dedicated to ketalina; may she breathe with ease
Dreading this week, Halloween week will be one fun interesting performance and 10 that are hide behind your sofa for all the wrong reasons.
Brian already said on Xtra factor that they would be recreating Thriller dance for one of the acts, so there is one obvious song and performance to sit through.
What's the betting - GHOSTBUSTERS again.
Love to see someone do a version of Monster Mash. Perhaps Stevi - it sure is his week.
Halloween week is always so pointless... They don't use "proper" Halloween songs most of the time, just stuff with monster, black, night, dark etc. in the title
There could be some amazing songs that tenuously fit under Halloween (Zombie by The Cranberries, Zombie by Natalia Kills and Black Cat by Janet Jackson for example) but they'll never be used, we'll get the usual Thriller, Ghostbusters, Stay (amazing song though and could be a huge moment for Lola or Lauren) etc.
Fleur to sing The Monster please!
Disturbia for Only The Young please.
whoever keeps anonymous editing the title i created will you please kindly f*** off thank you. there are no rules about how the title should be. i will just continue to edit it back.
jesus wept, so much ocd
Yes, there are no rules about naming threads but it would clearly look better if all threads were the same case. It's literally the only thread which title is written in lowercase. Name it however you like, put all the dots and spaces and symbols and shit you like in it srsly but you cannot possibly deny it just looks f***ing terrible like this compared to the rest of the reality forum.
Should've known you'd make such a huge fuss about it though :/
It makes it that bit more difficult to find a thread when you're looking back down the line and you know each of the threads had a basic structure that was kept to, but then there's that one thread title that just had to be the complete polar opposite of its siblings. I just don't understand why there's a continual and compulsive need to be so obstructive and neglect the formatting pattern that has emerged?

It does look quite out of place, it's one part of a series of threads and there's nothing wrong with consistency? Fair enough if you don't like people anonymously altering your thread titles, but equally, surely you can see why? It's no HUGE deal I guess but I don't see why there's any real need to break the trend anyway, it's not as if it gives the title any kind of personality (not that a title needs that anyway).
as it upsets everyone so much i have edited it to the standard. i just do not understand why it is a big deal to everyone? no other forum is like it on the internet.
also do people go back through the archives over time to the read the threads? it's all in real time and much of it only makes sense if you have the episode on at the exact moment as you start the thread?
I would say I'm looking forward to song choices but after last weeks unoriginal + uninspired choices, maybe not
The Script are on tonight's show as well as John Legend and Cheryl.... They're singing No Good In Goodbye apparently.
A bit off topic but here is Mel B going to a Halloween party as... herself! -15 years or so. *.*
Omg next thing I've seen all day *.*
Queen. As much as i love her, she's really not a very good mentor is she? Some of the song choices for the Boys have been a bit..... strange.
She is a horrific mentor but I don't care about of the boys (same went for her in Aussie XF in 2012, although she ruined my fave in 2011 but I always mention this so we shan't go there) much so it's fine
This show could be a total mess, or surprisingly good. Listening to the clips on itunes, at least most contestants are changing it up a bit!
OMG this is SO f***ING CHEAP
Lucifer Walsh
Hell B was my fave!
HELL B was quite amusing though
Hell B
Cheryl's dress *.*
Cheryl's dress is amazing!
Cherly does look great tonight, but it's a RARE occurence these days
Ready for Lauren to slay us all
The votes opening now when someone goes tonight is really unfair... It should have been a flash vote, the ones at the start are naturally more likely to get more votes as they have longer :/
And of course f***ing BEN has to be first
Oh dear this is awful. I really hope he somehow goes tonight. My ears hurt from this racket and this is by far his worst performance
Anyway can't wait for Lauren + Fleur + Lola tonight
1. Ben Haenow 0/10
EDIT: AND A STANDING OVATION
That was so painful to listen to, ouch my ears.
Ben 4/10
His voice isn't pleasant at all imo. Simon saying he's a "real performer" tho
Nice enough but quite shouty?
06.0 Ben Haenow
Ben's voice goes right through me. He's always so predictable too, every week you just know exactly how he'll sing it and every week the songs are pretty predictable... Except maybe Jealous Guy. This was better than the snooze fest last week but not amazing. He just sounds like he needs a cough, rock isn't my thing though He seems like a right cock as well.
01 Ben Haenow - Highway To Hell 4/10
I think I actually liked that?
I don't mind his voice that much.
I can see that he's a technically good and energetic performer but I just don't want to listen to his voice, ever.
Does it come across different in the studio or something? That was not anywhere near as amazing as they were trying to make it!
01. Ben Haenow (5/10)
He SANG it very well, but it just wasn't for me
Did you know there was going to be a double elimination this week? They haven't mentioned it enough yet I don't think
That skirt is NOT WORKING for her
How is Crazy related to Halloween
Also, LOL at this being FRIGHT in any way. Offensive to anyone with a mental illness maybe.
I love Lola. She's got a great voice but it wasn't as good as last week
1. Ben Haenow 0/10
2. Lola Saunders 8/10
Also will the John Lewis advert premiere next Sunday?
Anyhow... the performance is pretty average, just lacks something 5/10
That was a really good song choice for her but she was out of tune for quite a bit of it sadly.
07.5 Lola Saunders
06.0 Ben Haenow
She was no where near as good as they're saying she was.
Lola 8/10
Ben 4/10
Very stellar vocal performance! Cheryl did well with coordinating that performance
!!! at the bf ON HIS PHONE as they are talking about her
Am I hearing something different? The slower bits were great but as soon as it got upbeat, she went terribly out of tune.
Didn't enjoy Ben either, but I never will when his voice sounds like that. It's stopped sounding naturally gravelly though and more like he's wretching whilst singing.
6/10 Lola Saunders
4/10 Ben Haenow
Good song choice for Lola but she was quite a bit pitchy at times (Although I think her earpiece or something fell out?). Missed Ben's performance so will try to catch up with that soon. 7/10.
That was much better than the past couple of weeks! She seemed more confident and gave it her all, rather than just kind of standing and singing nicely as she has done a couple of times now... I like how it started with a focus on her voice for a bit and them moved onto being something a bit out of her comfort zone! Very very impressed.
01 Lola Saunders - Crazy 8.5/10
02 Ben Haenow - Highway To Hell 4/10
Lola was okay but she sounded so out of tune in the middle of it.
Eww caught chewing gum on camera.
Lola 5.0
Awful vocals imo
Pixie exposure. *.*
They're really throwing in the sob stories this time ain't they?
The dancing and choreography were perfect and stunning but the vocals felt a bit poor sadly

