Who is excited for the yearly rendneitons of And I Am Telling You and My Heart Will Go On?

Posted by: Cameron 21st October 2014, 04:45 PM

Will the curse of There You'll Be return?

Desperate for Only The Young to do Boom Clap! But it wont happen

Posted by: HausofAquarius 21st October 2014, 04:47 PM

My favourite week based on the theme. Hoping for some INSPIRED numbers, but i suppose that's asking for a bit much for this show/series lol.

Posted by: ►▲N 21st October 2014, 04:51 PM

And I Will Always Love You

I hope no-one sings Let It Go but apparently it's been banned so yayyyyy

Posted by: Liаm 21st October 2014, 04:51 PM

Andrea's already performed And I Am Telling You so maybe not that (although Paul did Ghost after OTY sang it at JH) but I'll be astounded if nobody sings One Night Only or Listen

And yeah I heard Simon banned Let It Go from auditions so I doubt he'd un-ban it now. It'd be a good choice for Lola or Lauren though!

Posted by: Regina 21st October 2014, 04:53 PM

Someone to perform That's How You Know or Happy Working Song please

Posted by: sammy01 21st October 2014, 04:53 PM

Unless Stereo Kicks pull off something epic I cant see them not being in the bottom 2 again. The press for them so far this week has been awful with rumours of losing members, leaked nude pics (and not of Barclay which might have actually helped) and the pasting they got on Xtra factor.

Who is ready for a ballad version of Lady Marmalade #cries

Posted by: Jonjo 21st October 2014, 05:18 PM

He probably banned 'Let It Go' because he knew everyone would do it at auditions or something. So now they're in the lives and they can only perform it once (twice depending on if they decide to use it as their "Best Performance of Series" in the final or something) I can't see any reason as to why it'd be banned. Especially if one of the favourites could perform it, it's just too big a song for it not to be included.

I can see Andrea butchering it, or Lauren doing her stuff with it. Hmm... hope someone does get to do it. Would love for it to get help to push it closer and over a million!

Posted by: Jack 21st October 2014, 05:40 PM

I think Chloe would have done a good version of that, shame.

Boom Clap would be perfect for Only The Young. Fleur should do U Know Whats Up .

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 21st October 2014, 05:43 PM

Let it go for Lauren please
Also a hairspray song, dreamgirls song, my heart will go on and sweeter than fiction are others I want

Posted by: -Jay- 21st October 2014, 07:16 PM

It'd be nice if Celine Dion's 'Because You Loved Me' was chosen instead of 'My Heart Will Go On' (if they use a Celine movie song).

Posted by: dragonleader 21st October 2014, 07:23 PM

I think Only The Young should do what they were going to do last week. "The Power of Love" from Back To The Future.

Alternatively they could do License To Kill.

Posted by: sammy01 21st October 2014, 08:02 PM

OTY need to do something recent, right now they are bordering on 'naff'. I think they are likable and perform well, but they need something cool to sing. Little Mix really took off with doing E.T and Don't let go, although Don't let go is older it is seen as a really cool song. Little Mix also did Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Kesha, xtina, Beyonce, Nicki and Bieber.

Notice that list screams modern.

Posted by: FROOT. 21st October 2014, 08:14 PM

Well we know that 'Listen' will be performed.

Posted by: Liаm 21st October 2014, 08:22 PM

Another reason for them to do Boom Clap! I agree with those who have said that it would be such a good choice for them!

Posted by: dragonleader 21st October 2014, 08:35 PM

I have just listened to OTY on the Sarah Jane Crawford show earlier today on BBC 1Xtra. They gave hints for this weeks song:

Blue
Sunglasses
Hats

They haven't confirmed it but I think i figured it out! All Saints - Pure Shores! (from the movie The Beach)

If it is that, OMG, it's a brilliant song! I loved it back in the day and it's still a great song! Hope it's that!

Posted by: Martyn 21st October 2014, 08:46 PM

As long as someone doesn't try and ballid it more than it already is.

I can see someone trying to do a ballid version of a Greece uptempo like the new Chanel number 5 advert.

Someone called do Jump and get slated for it.

I'd love someone to do a song from the S Club movie.

If only Blonde Electra were still in they could do Trouble by Shampoo from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie (amazing song, amazing movie)

Posted by: Jack 21st October 2014, 09:18 PM

Yes, Pure Shores could also be an amazing choice for them!

Posted by: Hayzayy 21st October 2014, 09:29 PM

Let it go PLEASE

Oh and JUMP! of course

Posted by: ►▲N 22nd October 2014, 11:35 AM

what a shame Chloe is now out. Movie week would've really suited her actually

Pure Shores would be a good choice for OTY I think, or any other song that doesn't sound dated

Posted by: THEO. 22nd October 2014, 12:11 PM

I'm actually really surprised at how Only The Young have lasted so long with two utterly abysmal song choices for the live shows thus far. I especially thought they were going this week after hot male brown hair one seemed to refuse to sing a couple of his lines and their retorts to the judges post-performance. Hopefully they'll finally sing something contemporary, they were my favourites before the lives started and now they're just...eh.

Posted by: sammy01 22nd October 2014, 02:28 PM

Oh god not Pure Shores it is an utterly dull song, OTY are all about energy and fun.

Posted by: euro music 25th October 2014, 11:16 AM

I think Bryan Adams - Everything I Do would be good for Ben!

Posted by: JohnnyCartersBoy 25th October 2014, 06:18 PM

Just heard OTY's song for tonight (As all of the songs are up on itunes now) and OMG!!! I cant wait!

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 06:58 PM

Right let's do this shizzle!

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 06:59 PM

From the clips, this is gonna be a long couple of hours

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 07:02 PM

That's right gang, I am not working or having a social life, so it is X FACTOR time.

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 07:04 PM

Dermot should never sing.

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:05 PM

Jake first while Strictly is still on and people think they aren't trying to get rid of Jake.

Posted by: n4yr 25th October 2014, 07:05 PM

Jake getting the death slot

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 07:05 PM

Stereo Kicks, Ben and Stevi last Christ, might have to turn off

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 07:05 PM

Argh Jake on first. Danger zone.


Mel had to check who she had on first.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 25th October 2014, 07:07 PM

I'm starting to watch in about half an hour so I'll join you all later

So excited for Lauren

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 25th October 2014, 07:07 PM

Ugh.... got a mental picture in my mind of a naked Jake

Posted by: Cameron 25th October 2014, 07:08 PM

Jake is this years Sam Callaghan by far

he's also flat

Posted by: Dobbo 25th October 2014, 07:08 PM

Pretty weak vocal, and failed at that falsetto...

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:08 PM

I really feel for Jake because this is so obvious setting him up to fail.

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 07:09 PM

Omg that painful attempt at the big "key change" Such a bland and just "there" performance, he has very little presence.

01 Jake Quickenden - She's Like The Wind 2/10

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th October 2014, 07:09 PM

That was absolutely naff SURELY he's gone this week???

02.0 Jake Quickenden

Posted by: HausofAquarius 25th October 2014, 07:09 PM

Oh dear. Some of those notes :S I did like the arrangement/production though!

1. Jake Quickenden 3.0

Posted by: J▼hnkm 25th October 2014, 07:09 PM

What a disaster!!! f***ing awful vocals

Posted by: n4yr 25th October 2014, 07:09 PM

Jake: weak vocal; dull song. 2/10.

Posted by: Sean. 25th October 2014, 07:09 PM

Hes definitely the weakest of Mel's category.

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 07:09 PM

f***ing hell, that was terrible. There's no covering that up with song choice or anything.

