury's one! Better than John Lewis.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 15th November 2014, 08:33 PM

That ad would have been amazing if it wasn't from SAINSBURY'S.

Posted by: sammy01 15th November 2014, 08:33 PM

At least loads of people are tweeting that Viva Forever video with Pavarotti, get those sales <3

Posted by: Liаm 15th November 2014, 08:34 PM

I'm really worried for Lauren this week. I very much doubt she'll go but I worry she's going to be in shock bottom 2. Fingers crossed she smashes it somehow!

Posted by: Cameron 15th November 2014, 08:35 PM

Isn't that the exact set Diana used?

Posted by: sammy01 15th November 2014, 08:35 PM

Lauren is beyond boring with a thin voice and small range, I would love for her to be in the bottom 2.

Posted by: Envoirment 15th November 2014, 08:36 PM

Missed Andrea, was watching stictly. Lauren sounded nice, but it was so bland. No spark or anything. 6/10

Posted by: Dobbo 15th November 2014, 08:37 PM

She sang very well there, better than I first thought it would be!

Posted by: MauriceStoran 15th November 2014, 08:37 PM

Exactly lol

Posted by: MauriceStoran 15th November 2014, 08:37 PM

8/10.

Nice enough I guess? A bit boring but she sang well.

07.0 Lauren Platt
05.0 Andrea Faustini

Posted by: J▼hnkm 15th November 2014, 08:38 PM

That was fine, definitely better than last week, but she really isn't as good as she/they think she is

Posted by: J▼hnkm 15th November 2014, 08:39 PM

Given she was sat down there was no excuse for not being perfect

Posted by: J▼hnkm 15th November 2014, 08:40 PM

Hopefully being on third is enough for Jay to be bottom 2 again/GO AWAY FOREVER

Posted by: Liаm 15th November 2014, 08:40 PM

Vocally captivating, but I agree a bit with Simon (again)... It wasn't her best by any means, this theme doesn't allow for much leeway but tbh she needs more exciting song choices. Let It Go, Smile and I'll Be There were all hugely predictable. But she captivates me with her voice every time regardless, she proves you don't need to prance around or have distracting sets or anything. Still, I'm worried she'll be bottom 2 as that wasn't very exciting admittedly.

01 Lauren Platt - Smile 9/10
02 Andrea Faustini - Summertime 7.5/10


(I say as I still give her 9/10)

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 15th November 2014, 08:40 PM

I suppose that was alright, but it didn't grab me 5/10

did you know Jay had a family? What a rarity.

Jay James trying to look young and down with the kids is tragic in that VT.

Posted by: Cameron 15th November 2014, 08:48 PM

Jay's voice is far too weak for Big Band

Posted by: Liаm 15th November 2014, 08:48 PM

I was thinking "Christ they haven't mentioned the navy yet" halfway through and then he shoves his bloody wife and kid in our faces!

Posted by: J▼hnkm 15th November 2014, 08:49 PM

He looks incredibly sleazy dressed like that. Not that he doesn't always look vile.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 15th November 2014, 08:49 PM

He's just a simple family man, who was in the navy, and isn't afraid to SHOVE IT DOWN OUR THROATS EVERY WEEK, lest we forget what a service to humanity he is/has been.

Posted by: Envoirment 15th November 2014, 08:52 PM

Was that all? I was hoping it would have been much better. Was rather bland and I was hoping he would have done more with "Empire State Of Mind". And what was with that American accent? 4/10

Posted by: Liаm 15th November 2014, 08:52 PM

Slightly less painful than last week, but then having a cold is less painful than being struck down by the flu. Very karaoke but at least he sounded slightly better than he usually does. Still very karaoke, this is not a Stars In Their Eyes Frank Sinatra special!!

Where to start, mime their chorus, cant do anything for 2000's on wards, gave the worst performance in the sing off ever (when they couldn't mime the chorus), the blonde girls voice is horrible, they have zero chance of selling records and they are the sort of thing you see at Butlins.

