Theme next week, Whitney Houston & Elton John, 2 tracks per act.
Music Guests: Take That, Labrinth, David Guetta feat. Emeli Sande
The ratings are declining... Surely the producers are hearing all the complaints about the old fashioned themes?
Pfft they did Elton John last year!
Normally they only do 2 songs each when there's 5 acts left so big change this year.
BUT I really want to see Only The Young sing Something About The Way You Look Tonight as they did in their audition, they've still got nowhere near that so far since.
kool theme.
Oh good God. Only Andrea can even remotely attempt Whitney. Fleur will be ok with Million Dollar Bill or My Love Is Your Love or something like that too. I dread to imagine Ben growling through a Whitney ballad though :/ Lauren, whilst I love her, doesn't have the pipes either.
LordT another horrific theme...
Fleur doing It's Not Right But It's Okay would probably be great! I could see her doing Million Dollar Bill well too.
Are tou sure it is two songs? where is the confirmation?
Fleur doing Million Dollar Bill NEEDS to happen
Suggestions (Whitney / Elton)
Lauren - How Will I Know (the proper upbeat version) or All The Man That I Need / Your Song
Andrea - I Will Always Love You (let's be honest, it's not going to be anything than this or I Have Nothing) / Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Only The Young - So Emotional / I'm Still Standing
Stereo Kicks - I Wanna Dance With Somebody / Circle Of Life
Fleur - any one of Queen Of The Night, I'm Every Woman, My Love Is Your Love or It's Not Right But It's Okay / Candle In The Wind (I'd love her to sing a proper ballad and this isn't TOO vocally challenging)
Ben - I have no idea / I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
Stevi - again, no idea / Saturday Night's Alright
There are ao many options for Fleur and I think Andrea could carry most Whitney songs, Lauren is potentially ok with a few but the others I'm very unsure...
Only The Young to do a Fleur and re-do an earlier performance please!
I'm getting so bored of the same themes all the time. I really wish the producers would be more creative with their choices.
God we need a modern theme, the more I think about a Rihanna theme the more I think it could be amazing!
Andrea - Stay
Lauren - Diamonds
Fluer - What's my name? and or Rude boy
SK - Umbrella or Don't stop the music
Ben - Russian roulette or Rockstar 101
OTY - S.O.S and or Who's that chick
Stevi - S & M (just a total bat shit crazy production of PVC and whips get the old people squirting ink to points of view lol)
Group song - We found love
Fleur would be AMAZING at Million Dollar Bill, make it happen please Simon!
I don't think it's two songs this week btw, I'm sure Simon said on Saturday that it was a couple of weeks til they do two songs? Could be wrong there but it's normally week 8 anyway!
For Elton Only The Young will probably do Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
I can see Fleur doing 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody', bit of an Alexandra moment.
I need someone to do the musical version of Circle Of Life *.*
I bet Only The Young could pull that off
Tbh I can't see why they'd be doing two each. It'd be good to see double Fleur and double Lauren but thinking about it, as if they'd risk Ben for example singing Whitney
Thought I'd post this seen as there seems to be a few OTY fans on here, them practicing Viva Forever at judges houses.
I'd nail and destroy the cute looking dark haired guy that's about it with them, but just thought the ones on here that seem to really like them would appreciate it.
Edit - I came across it because I'm a Spice fan, as well I'm 25 and gay lol
They should do britney x madonna theme tbh
Fleur to do Whatchulookinat
Stevi to sing The Greatest Love of All please!
I'm guessing Only The Young will do 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' and 'Circle Of Life'.
I'm here for the blond-haired guy, you can all keep the dark-haired guy - he's under 18 anyway! Didn't think you were into barely legal twinks, Sammy. x
(Probably should remember their names by now, lol)
This will be the 3rd week i'm not watching. Same old rubbish - I don't mind some of Elton but there's only one WH song I like and that's One Moment In Time.
Even with EJs vast catalogue they'll probably do the same few songs as last year which I don't think are his best apart from Your Song.
To be honest, I think OTY should do 'Something About The Way You Look Tonight', their audition song, bring back some of that acoustic magic that we love from them!
FYI Mikey is mine, i have been a fan of theirs for going onto a year now!
Added the music guests in the opening post, actually I don't even remember starting this topic
They have Emeli Sandé/David Guetta on too, presumably performing their collab from David's latest album
It's definitely only one song each this week by the way I think. The ITV voiceover earlier said something like "will the contestants choose Elton or Whitney" implying that they are only doing one of them, and also there is only one set of iTunes pre-orders up - not two.
Also, the man who shouts 'Only The Young' during the results is all over the internet - hopefully this will get them some extra hype and support! Radio 1 did a funny video about it, check out their Facebook!
Let's not forget there *has* to be adverts after each act has performed.
I don't understand why ads are made out to be such an issue in XF, they're annoying but aren't any more frequent than for any other show
Ahead of tonight's show, TellyMix poll (who is your favourite going into week 7?):
Stereo Kicks - 17.99% (1,613 votes)
Ben Haenow - 16.89% (1,514 votes)
Fleur East - 16.03% (1,437 votes)
Lauren Platt - 15.5% (1,389 votes)
Andrea Faustini - 15.43% (1,383 votes)
Only the Young - 13.59% (1,218 votes)
Stevi Ritchie - 4.57% (410 votes)