Posted by: HausofAquarius 25th October 2014, 07:10 PM

Yeah they really set him up there with those horrid high notes that he couldn't sing and those flat vocals #justice4jake

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 07:10 PM

Posted by: J▼hnkm 25th October 2014, 07:10 PM

Also, Cherly's HAIR is abysmal

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 07:10 PM

They aren't even hiding they are aiming the bus squarely at Jake.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 25th October 2014, 07:11 PM

Seriously after that performance I didn't think much of that

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:11 PM

He could have been on last with a fun upbeat song that didn't take too much singing *cough Fleur cough*

Posted by: Davidson 25th October 2014, 07:12 PM

Jake Quickenden - Awful. Flat throughout and dull song choice. Hopefully secured his exit. - 2.5/10.0

Posted by: Jason 25th October 2014, 07:13 PM

Bye bye Jake. He is ready to join any male stripper agency now.

Jake 3.0

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:13 PM

I think that is what is annoying me, it is beyond obvious he is being targeted. I kind of hope it backfires this week and people feel sorry for him. The thing I think makes me uneasy about it is he isn't stupid and must know they are doing it too.

Posted by: -Jay- 25th October 2014, 07:15 PM

As ever, if he was any good then he wouldn't be targeted. He just did a completely woeful performance and absolutely deserves to go. Besides, they've plugged his shirtless pictures twice tonight, at least they're displaying the talents he does have.

Posted by: werewolfPL 25th October 2014, 07:15 PM

Boring and pretty much awful. Bye Jake. You can give me that personal training anytime you want though.

1.5/10 - Jake

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 07:16 PM

Ohhh, I knew Boom Clap was too good of a song choice for Louis to choose it

Posted by: HausofAquarius 25th October 2014, 07:17 PM

AND HE COULD HAVE SANG WELL!? Why do you keep overlooking that

They've been pimping him out this entire series giving him the final scenes at auditions/houses etc AND his tirade of shirtless pictures tonight. He just hasn't performed well at the lives so why would they want to keep him in??

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:17 PM

Well this is just as flat and shit as Jake, I knew this song choice would be dire.

Posted by: Davidson 25th October 2014, 07:18 PM

Only The Young - Just can't get on board with them at all. Each of the solos were very flat and when they sing together it was very uninteresting. Disappointing. - 4.5/10.0

Only The Young - 4.5
Jake Quickenden - 2.5

Posted by: Dobbo 25th October 2014, 07:19 PM

This really wasn't as good as I was expecting, but I'm just glad it's not a dull lifeless ballad like 75% will be tonight.

Posted by: Jason 25th October 2014, 07:19 PM

Only The Young - 6.0

A bit disappointed with OTY. I was expecting much better with this brilliant song choice.

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th October 2014, 07:19 PM

That was SO good They've FINALLY found something current that suits them, more of that please.

09.0 Only The Young
02.0 Jake Quickenden

Posted by: HausofAquarius 25th October 2014, 07:20 PM

YASSS this is so what they need to be doing - although i think the studio version might sound a little better than that. Regardless, they make me so happy lmaoooo.

Think i might have a new favourite act

1. Only The Young 9.0
2. Jake Quickenden 3.0

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:20 PM

So far both Jake and OTY have been crap, lambs to the slaughter to help Stereo Kicks?

Posted by: Sean. 25th October 2014, 07:20 PM

Jake: 3/10
Only The Young: 6/10

Nothing special for either.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 25th October 2014, 07:21 PM

Oops, brown haired girl is really flat

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 07:21 PM

Oh Only The Young it could have bebeen better. Still good though. I prefer ed their other two performances I think, I still hope they're safe.

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th October 2014, 07:21 PM

Must EVERYTHING be some kind of conspiracy to you? Just sit back and enjoy the show!

Posted by: Cameron 25th October 2014, 07:21 PM

It was great, except the Betsy's solo :/

Posted by: J▼hnkm 25th October 2014, 07:21 PM

Hat chorus did not sound live at all, especially not compared with the totally out of tune verses

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 07:21 PM

Eek. That was certainly not a Little Mix moment... It wasn't terrible but the blond girl especially was pretty bad in the verses. The chorus was pretty good but perhaps they're better off with their fun/cheesy side!

01 Only The Young - Boom Clap 6/10
02 Jake Quickenden - She's Like The Wind 2/10

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 07:22 PM

Oh god here we go with the aural pain next

Posted by: n4yr 25th October 2014, 07:22 PM

Only The Young: A little underwhelmed but still great.

Why is them changing the song such a big deal?

Posted by: Rooney 25th October 2014, 07:22 PM

I thought the blonde girl was really flat and off key, but I did really like the song.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 25th October 2014, 07:23 PM

Could have been much better, but a big improvement on last week 6.5/10

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:24 PM

Well I don't watch X factor thinking everything just happens as it happens. To me it is all staged and manipulated in as many ways as they can to get the votes/results the producers/Simon want.

I could never just sit and watch something like X factor and take it at face value.

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 07:24 PM

Only The Young just seem like awful people (especially the brown haired guy)


Jay James is seriously camper than me.

Posted by: Jason 25th October 2014, 07:25 PM

Jay James 4.0 - The king of boringness is back. Where's Adele please?


Only The Young - 6.0
Jay James - 4.0
Jake - 2.5

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 25th October 2014, 07:25 PM

I love this song to bits, no one does it better than Adele to be honest, the song just suits a female voice, just found his performance pretty limp. 3/10

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:25 PM

This is utterly painful from Jay, totally out of his vocal range.

Sadly I'm finding him hotter each week though #helpme

Posted by: Dobbo 25th October 2014, 07:25 PM

By contrast, this was a lot better than I thought it would be. Credit where it's due, decent performance.

Posted by: Davidson 25th October 2014, 07:25 PM

Jay James - Please go away and get some vocal training learning how to not sing through your nose. I just hate him. - 4.0/10.0

Only The Young - 4.5
Jay James - 4.0
Jake Quickenden - 2.5

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th October 2014, 07:26 PM

That was so bad lol. He seems to be getting progressively worse each week.

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 07:27 PM

That was terrible. So f***ing boring, Jesus Christ. Cheryl is on point with her comments but you aren't allowed to give him negative comments.

Posted by: HausofAquarius 25th October 2014, 07:27 PM

I quite liked that. Didn't sound as strained as i thought it would. On third though the producers might want him out (but not as much as they want OTY and Jake out ofc x)

1. Only The Young 9.0
2. Jay James 7.5
3. Jake Quickenden 3.0

Posted by: n4yr 25th October 2014, 07:27 PM

Jay: just average.

Posted by: ►▲N 25th October 2014, 07:27 PM

Jake Quickenden was really awful. It would be a big moment if he got through this round.

Only The Young were okay, slightly better than last 2 weeks but they still don't excite me as much as they should.

Jay James, that wasn't as bad as I feared but the song was too big for him and he just gave a dull performance.

6.0/10 Only The Young
4.5/10 Jay James
3.0/10 Jake Quickenden

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:28 PM

Turn it into your version? Didn't he just copy the Adele version Simon?

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 07:28 PM

Absolutely horrific. Dull is not the word... He just doesn't have the vocals; his voice is too weak. And no Simon, he just gets WORSE. Also, why does he ALWAYS have to mention his military background and his bloody family? If Hanna Barrett was bottom 2 with her brilliant rendition last year, Jay should be straight out of the competition... I don't wanna jump into the conspiracy theories but it seems so scripted with only Cheryl giving him bad comments despite him giving 3 absolutely horrific performances in a row.

01 Only The Young - Boom Clap 6/10
02 Jake Quickenden - She's Like The Wind 2/10
03 Jay James - Skyfall 1/10

Posted by: J▼hnkm 25th October 2014, 07:30 PM

Agreeing with Cheryl is makes me feel disgusting, but I DO

Posted by: werewolfPL 25th October 2014, 07:31 PM

Only The Young were the best by far. Jay James - his voice is just too weak for that kind of song + he is plain booooooooooooooooring.

