May 4, 201312 yr I can't believe Jessie J turned round for that piece of crap and ignored the last performance. He's wasn't bad, but it was a terrible song choice (great song, he just didn't give it anywhere near enough) which is annoyingly what she's ALWAYS pulling people up on. That girl who sang Emeli Sande sounded really good too!
May 4, 201312 yr This last show is always the problem I have found with the format of the blind auditions, it really isn't fair on the artists and really great people don't get through.
May 4, 201312 yr I have always wondered what would happen if Will chose say Gemma (classical girl who sang Haberna), would the rest just be sent home without singing? :/ Also HOW overrated is CJ already? God knows what they were watching but it was obviously different to what I was watching.
May 4, 201312 yr I'm sure the whole thing would've been ordered by producers knowing Will would pick that guy - it's no coincidence, let's face it.
May 4, 201312 yr Bronwen was absolutely fantastic, so annoyed they didn't turn for her. :( Other than that, some of the people they did pick, I wouldn't have picked myself. I particularly liked Abi as well as Bronwen, though. :D Looking forward to the Battles, now.
May 4, 201312 yr A really disappointing final set of auditions. They peaked at Adenike/John - the first two - and everyone else ranged from dull to overrated; Moni, Joseph and CJ especially. Abi was dull during the majority of her performance, but I really enjoyed the Bollywood(?) elements that she injected into it.
May 4, 201312 yr I still remember the name Harriet Whitehead and how amazing she was from the last day of blind auditions last year and how she missed out due to the coaches being very cautious over who they pick. Bronwen is definitely this year's Harriet it seems as she was incredible and it is such a shame she didn't get picked, hopefully she will return next year like I hoped Harriet would this year. :(
May 4, 201312 yr One of the highest songs on iTunes from tonight's show? Fast Car. Will it get back into the top ten again next weekend? :lol:
May 4, 201312 yr I think Bronwen could have been a potential winner, she was just brilliant! Going into the battles, my faves from each team are: Jessie - Letitia/Sarah Will - Liam/Leah Tom - Alys/Emma Danny - Alice/Abi I'm sure the whole thing would've been ordered by producers knowing Will would pick that guy - it's no coincidence, let's face it. Yeah true, black guy with soul who is bound to be overrated has Team Will written all over him! I get why he didn't pick Gemma (?) as he already has a classical act, it's just a shame she couldn't progress as despite the fact I don't like classical or opera music, she was so so good!
May 4, 201312 yr Oh and sorry to double post but we should all take a moment to appreciate this: uJDccPMCs-Q :wub: She won't get as much coverage though and she'll probably be out in the battles... 50/1 to win right now, but she's my favourite! Full bookies odds, seeing as I'm here: 9/1 Liam Tamne 14/1 Alex Buchanan 14/1 Barbara & Carla 14/1 Karl Michael 14/1 Matt Henry 16/1 Ash Morgan 16/1 CJ Edwards 16/1 Cleo Higgins 16/1 Moni Tivony 16/1 Nadeem Leigh 16/1 Trevor Francis 20/1 Andrea Bagley 20/1 Connor Scott 20/1 Joseph Apostl 20/1 Leah McFall 20/1 Lem Knights 20/1 Sarah Cassidy 25/1 Jamie Bruce 25/1 Mike Ward 25/1 Nate James 25/1 Ragsy 28/1 Alys Wiliams 33/1 Elise Evans 33/1 Emily Worton 33/1 Leanne Jarvis 33/1 Ricardo Alfonso 40/1 De-Vide 40/1 LB Robinson 40/1 Laura Oakes 40/1 Lovelle Hill 40/1 Mitchell Emms 40/1 Sean Rumsey 50/1 Abi Sampa 50/1 Danny County 50/1 Diva 50/1 Emma Jane Garbutt 50/1 John Pritchard 50/1 Jordan Lee Davies 50/1 Letitia Grant-Brown 50/1 Paul Carden 50/1 Smith & Jones 66/1 Cherelle Basquine 66/1 Katie Benbow 66/1 Nu-Tama 80/1 Colin Chisolm 80/1 Lareena Mitchell Some of my favourites (Lovelle, Letitia, Alice and Abi) very low :( Not that bookies odds are the be all and end all ofc!
May 4, 201312 yr dafuq :manson: I forgot who he was so I assumed he was one of the 'credible' males who there have been a few and so they've blended into one, but I looked him up just then and this was my thought exactly! He actually reminds me of Rylan Clark, I was astonished anyone turned round at his audition let alone all 4 iirc :/

He actually reminds me of Rylan Clark, I was astonished anyone turned round at his audition let alone all 4 iirc :/ I can understand all the other males/Barbara & Carla at the top of the odds due to their 'credibility', but Alex was an absolute joke! Hopefully he's knocked out pronto next week.
May 4, 201312 yr The highlight of tonight's show purely for the fact it was wrong on every single level possible was that lad from Hear'Say doing a jazz version of 'Wannabe'. :lol: No wonder nobody turned round. I suspect he was forced to perform that song/style by the producers just for TV purposes (same with the lady from Bucks Fizz) but I agree that they should allow the judges to choose as many as they want. Then they have to whittle it down to 12 contestants as that way great auditions at the end don't suffer because 2 acts are full, and the other 2 just don't have any interest in that singer (ie; the Welsh girl). Amazes me that last week Danny chose a young lad who sang 'Locked Out Of Heaven' yet he sounded absolutely dreadful. It made me wonder what Danny was thinking. Liking the song does not mean the singer is good.
May 5, 201312 yr I hate how the acts at the end are at a disadvantage. The judges could maybe turn for whoever they want and then select their 12 before the sing off round. Although, they'd probably end up turning for everyone if that was the case
May 5, 201312 yr Author I agree the end result was pretty pathetic, when the last guy appeared and started to sing, it was pretty instant for Will. But I hate the way the Welsh girl was treated, she had a great voice, than some of the shambles that's in the competition, and Jessie not picking her over that guy who was rather crap, trust Tom to make an earlier mistake, I'm sure he would have snapped her up. I agree with Hits, the judges should pick as many as they can, than wittle it down to 12 behind closed doors. Mind you 12 acts is excessive per judge I find, 8 acts would have been much better, so how many battle rounds is there and how long is the show going to on for. ESC is on the way this month that's going to slot in somewhere, usually its around 8pm.
May 5, 201312 yr I don't think allowing the coaches an unlimited number of choices in the blind auditions would work. The whole point of the show is that they are trying to select the best rather than buzzing the worst. Perhaps a better idea would be to allow each of them to pick one or two extra people from the "rejects".