That enough for you?

Posted by: Cameron 15th November 2014, 09:01 PM

That was brilliant! I loved it, so much fun. It's good to hear the boys lead, because it meant that vocally it was generally a lot tighter and there weren't many bum notes or anything. As I keep saying,this fun vibe is great for them.

Actually loved Only the Young this week. They're fun but not quiiiite a novelty act.

16! That's why Charlie is the only one who is usually missing from The Xtra Factor, because he's the only one under 16.

A great, fun performance from Only The Young!

OTY have great energy and look forward to them the most now with Ben but that wasn't as good as the past two weeks. Still hope they survive a few more weeks and hopefully beat Stereo Kicks whilst they are at it.

Hmm. Ok the Stevi joke is over now. Awful.

Stevi has one dance move and it reminds me of crab.

She's in a completely different league to the other contestants.

Posted by: sammy01 15th November 2014, 09:46 PM

Did Fleur really just say herself she had a moment? I'm convinced Simon has told her he wants her in the final and will give her her 'moment' tonight and she is fully happy to go along with it (as any one would).

Posted by: Ryan. 15th November 2014, 11:23 PM

Only The Young were once again amazing, great vocals and loved the dance in the middle - couldn't stop smiling! Fleur was my second favourite once again.

Bottom two prediction for tomorrow at the moment is Jay and Stereo Kicks, with Stevi and Lauren next closest to being in danger. I'm hoping the fact Only The Young didn't drop into the bottom 2 again last week (despite not having the "rebound vote") means they are gaining support, and tonight's performance seems to be being very well received!

Posted by: -Jay- 16th November 2014, 12:32 AM

Fleur is not too far off taking Jay & Andrea's like totals, hopefully she'll overtake.

6176 - Lauren
4970 - Only The Young
4617 - Jay

Perhaps Andrea is in danger? His photo was up a lot earlier than Fleur's & Stevi's.

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 12:40 AM

Andrea was on last last week and by this point it was flying up the likes list, into about 4th or 3rd.

I've just read the popjustice thread on tonight and even thr moron's over there who worship anything a female does weren't praising Fleur. I doubt she is in danger, as the good work the producers, sorry I mean Fleur has put in in previous weeks will carry them along.

Jay should in theory get a bounce but I just don't see it, he is dead cert for bottom 2 for me, it is just who of OTY, Stevi, SK or possibly Lauren will join him.

Posted by: ROBOT 16th November 2014, 03:12 AM

Although it was still one of my favourite performances of the night, because there were great parts (the rap, the arrangement, the performance element) to it, I have to agree. It really wasn't a 10/10 moment for me because her voice WAS strained at times and she actually went flat on the majority of her 'runs'. I was waiting to see if she could hit the "bad girl to blow your mind" big moment before the final chorus... and it wasn't there.

I want to really really love Fleur because she's ALMOST everything I want in an X Factor contestant and I'm glad she's still in the competition because she's such a rarity for the show to find someone so ready and polished and current - but her vocals are becoming a problem for me, they were weak in Thriller, they were basic last week and they were weak tonight; something I didn't really feel was the case in bootcamp or the first two/three weeks. It's frustrating because it sounds like her vocals are going downhill.

Posted by: Jack 16th November 2014, 09:00 AM

You say this, but you worship anything a good looking male does seemingly. You stanned over JAKE f***ING QUICKENDEN.

Do not try to act like you are holier than thou and play the double standard card, your comments on here regarding X Factor are very tiring. By all means have your own opinion but the ridiculous conspiracy theories as to why your faves get eliminated (theyre just shit) and how females get fawned over no matter what is soooo boring. X Factor threads have become a chore to read because of you tbh.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 16th November 2014, 10:08 AM

If Andrea is in the bottom 2 with Jay tonight, Jay is most likely gone out of the two, the other judges will save Andrea.