7/10 - Only The Young
3/10 - Jay James
1.5/10 - Jake

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:31 PM

I cant at the running order too, 3 of Simon's acts and his hopeful cash cow Stereo Kicks as the last 4 performers.

Posted by: Dobbo 25th October 2014, 07:32 PM

Well there has to be an order somehow. Doesn't mean the producers "want out" the first 3 acts?

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 07:34 PM

That's very blind hope from him then They'd be lucky to do a Union J after the show tbh...

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:36 PM

I think he'll give them this week to turn it around, pimp slot near the end, good comments etc and if it doesn't turn the voting round then next week they will be given up on.

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 07:37 PM

Bored of Andrea tbh.

Reminds me of Danyl Johnson, ew.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 25th October 2014, 07:37 PM

Andrea Faustini - 8.5 - Brilliant vocals. I didn't like this predictable song choice though.

Posted by: Dobbo 25th October 2014, 07:37 PM

After hearing about a million versions of this, this felt a little disjointed at times? He's still an interesting performer and nailed the big notes.

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 07:37 PM

I've only ever heard Listen on The X Factor.

Posted by: HausofAquarius 25th October 2014, 07:38 PM

Decent but we've seen this song performed SO many times on the show and this doesn't rank close to being the best. Predictable and not even pulling it off how he should. Far too loud at the end.

About the same as every other Andrea performance so far so I'll score it as such. Vocally good but nothing more really.

02.0 Jake Quickenden

Posted by: ►▲N 25th October 2014, 07:38 PM

Andrea's worst performance to date, mostly down to the song choice admittedly. Listen is so dull and this was nothing more than a good karaoke version of it. At least he can sing well. He needs less predictable song choices

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 25th October 2014, 07:40 PM

Nothing much

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 07:40 PM

MUCH better than last week. It wasn't "INCREDIBLE!!1!1" or anything because that's a song that has performances by Alexandra Burke and Melanie Amaro that define talent show brilliance and not many singers can live up to those. Of all big diva ballads though, they really could have chosen something less cliche!

01 Andrea Faustini - Listen 8/10
02 Only The Young - Boom Clap 6/10
03 Jake Quickenden - She's Like The Wind 2/10
04 Jay James - Skyfall 1/10

Posted by: Davidson 25th October 2014, 07:41 PM

Andrea Faustini - Was slightly too big for him I felt and he struggled to go higher towards the end but, overall, head and shoulders above everyone else so far. He really can SANG. - 9.0/10.0

Andrea Faustini - 9.0
Only The Young - 4.5
Jay James - 4.0
Jake Quickenden - 2.5

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:41 PM

Andrea has the voice, he's doing it the way he wants I guess with these songs and tbh these sorts of songs are what he would do after the show too. Will it be enough though.

Posted by: Jester 25th October 2014, 07:41 PM

We'll I for one thought Andrea was amazing!

Posted by: Sean. 25th October 2014, 07:41 PM

Jay: 2/10
Andrea: 8/10

Andrea this week was definitely an improvement from last week!

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 07:43 PM

I think the main reason I don't like him is just because everyone bums him so much, which is a silly reason, but eh.

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 07:44 PM

Wrong song choice for her, she could have done better, just found it pretty average 4/10

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 07:52 PM

Lola is so beige and basic. I don't see how anyone can get excited by her.

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 07:52 PM

Hmm, Lola was good enough but some parts were a bit ropey... She has a great tone and potentially an amazing voice but that wasn't the best she can be. Still pretty lovely though. She just needs to work on her presence, I hope she gets a non-ballad song soon... I think Son Of A Preacher Man would have been great for this week!

01 Andrea Faustini - Listen 8/10
02 Lola Saunders - When You Believe 7/10

Thing is I'd expect the 'peak' viewership to be around 9ish, not really sure performing at 9.45 is much good really, especially since you can vote straight away.

Quite weak from Lola, very shaky. Hopefully she'll be safe though.

Lola and Jay could well be in trouble, I don't see either as having a big fanbase that vote for them whatever they sing or sound like, I think they are very performance dependent and neither did well.

So far I'd not be surprised if any of Jake, OTY, Lola or Jay are bottom 2.

Posted by: Dobbo 25th October 2014, 07:55 PM

Lola nailed it. Again. Brilliant stuff.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 25th October 2014, 07:57 PM

Finally caught up so

Jake- oh dear, that was bad
Only the young- So disappointing and pretty flat
Jay- that was a pretty good performance
Andrea- Loved him for once, that performance was amazing. And also I adore listen
Lola- Wow that was beautiful, fantastic and stunning. What a performance- I might actually but it

To be honest I don't even recognise the song, I don't think the public are going to click with this, found it pretty average again. 4/10

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 08:00 PM

I always forget about Paul tbh. All these guys merge in to one bar Jack and Andrea.

Nice to see him change things up a bit and he's a far more interesting performer than most of the other guys, but shame I don't like that song whoever sings it...

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 08:01 PM

Really Lola a 10? She wasn't awful, but she was so pitchy in places and struggled with a song that was too big for her.

phew this is really grating tonight, 6 acts in an hour

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 08:02 PM

That was brilliant Way better than I expected, I love that song anyway but it suited his voice so well and he gave it more energy than he usually does. Why are they saying it's out of his comfort zone though?! Just because he has to move? It's still a soul song, which is his lane.

He's more my type (as a rule) than Jake body wise I say as Dan Osborne is my #1 crush

Jake is more "get your arse out for a gay magazine" but Paul is more "normal" hot.

I don't want to change this as it's already a ballad so I can't slow it down any more.

What is the actual differnce between the two versions though? Other than person singing it?

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 08:05 PM

Lauren is far more boring than Andrea, anyone who says otherwise is in denial.

This is pretty weak too.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 25th October 2014, 08:06 PM

If that was out of Paul's comfort zone, his zone must be about 3cm

I'm really backing Lauren for the win, I absolutely adore her! Downloaded her song from iTunes once again just now.

If all else fails she could always join Eastenders as some sort of lost link between Nancy Carter and Lauren Branning

Idina's is more theatrical and show tune-y, Demi's is poppier. That's why they used Idina in the film but Demi in the credits/to "promote" the film.

Is he even capable of being on stage without the guitar or?

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 08:18 PM

Classic case of guy with a guitar and the public fall in love. Oh, and plugging shirtless snaps too, it's a mini Jake. I agree with Louis he was boring and Cheryl was spot on yet again about using the stage. Him to go in a few weeks

Posted by: Hayzayy 25th October 2014, 08:19 PM

I wonder how Jake the reject made it to live shows, really.
He's sounding awful, he can't sing. He's looking like a mockery of Geordie Shore C-List. Disgusting.

Anyway, Only The Young and Lauren were brilliant.

Oh and Jack is very good as usual.

Eveything else is a bore.

Posted by: Dobbo 25th October 2014, 08:19 PM

A lot better than last week, helped by a bonafide classic of a song. Not outstanding by any means but again, not a dull lifeless ballad performance.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 25th October 2014, 08:20 PM

If Lauren gets flack for always turning songs into ballads to suit her, the same can be said for Jack turning songs into an Ed Sheeran uptempo to suit him surely? Having said that, that was a good-ish performance, his voice was lost in the instrumental a bit at times though. I just find myself a bit bored by him sometimes.

she has such a good recording voice, what a performance! I knew she had potential and she delivered. UK public will probably vote her out soon Not helped by the fact she has lots of backing vocals. Love that she's got good judge comments tonight anyhow.

Fleur was brilliant as always.

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 08:29 PM

I have to admit that was even better than Lauren She edged it just slightly. She just has everything that a star needs. The confidence, the voice, the performance skills... She really is like a guest star performing their single.

Stereo Kicks and Stevi coming up next dear lordT
Can't they spread the good acts throughout the show so we keep watching, but have some toilet breaks as well?

