She described on Xtra Factor how she felt water in the back of her throat as she was about to be sick. LOVELY. Ironically that's how I feel whenever I see her face on my screen!

LOL seriously?

 

She should've actually let herself be sick tbh, would've won her sympathy votes ;)

To be honest, taking away the fact that Janet gave two awful performance tonight, the fact that she had stage nerves so far into the competition surely proves why she isn't ready for this competition; mentally and vocally. It will be an absolute farse if she survives another week.

RC can we be best friends? I feel like you would be a HOOT to spend time with.

 

LOL of course ;) Is there a hint of sarcasm in there? :P

 

Wow, I've just watched back 'MMMBop' and my opinion has really changed on it! :o Totally incredible. R&B, so so modern. Rap-like verses. 12455/10 JANET 2 WIN :D

 

Unfortunately I am detecting sarcasm, despite it being totally true!

 

Totally, usually I vote for her 10 times but I might vote for her 11 times tonight! :o

 

More sarcasm? :P

 

I can tell you're a really big fan of Janet, but come on put some perspective on this. Her performance of Mmmbop was terrible. Her dancing was so awkward. Watching her do the snake, she really did not look comfortable. Before she forgot the whole VERSE she forgot a few words before. It was a terrible performance. Even Kelly could see it, but Janet is only young so she's not going to slam her for the performance. Under The Bridge was better, but it was still below par. She has a nice recording voice, but she is not a popstar and she is certainly not a good performer. She just looks so incredibly awkward on stage. If she wins X Factor she will without a doubt be the least commerically successful artist. Her and SyCo are like chalk and cheese.

 

I am such a big fan of Janet's voice, that anything she sings I automatically think is amazing - and I seriously did really like Mmm Bop! I know that she's not everyone's cup of tea, but she definitely is mine ;)

The sarcasm is deserved imo - you are being blinded by your fandom and have no subjectivity.

 

How ANYONE could like the car crash that was Mmm-Bop is beyond me. You are breathtakingly delusional.

JesterBITCH is amazing.

JesterBITCH is amazing.

Indeed. He said basically what I wanted to say, because the blindness of looning really is unbelievable. There's no way I'd be loving Little Mix if they did a performance even half as bad as Mmmbop... And I don't loon them as much as RC loons Janet!

Fine, I'm happy to be deluded! I enjoyed Mmm Bop and that's that! :cheer:

Are you not even capable of stepping back for a minute and viewing the performance subjectively then?

Well I sort of softened to Amelia Lily with her first performance. Very good, solid vocal there. Impressive. Then she went and mauled Kelly Clarkson and sounded awful throughout. She really needs to settle into songs that have as little vocal acrobatics as possible for her voice to not offend me.

 

Janet was a hot MESS as I predicted. Does she try and sound Ellie Gouldingish on purpose? I don't think even Ellie wails like that or mispronounces 'MmmBop!' (when she wasn't forgetting the words at any rate).

 

Marcus is a very talented guy but does nothing for me at all. I think he could win if I'm honest. He just has that boring personality and style going for him that the past couple of winners seem to embody. Either way, win or lose, I do not foresee a big career for him.

 

Misha B. Is it wrong that I liked her Cyndi Lauperness? Not so keen on the second but I like when she does something different. Her rap was hardly audible but I gather she enjoys salted crisps. Tasty.

 

Little Mix MUCH better on 'Beautiful', though still really shaky. Not a great week from them, but they do seem like genuine sweet girls. I want them to win out of the five left anyway.

Im hoping for a Janet Little/Marcus bottom 2

P.S If I were Hanson, I would sue that mop head.

I can see why most people thought it was a poor performance. Some people don't like her voice, and some people would think it was poor due to the forgetting of the lyrics - and therefore automatically become one of the worst performances of the series based on that.

 

However, I stand by the fact that I still thought it was enjoyable and a great performance - and that is my opinion even though not many will agree :)

 

To change to a new subject, I would like Misha and possibly Marcus in the bottom 2 tomorrow - as long as Misha goes :D Decent singer, but nothing special and unlikeable in my opinion :)

If Misha had performed as badly as Janet, forgot her lyrics for the second time and "danced" like a wounded chicken, the Janet stans would have been going on about it for the rest of the week. Thinking Janets performance was poor has nothing to do with her voice or her memory lose, the performance was atrocious. There was nothing great about it although it was enjoyable for sure :lol:

I think the primary factor in people not enjoying Janet's performances, even beyond the vocals, is that she herself hardly ever seems to be enjoying the experience. She always looks utterly miserable on stage as though she would much rather not be there at all. How are people supposed to get on board with that?

The delusion in this thread is just hilarious, Doug's insane ramblings about Janet being 'too good' for the X Factor being the highlight.

 

 

I can just imagine him screeching it at the top of his lungs as he is thrown into a padded cell in a straitjacket.

Liam what was so bad about Gary's Under the Bridge comments?

I actually thought Janet doing Under The Bridge was pretty good... probably the only one though.

 

MmmBop was so cringetastic though and Gary nailed it on the head about why it was so bad for her. She would've been much better doing something like Blame It On The Weatherman for guilty pleasures.

 

They're styling her on Ellie and Florence, so why don't they just give her something like Starry Eyed or Dog Days to do so we can at least get an idea of what she might sound like as a recording artist. Her doing stuff like MmmBop and the Jackson 5 isn't helping anybody.

09.5 Misha (1) - Oh my fuck, this was her best performance to-date!

09.5 Little Mix (2) - AMAZING. I thought Tulisa would just BLOW UP saying to pick up the phones and vote haha.

08.5 Janet (2) - I liked it a lot! *hides* Maybe perhaps I love the song and being biased here, but the performance was rather emotional and NOT BLAND FOR A CHANGE.

08.0 Marcus (1) - What the hell? I like all of the acts I couldn't connect to in the last few weeks.

07.5 Little Mix (1) - A bit lackluster indeed. However Louis didn't even LOOK AT THEM for A GOOD HALF OF THE PERFORMANCE. MANSON SMILEY ALERT

06.5 Misha (2) - Started off very poorly and Misha unfortunately couldn't recover by the end.

06.0 Marcus (2) - That was rather SHAKY vocally. Didn't connect.

06.0 Amelia Lily (1) - That was the first time I noticed that she screams her way through indeed.

05.0 Amelia Lily (2) - SHOUTY BITCH. BYE.

01.0 Janet (1) - Does Louis have ANYTHING ELSE to say to Janet other than "we are looking for a great recording artist, and I think we just found one!" EVERY SINGLE FREAKING WEEK?!?
