06. John & Edward

Nope, I agree with your rankings completely, even down to the sections you've put them in.

 

Joe was easily my favourite, the perfect song for him and I wouldn't be surprised if it became his "Listen" moment if George appears on the final. Stacey was almost as good, my enjoyment of the performance was slightly lowered because I wasn't familiar with the song, making it harder to appreciate.

 

I think Danyl did a good version of the song, was nice and stripped back. Olly was good, but still dated. It may have been more modern than his other performances, but bringing him forward 10/20 years still puts him about 15 years out of date!

 

Lloyd gave his best performance (and his haircut is better) but it's still not good enough. John & Edward, awful as ever and even less entertaining than usual.

The standard this year is so poor. I think in hindsight it really just shows you how competitive last years competition was.

 

I thought Danyl was good. Honestly can't see why some people on here think he's always so bad. Yes he's not amazing and I don't think he'll win, but I can't help but feel the hate for him on a personal level goes over his performances.

 

Joe stole the show. It wasn't flawless, but it was very good. At this moment in time I cannot see anyone else winning apart from him...

On tonights performances

 

1st Joe

2nd Stacey(But overall i want her to win)

3rd Ollie

4th Danyl

5th Jedward

6th Llyod

 

I agree last years contestants were stronger with the exception of eoghan, i love stacey but she is no ruth for me.

Oh lets be honest ... they're all sh/te!

You guys have been predicting Danyl will exit for weeks now, and it hasn't happened. And it almost certainly won't this time. Whether you guys like it or not, he is very much liked by the public now, and people appreciate what a great singer he is.

Was I the only one who thought Joe's performance was overrated. I've seen that song performed better on talent shows many times.

 

They are scraping the barell this year.

Danyl's normally ok... but his version of Careless Whisper was abysmal.... it's not a song to shout and have histrionics over - it's a gentle, laid back love song.... on the one hand, the arrangement was nice and stripped down... but then you had him hollering all over it, mainly completely flat and out of tune, ruining the whole emotion of the song, trampling it, even.

 

It's such a shame some of the real George Michael classics like Jesus To A Child, Father Figure, One More Time etc were ignored in favour of the more mainstream syrupy boring songs he's written, too - but then hey, that's Cowell....

 

Out of the remaining acts, Joe to win, I think.... although the planted XFactor stories of his supposed relationship with Stacey are hilarious - Joe's camp as a row of tents! If anyone, it's Danyl he'd be having a fling with :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Can someone please explain to me why she's a "Leona clone"? I mean, she's female and sings ballads. That's it. Why isn't she a Mariah clone? A Whitney clone? A Celine Dion clone? Just because she's a girl, she shouldn't be compared to Leona. No-one's going to reach her level from X Factor, it's just not going to happen.

 

I don't see Stacey being anything like Leona. Her diction is so much better & she doesn't warble in every song. Good performance from her tonight, enjoyed Joe too. That lad really can sing. Hope the bottom two are Olly & Danyl, both for me gave flat vocals. Danyl was really exposed tonight with a song he couldn't shout in & I fail to see anything special in Olly.

Russ, it's Olly that's rumoured to be having a fling with Stacey! And LLOYD that's rumoured to be getting it on with Danyl! Joe is being a good boy and concentrating on his music (not sleeping with the twins ;))

 

Jonjo, in the words of Tinchy Stryder, you're not alone. Don't like Danyl but thought he was very good this week.

 

Aaron, I just said the exact same somewhere else, this week was Joe's 'Listen' - has seen him return to favourite in some places and got the first all judge standing ovation of the series. Had forgotten George was rumoured to be on the final, so it really could play out that way!

 

Last night:

01. Joe - No competition, didn't think the big note was particularly big, not enough to make that big fuss over but it was another flawless Joe vocal, superb, one of his best.

02. Danyl - Loved the arrangement, thought it was one of his more reigned in performances. Did well to win me over as I don't like his tone or attitude generally.

03. Lloyd - Think he's getting alot of stick when he is VASTLY improving. This was another of his best, needed a big note in it but he sang it well, love his tone!

04. Stacey - A nice performance but a bit all over the place at the start, I even wondered if she was in key at one point! Not a patch on last week but still love her.

05. Olly - In concurrence with those that can't work out what's so good about him. Not even close to Will Young's vocal ability, not even close to Robbie's. Average voice, decent performer, VERY nice guy so can't begrudge his doing well. But as a singer, no thanks. Awful first half, it did improve though.

06. jedward - Loved them last week. This week? Dire. Go home.