EDIT: The good ones obviously being Fleur, OTY and Lauren

Posted by: Mattluck 25th October 2014, 08:30 PM

Vocal wice its her best， but the last line is bad

Posted by: ►▲N 25th October 2014, 08:30 PM

all you Fleur fans if you haven't heard this song yet check it out



more proof that she could potentially make some great songs if she gets the chance to off the back of this competition.

Amazing track this, I echo the above!

Posted by: مدهش* 25th October 2014, 08:31 PM

I absolutely hate Lady Marmalade but Fleur made that so much better than I expected it to be, she is the only performer I've ever seen on this show where it feels more like she's one of the professionals on a Sunday than a contestant.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 25th October 2014, 08:31 PM

I really think she could go all the way now, the rest of the acts should take note.

Mind you Only The Young and Lauren Platt were good tonight and the rest need to step up

Stevi is horribly embarrassing and they need to stop being like "SEX GOD!!1!1" when he looks like a Bassett hound. Still, I would genuinely rather watch all of his performances in succession than one of Jay's. At least he knows he's a joke I guess

Posted by: Parallel Reality 25th October 2014, 08:43 PM

This Stereokicks performance is confusing me, the arrangement at the start makes it feel like there are triple the amount of members.

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 08:43 PM

I really don't like how they are making out going to school as the most pointless and awful thing in the world.

Why are they staging this like the charity single with all the finalists? Whoever opened on Let It Be was awfully out of tune.

That was MUCH better than they've been before now, the vocals were actually on point and they worked quite well together for once. I still don't think they have the stage presence that they should have by now though and 8 is far too many for sure.

Posted by: Davidson 25th October 2014, 08:46 PM

Stereo Kicks - Lead singer really saved that, his vocals were really good on this performance. I am glad they worked on their harmonies as well, sounded far better together this week. They just don't feel like a band to me though, it was very much like a decent group performance at the start of the Sunday show. - 6.0/10.0

Stereo Kicks were nothing special and it's making me laugh at how much the producers and the judges are seemingly throwing everything at them from the VT introducing them separately (again!) to the over-the-top judges reaction to the staging lighting them up individually to try and get them votes and support and people to invest in them!

What on earth were they listening to?! The vocals were painful, I'm sorry but he just growls and sounds like he needs a good cough. It was just a hugely inferior karaoke version of the original. I just don't get his appeal at all, he looked really bored, nervous and uncomfortable throughout :/ I can definitely see that being the highest on iTunes though, it'll be him or Lauren.

Tonight was terrible, I'd say only Paul performed above the average set for each contestant. Andrea was his usual good vocals self. The rest was awful for the most part. OTY and Stevi bottom 2 please cus that would be interesting as to who would be saved.

When Stevi isn't the bottom contestant - you must be seriously bad! The biggest improvement this week was from Stereo Kicks easily. The biggest 'drop' in quality was probably Lola - very boring and uneventful. Most below average - hence the majority of acts I marked under 6/10. The top 5 were good, but unspectacular again this week.

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 09:05 PM

Fleur was the only one who really brought it this week I think. Only The Young, Jack, Lauren and Stereo Kicks were all pretty good too.

1x Only The Young (loved parts of this and so badly want a mixed pop band back in the charts)

5 votes for Only The Young. I just can't stop warming to them and i'm praying they do well.

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 09:10 PM

I'm gonna hazard a guess at a Jake and Only The Young bottom 2, with Lola, Jack and Stevi also in danger.

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 09:11 PM

I am gonna predict a Lola and Jake bottom two. It is just one going home this week right?!

Yeah!!! just the one

Posted by: Dobbo 25th October 2014, 09:13 PM

Have to give all 5 votes to Lola, she's in trouble simply for being female IMO.

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th October 2014, 09:14 PM

Also predicting a Jake and Lola bottom 2 here, not sure who else would be in danger really.

I accidentally voted for Andrea trying to swipe left ffs. Only reason he is doing well I think.

I'll predict a jake and Stevi bottom 2 with jake going

Posted by: troylovesmusic 25th October 2014, 09:25 PM

My ranking for tonight

1 Fleur East (She SMASHED it)
2 Paul Aikster
3 Lauren Platt
4 Andrea
5 Stereo Kicks (actually thought they were really good this week )

6 Only The Young
7 Jay James
8 Ben Haenow
9 Lola Saunders
10 Jack Walton
11 Jake Quickinden
12 Stevi Ritchie

The top 5 were really good the rest were either average or terrible.

My App votes went all to Fleur as well

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 09:28 PM

I forgot I have the android app on my phone too

2x Lauren
2x OTY
1x Lola (the latter two as they're in trouble but I like them, the former as my overall fave)

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 09:31 PM

Dreading next week and Halloween songs. I'm trying so hard to like this series of the X factor (mainly for Mel B but even she seems to realise it is shit).

Posted by: ►▲N 25th October 2014, 09:32 PM

3x Fleur East
2x Lola Saunders

Paul was my 2nd favourite but Lola needs my votes more and she's normally better. Fleur was my favourite of tonight easily and so got 3 votes.

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 09:38 PM

Facebook likes for the pics of each performance, after 40 mins of the show being over:

Andrea Faustini 13.6k
Lauren Platt 10.4k
Fleur East 9k
Lola Saunders 7.7k
Ben Haenow 7.3k
Jay James 7.1k
Paul Akister 6.9k
Jake Quickenden 3.8k
Stevi Richie 3.7k
Jack Walton 3.2k
Only The Young 1.7k
Stereo Kicks 1.4k (split across three pictures?! Would probably be higher if there was just one idk)

I know they've shown to be less reliable at predicting the bottom 2 than there were shown to be in the Aussie version (more or less every week they were bang on), but it's interesting to see how they correlate with the bottom 2. I'll do an update tomorrow.

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 09:39 PM

Well they got the bottom 2 to go spot on last week. Tbh it is a toss up between the bottom 5 this week.

Posted by: Dobbo 25th October 2014, 09:41 PM

Seeing those results gives me a little more confidence in Lola surviving but they had Stereo Kicks about that high up the order last week and they were still bottom 3...

Posted by: Luke_ 25th October 2014, 09:43 PM

01 Fleur East
02 Paul Akister
03 Jack Walton
04 Only The Young

05 Stereo Kicks
06 Andrea Faustini
07 Lauren Platt
08 Ben Haenow (I like his voice, however I have to agree with Mel that there was no emotion)

09 Jay James
10 Jake Quickenden
11 Lola Saunders
12 Stevi Ritchie (just NO)

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 09:44 PM

Halloween next week? If they survive I hope that Only The Young do a version of Things That Go Bump In The Night.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 25th October 2014, 09:49 PM

I actually don't have a clue what I want to hear for Halloween week
Possibly stay (Shakespeare's sister), ghost (Ella Henderson), e.t. (Katy) and haunted (Taylor)

Posted by: ►▲N 25th October 2014, 09:53 PM

The X Factor are uninspired but surely they wouldn't use Ghost next week when they used it in week 1 of the finals that would be a new low for them

I think OTY and Jake are in danger

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 09:57 PM

I hope the group performance is a medley of hits from Spiceworld: The Movie

Posted by: Dobbo 25th October 2014, 10:01 PM

They're definitely gonna stretch the boundaries of the theme next week like when Craig sang Set Fire To The Rain (how exactly is that Hallowe'en-based?)

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 10:03 PM

Interesting that on xtra factor Jack has said the issue they had is they wanted him to dance and perform and rip his shirt open at the end of the song and he wouldn't do it. Seems weird to be taking the moral high ground when he has just done a naked shoot and doing a bit of performance and dancing wouldn't hurt him tbh.

Posted by: HausofAquarius 25th October 2014, 10:03 PM

The Mel / Jack drama was apparently about his performance. They wanted him to have his shirt ripped open and make it more of a performance but he was against it. Good on him not wanting to use his body to sell the performance~

Posted by: Sean. 25th October 2014, 10:05 PM

Oh lordy. Stick to the theme



I guess the judges would criticise the shirtless in performance yet be more lenient on it being in the introductory video.