***Flawless tbh. The vocals were great and the stage presence/performance were amazing
EXCELLENT performance but vocals a little weak for Fleur sadly. Still one of my favourites without a DOUBT.

LOL at Cheryl talking about SINGING LIVE. AS IF LOVE. AS. IF.
Performance of the series. To do that song and routine justice and not make it seem try-hard or gimmicky.
Winner.
Her vocals were weak, but the performance was really good. She reminds me a bit of Janet Jackson. 8/10
Fleur 8/10.
Lola 6.5/10.
Fantastic performance from Fleur. Her vocal was better than Lola's despite the choreography.
Not very impressed. It's all nice and everything that she can throw in a Thriller routine, it was a fantastic performance - vocals wise, weak and as Mel said, they were definitely compromised for the performance...
Fleur East 6.5/10
Lola Saunders 6/10
Ben Haenow 4/10
Joseph and Bal are you ready for the shirtless moment? X
Edit: The shirtless moment never came! argh:
The vocals were a little off (that's the -0.5), but tbf guest performers always do that when they have huge dance routines like that. As a performer, she is untouchable and this is The X Factor not The Voice! She has everything. Still raging she didn't do Black Cat by Janet Jackson though.

Did Jack just out himself?! *.*
Oh he's pulling some UGLY UGLY faces
Not great but then that's what I expected as no one can do BL anywhere near as good Leona- if is probably a song only Leona should sing. Anyway he did ok despite that but I think he could be in big danger this week

Jack 4.5/10
Ben 4/10
I can hardly understand what he's singing... He's not doing this song justice at all, definately not the right song for him.
His vocals are really painful as well. There's time where I like them, but most of the times they seem so forced...
Usual affair with Jack for me. (I actually would say if he did a shite performance tbf)

Jack - 4/10
For some reason the performance didn't click with me. Poor performance 3.5/10
He has no excuse for those poor vocals, he was just stood there and if was nasally and sounded like he had a cold. I blame Mel for that though, worst song choice of the night. Surely he'll be in danger, vocally that wasn't too much better than Lloyd's from 2009
"You gave me what I asked you to give me, pain" my ears agree Mel x

Not watching but OTY stan mode is on as I have given all 5 votes to them
Next week: Jack gets stripped on stage
I will vote for him then
That was another very unimpressive performance, I too, want the Jack back that I really enjoyed in the auditions, but yet another "meh" performance is given to me. Just quite... dull for someone who is capable of much better. Not terrible, not out of tune, just dull. 6/10

Mel B is truly shite.
Mel might not hit the mark at the time, but I have respect for her for TRYING to think outside the box at the very least.
wot a BLOKE
Yeah, this is gonna be such a risk, so far out of his comfort zone that nobody saw it coming...
That f***ing eye is OMINIOUS
OH SWEET JESUS
Omylord at that remix
HE MADE IT HIS OWN
Was much better than I was expecting, thank heavens for the Emeli Sandé-esque drums in the performance. 7/10.
Fleur - 8/10

At twist really failed for me and the vocals sound really terrible- I get why people don't like him on here now (who are the main haters of him again on here?) . Mad world is one of my favourite ballads and it should never ever have any uptempo bit in it in my opinion.