I do think Fleur's main competition is Andrea. If Andrea goes I reckon Fleur could actually win it this year.

For some reason I'm thinking Simon will have 2 acts in the final Ben and Fleur and the third will be between Lauren or Andrea. I love to see OTY in the final but I don't think they get there.

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 12:02 PM

I didn't stan for Jake, he was hot just the obvious bias against him by producers was annoying me.

It is also annoying me the treatment Fleur is getting but the other way, the producers are forcing her to go as far as possible. Last night Fleur was in Andrea's VT, Lauren's VT, her family were in the crowd. Simon bigged up her performance before she even did it (a clear sign she was going to get great comments whatever happened) non of the judges mentioned how strained her voice was after. She got the pimp slot at the end and is always in the 2nd half of the show running order wise. In fact aren't her and Stevi the only 2 who haven't been on in the first 3 acts of the lives, which tells you everything.

All I can say about the rest you said is I don't give a toss, I don't post to please someone like you who clearly struggles with others opinions. I don't even bat an eyelid at you inanely saying OTY are amazing each week even if they do a dump on stage.

Posted by: HonkyBonkington 16th November 2014, 12:05 PM

Do you even like X Factor because all it sounds to me is that you like to moan weekly about most of the acts every week! Who is your fave even? Bet you don't have one!

Posted by: J▼hnkm 16th November 2014, 12:19 PM

Much as I love her, I'm not going to delude myself into thinking Fleur actually has much of a chance at victory. It'll probably be Ben or Andrea, with her the other act in the final. I hope I'm wrong though because she's the only one approaching being a popstar.

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 12:19 PM

I like Mel B

Andrea has a great voice, Ben is hot and with the right song his voice is good.

I just don't know how people can watch the X factor and not see how manipulated it is, how could you invest in an act on it knowing that if it isn't the act Simon/the producers want they wont be in the final or get very far.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 16th November 2014, 12:22 PM

But what if people watch knowing full well all that is true and actually do enjoy it? I love the show, even if every single movement is managed. I'm not sure how that stops you investing in an act, virtually every pop star, band, or entertainer is manipulated and managed to a large degree, so it's essentially no different other than trying to flog you their musical wares they are trying to get you to vote for them.

Posted by: Dobbo 16th November 2014, 12:24 PM

This is completely backwards. Silly public (I'm aware FB users aren't an accurate representation )

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 12:29 PM

What I mean is to invest in an act you think are good/great to see them used as cannon fodder or manipulated in a bad way. I mean Paul had a really smooth voice, did nothing wrong bar being shy and unmarketable and the noose was put around his neck.

The show feels more forced than ever and I guess if I'm honest I watch out of habit like a lot do now I'd assume.

Posted by: #Harmonizer4life 16th November 2014, 12:29 PM

Yes but everyweek they have got the bottom 3 correct, apart from one week with SK. They have more validity them some people think.

Posted by: Dobbo 16th November 2014, 12:32 PM

Well I'd be very surprised if Andrea ends up in the bottom 2 tonight and I can't believe Fleur is down there given the performance/comments/final slot effect.

Always welcome a shock though!

Posted by: #Harmonizer4life 16th November 2014, 12:34 PM

That is what im hoping for *Evil Laugh*

But it hink it will be a Sevie/Jay, Stevie/SK, Jay/SK

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 12:39 PM

This week I'd say the FB likes wont be very representative as 3 of the 4 faves (Andrea, Lauren and Ben) were earlier in the running order. This week was all about giving Fleur her moment and I'd assume trying to close the gap on those 3 (she's probably overtaken Lauren now).

Stevi was given everything again too.

Jay was the main target tonight I'd say, the judges arguing over something and chatting about things other than the performance after it is usually a classic way to shun the performance and make people forget the actual singing.

Posted by: euro music 16th November 2014, 12:45 PM

I've not even bothered watching the last 2 weeks because of the themes. Both themes so predictable. MJ/Queen always has the same old predictable songs. Big Band Week rarely has anything to do with big band music which is from the 40s. It is only that they have a live backing band.