Really scared for Only The Young. With it being a double my faith in them surviving is severely shaken
I can definitely see it being Stevi gone tonight, but I foresee an OTY/Andrea or OTY/Lauren bottom 2 tomorrow. With Lauren, they could probably survive, but I can't see Andrea going at this stage (unfortunately).
So Fleur is supposed to be performing with her family on stage with her tonight, this is taking pimping and pushing someone to ridiculous levels. #vomit
http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2014-11-22/fleur-easts-family-to-join-her-on-stage-for-tonights-x-factor-performance
Don't you ever shut up?
^ toby was saying just what i was thinking tbh. all you bring is consistent negativity to this thread. why engage and share so much, something you have no liking for? it really is most odd and becoming increasingly tiring...
oh gosh, Fleur is my favourite but could they make it any more obvious that the producers desperately want her to do well? I just hope she doesn't get backlash for being the producers' favourite as I really want her to win
95% of the threads about the x factor have been negative so far, I don't care that people moan about Stevi or every thread till this week everyone basically has bashed Jay to death.
You just don't like that I happen to be negative about OTY or Fleur who are the only 2 people seem to like on here.
In the context Fleur's song choice, I think it makes sense for her to have women from her life on stage. Plus who's actually going to care that she has her family on? Nobody will be like "oh look, Fleur's mum is on stage so we must vote for her, even though I normally wouldn't!"
Tbh I think it'll be nice for Fleur to have some family members on stage. As long as they don't make the entire VT before the performance about her family or her family hog the mic when dermot goes over to talk to her (they better just walk off the stage and not hang around). I'm just worried that Fleur's vocals will be very exposed in the performance.
Home from work so now time to relax in front of the TV Only the Young to survive the flash vote PLEASE, my main reason for watching!
Who will go? Stevi and ?
I reckon Stevi will go tonight, tomorrow could be one of the groups.
Lauren is a gonner on first and Strictly still on till 8.15.
Lauren is always on fairly early :/ ffs.
Wow! They gave her a bad slot then. They really want to get rid off her. I'm pleased to be honest
would be fabulous if we got rid of her tonight.
Stevi and OTY are in danger I think.
A little bit to Glee for me 5/10
Lauren proving why she always does ballads awful
Excellent performance from Lauren there, her best to date imo!
09.0 Lauren Platt
Did she REALLY dance Louis?
I found that pretty boring actually...
I kind of feel a bit for Lauren, that wasn't really dancing, vocals were not that great and the it was very distracting.
great performance! her dancing isn't brilliant but wow she can sing, love the tone of her voice 8.5/10
8.5/10 Lauren Platt - How Will I Know?
Lauren Platt - Really enjoyed that, vocally much better than she has been the past few weeks. Was good to see her have fun too. - 8.0/10.0
Lauren Platt - 8.0
I'm so glad she changed it up! Really refreshing to see some movement. Great vocally at the start but then faltering vocals in places afterwards. (her bro also reminds me of Noah Cyrus)
Lauren Platt - 8/10
Fab, nice to see her do something different. I think it's her best since Dark Horse for sure! I'm still worried she's in danger though, all 10 votes across both my devices for her
01 Lauren Platt - How Will I Know 9.5/10
Her brother was better at dancing, not Lauren's best performance.
Ok I'm turning into Sammy01, but funny how they put Ben on just as Strictly finishes
so it's not just Fleur who's getting family member(s) out on stage then.
not sure if Ben will be able to do IWALY justice
it was incredibly dull I thought?
tepid karaoke
Lauren was average. Not that exciting, probably only liked that a bit because of how much I love the song.
04.0 Lauren Platt
What the hell was this? 01/10
God I really hate this track by Whitney, Ben's voice sounds a bit of a roar.
Please one of the judges slate this shouty mess that Ben just subjected us to.
6.0 Lauren
3.0 Ben
That was painful, come OFF IT with the standing ovation... seriously?
WTF WAS THAT
some really painful notes here, have a feeling he's gonna James Arthur his way to victory. Wouldn't be behind that if he keeps doing performances like this. 6.5/10
8.5/10 Lauren Platt - How Will I Know?
6.5/10 Ben Haenow - I Will Always Love You
Really enjoyed Ben's performance, better than what I thought it'd sound like. 7/10 Didn't really like Lauren's performance, bit bland for me. 5/10
Ben 7/10
Lauren 5/10
I really didn't like that at all
MEL B IS THE REALEST.
That just...didn't work. As expected. Totally wrong song choice.
09.0 Lauren Platt
05.0 Ben Haenow
It was subtly beautiful to start off with but then didn't go anywhere... for me that song always needs to be killer on the final chorus, but it fell flat for me.
Lauren Platt - 8/10
Ben Haenow - 6/10
obviously nothing on Whitney at all, but that was a rather great version.
04.0 Lauren Platt
09.0 Ben Haenow
Jesus Christ that was AWFUL. Worst version of that song I have ever heard :/ If Fleur or Lauren sang it that badly, they'd be slaughtered and pretty much certs to go. I can't. He is going to walk this if he's fine after this performance.
01 Lauren Platt - How Will I Know 9.5/10
02 Ben Haenow - I Will Always Love You 1/10
Really don't get this obsession with trying to make songs different & edgy.
Ben Haenow - Completely agree with Mel B for once, not enough light and shade in the song. He sounded great in the verses but the chorus was weak for me. Shame as Ben has so much more to give than that. - 7.0/10.0
Lauren Platt - 8.0
Ben Haenow - 7.0