He started off really well, but then that weird as remix came in and it ruined everything for me
The "maaaaad woooooorld" part isn't helping him either

I didn't think that was too bad?? I don't like him much but that was probably his best performance, for me at least.
What a clunky performance, although admittedly, I am glad he made it more interesting than I thought he would. Probably my favourite performance of his so far actually, the only one I've enjoyed. He's way too orange though, slightly offputting.

Even worst than his past few :/ It was absolutely painful when he started shouting and straining in the "people waiting for the day they feel good" bit! How come he was so restrained on Adele and Paloma songs and yet on a simple song like this he shouts it? Horrific. He has to be THE most overrated contestant they've ever had, I just can't. You can either barely hear him or he's shouting randomly.
And yes it's great and brave he was in the Marines, but NOBODY CARES. You are still shit.

OMG at that Hunger Games exclusive teaser
I am so so excited, 19 days to go (going opening night)
Hunger Games looks INCREDIBLE
but that was expected
(I just want Katniss to die, which obv she won't)
LOL at Mel trying to speak Italian
Nooo why did I miss that HG exclusive

This is going to be a car crash performance

Very very good vocals, but he seems to be missing something?
Maybe that is because I am comparing it to Alexandra's ikonec performance,
Talking of Alexandra, his run so far has reminded me of Alexandra, with all the big songs by big diva's
WOW. The outfit hahaha! I don't think the song choice was really the best pick but he actually delivered it and matched it to his abilities better than I expected he would, all in all, nowhere near his best but still pretty good.

probably because the song is shit
Wow. What a star. She killed it, that was such a star performance! She totally delivered, like Fleur that could easily have been a guest performer.

She's too nice for that. Her vocals aren't punchy enough for a song like that which requires quite an edge to your voice - having said that, I am glad to see her doing something that carves her into more of an actual pop artist. Don't know why she was crying about bopping from side to side though, hardly that difficult. 7/10

That was actually a really good choice, so... well done Mel, the brilliant mentor. *.*
Good performance from Paul. Simon is right though, he needs to lighten up. Bad move for Paul to bite back!
This week from Paul was one of the few times where Mel's crazy song choices actually really paid off I agree!
At least it's ON THEME and FUN
I find them so unlikeable the last few weeks (apart from the blonde girl) but this wasn't that bad this week

I don't actually like them very much, and blonde boy looks really sleazy/greasy/druggy, but that was good
The girls need less solos, they're iffy at best.... But I love this fun vibe from them, so it was WAY better than last week - especially the torturous sing-off It was on theme, fun and (mostly) vocally on point in a way their previous performances haven't been.

Absolutely incredible, I knew they would do amazing once I saw they were being allowed to perform that song! Well deserved standing ovation from the judges and hopefully that's enough to save them!
Am I the only one who thought Fleur sounded about as good as she usually does? Obviously she had to focus on the choreography but I wouldn't have said she sacrificed the vocals.
That was amazing, really falling for them as a group. Voted 5 times for them already.. I's be gutted if they went.
The verses sound AWFUL

Standing ovation, really? It was quite good though and very enjoyable though, one of my favourites of the night, very good fun... wasn't expecting that actually. The idea of boybands doing boyband songs is a bit of a weird idea, I feel, but it actually worked, I'd like to see them doing this sort of angle more often.
A bit karaoke? Enjoyable performance still but it could have been a Backstreet Boys tribute band imo.

James Graham is really carrying this band vocally. A pretty good performance though!
Glad others agree with me about Fleur. Let's get app voting for her!
Their lead singer carries them. Everyone else is average/below average.
Such a cheesy song choice, and not in the same fun way as OTY... It was better than their week 2 and 3 performances, but still nothing brilliant. They are improving though, I just think a better song choice would have done them the world of good, but oh well.

As much as I hate him, I must admit this is Stevi's best performance 7.5/10
Stevi turned in my favourite performance of the night...
Speechless.

Is it wrong that I loved that? That was his first kinda not novelty performance, yet that was the performance of his that's put a smile on my face more than anything! G'WON STEVI, actually rooting for him tonight.
As much as people take the piss out of him, he's actually quite a decent singer (better than quite a lot of those in the competition). When he hit the high note as well, I was surprised! Really enjoyed that performance. 8/10

Looool genuinely his vocal was WAY better than Jay's! I mean he isn't like Freddie Mercury or anything but idk I don't hate him as much as I should for a novelty act. He actually has a good-ish voice I think, and at least he's fun and not horrifically overrated like the other male overs!