 

I thought last week that Lloyd would be safe today - but then I didn't think Cheryl would stick him on first. So I think it's anyone of Danyl, Lloyd and the Twins. If the twins are there, they're gone. If Lloyd is there against anyone but the twins, he's gone. So, despite disliking Danyl overall, I pray he stays out of the bottom two this week, because unless he's against Olly, Stacey or Joe (unlikely), he is more likely to stay, get a voting boost and maybe even make the final. I'd prefer safety tonight and out next week when (I think) it's just public vote, being leapfrogged in the votes by the person who survives the sing off tonight.

Oh lets be honest ... they're all sh/te!

 

Norma

 

So true.

 

I just cant believe how great last years was and now this year is a complete u-turn!

Ratings:

 

01 Joe <3 Amazing! If George is on the final they should blatently duet that.

02 Stacey YAY. She is finally finding herself and her great singer is coming out. Not as amazing as last week but who cares.

03 Olly This is where it gets tough. The other four werent that great, Olly was probably best of a terrible bunch.

04 Jedward :kink: I thought the vocals werent actually that dreadful.

05 Danyl OK this is going to start coming off as irrational so i'd better explain myself. All Danyl did was SHOUT. Careless Whisper is not a shouty song. The chorus was one big SHOUTFEST, and for those of you saying what a great singer he is, look at Stacey annd compare genuine amazing singing to shouting. kthx.

06 Lloyd LOL. Bad song choice and big mistake putting him on first. He is outta here.

My ranking of last nights performances:

 

1. Joe

2. Stacy

3. Olly

4. Lloyd

5. Danyl

6. Jedward

 

Even though Danyl has way more singing talent than Lloyd, I thought Lloyd was a bit more entertaining this week. I think Overall though Lloyd should still go.

 

1. Joe 10/10 Perfect. Nothing to add. Almost cried.

2. Stacey 9/10 Off notes at times but still big notes won me over by a f***ing margin. Love her again.

3. Olly 8/10 Great as always. Consistent and steady. Should be final 3.

---------------------------------- {The line which should not be crossed :heehee: }

4. Danyl 7/10 :mellow: This was actually not bad. At all. Still hope he goes.

5. Lloyd 5/10 Rubbish. Ruined such an amazing song :(

6. Jedward 4/10 I ran out of my patience for novelty acts in this show. This is BORING now. And boringly disgusting already. GET 'EM OUTTA HERE.

 

My Top 3 performances after 7 weeks:

1. Olly - week 4 :kink:

2. Joe - week 7

3. Stacey - week 1

LMAO @ all these almost identical rankings :lol:

Out of the remaining acts, Joe to win, I think.... although the planted XFactor stories of his supposed relationship with Stacey are hilarious - Joe's camp as a row of tents! If anyone, it's Danyl he'd be having a fling with :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Now it's Stacey and Joe?! :mellow: First it was Stacey and Olly, now them two have cleared it up that they really are just good friends (You can see that on Xtra Factor and stuff) they move her on too Joe?! They really are trying to sabotage her mainly aren't they?!

If the Twerps and Lloyd are the bottom 2 tonight, I can see Lloyd definitely going over the Twerps.

01 Joe - Good vocal, confident performance but a bit dull.

02 Stacey - Very good on her upper register, not so good on the lower, she's a bit one dimensional.

 

 

Can't choose between the rest as all are awful. Olly's vocals are poor - he's either out of tune or misses notes and lets the backing track take over. His dancing is poor as well. He'll get to the final but will struggle to do more than one song competently. One of the most overrated contestants ever - apalling.

My Top 3 performances after 7 weeks:

1. Olly - week 4 :kink:

2. Joe - week 7

3. Stacey - week 1

 

Stacey - week 6 :heart:

Lucie - My Funny Valentine (cant remember the week)

Lucie - Sweet Child O' Mine (ditto)

If the Twerps and Lloyd are the bottom 2 tonight, I can see Lloyd definitely going over the Twerps.

 

It will be his third time won't it? So if Simon sticks to his 'logic' ... then that should 'be telling him something' and ... you're right! I hope if that is the scenario that Simon gives Lloyd the chop immediately rather than go to the public ... as I've a feeling that little, insipid Lloyd is still more popular with the voters out there than Jedward.

 

If however, the total opposite happens and Jedward or Lloyd went on to actually win ... it'd be a win for me as it would surely be the thin end of the wedge for this sh/te show.

 

Norma

All of the contestants are nothing but average this year. Stacey is my fav. :)

 

Olly is extremely overrated. He can hardly dance. all he does is wiggle his leg and the audience faints. Boring.

 

I'm sick of Danyl doing ballads, even though his performance last night was amazing.

 

Joe is a great singer, not a popstar.

 

Lloyd is nothing but pure $h!t! He cannot sing at all. :puke2:

 

If Jedward weren't on the show, it would have been extremely boring. Their voice didn't sound too bad either.

 

Dannii wins the style war again. Cheryl looked like Bugs Bunny yesterday with that headband.

 

My Final 3 - Stacey, Jedward, Danyl.