I only like 3 of the acts anyway - Fleur - Lauren - Ben

Posted by: troylovesmusic 16th November 2014, 12:46 PM

Not everyweek I think both time Stereo Kicks have been bottom 2 they have been near the top 3 on FB likes. Fleur's picture was also put up late after the show ended and the actual picture is a picture of her backstage and not on the stage performing like the others are.

Posted by: Liаm 16th November 2014, 12:50 PM

I don't get why Fleur is so low :/ Stevi had the most likes by far when he was on last so it isn't that. Ugh. It's looking more and more likely Ben will walk this. I just keep thinking how he ticks the safe boxes a la Matt Cardle - he's a bit of an Everyman, is good looking in a "guy down the road you might fancy" and has a clear sense of himself as an artist without being too edgy or "out there".

But virtually ALL the comments on the XF Facebook page seem to be his looks... "Omg gorgeous bby xxxx" "so sexy xxxx" rather than his horrifically grating gravelly voice. I reckon if it was a female with a gravelly voice like that but the same talent level, they'd have gone by now. Or if he looked like Stevi he'd have definitely gone by now. I know the X Factor is about the looks and the whole package, but still it's so frustrating :/

Oh that never bothered me at all, because I am aware of how the show works and to be honest half of my enjoyment has always been getting riled up at a bad decision or the stupidity of it all.

Paul was the sacrificial lamb because of his comments the week before,meh basically threw his mentor under the bus in a strop and Simon/the bosses almost always reward that kind of behaviour with removal of perks/being pushed. Besides he was never going to win/sell many records so he went at a time that was about right for him (bar Stevi, but the joke act operates in a different set of rules)

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 01:11 PM

You say went at the right time but vocal wise he was above Jay, Lauren, Stevi and Fleur (though I'll happily take arguments of people saying she is more performance than vocals).

Posted by: J▼hnkm 16th November 2014, 01:38 PM

About right, Jay is arguable, he has a less good voice but is a more easily marketable prospect (though still not likely to be much more successful), Lauren is much better, or at least has the potential to be much better if she gets some time and effort invested into her. And as I said Stevi operates on a different logic within the show so he doesn't count.

01.0 Andrea Faustini · I feel like I'm in pain every time I hear him sing.
03.0 Lauren Platt · She really needs to get a f***ing grip and move around the stage. Sick to death of seeing her just there, and singing. Averagely.
00.0 Jay James · lol, that was more of a joke than any of Stevi's performances. Mel's comments were all on point.
04.0 Stereo Kicks · it's probably more the theme than anything, but christ this was awful. some of them are nice to look at but they're awful to listen to.
09.0 Ben Haenow · YES. not getting cheryl's comments at all though? although when has she ever spoken any sense. great performance!
10.0 Only the Young · that performance was SO much fun to watch. wasn't massive on the song choice at first, but they made it perfect. charlie <3
00.0 Stevi Ritchie · can the torture end soon please.
05.0 Fleur East · I really want to like her, but her vocals are just getting worse and worse. the rap part was PERFECTION, but everything else is still a bit rough.

I do fear that Andrea is going to be a shock bottom 2, based on those likes, but hopefully that'll make it an easier job for the judges to choose Stevi or Jay (I hope it's one of those two in the bottom 2).

Just don't take it to deadlock, Louis!!

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 04:21 PM

Think we can guess who is going tonight now - http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/x-factors-jay-james-denies-4636712

Jay being branded a bully for the Sunday papers is surely the kiss of death needed after last night.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 16th November 2014, 04:28 PM

Let's hope so!

Posted by: troylovesmusic 16th November 2014, 04:32 PM

I really can't see Andrea being anywhere near the bottom 2 if there is a shock tonight I think it will be Lauren.