Really poor show tonight in my view. Stereo Kicks and Stevi were the only acts better than last week
My votes are:
Lauren 3x (she might not have been amazing tonight but she was the best still)
Lola 1x (she better survive)
Fleur 1x (that choreography and dance )
I'm not voting for stereo kicks because they will surely survive whatever
And sorry Joseph but I think your favourite is gonna go tonight
Think Jack will be out tonight.
ipad votes:
3x Lauren
2x Lola (out of her and Jack who are surely in danger, I much prefer her and would rather she stayed)
Phone votes:
3x Fleur
2x Paul
I think its between Jack and Lola to leave the show tonight, and I probably chuck Jay James in the bottom 3.
Done 20 votes for Jack across 4 devices, he needs them tonight!
I think Lola is going to go out on the flash vote and then Jay and Jack in the bottom 2.
Jack, Jay, Lola, Stevi could all be in trouble tonight/tomorrow
Ideally, Jay would go straight away with Jack and Ben in the sing off but as if that would happen! Realistically, I'll settle for Jack going straight away and then Jay in the bottom 2.
I think Lola will be out tonight. Easily the most forgettable performance tonight.
I feel like Jack and Lola are in serious danger.
Call me crazy but Stevi was rather good!! He actually deserves to stay this week.
The highest performance on iTunes at the moment is Jay
Lola and Jay DESERVE to go, but I think it'll be Jack
4 X Only The Young
1 X Fleur
Lola/Stevi/Only The Young/Jack all in trouble.
Think we're gonna be subjected to Jay for a long, long time.
The Script are so dull.
2 x Only The Young
2 x Fleur
1 x Lauren
If Jack goes I'll be very happy. It'd be interesting to go into the results show tomorrow with all of Simon's acts remaining.
God The Script are SO f***ING DULL

I liked that The Script song but it sounded very similar to 'Here Standing' by The Saturdays to me, I was basically singing those lyrics along to The Script's song!
My app votes across two devices:
Fleur x3, Lauren, Only The Young, Andrea, Paul, Stereo Kicks(!), Stevi(!!) and Jack [voted for Jack by request but I don't think he deserved it really...]
2 million votes? Those free app votes must be getting used A LOT
Yay for OTY!
Worried for Fleur and Lola
Edit: YAY FLEUR!
Aww poor gorgeous Jack
Not surprised. I liked Jack but he's been poor the last 2 weeks
So glad Lola survived
Andrea we'll see you next week, Lola we'll see you tomorrow...
No big loss with Jack gone. He did lose himself a bit through the competition, so hope he finds himself again now he's out of it.
BUT HE'S SO PRETTY
The Facebook curse strikes again! Jack deserved to go this weekend after that performance. Only Stereo Kicks were worse than him tonight.
YAAAAAAAAAAASSS YAAAAAAAASS
Is it bad though a part of me hoped it was Andrea just for the lols? Lola will just go tomorrow probably, but it depends who she sings against and whether she/the other act there cracks.
Oh well we can enjoy Jack in the Attitude shoot next week
Good f***ing bye
Ahh, Jack. I can't even honestly say that it's a shame because I thought he was the worst tonight.
At least Fleur is through... phew!!!
For me it was pretty obvious Jack was gone, I think Lola could have been second to last.
JACK HAS GONE!
3x (total 4x) Lola as really worried for her and want her to stay and another 2x (total 5x) for Lauren
Well I was way off my mark with my prediction of Jack making to final 4 Oh well. He was one of my favourites on the first live show but he kept getting worse for me every week.
Still think Lola will be out tomorrow.
Expected but such a shame I have no doubts that he'll continue to do music so that's something at least.
Louis Tomlinson is not pleased
Mel is being iconic on xtra factor that poor high voiced woman!
Did Simon just out Louis?!?
ooh that girl on the Xtra factor has two nice pumpkins.
Noo my baby Jack! He was my number 1, completely wrong song choice! Fleur is now my #1 hope
It should be Lauren and Andrea. Both are overrated crap and don't deserve all the praise they get.
My next votes for tomorrow are:
ipad - Lauren x4, Fleur x1
Phone - Lola x3, Paul x2
I don't think Fleur needs them as much. I'm just paranoid Lauren might do a Tamera and be a shock bottom 2
God that Pixie Lott advert dragged on a bit
Catching up, writing comments as I watch:
7.5/10 Ben Haenow - Highway To Hell
much better than last week, the song really suited him. More of that kinda vocal please just to make him stand out more, we don't get many good rock singers.
8.0/10 Lola Saunders - Crazy
it was nice, but her problem is she doesn't have the vocals of Lauren or the performance skills of Fleur. Better than last week anyhow and the start particularly was great. Hope she continues to stay in the comp but she's not the best of her category.
8.0/10 Fleur East - Thriller
I liked her dancing and stage presence but the vocals weren't that great. Last week was better.
6.0/10 Jack Walton - Bleeding Love
Meh, too safe and inoffensive for me
4.0/10 Jay James - Mad World
his vocal in the uptempo part of it was awful he was bearable in the first half though. Not liking how they're calling it "different" and "risky" just because they upped the tempo half way through especially when it didn't work.
7.0/10 Andreas Faustini - Relight My Fire
Quite good but a bit karaoke.
8.5/10 Lauren Platt - Dark Horse
Brilliant performance. She could still work on the performing side but her stage presence is improving. Her vocals are stunning too.
7.0/10 Paul Akister - Bat Out Of Hell
This is a bit standard, not as good as last week for me but wouldn't mind him staying a bit longer
8.0/10 Only the Young - Monster Mash
Nice reworking of the song and far better than last weeks performance. I always knew they had potential, glad that they're proving themselves tonight

