Quite surprisingly Cher just sang 'Cooler Than Me' as her audition song. Just seems strange that a song not even officially released in the UK is already being performed on The X Factor. Wonder if Mike Posner will see a big sales boost.

Someone did Bonkers!?!?! I need to watch that!

 

And Cher seems to have good taste in music! :o I hate it when some people just sing the same songs from 40 years ago again, and again, and again. I'm glad she's introducing these great new songs to our country like Turn My Swag On.

Cheryl picked the song :P

 

& I'm pretty sure Yuli sang Bonkers, but a different arrangement. I couldn't work out what the song was so I googled the lyrics and thats what came up

Plus Louis said she was bonkers straight after the performance :lol:

Pffft. First poor song choice by Cher.

 

Agree poor song choice performed poorly by Cher there is only so much of trying to make Cher urban and street that the public will take.Gamu was amazing hope Cry me Out gets a big boost.Rebecca also did a far far far better performance of Fireflies than Cheryl.

Who says Cher is trying? Maybe that's just her style.

 

Also:

 

Treyc >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rebecca

 

Rebecca's really pretty though. But then so is Treyc...

I like Treyc but she is loosing her identity sorry to say but she really looked and sounded like an Alex B clone.Cher is trying too hard you just have to watch videos of Keri Hilson to see that she has just done a cut and paste copy.I have nothing against Cher I think in a few years she could be really good but at this point there is clearly something wrong with her and she seems a bit unstable.

I'm surprised that you of all people said that since you're clearly a big Alex fan. Alex was wrongly accused of being a Leona clone in 2008 and I think it's unfair to label Treyc an Alex clone just because she has a really strong voice too.

 

She might have sung Beyonce this week but she has sung indie songs throughout the competition ('You've Got the Love', 'Creep'). And how did she look like an Alex clone? Her skin colour?

 

I also disagree about Cher. Sometimes I think the audience/viewers let the show down. Whenever there's a rather unique act, people are quick to throw words around like "pretentious", "try-hard", "fake", "desperate". Yet when there's the same old contestants, people label them "clones" and "unoriginal".

Dont misunderstand me, that is the best thing about Treyc that she could do rock/indie/alternative really well and she really stood out from the pack.Tonight though I am sorry but it is true the dress, the hair and the song it was all too Alex nothing to do with skin colour.

There is nothing unique about what Cher does, if Keri had not done it first Cher would not have thought of it, that is just fact.

Oh. I should probably acutally watch the show before I go around talking about it on forums. :lol:

 

Wow, interesting about Bonkers. I was wondering how on Earth someone would "sing" that. :lol:

Well I think you're the only one who believes that. She looked nothing like Alex. :wacko: Anyway, Alex hasn't exactly copyrighted Beyonce's songs.

 

And so what if Cher was inspired by Keri Hilson's performance? That's it - inspired, not copied. I don't think it was a carbon copy IIRC. Anyway, it's not exactly terrible to repeat choreography. Alex did it with Britney's Toxic on XF two years ago.