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 04:47 PM

If fleur isn't in the bottom 2 (which is highly likely) watch her be the first to be announced as through tonight.

Posted by: Sean. 16th November 2014, 04:50 PM

I hope Andrea isn't in the bottom two! If Louis takes it to deadlock again though...

Posted by: Dobbo 16th November 2014, 04:52 PM

If Andrea IS in bottom 2 (I don' think there's any chance of it personally) with one of the groups then it won't be up to Louis to take it to deadlock as Dermot always asks the judges whose contestants are bottom 2 who to save first.

Posted by: Sean. 16th November 2014, 04:53 PM

Simon would then screw it up because he has a liking with either group!

Posted by: Dobbo 16th November 2014, 04:57 PM

True that would definitely happen if he was against Stereo Kicks. I'm sure he won't be dead bottom of the votes even if he somehow is bottom 2.

Posted by: Sean. 16th November 2014, 05:01 PM

Stereo Kicks vs Stevi would be interesting in that scenario with bottom of the votes!

Posted by: Martyn 16th November 2014, 05:03 PM

I think if that was a sing off it would be a 3-1 knock out of Stevi though. Can't see either of the girls saving him.

Posted by: Jason 16th November 2014, 05:11 PM

I can see Cheryl saving him. She always says she loves him.

Seeing the Facebook likes, I think a shocking bottom 2 with Andrea and Fleur could happen

Posted by: Dobbo 16th November 2014, 05:15 PM

Louis would definitely take that scenario to deadlock...

Posted by: Envoirment 16th November 2014, 05:24 PM

I'm all for a Fleur/Andrea shock bottom 2. Although rather see Jay or Stevie go.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th November 2014, 08:05 PM

She does! Dominatrix chic~

And a good group performance for once. You can really tell how much more experienced Fleur is than ALL of them when they perform together. Her presence is so strong on stage.

Posted by: Envoirment 16th November 2014, 08:05 PM

So many off moments in that group performance.

Is this Nicole singing a funeral song to indicate the death of X Factor, god this is painful. I mean she is a good singer but the song just seems words, there is no melody at all.

Posted by: Hayzayy 16th November 2014, 08:13 PM

This song is terrible :/ What a waste of a performance slot.

Posted by: Dobbo 16th November 2014, 08:14 PM

She sang very well but my word what a DULL song.

Posted by: Envoirment 16th November 2014, 08:15 PM

Nicole sounded so beautiful. Great to hear a good vocal on this series of X-factor for once.

Posted by: Calum Hood 16th November 2014, 08:15 PM

in LOVE with that song And that, Cheryl, is how you do a live vocal.

Posted by: Hayzayy 16th November 2014, 08:15 PM

The cat screaming at the end of the song was unbearable.

Posted by: ► ▲ N 16th November 2014, 08:18 PM

this Nicole song is really dull Chez Thermo was 4 minutes behind and after a minute of her singing we decided to fast forward to the adverts. Yes that's how dull it was.

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 08:18 PM

Both are very pretty and I'm gay so it doesn't really matter but thought Nicole's make up and slicked back hair wasn't very flattering.

Kinda want Stevi to go through as that way we'll have an interesting sing-off.

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 08:25 PM

Exact bottom 3 you'd expect, not only bottom 3 this week but the next 3 to go. The 5 through now are who should be in the final 5.

ONLY THE YOUNG!!!!!!

No shock exit/bottom 2 this time then

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 08:27 PM

I really hope the guy screaming Only the young is related to them, as he sounds about 40 which is just ever so slightly creepy.

This is the first not completely abysmal OLLY song. Wow.

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 08:33 PM

Posted by: April 16th November 2014, 08:43 PM

Posted by: Oliver 16th November 2014, 08:43 PM

Was that definitely them? I was thinking "who are those two randomers?" but then thought it could be, but why would they be there?

Posted by: Liаm 16th November 2014, 08:43 PM

That was pretty bad.