Looking at that and the Facebook likes, it seems pretty certain Lola and one of the remaining boys will be bottom. I'm sure it was week 4 last year that Tamera fell into the bottom 2 and week 4 in 2011 that Misha fell into the bottom 2 so maybe there's a week 4 bottom 2 shock curse as well as the week 5 shock curse Andrea and Lola are bottom of both likes and itunes so I'd say they're most I'm danger, but Andrea has better past form than Paul so we'll see.
Anyway, I can't believe Fleur is near the top of the likes but so low on itunes :/ I know her vocal was slated but still! Lauren is doing horrifically compared to her usual success too
I'm glad it was jack,he seems a nice guy but his voice grated on me,I don't knowwho i want to go tomorrow night but I fear Lola might be in trouble.
CANNOT at Jack leaving. Done with this show, Strictly I'm coming for you next week. Ugh, he had so much potential to be a STAR though (still is in my eyes). Just hope he can keep going and give us another killer track like 'The Way Out'
08.0 Ben Haenow · Keep loving him more and more after each of his performances Amazing song choice for him, his voice wasn't the best in that but it was still enjoyable on the whole. He's so bloody gorgeous as well.
04.0 Lola Saunders · Oh dear, I like her but that performance was absolutely horrendous. Awful song choice, she seemed shaky for most of it (the beginning was okay), but not impressed. Wouldn't be surprised if she's in danger tomorrow, which is a shame as vocally she really is capable of so much more.
03.0 Fleur East · That was just as bad as Lola, if not worse. Really don't see anything that worked with that performance at all? The staging was all good, but it was all a bit awkward for me. She wasn't even singing that much and when she was it all just seemed really flat and bland? Could have been amazing, but amazing it was NOT.
10.0 Jack Walton · I feel much more emotional watching this knowing that he's gone than I would have was he still in? But oh well. Performance of the night, there's just something so enchanting about his voice, love love love. Such a shame this was his last performance though, definitely deserved more.
00.0 Jay James · Wow, this has to be the most predictable song choice of his so far? Suits him to the core though, dull, depressing and absolutely horrific (perfectly matched to the theme too). Awful performance, really hope (and don't see him doing so) he doesn't last much longer here.
00.0 Andrea Faustini · I really can't focus on much else about this performance other than what the FUCK is he wearing?! What an utter mess. Go home.
04.0 Lauren Platt · Well at least she didn't turn it into a ballad this week... Still, it was a really poor performance. Weak vocals on the whole. Way to ruin a song, Lauren. Think the only thing that saves this for me really is that I love the song too much to criticise it too heavily.
07.0 Paul Akister · Things are bad when Paul's one of my favourites of the night... Probably helps that 'Bat Out of Hell' is such a guilty pleasure of mine. Good performance on the whole, still not amazing and he never will be, but ah well.
09.5 Only the Young · AMAZING performance, loving them so much, and with Jack gone they're probably the only thing tempting me to keep watching the show. Can see them being very successful if they keep progressing as they are on the show, all their performances are consistently fabulous and they all have good voices and work so well together.
06.0 Stereo Kicks · I think it's safe to say I'm over this lot now. Not a good performance at all, and I just don't see this whole charade lasting much longer. The song choice was good for them, but I'm just not believing in them any more and couldn't care that much for them at all.
00.0 Stevi Ritchie · No.
Absolutely AWFUL show on the whole. Such a chore to watch and I really cba when I'm still trying to get over Doctor Who.
Jack is pretty and fit, but let's face it he has been a bit crap the past two weeks. Rather like Sam Callahan was last year.
Always sad to lose the best eye candy though!
Jack was actually in my top 4 favourites, but his performance wasn't good at all tonight and probably the weakest out of everyone - purely down to the song choice so it's not really Jack's fault at all.
Only The Young were way ahead of everyone tonight, you could tell that they were very familiar with the song as they were in another class tonight and their massive increase in support on Facebook and iTunes shows that to be the case. Fleur was once again great too and was my second favourite of the night, while her vocals did slightly struggle in the verses, the overall performance was fantastic and any slight vocal issues didn't matter at all in the context of the whole performance.
I predicted Jack would be out tonight and I was right, I would guess at Lola going tomorrow night but I can't decide who else will be in the bottom 2 with Lola. I'd hope tonight's performance would save Only The Young (although their vote bounce from being in last week's bottom 2 may have been "used up" tonight), but if they do survive then maybe Paul or Stereo Kicks could slip into the bottom 2.

