the judges don't have chances to meet any contestant other their own contestant, they have been mention it ALL THE TIME, how can they speak privately? the only chance they can talk about it definitely only on the stage.

 

AND DO YOU REALLY EXPECT A BOY BAND OR GIRL BAND SING A ROCK SONG?!?!?!?!?!?!? SERIOUSLY??! ANY EXAMPLE?HUH?

 

PEOPLE KEEP HATING TULISA ...SHE IS DOING BUILIANT ON THE SHOW..LOVE HER

 

Hope Frankie just go home or leave competition

Edited October 23, 201113 yr by Mattluck

The Risk were HORRIBLE. Let's just make every act stand on stage, move on one spot, sing averagely, pull off retarded facial expressions and state they had the best performance of all-times. And perhaps they should've NOT fucking gone out and they wouldn't be ill :manson: Amateur excuse.

 

LOL at the public being so loud during the time Tulisa commented on Johnny's performance but getting quiet when Kelly was speaking! :lol:

 

Anyway, my rankings

 

INCREDIBLE

 

1. Johnny

2. Kitty

 

SO GOOD

 

3. Marcus

4. Craig

 

OH WELL, OKAY I GUESS

 

5. Misha

6. Rhythmix

7. Sophie

8. Sami

 

OVERRATED

 

9. Janet

 

CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS HOW SHITTY IT WAS

 

10. The Risk

 

BACKING DANCER-WHORES SOUNDED BETTER AND THEY DID NOT SING AT ALL

 

11. Frankie

Frankie is utterly dreadful, he needs to go tonight... but sigh, my gut feeling is that he'll be saved.

 

His VT was so contrived. -_- I hope people see through it.

That was actually the only funny bit about last night how Gary is clearly having buyers remorse over picking crap Frankie. He even looks like a disappointed father looking at his prodigal son.

Hope Rhythmix go tonight and Tulisa is left with 1 act.

First of all, if anybody thinks what Tulisa did to Misha was bullying, then the definition of bullying is being very loosely used.

 

Secondely, do any of you know what Misha is alledged to have said? There's two seperate incidents. One involving a member of the X Factor staff, and one involving a contestant/(s). If you knew what she had allegedly done to one of the contestants then I'm bloody well sure a good 90% of you would change your opinion on her.

 

Mud sticks unfortunately, especially when you're appearing on the biggest show on television. There's no way the public/the media are going to forget this.

Tulisa - hasn't a clue what rock is

 

First we had Rhythmix with the Salt N Pepa hit Push It -- this was RnB of the late 80s

Then we had The Risk with Gnarles Barkley hit Crazy -- Pop/RnB

 

I also remember Ruth Lorenzo from Series 5 singing Purple Rain in the sing-off and blitzed it

Misha castrated the song

 

My bottom 2 this week would be Johnny and Misha

I still can't believe how much of a twat Gary Barlow was last night. Does he think everyone is going to like him now he 'agrees' with everyone about Frankie?

I thought Tulisa was way out of order last night. Things like that should be kept backstage and backstage only. The fact that she told the millions of people watching about Mischa's apparent 'bullying' was low and desperate. Nobody is perfect and she of all people shouldn't be calling people out on that considering how shes acted in the past when N-Dubz first came to fame. Then there was Louie chiming in with the whole 'one of my acts has complained about Mischa'. It's just all childish and should've been sorted out backstage but instead they've killed the chances of 19 years old's dream.

Ranking for last night:

 

AMAZING OMG BLEW ME AWAY GIVE HER THE PRIZE RIGHT NOW <3 <3

01 Misha (in a totally different LEAGUE last night. Absolutely outstanding, she blew everybody else out the water - it was just what she needed, a chance to really show off her vocals without the raps in between.)

 

---HUGE CHASM---

 

Brilliant

02 Rhythmix (brilliant job as usual from the girls, I really don't see how the song choices were rock, the arrangement was slightly rock I guess, but aside from that I have no criticisms!)

03 Janet (a real captivating performance, showing you don't need overdramatic staging to shine. The one criticism I do have is that slow arrangements of every song are getting very dull, she needs to have an uptempo, I reckon she could've stolen the show with the full on rock SCOM!)

04 Marcus (biggest shock of the night! MLJ was AWFUL and Russian Roulette was good at best but this was a really great opener to the show! A brilliant all round performance without comprimising the vocals!)

