September 29, 201212 yr A really good vocal performance (and the emotion was strong yet again) from Carolynne - I like her, but I find her a bit boring. If she gets through, I hope to see something different. Nicola was awful, I felt really bad for her, she was obviously nervous but it's nowhere near good enough. Brad is far too arrogant for an act who isn't very good - his voice always sounds strained. I don't like Melanie's shout-singing style, but I enjoyed parts of her performance. I liked Kye's performance (and like him as an artist). It was a shame about the note towards the end. Probably my favourite act from the over's category though. Christopher is another act that annoys me to high heavens. He gave a decent performance but sounded strained at times. There's still many acts I'd prefer to see get through over him.

September 29, 201212 yr I must admit some of those acts can crack in the live shows, there are some nerves showing notably in Jehmenne, Lucy and Christopher.
September 29, 201212 yr It seems like tonights show has all been about James Arthur. Twitter is going mental for this guy. He's had tweets from Harry (OneD), Perrie (Little Mix), Amelia Lily, Misha B...the X Factor past contestants are loving him!

September 29, 201212 yr Hmm, John Arthur is alright but if he were to win, I really can't see him being successful in the longterm. I guess having brilliant singles to his name will help but that's left to be seen. I just YouTube'd him as I didn't know which one was John Arthur ( :P ) and watched the group performance of 'How To Save A Life' from last week. A song I truly can't stand in its original form but John actually made the song bearable. However, the other two young lads almost had me lmao at their awkward singing. To hear Gary Barlow then say "all three are incredible" must sum up the boys category. :D
September 30, 201212 yr Who I want to go through. Boys: James Arthur - 'I Can't Make You Love Me' by Bonnie Raitt Nathan Fagan-Gayle - 'Beautiful Monster' by Ne-Yo Adam Burridge - 'SOS' by Abba Jake Quickenden - 'Back for Good' by Take That Rylan Clark - 'We Found Love' by Rihanna Jahmene Douglas - 'Titanium' by David Guetta My favourite from that category was Jake, I also liked Rylan showing that he can actually sing when he doesn't do his Ibiza act. However Jahmene was easily the worst for me. He comes across as an unlikeable character for me, if he brings out the "OMG I get nervous" sob story again... :drama: Maybe it's because he tried to sing that song but his voice sounded really shouty. Groups: Times Red - 'Ain't No Sunshine'/'Let's Get It Started' Mitsotu - 'Hey Ya' by Outkast MK1 - 'Just Be Good To Me' by Professor Green Union J - 'Call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen Poisonous Twin - 'Freak Like Me' by Sugababes Duke - 'The Way You Make Me Feel' by Michael Jackson GMD3 - 'Bless the Broken Road' by Rascal Flatts Duke were really terrible :mellow: Union J are OK and they can sing but there are a lot of boybands in this category and the ones I've highlighted are stronger vocally. Girls: Jade Ellis - 'Stand By Me' by Ben E King Amy Mottram - 'Read All About It' by Emeli Sandé Leanne Robinson - 'Hurt' by Christina Aquilera Jade Collins - 'It Must Have Been Love' by Roxette Lucy Spraggan - 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston Ella Henderson - 'I Won't Give Up' by Jason Mraz Lucy's performance wasn't that good but I'm sure if she makes the finals she'll have songs more suited to her style. I didn't dislike any of this category, they were all good. I thought Leanne should've got a bit more airtime but having said that she isn't in my top 3. Overs: Carolynne Poole - 'When You Say Nothing At All' by Ronan Keating Nicola Marie - 'Tragedy' by Steps Brad Shackleton - 'The Final Countdown' by Europe Melanie Masson - 'Everytime You Go Away' by Paul Young Kye Sones - 'Payphone' by Maroon 5 Chris Maloney - 'All Out of Love' by Jagged Edge Chris annoys me with the nervous act except this time he's actually alright at singing. I didn't like Nicola and Brad's performances. Carolynne was the best out of this group for me.
September 30, 201212 yr You just know that Lucy will finish something like 3rd or 4th in the live finals. Even when she gives her worst performance on Mariah Carey week, the public will still vote her through to the following week.