Glad to see Paul building a bit, hopefully Jay is a shock bottom 2 but the oracle of the Facebook likes says it'll be Andrea
I assume the first Jay is Ben then? But yes please keep posting them, I find them very interesting!
yep it is!
I think people like Andrea when he sings the power ballads, otherwise they're not fussed on him and he blends in to the show. That's the impression I am getting. Plus mums and grannies love a ballad over big productions with less challenging vocals.
I'm getting slightly concerned with Jay. Asked a few ppl tonight (all girls as well) who was their fav and they all said Jay :\ told my Mum to get on the Stevi bandwagon instead.
I'm thinking (not seen the show yet, but going by the "likes" and things) Andrea won't be in the bottom 2 this week, but instead he'll be the week 5 "shock" evictee next week.
I honestly believe 'Only The Young' are the only acts who could be successful following the x-Factor.
My comments on my favourite & least favourite acts of the night:
I'm kind of surprised at some of the negative reactions to Fleur tonight (elsewhere as well as on here). I thought she really brought it in terms of performance, effortlessly paid homage to MJ. Her vocal was pretty much as good as she has been for the last few weeks, and certainly quite strong considering all the choreography she was doing? Most popstars would be miming if they were dong choreography like that. Who else in this competition is performing to her standard? Lauren appeared to throw a wobbly over having to do *one* dance move! I just feel like we have a potential popstar on our hands in Fleur and I feel a bit sad that she seems to have a lot of detractors. It makes me fear that she could go far sooner than she should (i.e. before the final). I guess we all have different tastes and expectations, but personally I don't see how she could have been any better than she was tonight. I *pray* she makes it to the finals.
As much as I generally like Jack, he was pretty awful tonight. He sounded really whiny and the performance was just flat/dull - he did absolutely no justice to 'Bleeding Love' at all. He can usually sing so much better than that. I knew while he was performing that he was putting himself in danger to leave, and it was no real surprise when he did get eliminated. Like I said, I know we all have different tastes, but beyond the fact that Jack is eye candy he really wasn't up to scratch tonight. I know people would probably argue against this, but I personally feel that some of the people who find him attractive are kind of blinded and are letting that compensate for how he actually sounds/performs. If people genuinely thought he sounded great / performed amazingly regardless of how he looks then that's fair enough. For me he wasn't anywhere near as good tonight as he was in Week 1. Put his vocals from tonight into Andrea or Paul - would people have raved about them if they did a performance exactly like Jack's Bleeding Love? I doubt it!
Am i the only one who finds Jay hot? He has a gorgeous smile
Lauren was so terrible last night. The judges were deaf. Good choice of a modern Halloween song though.