Great

05 Kitty (it was very dramatic but that's what I love about her! When she's up and performing in her OTT way, her vocals are great! I have to say though, at the piano her vocals were really quite dodgy... Was it only me who noticed that? :unsure:)

06 Sophie (big disappointment :( It was great but I felt she held back a bit on some notes, and she can do so much more! Much like Janet, she's a victim of too many slow arrangements, Whereever You Will Go was fine as a ballad but this and TD didn't call for it, week 1 she should've had a better song choice and this week she should've done the full on rock version of LOAP!)

07 Frankie (:o Yes, really. He was actually good tonight! Still the weakest vocalist but it was a great, rousing rock performance that should see him through!)

08 Sami (I agree with Gary that it was a bit cruise-shippy and karaoke but she did a good job and she has a damn good voice!)

OK

09 The Risk (DEFINITELY this year's Wand Erection... Yes, vocally they're fine and I sure wouldn't kick any of them out of bed, but really they are just 100% overhyped. Crazy is one of my least favourite songs of all time so that didn't help, but also there wasn't an ounce of rock there, blatantly they were struggling with rock so they got special treatment and were allowed to remain one trick ponies by doing R&B/soul again...)

10 Craig (also overhyped. Yes he has a nice voice but (much like Gary's criticism to Sophie last week) he just sings it and that's it. No emotion or anything... And his mouth movements REALLY put me off.)

Wtf?

11 Johnny (And Johnny... Well... Yes, it was hilarious, and so entertaining, but JESUS CHRIST, is he really on the same SHOW as Misha? It just doesn't make sense, how can he possibly be seen as in the same league as the likes of her, Rhythmix and Janet? The annoying thing is he CAN sing, but Louis insists on him being the joke act every week, I want him to do a ballad. That said, I do like him and although it was the worst performance tonight, I'd sooner go back and watch it than do the same to The Risk or Craig...)

 

The Show as a whole seems very different too... Less ad breaks and more beefed up bitching. Though I guess it was all part of Simon's big plan when he got worried that the show was losing viewers, so that he could attempt to keep the viewers he had. Especially the bit about Misha being a bully, when Louis said 'one of his acts complained', what's the betting that was Kitty? :rolleyes: As if Misha's a bully, she seems like a geniune nice person...

 

Lastly Tulisa. Wtf is she on? So Janet's version of Sweet Child O'Mine and Craig's Stop Crying Your Heart Out weren't rock, yet she gives The Risk Gnarls Barkley without even a hint of a rock arrangement and gives Rhythmix Tik Tok and Push It? WWell I guess although they're not rock songs, the latter had a slightly rocky arrangement... Yes Janet and Craig's arrangements weren't really rock but the songs definitely are! I really don't get her, also I noticed she seemed to have a criticism for everyone even if she liked them (bar her own acts of course), that was all obviously scripted and Tulisa drew the short straw and gets portrayed as a right idiot while fabulous Kelly shines! Though tbf even without the scripted idiocy Kelly absolutely wipes the floor with Tulisa judge-wise. My judge rank now is:

 

01 Kelly

---huge massive gaping chasm---

02 Gary

03 Louis

04 TUlisa

 

But as mentors tbh only Kelly and Tulisa (when she's not busy classing Ke$ha, Gnarls Barkley and Salt N Pepa as rock) are any good, Gary is getting better as all his boys had good songs this week as opposed to him giving shit songs (well RR is amazing but wrong for him) to Marcus as per week 1 and 2 and him giving Craig the wrong song last week. Louis is just awful, turning Johnny into a joke act and making Sami all cliche and karaoke - but he's doing well with Kitty.

 

 

 

Bottom 2 prediction:

Sami

Sophie

 

Louis sends home: Sophie

Tulisa sends home: Sami

Kelly sends home: Sami

Gary sends home: Sami

 

I really can't see any bottom 2 other than this, Frankie actually gave a good performance tonight and I think he's done enough to stay safe. Johnny with the novelty factor is also safe, plus Marcus gave a shock brilliant performance, so I can't see who else. I would say Craig as maybe a bit of a shock but I don't see that happening just yet, it's a bit early for the shock bottom 2 placings :P

 

(sorry for waffling :lol:)

I think Sami's a goner tonight. Such a shame.

I think Sami's a goner tonight. Such a shame.