September 30, 201212 yr You just know that Lucy will finish something like 3rd or 4th in the live finals. Even when she gives her worst performance on Mariah Carey week, the public will still vote her through to the following week. It really depends on her nerves as they are beginning to show she could get a crap week where she is not comfotable with the theme and out she goes. I can see one of the boy bands really doing well under Louis, Union J, probably the new Westlife :lol: On the whole the group category is naff, the two girls probably end up getting their own TV show down the line, if they manage to get through to the lives.
September 30, 201212 yr One of Poisonous Twin is Stephanie McMichael from Big Brother, she was out first in 2008 :o Anyway, I predict the following to go through (wildcard in brackets if they do it): Girls Ella Henderson Lucy Spraggan Jade Ellis (Leanne Robinson) Boys Jahmene Douglas (:() Nathan Fagan-Gayle Rylan Clarke (James Arthur) Groups GMD3 Union J Poisonous Twin (MK1) Overs Carolynne Poole Melanie Masson Kye Sones (Christopher Meloney) ---- However I would choose: Girls Ella Henderson Jade Ellis Leanne Robinson (Amy Mottram, she has bad habits and I love Lucy but she would suit songs whereas Lucy's act would get REALLY annoying) Boys Nathan Fagan-Gayle Adam Burridge Jake Quickenden (idk, anyone but bloody Jahmene) Groups MK1 Poisonous Twin Times Red (Union J) Overs Carolynne Poole Melanie Masson Kye Sones (Nicola Marie, for the hell of it :lol:) I can see a shock or two, Gamu style, coming though... I don't know who it will be but I have a horrible feeling it might be one of the 3 strong overs being ousted over Christopher....
September 30, 201212 yr My predictions for who will go through, and who will be the wildcard pick in brackets if there is certainly one for the first show: Girls: Ella Henderson Lucy Spraggan Jade Ellis (Amy Mottram) Boys: Jahmene Douglas James Arthur Rylan Clarke (Jake Quickenden) Groups: GMD3 Union J MK1 (Times Red) Overs: Carolynne Poole Melanie Masson Kye Sones (Christopher Maloney) Who I hope goes through: Girls: Ella Henderson Jade Ellis Leanne Robinson (Amy Mottram) Boys: James Arthur Nathan Fagan-Gayle Jake Quickenden (Jahmene Douglas) Groups: Union J M.I.T.S.O.T.U Times Red (MK1) Overs: Carolynne Poole Melanie Masson Kye Sones (Nicola Marie for the entertainment) Edited September 30, 201212 yr by Davidson
September 30, 201212 yr One of Poisonous Twin is Stephanie McMichael from Big Brother, she was out first in 2008 :o I said this earlier, she also got kicked off Pop Stars The Rivals for lying about her age (being too young)
September 30, 201212 yr I said this earlier, she also got kicked off Pop Stars The Rivals for lying about her age (being too young) I didn't realise until yesterday, there was one particular close-up and I was like 'oh my god it's her!' :lol: I did know about PopStars though and I think it's on YouTube.
September 30, 201212 yr Groups Want Union J, MK1, GMD3 Think GMD3, Union J, Poisonous Twin Boys Want Nathan Fagan-Gayle, Adam Burridge, Jahmene Douglas Think Rylan Clark, James Arthur, Jahmene Douglas Girls Want Jade Ellis, Amy Mottram, Ella Henderson Think Jade Ellis, Lucy Spraggan, Ella Henderson Over 28's Want Carolynne Poole, Melanie Masson, Kye Sones Think Carolynne Poole, Melanie Masson, Christopher Maloney Only really went with GMD3 due to a lack of options
September 30, 201212 yr James Arthur is really good, I can't see why he's getting a lot of hate. He's so much emotion in his voice. Different to everyone else in the male catergory. Again my only worry is that he's not that versatile, can't see him doing Ibiza tracks.

Again my only worry is that he's not that versatile, can't see him doing Ibiza tracks. We don't WANT Ibiza tracks. But Rylan can provide them if needs must. My problem with James isn't his voice at all (which is ALRIGHT but there were some better singers for the males that didn't make-guy with a kid being one of those) but it's the fact that he completely overdoes the sob story. My parents are divorced WAH! I had to live on the streets because of this WAH! My parents are in the same room for the first time in like forever just to support me WAH! I don't look like a typical popstar WAH! All he needs is a mad/emotional gran, a 3 year old kid, his REAL birth mother to finally make contact and mention of him being bullied in school and then we may as well just end the competition there. We'd already have our winner.

Obviously it makes good TV.