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 10:08 PM

Stevi did it first week though having his shirt ripped open and I don't recall them slating him for it?

Posted by: Sean. 25th October 2014, 10:09 PM

Stevi could do anything and the judges would merit it on grounds of being a performance. Jack is vocally better than Jake so I can see why Mel would rather him do the stripping and not Jake

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 10:10 PM

Also the naked mag shoot Jake did was for a cancer charity, which is what his brother died of, shame that wasn't mentioned on the main show though.

Posted by: -Jay- 25th October 2014, 10:10 PM

I'd love that!

Looking forward to Jack's Attitude shoot. https://twitter.com/attitudemag/status/526106318126710784

Posted by: Liаm 25th October 2014, 10:22 PM

Ghost was already done by Paul in week 1 and OTY at judges' houses, I don't need it again as fab as the original is Yaaaass at Haunted, Stay and E.T. though, particularly Haunted!

-----

Omg imagine Chloe slaying us with Gloomy Sunday on Halloween week *.*

Some suggestions from me:

Lauren - Zombie by The Cranberries (even if it was a piano version, I'd love to see her do the original though and show another side. It's not as if her voice is so weak she's confined to just slowed down songs. It would be good if she did the piano version like Mel's act from Aussie X-Factor 2011 Christina Parie - aka KYA from my BJSC hit What I Live For )
Lola - Stay by Shakespear's Sister (I know it's wheeled out most years and it's another ballad but it'd be such a moment!)

Andrea - I Put A Spell On You by Nina Simone (still slow-ish but out of his comfort zone, just not so far out it'd be a mess. It has that soulful vibe to it that he could really shine with, especially with a jazzy song you wouldn't expect. He wouldn't have to "shout" either )
Paul - Thriller by Michawl Jackson (idk what else and someone is bound to sing this)
Jake - Demons by Imagine Dragon
Jack - Bad Things by Jace Everett

Only The Young - Gives You Hell by All American Rejects (going back to the fun vibe for a safe week after they took a risk and it probably hasn't paid off)
Stereo Kicks - Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran

Fleur - Dark Horse by Katy Perry or Black Widow by Iggy Azalea
Stevi - Bat Out Of Hell by Meatloaf
Ben - Supermassive Black Hole by Muse
Jay - Mad World by Gary Jules (you just know this will happen)


I know most of those are tenuously linked to Halloween, I just used songs about black, night, bats, cats, monsters, witches etc.

Posted by: jase. 25th October 2014, 10:24 PM

I think Lola's in trouble this week

Posted by: T child 25th October 2014, 10:33 PM

That's good because she is shit.

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 10:36 PM

Posted by: Cremey_SZN 25th October 2014, 10:45 PM

Haha yeah Lola was awful tonight especially! I loved her at judges houses for some reason but in the lives she's been such a bore.

Paul was surprisingly my favourite by far tonight! Don't usually like him at all but thought he was so so good tonight. I guess the song choice helped but still 👌

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 10:47 PM

So do you all still think Boom Clap was the right song choice and the amaze song you all were gagging for :devil: #toldyouso

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 10:56 PM

It was still better than the whole "boring middle aged relatively attractive male sing boring ballad" routine tbf.

I want to marry Jay James But he must promise to never sing again.

Posted by: Calum Hood 25th October 2014, 11:07 PM

First off, Jack's VT. My favourite human. Thank you.

09.0 Ben Haenow · Surprise of the night for me. Apart from the high note which was just a tad iffy, everything else about that performance was really rather fabulous! Starting to love his voice more, hope he keeps surprising me from now on~ (helps that he's also v nice looking as well x)
08.0 Stereo Kicks · Big improvement on last week, although it's really starting to seem like they have the one lead vocalist (his name escapes me), and the rest are just support acts coming along for the ride. Doesn't help that he's so awkward to watch as well. But yes, enjoyable performance. I like when people make shit songs at the very least listenable.
00.0 Stevi Ritchie · Louis in on point comment shocker.
10.0 Jack Walton · Flawless performance once again, great song choice and a stunning version. WINNER *.*
09.5 Fleur East · Very impressed with her tonight! By far her best performance to date, the voice, the performance, she had the whole package. Now just comes the worry that she won't get votes for being overly sexual (which I don't think was really the case... she just BROUGHT IT). *claps* job well done.
06.5 Lauren Platt · The whole thing was all a bit flat for the first half really. A bit boring as well? Just glad she gave it all towards the end otherwise it would have been a travesty from start to finish.
08.0 Lola Saunders · There's something about that performance I'm not keen on? Still, she has the better and stronger voice out of herself and Lauren BY FAR, but it was obviously a bit shaky at parts tonight. Still a strong vocal towards the end though. Hoping she can keep improving.
00.0 Andrea Faustini · Overrated shit.
02.0 Paul Akister · The voice just really grates on me, like someone dragging nails down a blackboard. Otherwise it was a very microscopic improvement on last week.
00.0 Jay James · Is it Simon's honest intention to keep allowing Jay to destroy songs every week? This was awful, no passion in it at all, dull, no substance in it at all. Really hoping he does a Kye Sones and leaves earlier than expected, but I'm guessing we'll be stuck with him for a while yet. *sighs*
09.5 Only the Young · LOVE LOVE LOVE. Amazing performance of one of the best songs from one of the BEST films. Don't get some of the comments from the judges? Anyway, great performance and I really hope they go far! (Charlie remains cute as ever )
07.0 Jake Quickenden · Didn't love that as much as previous performances from him, but it was still enjoyable. Just really hoping he and Mel will decide to go for something a bit more up-tempo sometime soon though because it's going to hinder him if he sticks to ballads all the time. But yeah, still love him.

And sorry, but Lauren really is a Jacqueline Jossa clone.

Posted by: Jack 25th October 2014, 11:12 PM

Yes Calum, Charlie is adorable

Posted by: sammy01 25th October 2014, 11:23 PM

I'm not sure who will go tomorrow, I feel the producers would be happy with Jake going and he didn't help himself but the judges comments went a bit OTT, especially Simon's who could easily rally his fans to vote more.

Jack is another candidate but he seems to be generally liked, but he gave a bad performance and the revelation that he might be difficult to work with for Mel wont help.

OTY were weak as hell, but the judges comments weren't overly negative to make people feel sorry for them or rally the vote. They could be in danger but maybe their past performances will save them.

Stevi got a nicer later slot but it feels like it is wearing thin and I think going by fb likes and stuff he is only just above the safe zone the last 2 weeks, is the novelty wearing off?

I think it is between those 4, Stereo Kicks got everything in their favour tonight, Lola will probably survive from past performances being better.

Posted by: -Jay- 25th October 2014, 11:36 PM

I think you're really underestimating Only The Young, and I think "weak as hell" is harsh (even though I respect that this is your opinion). There were many worse performances than theirs tonight. I concede that their verses were shaky but everything else was fine? I could be wrong, but I hardly see Louis losing 3 acts within the first 3 weeks. Anyway, I think/hope that they'll be around for a while longer.

I'm pretty convinced that it will be one of Mel's boys who goes tomorrow. Most likely Jake, who in all fairness does deserve to go after that pretty awful performance he gave. I even found Stevi to be mildly more enjoyable than him this week!

I don't think I've seen people talk about X Factor performances in terms of "the best/worst slots" before this series. Is there any evidence based on past series that a particular slot in the running order = death knell? Unless anyone is bothered to come up with the proof, it seems to me like a bit of an excuse! If it's actually a thing, then it shouldn't have much impact this year given that you can vote before the first person has performed.