 

In hindsight, it's not exactly going to be a shock exit. Louis didn't even put her in his original top 3 so I think Louis only cares about Kitty and Johnny - but then with vocals like that, Kitty should be getting all the praise regardless.

What on EARTH is Tulisa on? Gary was right, she completely misunderstood this weeks theme. A rock song us NOT a cheesy pop sing like the awful Kesha track with a few guitar riffs thrown in. And her song choice for the Risk was equally wrong and totally inappropriate.

 

My main bugbear though us Kelly Rowland. I loathe her stupid gangsta chat and her Americanism of everything. Maybe they should ship her home and maybe her style would suit the ailing US version better than ours. Plus, who with half an ear would've kept Sophie and dumped jade? Sophie was awful last night.... Its glaringly apparent Kelly made a very bad error in choosing her. She should go tonight, either her or Sammi due to Louis' abysmal song choice and styling.

02 Rhythmix (brilliant job as usual from the girls, I really don't see how the song choices were rock, the arrangement was slightly rock I guess, but aside from that I have no criticisms!)

What about the fact that they were completely out of key for the entire first minute of the performance until it went into Push It (which is impossible to mess up seeing as it's just shouting anyway)?!

But they barely 'attacked' her. They both gave her heeps of praise and then told her to watch out. Neither of them actually accused her of bullying, they stated contestants had, but they felt that it was just the way she was coming across and implied they didn't think she meant anything by it. It may have been unprofessional but they didnt 'attack' her.

 

And teenage girl? She's 19, not 13 so she's practically an adult. Are we allowed to bring the home truths out the second she hits 20.

 

I am sorry, but I still believe that Tulisa did it tactically and it was all just very childish. This is coming from someone who is bestfriends and in a band with someone who sent a death threat to a Radio 1 listener for saying they didn't like him and his hats. It again, is the fact that she brought it up, when she didn't let Misha have the chance to tell her, her side of the story. It most certainly is 'unprofessional'.

 

The fact is that they are meant to be professionals and are meant to be mature, more mature than Misha who is only 19, and yet they were the ones being childish and unfair.

If you're going to behave badly then you deserve to be called out on it. They're being given an amazing opportunity here and they shouldn't let it go to their heads and act like they have a God given right to be on that stage every week. It's not like they're going to chuck her out of the competition and there deserves to be some punishment for bullying/out of line antics backstage. Public humiliation seems like a good place to start. That's assuming Misha is guilty of this apparent behaviour, but given that two judges called her out on it and she herself didn't bother denying anything on Xtra Factor I think it can be taken as something of a truth.

 

I think Misha is great but it's quite apparent that she has a 'diva' streak (to put it politely).

I just miss Amelia. I'm really not feeling anyone else this year as much as I should be at this point. I honestly don't know who I like the most and there have been no performances that have made me think, I can get on board with them and keep routing for them through to the end. I don't know it's hard this year. None of them are terrible (i.e. Jedward/Wagner style) but there is just no chemistry for them to connect with me. (If that makes sense) Amelia really was the only one I felt a connection with and thought "Wow, she's going to be amazing."

I think it was so ridiculous and unprofessional to bring up what happens backstage (as we will never know the trtuh as we're not involved or see it so anyone could say anything and we wouldnt know if it was truth or not) and Crazy & Tik Tok are not rock songs. So on Tulisa's behalf fail and why she shouldnt have been chosen as a judge imo.

 

Havent got a clue who will be in the bottom 2.

Some of you are quite naive to the blatant manipulations of the producers and so on... the judges don't have the final word over anything that goes on! The producers have to okay every song choice. They probably gave Tulisa the go ahead in the hope of some 'that's not a rock song!' drama from the other judges. Either way I don't understand why only she got the flack when both Gary and Kelly removed the 'rock' element from most of the rock songs chosen for their acts...

Hmm this is true, as I said in my post, they're obviously trying to beef it up (well actually we know they are) and Tulisa has drawn the short straw and is thus being portrayed as a right twat. Agree on Gary and Kelly to a certain extent too, at least they did choose rock songs, but they did remove the whole point of being rock so I see where Tulisa was coming from. It's just with her giving her acts rap, R&B and electropop (as you said, the producers wanted the spats) and then criticisng it not being rock it's a bit wtf. Though of course that aspect was also 'scripted'.

It's becoming too hard to watch X Factor now - most of them have yet to hit a note in tune - the singing has really taken a back seat this year :(.