Loved this 9/10
well that was INCREDIBLE. my favourite performance of theirs to date, definitely.

09.0 Only the Young
09.0 Lauren Platt
05.0 Ben Haenow
Not their best for me... It doesn't work for me when put together fully like this, it was better how it was arranged at their audition imo. It was good enough, but they can do a lot better and they needed a lot better. The thing I do love is the fun they being - the show definitely needs that
01 Lauren Platt - How Will I Know 9.5/10
02 Only The Young - Something About The Way You Look Tonight 7/10
03 Ben Haenow - I Will Always Love You 1/10
That's their best performance, hopefully the other group will go.
Betsy makes me weak.
I think I preferred their room audition version, this just seemed to bob along and although it was slick and well rehearsed. We need something where they actually sing something slower and try to show off some proper vocals.
Simon's praise not the most help is it basically saying they would have been in danger before that performance.
Only The Young - As always for me some really dodgy vocals, I just don't think they are strong enough singers, especially the girls. Overall good for what they do I suppose but I think it's time for them to go now. - 6.0/10.0
Lauren Platt - 8.0
Ben Haenow - 7.0
Only The Young - 6.0
it's okay and fun but they don't work as pop stars, vocals aren't good enough. wouldn't mind them leaving really.
8.5/10 Lauren Platt - How Will I Know?
7.0/10 Only The Young - Something About the Way You Look Tonight
6.5/10 Ben Haenow - I Will Always Love You
Disappointed because it had the audition to live up to, hated the production and everything, but love them and they sounded brilliant.
Lauren Platt - 8/10
Ben Haenow - 6/10
Only the Young - 7/10
ALEXANDRA RELEVANCE.
Tim where you at?
lol get dat promo burke
A. Burke
TIM DEAD.
omg Burke
Love how they didn't remind us she won the X Factor
Suppose Alexandra has a load of free time whilst waiting to return to smash the charts... lol.
That was average at best.
Wasn't his best
7/10
They're definitely my favourites now, took a while for me to get it but now I get it, I COMPLETELY get it and love it... some of Parisa's vocals were a bit flat, I felt, but altogether, great, fun performance.
As for Andrea, that could've been better than it was BUT I really like that he didn't oversing it. If it had've been bigger, I think he'd have been criticised for doing a typical belty Andrea performance - but it was great restrained and then great when he got into his stride.
9.0 Only The Young
9.0 Andrea
6.0 Lauren
3.0 Ben
Didn't really like Andrea's performance. He had quite a few off moments vocally. The song is just too big for him. He should have done an Elton song imo. 6.5/10
Ben 7/10
Andrea 6.5/10
OTY 6/10
Lauren 5/10
Off to re-watch Leona's version of "I Have Nothing" for the millionth time.
Quite lacklustre from him sadly, the song swallowed him up.