While I'm sure there is some manipulation that goes on from the producers, I'm not really buying any of the "bad treatment" that Jake/Stephanie and whoever else has supposedly had. Generally I feel like it's a level playing field, and if those 2 in particular actually sang very well then they wouldn't get bad comments from the judges. Jake has deserved the critique he has received.

Posted by: Calum Hood 25th October 2014, 11:50 PM

I am living for the Cheryl backlash I keep seeing on Twitter tbh *.* agree 100% with everyone saying that she's just being a moaning faced little cow this year, thinking she's all that.

I laughed at her comment to Fleur tonight as well... Saying she respected how she did the whole singing and dancing and rapping all at once thing, or whatever it was. Bet you wish you could do that too without miming your way through it, eh?

Posted by: troylovesmusic 25th October 2014, 11:51 PM

Fleur slaying on Xtra Factor

Posted by: Martyn 25th October 2014, 11:53 PM

Yeah it has been discussed quite a lot, however I think the other year we had voting from the start of the show rather than after everyone sang it through things off.

Posted by: Rooney 25th October 2014, 11:57 PM

Yes in the past going last was a massive advantage, because voting started at the end of the show. Now you can vote from the beginning, I don't think it matters as much. I'm sure throughout the many series, it took 9 series (I think?) before the contestant that performed last was ever in the bottom two, whereas the person who went first was more often than not in the bottom two.

Posted by: sammy01 26th October 2014, 12:00 AM

Only this year X factor and Strictly clash for 20 mins the last 2 weeks so the first 2 performers are at a huge disadvantage, as we have seen ratings wise when they clash Strictly wins.

The first week they clashed for 65 mins and during that 65 mins Strictly averaged 9.04m, X factor averaged 6.54m during the clash.

Posted by: Dobbo 26th October 2014, 12:02 AM

Yes, I vaguely remember it was an Over called Melanie or something...

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th October 2014, 12:11 AM

Just looked back, it happened in series 3 to Ashley McKenzie also. Other than that, no-one until Melanie Masson in series 9. Not happened other than these two occurrences!

Ah I remember him, he forgot the words to ABBA!

Posted by: Jonjo 26th October 2014, 01:23 AM

Only saw a couple of perfs (been at work but I saw Fleur, OTY & Lauren via the app) all 3 were at least, "good". Fleur was WOW! OTY didnt disappoint me (probably because I had a feeling the comments they received on here, were gonna be like that "good, but thought it'd be better" etc..) they were really good (bar a couple of issues) and Lauren was "good". Nothing more, nothing less. I find her really dull though! :/

Posted by: -Jay- 26th October 2014, 02:09 AM

With Twitter there's always as much love as there is hate, and I've certainly seen a lot of people on Twitter loving her / agreeing with her comments, some even "hating" that they agree with her. I actually think that she has talked quite a bit of sense this year, particularly in the lives. I'm not just saying that because she's a fave~ because there's been times over the years she's been on The X Factor when she's really infuriated me with her comments. She is as entitled to her opinions as any of the other judges though.

I thought Cheryl's comments about Fleur were fair! She deserved that critique. It is pretty rare that a contestant on The X Factor is as well-rounded as Fleur is. She has a good voice, she can rap very well, she can dance (her choreography is above and beyond what the others are doing) and overall she performs in such an effortless way, it's like she's been a pop star for many years. It's refreshing! I'm glad Cheryl recognized that and said what she said. I hope Fleur is in the competition for a long time, but I fear she'll be gone far too soon.

I find the quips about Cheryl's own abilities that some people love to make constantly quite unfair! 12 years in the game and she's still getting #1s, so she must be doing something right. She's had a career that 99% of the people who audition on X Factor could only dream of achieving themselves, so I think she has more than earned her place on the panel and is within her rights to comment on the potential of those who are up-and-coming. Her own level of talent shouldn't make all of her critiques worthless. Do you have to be a great singer to be able to judge singers? I don't think that's necessary, otherwise Louis and Simon wouldn't be there. The same goes for Mel (I know you haven't mentioned her, this is a separate comment). It's so annoying to see some people on Twitter disregard her opinions because she's supposedly a "has-been". Some people don't seem to appreciate just how huge she made it with the Spice Girls, which I find so weird. She was in a group that was about as big as you could hope to be, so she's been there and done it, so I think she is a very worthy judge. 18 years on and I don't believe Mel has ever been more relevant in a solo capacity! I don't understand why the female judges on these shows get so much stick, but the male judges don't tend to face the same level of scrutiny.

Posted by: Liаm 26th October 2014, 02:30 AM

Cheryl and Mel speak a hell of a lot more sense than Louis or Simon for sure. For example, Cheryl is the only one who doesn't wet herself ad neauseam over Jay's hideously boring performances and she was spot on about Stereo Kicks last week. I don't see how being more outspoken than she was in 2010 makes her a "moaning faced little cow" personally, when people moaned she was too nice during her first stint as a judge. If it was Kylie, Katy Perry or someone else who's more widely liked than Cheryl, nobody would bat an eyelid at what's said. People on here aren't as bad but I see a lot more hate than love for her on Twitter :/ I love both her and Mel as judges though.

As for half of twitter calling Cheryl out on her lack of talent, they need to see Mel B singing live on X Factor Australia alongside Guy Sebastian, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Ronan Keating! Absolutely embarrassing, especially in comparison to the other three who are incredible live vocalists (particularly Natalie which really surprised me). But both are (were in Mel's case I guess ) huge popstars, part of iconic girl groups, they know what they're doing and what it takes to be a star. You don't have to have the vocals of Whitney Houston to know that, god knows there are millions of people watching and commentating who can't hold a tune, are their opinions any less valid?

Of course Louis has always been just a bit bonkers but Simon is pretty bad as a judge now too I think... He doesn't seem to let Cheryl have her opinion at all, especially if it goes against his. But that's the whole point of a panel, for them to have their views, which naturally will differ. Four judges with potentially four different viewpoints gives each acts lots to take on board. If they all said exactly the same to every act, nobody would progress or get better as much as they should.

Posted by: -Jay- 26th October 2014, 02:54 AM

I think Mel is incredibly out of practice! She was a lot better live during the 90s, a very confident performer (she would sound amazing singing 'Viva Forever'/'Goodbye' etc), but her more recent performances are pretty bad. In a way Fleur reminds me a bit of Mel B during her first solo album era back in 2000/2001, in terms of image/performances!

Posted by: -Jay- 26th October 2014, 02:59 AM

My app votes went to:

2 x Fleur (My favourite of the night)
2 x Only The Young (I think they're in trouble tonight)
1 x Stevi (I want him to stay for another week at least)

People in trouble this week in my opinion:
Jake
Jack
Only The Young
Lola
2 of them will be in the bottom 2 believe me.

Posted by: Danny 26th October 2014, 02:00 PM

The hype for Jay James baffles me. He just seems so....average.

Posted by: -Jay- 26th October 2014, 02:25 PM

This was broached further on the Xtra Factor but the answer given still seems bizarre. It seems that the original idea was for Jack to rip open his shirt during the performance, but he refused to do it. I'd be a bit surprised if this alone is what annoyed Mel though?

Posted by: euro music 26th October 2014, 02:26 PM

Mel B is getting on my nerves now and the way she talks is so irritating

And can Jack really sing anything without that guitar or is it stuck to him???

I thought so - movie week always has to have a Whitney Houston song in there somewhere.

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th October 2014, 02:45 PM

Wow, he plays the guitar, how awful of him.

Posted by: -Jay- 26th October 2014, 02:59 PM

To be fair I would like to see him performing without the guitar. Or at least do something other than standing still while playing said guitar! Some people can be very charismatic while playing an instrument. Taking off the "he's fit" loon glasses (which is something I need to remove too x) he isn't a particularly captivating performer. He needs to step up or else he'll be going quite soon.