The overs category is so strong this year, it feels like the best category whereas it's usually a retirement home for joke acts and other filler. Would be fantastic to see Fleur win, and unlike Sam Bailey (as much as I dearly love her) there'd be more mileage in her career than a mother's day album of rushed covers. Realistically though, I can see her coming 4th/5th.
I was out having a life last night so missed this. Did I miss much?
Ben was utterly painful just then...
dear god they all sound PAINFUL.
Well this is awful as usual
They're going to run out of Katy Perry songs soon
Jay, Paul and Lola were terrible So was Andrea in that group performance.
Also, how many times do Stereo Kicks need to point their fingers and do rap moves?
That was WOEFUL
Like seriously, did ANYONE hit a single right note there
I seriously do not understand why any of Stereo Kicks are there minus James? He seems to be the only one they want to let sing.
Lola MUST go. Laughable now.
oh lawd this is AWFUL Morseo than it usually is too
That group performance was AWFUL Lola Ben and Jay in particular.
my app votes:
2x Lauren Platt
2x Fleur East
1x Lola Saunders
Ben doing the long notes was the worst part, but it was horrific all the way through!
Wait since when has John Legend sold over 50 million singles?
Oh god
Might have to mute this
Can't wait for Cheryl though
Thank god it's not all of me :phew:
EDIT: Oh dear please don't be a mashup
Performing a mashup? All of Me is definitely in there isn't it...
2 of his biggest hits... Ugh All Of Me and Ordinary People?
That's enough. Muting tv. Someone tell me when it's done
I cannot put myself through the hell of me
NOOOoOOoOOoOooOoOooooooOoOOOoOOooooooooOOoOOOOoOOOOOOooOoOo
All Of Me
I love "All of Me" still and it's nice for X-factor to have a good vocalist on for once this series, so I'm quite enjoying this.
His line 'What's going on in that beautiful mind' sounded like 'f***s going on in that beautiful mind'
Ugh, what a f***ing DULL song
so ready for this 'I Don't Care' perf. gonna be nothing short of a hot mess *.*
Loved that John Legend performance! He has such a brilliant voice, could listen to him all day. All of Me still sounds great to me
I would cry if the same thing happened to her that happened on Stand Up To Cancer with the mic fails
I like All Of Me, mainly as my sister had it in her wedding.
I love All Of Me but aside from that John Legend is dull asf
Car crash performance coming up
I love how they are saying they are getting loads of votes this year, but I wonder how many of them are free votes?
Hey aren't even TRYING to pretend this is live
Oh god this is so awful.
Her miming skills have gone downhill.
mime ahoy
Great miming, really showing the acts how it's done!
It is pathetic that a judge has to mime...
I want to send Cheryl home tonight
This is the most obvious miming she has done out of her three solo performances on X Factor. Clearly she does not care
Cheryl was perfect and amazing
Looks like I'm the only one who thought that
YESSSSS CHERYL
Not sure what the issue with miming is, I'd rather she mimed than compromised the performance with a live vocal + heavy dance routine ~
SO BORING.
The song really sums up how I feel about both performances tonight.
Urgh, I can't believe that song is going to be #1. Such a dire performance for me.
The SONG is good, despite everything she tries to render it otherwise. She's just an utterly unpleasant person, performer, everything.
Come on, did you all seriously expect her to sing live!?! It was a decent performance, I'd have personally liked a better dance routine, but it will do the job of keeping the song stable at the top.
She doesn't choose not to sing because she includes heavy dance routines, she chooses not to sing because she knows she can't.
Lol at the talk of compromising her vocals. She would be incredibly lucky to string TWO WORDS together in tune. She's literally a worse singer than GERI HALLIWELL and without any of the charm/desperation she brought to the table.
Tbh lets remember the last time she sung live.
POOR FIREFLIES.
I am agog that anyone thinks she COULD sing, even if she wanted to.
NO ANDREA.
YES BEN
ONLY THE YOUNG!
Yes! Only The Young
Fleur
YASSSS Only the Young
Yesssssss Fleur I was worried for her a bit there.
Had to be Paul.
Stereo Kicks be gone please.
At this rate the finalists are gone be all Overs.
stereo kicks out asap plz.
I'm not worried who goes now, but I'm thinking it be Lola out of the 2
Loooool omg amazing.
I'd love them to fall apart in the sing-off and Lola to slay and stay. She isn't the most exciting but still I like her.
I hope Stereo Kicks goes, but I have a feeling Lola might. I hope they have a good sing off though as the last couple sing offs have been rather bad.
Wow was really expecting it to be Paul vs Lola but i'm glad Paul is safe one thing i'm liking about this series is that it seems the voters are not just voting for who they think are 'hot' or 'fit'.
Really surprised stereo kicks are bottom 2. Anyway hope Lola survives as she's my 3rd favourite
Would love The Veronicas and Paloma Faith on the show next week
Bye bye Lola! You're awful!
Lola is gone then
I hope Stereo Kicks really mess their sing-off up so the judges have no choice but to save Lola but I bet it'll be her who goes
Louis/Simon will save Stereo Kicks and Cheryl/Mel will save Lola, it'll then go to deadlock and Lola will have less public votes