well this isn't anything we haven't heard before from Andrea, how predictable of him to do a Whitney ballad.

7.0/10 Andrea Faustini - I Have Nothing
7.0/10 Only The Young - Something About the Way You Look Tonight

All of his performances are awful, but that tops them all...
04.0 Lauren Platt
09.0 Ben Haenow
10.0 Only the Young
01.0 Andrea Faustini
That felt a bit flat to me? Not flat as in vocally, flat as in he didn't seem all there and he could've given a lot more. Given he's performed songs like Summertime and And I Am Telling You, he should've had no trouble with that... He didn't falter vocally, but idk it just wasn't all there for me. He can do way better, but luckily he'll be fine given his stance in the competition. It was very much like his last Whitney performance of One Moment In Time, he got lost in the song sadly.
01 Lauren Platt - How Will I Know 9.5/10
02 Only The Young - Something About The Way. You Look Tonight 7/10
03 Andrea Faustini - I Have Nothing 6.5/10
04 Ben Haenow - I Will Always You Love 1/10
Very cringe worthy, so painful to listen to.
Fleur next
Andrea Faustini - Wasn't perfect for me, way too many growls early on when he should have saved for later on the song. Most of the vocals were fantastic as usual though. - 8.5/10.0
Andrea Faustini - 8.5

Run of the mill Andrea, didn't do anything for me. He's yet to re-capture the excellence of 'Earth Song' for me.

Ben Haenow - 6/10
Only the Young - 7/10

Andrea did a decent job and hit the money note at the end. You get a feeling Simon is slowly trying to chip away at him though.
Camp as an army barracks.
she's so overrated.
AAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAZIIIIIIIIIIIING!
11/10
It started off well for Fleur but she just cant hit those big notes and her searching for them is painful.
One of my least favourite Fleur performances. The vocals were decent, but when she went for the high notes they sounded quite bad and they left out the really big part of the song which makes it imo. 6/10
Ben 7/10
Andrea 6.5/10
Fleur 6/10
OTY 6/10
Lauren 5/10
I think Fleur is going to be in trouble this week.
Not as good as last week and the backing track was soooo karaoke but she was EXCELLENT. Slay Fleur

Missed lauren and Ben. Anyway gave all 5 votes to Lauren incase she is in danger

Embarrassing, but still better than Ben He'll be gone though, I doubt he'll escape the bottom 3 as it's not as if Lauren or Fleur messed up enough to crash out and there's no way Ben or Andrea will.

Stevi
Just needs to go now, the joke is over
Baby Kick. Oh dear.
Stereo Kicks stealing the Spice Girls' idea of nicknames I hope Mel B shades them for this.
i'll take that for entertainment on a saturday night show over a dry and dusty lauren performance
How long is this bloody VT!
I'll take Naughty Kick x
They can all just be 'Kick Them Out', couldn't give a shit which one they all are and nobody else will within 30 seconds of them leaving, whenever that may be.
This sounds flat as a pancake, nothing like the original, worst performance of the night along with Stevi.
Yawn 4/10
James the best one from Stereo Kicks voice is very very similar to Elton John's like oddly similar.
This is surprisingly good, well most of it anyway. Reese is a bit shit.
awful. can they be stereo kicked out the competition this week?

for them that was v good, difficult to sense who will leave tonight. im gonna go with either lauren or oty...
i must say some of the opinions here are very tiresome. people have clearly made their minds up regarding the acts and would make the same comments irrespective of what they sing or how good or bad they actually are. zzz.
That was a bit better than they've been for the past couple of weeks, but it was still boring. It's like one of those charity singles where they sing a little bit each but it's never enough of the song... The guy on the end with the red jacket and anteater face as Dermot talked to them is like the Rita Ora (in Band Aid) too, he's always way louder and shoutier than the others.