Paloma's bit was the best <3

Posted by: Cameron 16th November 2014, 08:44 PM

Paloma and Emeli's voiced worked so well together. The best part by far!

Posted by: n4yr 16th November 2014, 08:44 PM

Bono's line "tonight we're reaching out and touching you" just sounds creepy...

Posted by: Oliver 16th November 2014, 08:44 PM

I thought it was Rebecca Ferguson before she started singing.




I've always thought Rita was a strong singer.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 16th November 2014, 08:44 PM

Absolutely not, but he sounded like he was about to keel over

Posted by: Hayzayy 16th November 2014, 08:44 PM

I can't get over Rita Ora getting Dido's part at the beginning

No rap part this time then. Was at least expecting a "drop"

Loved Rita Ora on that though

Posted by: Rooney 16th November 2014, 08:48 PM

Hoping there's a twist here, and the girls vote to send Jay home. We need Stevi!

Posted by: MauriceStoran 16th November 2014, 08:48 PM

Ok this is really bad.

Posted by: Envoirment 16th November 2014, 08:48 PM

Oh wait Jay sounds awful. If Stevie can pull it out of the bag, maybe it'll go to deadlock.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 16th November 2014, 08:48 PM

Can Stevi stay for the lols the right bottom 2 this week I think.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th November 2014, 08:48 PM

Not even mentioning his vocals, but Jay's performance skills are SO annoying. His forced/exaggerated arm gestures are what annoy me more than anything.

Posted by: Oliver 16th November 2014, 08:49 PM

He shouted "f***ing come on" or "f***ing get in".

Posted by: AltheGreat 16th November 2014, 08:49 PM

He's abysmal.

STEVI TO SLAY (AND STAY)!

Posted by: Calum Hood 16th November 2014, 08:49 PM

Stevi definitely needs to stay here. Jay is fucking awful.

Posted by: Dobbo 16th November 2014, 08:49 PM

That was pretty awful, he got nowhere near those high notes.

Posted by: Liаm 16th November 2014, 08:49 PM

YAAAASSS OTY

Perfect bottom 2. Stevi at his best can genuinely outsing Jay, but he'll go.

Posted by: Danny 16th November 2014, 08:49 PM

It's still a total travesty that he stayed last week.

Wasn't Adele meant to be on Band Aid?

Posted by: ► ▲ N 16th November 2014, 08:49 PM

can we get rid of Jay? that was awful.

of course they'll get rid of Stevi though now that he's on the tour

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 08:50 PM

If Stevi goes next week Jay might as well not turn up.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th November 2014, 08:50 PM

Oops.

Though he is forgiven, for being an ADORABLE SEX GOD of course~

Posted by: Envoirment 16th November 2014, 08:50 PM

Stevie serving those high notes way better the Jay. *_*

Posted by: MauriceStoran 16th November 2014, 08:51 PM

You have taste

Posted by: April 16th November 2014, 08:51 PM

Stevi is actually better than Jay!

Posted by: MauriceStoran 16th November 2014, 08:51 PM

Both should go cause both were awful!

Posted by: Oliver 16th November 2014, 08:52 PM

She didn't answer her mobile apparently!

This is abysmal as well but actually better than Jay.

This is the first time I'm watching this year, can someone please clarify that these two are the worst?

Posted by: Dobbo 16th November 2014, 08:52 PM

YES! Smash it Stevi! Haha at Somebody To Love being used 2 weeks in a row.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th November 2014, 08:52 PM

Lol at this.

Worst sing off we've had this year, and considering how bad they've been that's saying something.

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 08:52 PM

I don't want Stevi to stay though because he could get a bounce next week then and the bottom 2 could be a right mess.

Posted by: Toby 16th November 2014, 08:52 PM

omg that last note.

Posted by: April 16th November 2014, 08:52 PM

Yassss Stevi! Slay the competition!