Posted by: Sean. 26th October 2014, 03:10 PM

Basically my entire opinion on him

He doesn't deserve to go too soon for me; maybe once Stevi/Jay/Stereo Kicks/Jake and POSSIBLY Only The Young have all gone?

No, Chloe Jasmine has a boyfriend. Not sure where that came from.

Posted by: Liаm 26th October 2014, 04:55 PM

As I've said, Jack needs to do something other than stand with his guitar and

I don't understand that, how come Mel is so annoyed at Jake using his body to sell himself as a contestant and yet when Jack doesn't want to use his body to sell himself as a contestant she's visibly annoyed? There must be something more. Tbf just having him rip his top off is needless really, it worked for Olly Murs (not just because I fancy him way more than Jack ) because he has that fun/cheeky vibe but that's not necessarily what Jack is about so it just seems like Mel is having one rule for Jack and another for Jake!

Posted by: HausofAquarius 26th October 2014, 05:02 PM

I don't think it's just the shirt ripping thing. I believe they wanted a full on performance from him, but he didn't want to do that (probably because he felt more comfortable just standing there with the guitar). Mel was probably annoyed that he isn't being versatile with his performing? That's what i suspect anyway..

Posted by: DonaldDuck 26th October 2014, 05:04 PM

Dissapointed with Only The Young performance last night!

Posted by: Liаm 26th October 2014, 05:05 PM

Oh that does make more sense! And I do agree with the fact he needs to be a bit more versatile.

I say as I stan Lauren... But she did just so the "proper" Demi version of Let It Go, not slowed down, yesterday

Posted by: sammy01 26th October 2014, 05:10 PM

If Jake is not in the bottom 2 I would love for them to say his name first just to see the rest collectively shit themselves.

Posted by: Liаm 26th October 2014, 05:11 PM

Even though Jake was pretty much the worst last night, I want him to go through in a way just for them to not get their own way after blatantly trying so hard to bus him

Posted by: HausofAquarius 26th October 2014, 05:17 PM

I agree about Jack! I'm one of his biggest fans but even i think he needs to shift it up a bit soon. He's shown he has a lovely voice, but it would be good for him to step out of his comfort zone and "perform" next week. The only way to set voters alight is if you can take that huge risk AND pull it off, rather than coasting along safely week-by-week. I'm confident he can pull it off too..


Ha! I know i berate you for your conspiracy theories () but i do find it odd that they've left him last every week so far. Although you'd say that's because they're throwing him under the bus... but surely it would rally up his supporters MORE and make them vote even harder the following week because they'd think he was in danger?

Posted by: sammy01 26th October 2014, 05:18 PM

That's how I feel. I have never voted for anyone before but voted for him this week just because the way he has been treated as the sacrificial lamb this week would be lol if he stayed. Can you imagine the panic by producers if he isn't in the bottom 2. This could be Rylan being in the bottom 2 first week again with the producers clearly telling Louis to save Rylan.

Stevi vs OTY would be interesting, or Stevi vs Jack, let's see how much they want to keep Stevi in.

Posted by: Calum Hood 26th October 2014, 05:21 PM

I don't think he really needs to though. Obviously on a show like this you need a bit of versatility else you're going to get slaughtered, but he clearly has adopted his own style that he seems to have found, he's stuck to it, and it's what he's good at. His voice alone makes his performances as fabulous as they are, and there definitely is a lot he can do with it. Personally, I'd rather see contestants stick to their guns and be true to what type of performer they are rather than prove that they can be (or at the very least attempt to be) a Jack-of-all-trades (unintentional pun).

Posted by: -Jay- 26th October 2014, 06:06 PM

I hope Jake goes this week, so by the time next weekend comes around, all of the conspiracy theories are old news and we can move on!

The only other act I'd settle for going over Jake is Stevi. If anyone goes bar those two this week it'll be a shame. Even Jay is more worthy of staying a bit longer.

Posted by: Calum Hood 26th October 2014, 07:00 PM

Digital Spy poll (who sang best?):

Andrea Faustini · 21.89%
Fleur East · 17.46%
Lauren Platt · 11.82%
Stereo Kicks · 11.73%
Paul Akister · 8.98%
Ben Haenow · 7.36%
Only the Young · 6.10%
Lola Saunders · 3.86%
Jack Walton · 3.18%
Jay James · 3.18%
--
Stevi Ritchie · 2.40%
Jake Quickenden · 1.46%

Personally I'd swap Jay for Jake (if that turns out to be the actual result), because part of me thinks they'd still save Stevi (although maybe not Louis now?). Just praying none of OTY, Jack or Lola end up in the bottom 2.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 26th October 2014, 08:01 PM

Jake will totally be bottom. He was DIRE.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 26th October 2014, 08:05 PM

These group performances are possibly worse than Jake and Stevi
They are awful this year

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 26th October 2014, 08:06 PM

Just murdered my favourite track of the year

Posted by: Hayzayy 26th October 2014, 08:06 PM

Lol at Andrea butchering the first lines of Rather Be.

Posted by: Martyn 26th October 2014, 08:07 PM

Andrea was awful opening that song. This shows Jake should be doing up beat songs most of the time.

I am sad we didn't get a Spice Girls medley for movie week.

Posted by: ►▲N 26th October 2014, 08:07 PM

the group performance isn't actually bad for once and yay for them doing Rather Be! Another week top 40 for that plz

Posted by: مدهش* 26th October 2014, 08:07 PM

please never let that be sung on here ever again

Posted by: HausofAquarius 26th October 2014, 08:07 PM

Oh lordy at this.

STEVI sounding better than half of them.

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

Not crap group perf shocker

Posted by: Calum Hood 26th October 2014, 08:08 PM

that was actually very very good. proving that Jake, Lauren and Jack would all be better off doing up-tempos.

Posted by: Jack 26th October 2014, 08:08 PM

Only The Young sounded great on that!

Posted by: Hayzayy 26th October 2014, 08:09 PM

Stevi gets a lot of abuse for having a weird face and doing weird dance moves, but he's actually a good vocalist. Far better than Jake for example.

Posted by: ROBOT 26th October 2014, 08:09 PM

Really?! I thought they just about ALL sounded terrible...

Posted by: Martyn 26th October 2014, 08:10 PM

I am gonna go left field and predict a Lola and Jay bottom 2.

Posted by: Liаm 26th October 2014, 08:11 PM

My mum honestly just said "what the f*** is that" when Jay's recap came on

Posted by: Jason 26th October 2014, 08:11 PM

I want Jake and Jay (or Lola) in the bottom 2 tonight.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 26th October 2014, 08:11 PM

I'll predict a Jake and Jack bottom two
I want Jake (going out) and only the young (based on that performance) for bottom 2 (or Ben)

Fleur, Lauren and Lola were all so superb yesterday

Posted by: Calum Hood 26th October 2014, 08:13 PM

leave.

Posted by: Liаm 26th October 2014, 08:13 PM

Jay NEEDS to be bottom 2. Honestly he must be THE worst they've ever had... Seriously. I know Jedward, Wagner etc. were worse but jesus the overhype is just too much, his vocal is painful.

Maybe "my least favourite" rather than worst though

Posted by: sammy01 26th October 2014, 08:14 PM

Lola was so bad in that group performance, like so bad.

Posted by: Sean. 26th October 2014, 08:15 PM

If Lola were to exit on that I'd be so annoyed

Posted by: مدهش* 26th October 2014, 08:16 PM

Me too. Really don't get the comments about it being good AT ALL.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 26th October 2014, 08:16 PM

Jay needs to be bottom, but he won't because he was a soldier and his wife had trouble keeping her clothes on which makes him SUPER UNFORTUNATE. Obv.

Posted by: Jason 26th October 2014, 08:16 PM

I love this new OneRepublic song.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 26th October 2014, 08:16 PM

Maybe it's just SHOCK

Posted by: n4yr 26th October 2014, 08:17 PM

This OneRepublic song sounds like every other OneRepublic song.