Andrea Faustini - 5.5/10
Ben Haenow - 2/10
Stevi Ritchie - 1.5/10
Tonight was a very karaoke-tastic episode. Overall the standard was quite low compared to the last couple of weeks.
I think it's going to be between Stevi Lauren and Only The Young this week.
I was gonna ost FB likes, but they haven't put SK up yet so it's pointless. Lauren has just over 9.6k (*.*) and Ben is 2nd with almost 4k but I think that's just because they were first on so had a lot longer.
I have to say that was very good from Stereo Kicks, I kinda enjoyed it! Think they finally know their strengths and weaknesses.
That said I hope they go this weekend.
I think Stevi will probably have been safe tonight because of that ridiculous perf, so one of the groups will leave. Probably OTY.
I have a feeling that Fleur might be in trouble.
Emile Sand not looking a DAY under 40
I think anyone could go bar Fleur and Ben. Andrea is the other who should be in with them but they have been slowly dragging him down week by week.
Just hoping it is Stevi, never got him before tonight but tonight was utterly stupid.
Is she really 27?
*David Guetta hits play button and jumps around*...
Although David is my favourite DJ
PERFECTION *.*
What did she do for love?
Not a fan of the David Guetta/Emeli Sandé track.
David is a bit drunk.
Still pretty sure that Stevi's gonna go personally.
I actually really love this David/Emeli track. Although David's presence felt a bit odd on a TV performance imo.
Great performance, love the track.
Think Stevi's a goner.
first time hearing the David/Emeli song and it's great! David being there was a bit pointless though considering he didn't do any DJing (obviously he couldn't in a 3 minute performance)
Here we go. Imagine if Stevi is called out first.
YASS Ben *.*
OMG FLEUR NOT FIRST THROUGH, SHE GOIN HOME LAWLLL!!!111
COME ON FLEUR
EW.
Stevi to go then.
Simon loves it when SK were called safe, his eyes lit up!
NOOOOOO
what the actual f***?!
This forum is about to collapse now.
I don't like OTY but Stevi should be gone.
Well, not too fussed about them leaving.
Oh well, not really a shock (and I did expect this to happen before tonight anyway), Stevi/Stereo bottom 2 tomorrow is likely too I reckon
Bit of a shock, I did think that was their best performance to date, but I suspected they would have went tomorrow, Stevi will go tomorrow.
Dang, no more Besty.
Damn everyone else voting with their 'talent' spotting
This is an absolute shame!
OTY were ropey week in, week out. They brought the energy but not much else.
Stevi has lasted in the competition longer than Only The Young?? And they didn't even get a sing off! I really hope Shitvi goes tomorrow!
Lauren/Stevi bottom 2 I think tomorrow then... Possibly Andrea?
Sad for OTY though they weren't world class or anything but they were fun and would have had a good chance at being successful afterwards.
giving up now.
STEVI to win.
I thought OTY would go. If Stevi goes tomorrow then my prediction is right (for who would go out, not for the order they go out in)
Fleur to win.
I'm not surprised they left, they didn't seem that popular with the general public. Stevi should go tomorrow, otherwise it's a joke.
Oh PLEASE. As if Stevi stayed over them, I'm gutted they didn't even get a sing off performance
Not a shock tbh I had a feeling it would be them.
NO Stevi should stay
There's no massive talent this year, I think he might defy the odds and survive until next week.
I really hope Stevi goes out tomorrow.
Labrinth and Gary Barlow...
FB likes so far:
10,617 Lauren
4,313 Ben
2,535 Stereo Kicks
2,098 Andrea
1,867 Fleur
1,843 Stevi
Hopefully Fleur is bottom 2 with Stevi so he will definitely go.
Bottom two tomorrow predictions:
Stereo Kicks vs Lauren
Fleur won't be anywhere NEAR the bottom 2 imo - I'm quite certain it'll be Stereo Kicks and Stevi. Perhaps Lauren as she was against Strictly but even so I think she'll be fine.
Bottom 2 tomorrow Stereo Kicks & Stevi, hopefully Stevi will go, and the week after Stereo Kicks.
Tbh OTY haven't amazed me the past two weeks but they were at least more enjoyable and fun than all of the others. Kind of annoyed SK are still there because I alway knew they'd somehow be the last group remaining but Stevi :/ he was decent in last weeks singoff but no baby no at tonight. He should've gone.
Ben to win for me now.
Who will Haus perve over now?
Sad night in the X factor history. Bye Only the Young
itunes:

Stevi not top 1000
Pretty close! This is higher than Andrea has been for about a month afaik. Fleur so low though
The dark haired one from OTY looks a little devastated on X factor, I'd console him #oh
Facebook likes now:
16,817 Lauren
11,921 Stereo Kicks (across the "guide" to their names and performance pics)
9,077 Fleur (across two, she only has 2.7k on one but the other is of her, her sister and mum)
6,112 Ben
3,838 Stevi
3,159 Andrea
Only The Young have more than Andrea oops. Only by like 100 but still! Lauren and Fleur seem to have a lot more positive comments than usual too which is a good sign.
I think X factor have caught on the FB likes have been far too accurate in predicting things thus far and have deliberately messed things up last night.
They took forever to upload certain ones after Lauren, leaving gaps of like 30 mins, which will negatively impact on the ones waiting to be uploaded as I'd expect the most likes are given to them in the 10-15 mins after the performance. So for instance Andrea's was uploaded after people performing after him had been on TV and sang.
Tbh I'm surprised it took them this long to do something about the FB likes being a huge indicator of things.
Just caught up. Very mixed bag. Only The Young were weak compared to their usual standards so i can understand why they were bottom (a shame it was an automatic elimination, as they may have survived if it was was a normal bottom two )
Stereo Kicks and Fleur were my favourites of the night. Fleur was a budget Alexandra Burke act but even budget Burke is AMAZING so i still loved it. Stereo Kicks were very 90's R&B boyband and they pulled it off wonderfully.
I'm still shocked that Only The Young went last night. So, I decided to use all five of my app votes on Stevi.
Cheryl modelling Nicole's hair from last week, dressed as if she is going to Saturday Night Fever
I quite like ths group performance!
Mel looks incredible tonight
This is so f***ing boring
God Labrinth is making the contestants look fun, which says everything.
Indeed. YAWWWWWWWN.
This is horrific
My god... that was boring as f***
This is so boring, I can't begin to imagine why people would just buy the audio with not even visuals of rain to keep them entertained...
Wasn't a fan of Labrinth's performance.
That was like something a contestant who comes like 11th sings in the sing-off, yawn.
I the only one who likes the Labrinth song then? Though I guess it could get boring in a few months like All of Me did, it does sound good right now
Jukebox next week, public gets to choose what songs acts will sing.
This show is lacking in any excitement
I wish they would go back to revealing this in one go rather than splitting it. The second performance kinda ruins the tension they build.
omg ICONIC ONLY THE YOUNG GUY still there even in their absence *.*
did I just hear Only The Young shouting man?
Stereo Kicks through though
Wow, those were 2 I had legged for bottom
Fleur
ONLY THE YOUNG man
My two faves announced first YAY!!
Lauren must be in danger now
Yessssss Fleur was so worried for her !
STEVI to go through please!
Oh Dermot you absolute TIT
Would love Stevi to go through and have Andrea vs Lauren.
Can Stevi please go through so we are at least guaranteed getting rid of one of those two.
If Stevi goes through I will laugh so much. It would be an amazing slap in the smug face of Lauren.
I actually think it's gonna be Andrea and Lauren just watch,
The suspense bit is not funny anymore
Hahaha I really think it will be Stevi that's announced.
What this means is that I expect Stereo Kicks to be bottom two next week.
Lovin' the results so far. The best 3 acts got through.
If Stevi does get called he will have gone from 7th to at least 4th in the vote, that would be a huge bounce. I have read so many f*** it vote for stevi posts on twitter and FB though it wouldn't surprise me.
Take That dad dancing
Barlow dancing is worse than anything he INFLICTED upon us as a judge
The dancing. Also, didn't realise Jason Orange left! Feels so weird just seeing 3 of them.
Oh gosh, bring back Labrinth's performance...
Ugh, this doesn't work at all as a 3 piece band. Awful, and they look stupid with their dancing.
Drunk uncle dancing alert :S