Tbh I think only Cheryl will save Lola
LOLA SMASHING IT.
Need Stereo Kicks to stay. Lola is decent but she's so forgettable and just wouldn't make it or stand out in the real world. And the band seem to be progressing whereas she peaked at judges houses.
Bit of a shouty performance
no matter how good stereo kicks are, if they stay after Lola just KILLED that, there's something seriously wrong.
Think this is going to deadlock.
Hope Stereo Kicks go though... we don't like them, get the hint. Too many punchable faces.
Lola had some really good moments then. Love her Joss Stone-esque tone.
Lola smashed that! Really hope she stays but there's no way unless Stereo Kicks are as bad as OTY were last week
well this is a mess.
Oh gosh here is another butchered version of Perfect...
AWFUL.
This is not going well at all
you really can't hear any of them at all over the sound of James going full-on diva mode. it's starting to get rly irritating.
The harmony was good but like 5 of them can't sing alone. They must go.
Lola was great! Really hope she stays although I think it'll be a deadlock with her leaving
Oh the rap is a cringe
Awful.
If Stereo Kicks survive again then they are gonna get forced on us like Union J were.
Stereo Kicks were off at first but came together and was quite good too.
THIS IS WHY I HATE MEL.
The crowd thought Simon was gonna send home Lola.
Why did mel save the band
I loved Lola
for fuck SAKE.
Bye bye Lola!
What's the point of a sing off when a shockingly horrific performance like that gets you through?!
f***ing Mel B. Lola was a bit dull and just "there" at times, but Stereo Kicks are clearly not very well liked and that's probably just going to get worse as they force them on us in weeks to come. Just because 1D did so well, doesn't mean they will too...
Disco fever?!?! Um, what about the boyband and girlband week? I hate disco week, who on earth is going to record a disco song after the competition?
So, Stevi is the only Wild Card left.
Seriously at those guests
They had 2 amazing potentials and instead we have a bad boyband and another act we have literally seen every single week as a guest who doesn't have a song out for a month
So much for Boyband V Girlband next week. So we have Disco week, which has seen Abo perform a piano ballad in the past.
Disco week next week
Andrea doing disco
ONLY THE YOUNG - DISCO LOVE.
I get the feeling Simon may have been told that Lola was bottom of the vote so saved her after Mel plumped for Stereo Kicks to try and make us believe that he's not seeing $ signs in his eyes every time he looks at them. Had Mel sent home Stereo Kicks, he'd have gone for Lola I'm sure.
One Direction and Sam Smith on next week. Sam Smith's got a great voice so his performance should be good. Not looking forward to 1D though
Finally a decent boyband on next week
Lola really deserved to go, not based on the sing off, but the last few weeks
NOT Sam I am everywhere Smith and One Direction... How many times have they been mentioned / had Louis on the show?
And Disco Week
Also, shame I miss 1D next week (seeing Kylie)
Very predictable result, Lola does have an amazing voice but so hard to get excited by her. I thought she had a bit more potential than Stereo Kicks though, Mel was annoying with her comment tbh.
Also so boring to see comments about Cheryl miming or whatever, people are such begs for likes/retweets moaning about her on social media sites tbh.
I wonder how many people will claim it's a scandal and they were deceived that One Direction aren't live in the studio next sunday and the pre-recorded it this weekend.
So I done some snooping on Stereo Kicks and found this...
Love to see Fleur doing Chaka Khan's hit I Feel For You, she could really nail that but I feel its more dance.
Apparently Queen & Adam Lambert, Olly Murs, Sam Bailey, Take That, Ella Henderson and Rihanna are performing in the coming weeks.
How can Queen perform? Freddie Mercury is kind of dead.
Good exposure for Adam
Sad to see Lola go, especially over Stereo Kicks...
But looking forward to next week. Someone better perform Disco Love
I would welcome a girls aloud vs spice girls week. The show needs new themes and they have plenty to choose from.
What, so they've changed next weekend's theme from Disco Week to MJ vs Queen?? Or is MJ vs Queen just a theme for a future weekend?
Oh, and that Charlie Jones song is BEYOND AWFUL.
I'm disgusted at Mel B sending Lola home yet keeping shite like Stereo Kicks in.
These lot are the worst boyband they have ever had on the show.
Twice in bottom 2 - clearly many people don't like them - Me for one.
Disco Week next week - I'm not going to bother watching next Saturday - I hate disco. Always the same old rubbish.
They'd do better having Dance/RnB or Rock week.
No wonder the show is losing viewers
Look at One Direction and Ella Henderson who never made the final but look at them now. One Direction conquered the US and Ella is doing great with plenty of Top 10s in Europe - getting to #3 in Australia & #6 in New Zealand.
Cher Lloyd is doing reasonably well in US.
What have the winners done anyway outside UK & Ireland (apart from Little Mix & Leona) nothing.
Most have done nothing in the UK either apart from winners singles.
The Dance/R&B week would be pretty brilliant actually! Can't wait for the annual Rock week though . Gonna guess Lauren will do Lorde 'Royals'!
Oh God, Lola out like really Mel?