Posted by: ►▲N 26th October 2014, 08:17 PM

I predict Jake and OTY to go bottom 2, with Jake leaving. Let's be honest it doesn't matter who else in the bottom 2 if Jake is there though. Even Stevi would go through over Jake

Posted by: sammy01 26th October 2014, 08:18 PM

Ryan has a great voice and when One Republic release a good song then I'm on board, but they can be a tad dull.

Plus he looks a mess tonight.

Posted by: Hayzayy 26th October 2014, 08:18 PM

No one was here for an unknown OneRepublic song.

Posted by: HausofAquarius 26th October 2014, 08:19 PM

SO nervous for Only The Young and Jack.

I would literally break down if they made up the bottom two but any combination of them plus another would be heartbreaking. Jake and Stevi PLEASE.

Posted by: Calum Hood 26th October 2014, 08:19 PM

Jay leaving tonight really would be fabulous.

Posted by: ►▲N 26th October 2014, 08:20 PM

that OneRepublic song was super dull and forgettable just like I expected. And with Ed Sheeran yet to come it's not going to get any better performance wise, yawn

Posted by: Hayzayy 26th October 2014, 08:21 PM

Jay is a tad annoying but I do like him performance wise.

Posted by: Danny 26th October 2014, 08:21 PM

Ardently hoping for a Jay and Lauren bottom 2.

Posted by: AdamAloud 26th October 2014, 08:21 PM

So long as Fleur/Only The Young/Lauren/Jack are safe I'll be happy, the rest I can all gladly leave to be honest.

My best case scenario would be a Jay/Jake bottom 2. Jake going and knock Jay down a peg or two.

Posted by: Calum Hood 26th October 2014, 08:22 PM

cheryl would quite literally shit herself if that happened.

Posted by: Liаm 26th October 2014, 08:24 PM

If Jay is bottom 2 it has to be with a no hoper like Jake or Stevi. If Lola was bottom 2 with him and pushed her out, it'd be awful. I'd rather he wasn't bottom 2 at all in that case I know she wasn't great last night and she's a bit boring but I don't want her to go yet.

Posted by: Timmy SZN 26th October 2014, 08:24 PM

Erm wot?

Posted by: Danny 26th October 2014, 08:24 PM

OK, starting to believe the conspiracy theories about Jake being stitched up by the producers now after those comments...

Posted by: J▼hnkm 26th October 2014, 08:25 PM

MUTE MUTE MUTE MUTE MUTE

Posted by: Jack 26th October 2014, 08:25 PM

I really think it will be someone fairly popular vs Stevi and Stevi will stay . I can just see it. I bet it will be Only The Young or Jack as well.

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

He has all the charisma of a mushroom

Posted by: gooddelta 26th October 2014, 08:26 PM

The crowd need to shut the hell up!

Posted by: Liаm 26th October 2014, 08:26 PM

In fairness Stevi sounded quite god in the group performance and I'd rather listen to/watch him than Jake, Ben or Jay, genuinely! I don't actually think he's funny or entertaining or anything, but at least him/the judges acknowledge he's a joke which I prefer to overhyped acts like Jay or Ben if that makes sense?

Posted by: HausofAquarius 26th October 2014, 08:26 PM

Don't even JOKE about that Jack :///

Posted by: sammy01 26th October 2014, 08:27 PM

Did anyone feel like Simon mentioning Lola was because he might know she is bottom 2 and going to be saved and he is getting the excuse in early as to why she is there/going to be saved?

Posted by: Jack 26th October 2014, 08:27 PM

It is usually around now we are due a shock though isnt it?!

I wouldnt mind if it was Lola or Andrea though .

Posted by: AdamAloud 26th October 2014, 08:27 PM

Ed taking some tips from the Common Linnets for his performance!

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 26th October 2014, 08:28 PM

This is so beautiful
I have fallen so much in love with thinking out loud in the last couple of weeks

Posted by: Parallel Reality 26th October 2014, 08:28 PM

I wish this camera would stop going around in circles, it's making me feel a little ill. And why are there loads of random children holding torches?

Posted by: Liаm 26th October 2014, 08:28 PM

Nail meet head Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Posted by: Calum Hood 26th October 2014, 08:28 PM

this is painful to watch but nice to listen to.

Posted by: gooddelta 26th October 2014, 08:28 PM

Adore this song. His best since Lego House for sure.

Posted by: HausofAquarius 26th October 2014, 08:28 PM

Ed Sheeran doing a medley of all of his songs

(i do like this)

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 26th October 2014, 08:28 PM

Anyone wants a torch

Posted by: n4yr 26th October 2014, 08:29 PM

The camera operator is making me dizzy.

Posted by: Jester 26th October 2014, 08:30 PM

That should get him to number 1 then. It be fair, his best since Lego House.

Posted by: مدهش* 26th October 2014, 08:30 PM

Posted by: sammy01 26th October 2014, 08:31 PM

Ed is class whether you like the music or not.

Posted by: April 26th October 2014, 08:32 PM

That was a good performance, and it's such a chill song!

Posted by: J▼hnkm 26th October 2014, 08:33 PM

I have no idea what he is singing, but a CHOIR and LIGHTS is not a winning combo chezkm. Flush.

Posted by: Martyn 26th October 2014, 08:34 PM

Nah week 5 is the traditional "shock" week. RIP Maria, Lucie and Laura among others

Posted by: Jack 26th October 2014, 08:34 PM

Nah, he is a smug arrogant twat who does catered to radio music.

Posted by: -Jay- 26th October 2014, 08:39 PM

Lola! Thought she'd be in danger.

Posted by: Martyn 26th October 2014, 08:39 PM

Lola must have been 3rd bottom.

Posted by: Martyn 26th October 2014, 08:40 PM

Stevie V Jake?

YESSSSSSSSSSSS JACK G'WON BAE <3

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 26th October 2014, 08:41 PM

I'm really happy with that bottom 2
Glad jack is safe- I have started to really like him

Jake surely going

Posted by: sammy01 26th October 2014, 08:41 PM

Well Jake is a gonner then.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 26th October 2014, 08:41 PM

Jake is gone, the other judges will choose Jake to go

Posted by: Timmy SZN 26th October 2014, 08:41 PM

For f***s sake Stevi?!

Posted by: HausofAquarius 26th October 2014, 08:41 PM

(can't even be too happy at Jack making it because OTY)

Posted by: April 26th October 2014, 08:41 PM

Can't believe Only The Young are in the bottom two - they were the best of the night! If Jake doesn't go now...

Posted by: Martyn 26th October 2014, 08:42 PM

I didn't think they would save Jake till last again. I can see Only The Young going out

Posted by: -Jay- 26th October 2014, 08:42 PM

Jake has to go, it's a no brainer.

Posted by: Hayzayy 26th October 2014, 08:42 PM

JAKE TO GO PLEEEEASE

Posted by: Parallel Reality 26th October 2014, 08:42 PM

Yikes for Only The Young!! I want to seem them do more different stuff... Like a Haim cover or something!

Posted by: J▼hnkm 26th October 2014, 08:42 PM

Bye Jake. You deserved to go last week.

Posted by: Calum Hood 26th October 2014, 08:43 PM

LOVE Jake so much, but surely Only the Young have to be safe here? Such a shame too as they've had it in for Jake since the beginning. :/

Posted by: sammy01 26th October 2014, 08:43 PM

That advert was so odd?

Posted by: Maurice Horan 26th October 2014, 08:43 PM

Jake will be gone.

Posted by: Martyn 26th October 2014, 08:43 PM

I really hope Jake gets saved, but I can't see them having two judges with 4 acts and 1 judge only having one act.

Looks like we won't get a group winner this year then.

Posted by: Jack 26th October 2014, 08:43 PM

I will kill a bitch if Jake goes through over Only The Young.