so camp i'm actually enjoying this though
What on earth are these Saturdays-esque half assed 'dance' moves from Take That #embarrassing
the staging for this is LOVELY
and the song isn't bad, hearing some blog-pop elements there~
well i love the staging.
Am I the only one who thinks Gary Barlow's singing voice is the same as his speaking voice?
I am finding this performance so awkward
Quite like the song and love the staging. So a pretty good performance overall!
that's easily the best performance they've had this series
from take that as well, who would have thought
Time to retire grandpas! And surely Garlow has made enough money from his foreign secret bank accounts and don't need to do the clown on the television to live happily? GET OFF.
i really enjoyed that, it's engagingly awkward and the video is exactly the same. im really enjoying the song at the moment, would love for it to reach #1
Take That actually very good and totally sold me on the song for the first time too
I think my favourite performance is John Legend's Ordinary People/All of Me performance.
If Stevi goes through blame my mum for using all her free app votes on him. Just hoping he's bottom 2 as surely he's gone this week if so. Can't have Lauren going before him anyway
I didn't mind that performance from Take That, I quite like the track, I do those dance moves
Stevi finally gone I guess!
Lauren should be there, not Andrea
Well Stevi has to go now and it isn't too bad for Andrea as he should get a bounce next week.
Bye bye Stevi
Take That were really good, can totally see why so many people rush to see them live.
Andrea in the bottom 2 though oops. He won't be the favourite to win after tonight anyway but yeah there's no way he's leaving.
Stevi is going, unless Cheryl takes it to deadlock
I really couldn't care less who goes between Stevi and Andrea, I find both quite novelty in their own way.
YAAAASS LAUREN
This is the most pointless sing off ever though, Stevi would go against anyone, let alone Andrea!
STOP THE CONSTIPATED FACIAL EXPRESSIONS PLEASE.
(my ideal bottom 2 yay!)
can cheryl please take it to deadlock.
Mel knew he was bottom 2 tonight, you could tell with her attitude and her sort of arguing with Simon when they came out.
Take That were great!
I would so laugh if against all odds Stevi gets through. Of course it would make this show more of a circus than usual.
ffs means Stevi is going
There's no-one I like anymore. Gone off Lauren massively.
So more if the same, big shouty song with ugly faces
Stevi's best performance to date.
I actually preferred Stevie... oops
This is good. Bless Stevi!
This sing off is weird from Stevi, like he is doing an encore of his own concert lol
lol that was so much better than Andrea.
If I was Stevi I'd just do a Katie Waissel in her "sod it" moment!
I liked Stevi's performance more to be honest...
Stevi bringing another solid sing off perf, but he really ought to go
Oo, maybe Louis will stir it up again.
Louis last always means a potential deadlock!
Oh my god if Louis takes it to deadlock...
He won't though, he loves Andrea and doesn't like stvi much.
Louis could go either way. AMAZING.
Ah well, Stevi finally gone. Was hoping he would stay as he entertained me each week.
Not an awful result, but we really MUST lose Andrea before the final, preferably next week.
thank f*** for that.
I was worried Cheryl would take it to deadlock though, to get rid of the competition (Andrea could have been the bottom act).
This is all going to plan for Simon, he is going to get his Fleur and SK in the final, they will probably lose to Ben, though if the last 2 weeks are anything to go by he is doing his best to derail even him.
I do really like Andrea but a part of me wanted Louis to go to deadlock for the lols.
Although that's quite mean of me for the Andrea fans, if I imagine Lauren/Fleur in that position.
Queen and Ella Henderson next week
Wait so is next week the semi, or quarter finals?
On Xtra Factor: Wardrobe malfunction
Ugh. That means Andrea will get to the semi's. Surely "rebound vote" fot him next week? Would love SK and the Lauren to be bottom 2 next week as it would mean, my two faves left in the competition are the only two to not have been in the sing off!