Posted by: Liаm 16th November 2014, 08:53 PM

Awkward how Stevi slaughtered Jay there hahahaha

Posted by: J▼hnkm 16th November 2014, 08:53 PM

Stevi was really quite good there

Posted by: troylovesmusic 16th November 2014, 08:54 PM

I genuinely thought Stevi was better

Posted by: Envoirment 16th November 2014, 08:54 PM

I don't think it was anywhere near as bad a the week OTY sung "Winner Takes It All".

Ah well, looks like Stevie is gone. Mel won't save him.

P.S: Oops nevermind she did.

Posted by: Rooney 16th November 2014, 08:54 PM

Stevi was better than Jay there. Stevi might have a chance here.

Posted by: Martyn 16th November 2014, 08:54 PM

I LOVE THIS SHOW

Should have got rid of the joke act, silly Mel and Cheryl

Posted by: Jester 16th November 2014, 08:56 PM

Brilliant result!

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th November 2014, 08:56 PM

Well Mel/Cheryl can't complain next week after he performs now (like they do every week).

Lol.

Posted by: April 16th November 2014, 08:56 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YASSSSSSSS! So glad that smug bast*rd is gone over Stevi!

Posted by: Dobbo 16th November 2014, 08:56 PM

Again, the performing second on sing-off prophecy continues!

I'm happy Stevi pulled it back though, and he did sing better.

Posted by: -Jay- 16th November 2014, 08:56 PM

Ha!

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 08:56 PM

I'm really happy Jay has gone but Stevi is going to take flack in press now and on twitter and probably get a sympathy bounce next week now, which is a shame as I'd rather Stevi went next week.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 16th November 2014, 08:56 PM

PUT THAT IN YIUR PIPE AND CHOKE IN IT YOU SMUG TWAT

YAAAAAAAY

Stevi surviving the bottom 2 omg yesssss at Jay finally going

Posted by: J▼hnkm 16th November 2014, 08:57 PM

That was incredible. X Factor making itself VITAL for the first time in ages.

Posted by: Liаm 16th November 2014, 08:57 PM

AMAZING


He shouldn't have even made the lives.

Looking at the Band Aid official photo, 3 youtubers are there (Zoella, Thatcher Joe and Pointless Blog (or however you spell it))

Posted by: Toby 16th November 2014, 08:58 PM

One less hot guy though

Posted by: n4yr 16th November 2014, 08:58 PM

I can't stop laughing at this. What even at sending it to deadlock. Oh well Jay is no loss. Stevi to go next week please.

Posted by: Rooney 16th November 2014, 08:58 PM

If Stevi sings a song like that again next week he'll probably go through, think he might last another week, two at tops though.

Posted by: n4yr 16th November 2014, 08:59 PM

Emeli Sande? What does she even have to promote?

Posted by: Calum Hood 16th November 2014, 09:00 PM

Emeli next week *.*

Posted by: Toby 16th November 2014, 09:00 PM

Emeli is going bald.

Posted by: Martyn 16th November 2014, 09:01 PM

So when Andrea and Lauren finish below Stevie are Cheryl and Mel gonna kick off?

Posted by: Dobbo 16th November 2014, 09:01 PM

Labrinth & Emeli Sande both on same week. Performing Beneath Your Beautiful again obvs.

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 09:02 PM

#hug we are all devastated by the thought of sitting through one of her performances too

Posted by: Jason 16th November 2014, 09:04 PM

Yay! Stevi got through. So happy now.

I don't want to listen to Jay's annoying vocals never more.

Posted by: Liаm 16th November 2014, 09:07 PM

She'll probably sing the song she features on from David Guetta's new album.

Posted by: Akaniero 16th November 2014, 09:11 PM

Mel whines and complains about last week and then goes and does that? What a complete hypocrite

Posted by: sammy01 16th November 2014, 09:12 PM

Read all about it part 37

Posted by: Chez Wombat 16th November 2014, 10:03 PM

Stevi was genuinely better than Jay in that sing-off, so I'm rather happy that he stayed in over him. I haven't actually seen either perform full as I haven't watched this in a while, but I still remember Jay butchering Fix You and he did the same tonight with another of my favourite songs, good riddance. Happy for Only The Young, really liked what I've seen of them and I hope they can last a few more weeks and aren't completely stitched up in favour of Stereo Kicks.

Posted by: jase. 16th November 2014, 11:28 PM

Mel saving Stevie She's such a troll, I love her

Posted by: euro music 17th November 2014, 02:17 PM

Saving Stevi

Just what has She Bangs have to do with Big Band - It's should come under the theme of Latin

Posted by: Toby 17th November 2014, 04:03 PM

Mel is such a troll and i'm loving it

Posted by: Liаm 17th November 2014, 04:09 PM

Mel's trolling was annoying when it meant we lost Lola, but I love her more now given it's because of her we're rid of Jay I was pretty sure Cheryl would save Stevi but I thought she'd be the only one. Mel didn't even like Stevi before, she was just like "f*** it let's save him" <3

As I said though, he was genuinely better than Jay in the sing-off!

Posted by: euro music 17th November 2014, 04:58 PM

Own Up!!!

Who would buy Stevi's music if he won?

Posted by: Dobbo 17th November 2014, 05:00 PM

Personally I wouldn't buy any of them. But at least Stevi is entertaining to watch unlike Ben, Lauren, Stereo Kicks & to a lesser extent Andrea.

Posted by: Calum Hood 17th November 2014, 05:29 PM

I don't think it was a case of Mel suddenly having a big turnaround with Stevi, more she just really doesn't like Jay at all.

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th November 2014, 05:33 PM

In all fairness, Stevi's performance was waaaay better than Jay's in the sing-off.

Posted by: Liаm 17th November 2014, 05:39 PM

Exactly.


I wouldn't buy his music and I don't even really think he's that entertaining anymore, but I just find him quite likeable actually and even when looking at who's left in the competition now I'd prefer to watch him perform than Stereo Kicks and probably Ben actually. Plus for once, that proved you can easily fall in the sing off with a weak performance... Jay was terrible last night and seemed to put very little into it, whilst you can tell Stevi wanted to stay and gave it his all. If we judge on those two performances, which is essentially, and always should be, the point of the sing-off, it was 100% the right result.

I bet if Jay had stayed, everyone would moan that he stayed based on a really weak sing-off again to be fair

Posted by: euro music 17th November 2014, 06:08 PM

Personally I would ditch the sing-off and just go with the public vote.
After all the judges are just giving their personal opinions and not the public's.
That's why very few winners ever get anywhere after the winner's single. Only Leona, Alexandra and Little Mix.

I think you have a better career coming 2nd to 6th.
Look at One Direction, Olly Murs, Cher Lloyd (especially in USA), Ella Henderson etc.

Posted by: jase. 17th November 2014, 06:50 PM

Can we all talk about how DREADFUL the sing-offs have been this year? And when I think back to the glory days of Ruth Lorenzo's 'Purple Rain' performance..

Posted by: sammy01 17th November 2014, 07:59 PM

I think the sing offs are showing that most contestants are really relying on backing tracks/vocals, back up singers and staging to carry them this year.

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th November 2014, 08:01 PM

That's kinda the point of having judges...

Posted by: euro music 18th November 2014, 04:37 PM

I know that - but the judges shouldn't have the casting vote - it should be entirely down to the public vote.
The one with the least votes should be eliminated and if it's a double elimination the bottom 2 should go.

The judges have had their votes before the lives.

Posted by: Dobbo 18th November 2014, 05:05 PM

Most of the time it ends up going to deadlock anyway so the judges' cackle is rendered redundant...

Posted by: MauriceStoran 18th November 2014, 05:35 PM

They can't do that otherwise Cowell can get sued by Simon Fuller for X Factor bassicly being the same format as Pop Idol.
