June 7, 201312 yr She might have flopped - but I think putting those four one after another, Leanne definitely had the better voice. Not as much 'star quality' as Tyler maybe, but a better voice.
June 7, 201312 yr It's nothing to do with my taste? I can usually see why contestants who I hate are liked but I genuinely don't understand why people like her so much. So you understand why contestants you hate are liked, but don't understand why Leah is liked when you hate her? That makes SO MUCH SENSE.
June 7, 201312 yr Well, yes, it does - I don't like Emeli Sande but I can see why you would like her. But, then there's some people who you literally cannot see ANY appeal of.

June 7, 201312 yr Well, yes, it does - I don't like Emeli Sande but I can see why you would like her. But, then there's some people who you literally cannot see ANY appeal of. I suppose, but everybody's going to have some fans, whether it be a very small amount or a very large amount, thus they do have some appeal.
June 7, 201312 yr I suppose, but everybody's going to have some fans, whether it be a very small amount or a very large amount, thus they do have some appeal. That's not the point though. I'm talking about not being able to see that appeal.
June 7, 201312 yr Gutted that Sarah's out. :( Matt didn't deserve to go through after that performance (will post my full comments on each artist in a wee while).
June 7, 201312 yr Ugh. I can appreciate Mike has a good voice but he's absolutely no different to Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton or any other male country singer... Gutted for Alys :(
June 7, 201312 yr Author I wasn't too fussed over Team Tom, but I would have prefered Alys over Mike Ward. Sad to see Sarah gone, but I knew she was goner, I don't think we seen the last of her.
June 7, 201312 yr Sad to see Sarah gone, but I knew she was goner, I don't think we seen the last of her. She'll probably get a few nightclub gigs, then fade from the music industry.
June 7, 201312 yr Not a massive fan of either of them, but Karl was definitely the better singer tonight, so I'm happy with that result. ^_^
June 7, 201312 yr On tonight's performances, the results were just about perfect - the only change I would have made would be to have Leanne through over Cleo, but Cleo was still great - Team Will was definitely the strongest team! My top 3 tonight probably would've been Leah, Andrea and Leanne - but overall the quality of contestants is much higher than what I remember from last year. Great to see the amazing Bo performing 'Save Me' too though! :wub: I really hope Leah can win, she seems to definitely have the momentum - I just hope it can last for two more weeks! :wub:
June 7, 201312 yr I scribbled some notes on a Word document while I was watching the performances, so I'll post them here now ~ TEAM JESSIE Matt What on earth even was that?! What a shit performance of such a wonderful song. I don’t really think male vocals match the song at all, and only somebody of Emeli’s vocal ability could tackle it (:kink:). Really bad song choice, but for Jessie to allow Matt to sing this, yet telling Cherelle she couldn’t sing an Emeli song… How contradictory. Ash Again, what was that? Strong vocals, but that was such a boring performance. I think I liked the backing vocalists more than I liked Ash, and the cover of the song was really poor. I don’t understand why Jessie was close to tears either. She’s such a drama queen; it’s unreal – and cringy to watch. Sarah Definitely a better song choice than the rest of team Jessie, but IDK if she pulled it off as best she could. I only really heard her voice when she was belting out the big notes – and that really dominated all of her performance (but I can’t work out whether in a good way or not). Definitely the strongest voice in Jessie’s team, but… hrm… I don’t know if Jessie has a winner at all… Bit annoyed that Jessie gave Ash the fast-pass too – he’s not as amazing as she makes him out to be, and I’m not looking forward to any more dreary and dull performances from him. TEAM TOM Alys Her voice is so beautiful, and that song was sung perfectly (good choice too). I love how at points when she’s singing her accent comes through – love that in singers (e.g. Amy MacDonald). Stunning. Joseph Joseph’s not normally my cup of tea, but that performance was so uplifting and feel-good. Really liked that, even if it doesn’t have a spot on Marcus Collins’ version with all of the gospel singers (which was mesmerising! :D). Jessie’s comments about not committing himself fully performance-wise are so true, though. I didn’t feel he was putting a lot into it (excluding his voice, of course) which was a bit disappointing, so it’s hard for me not to compare that performance to Marcus’ because he committed to it so much. Mike Tom Jones, die. Carolynne Poole is the first country singer the UK has, Mike is nowhere near. This song needs to die, too. So irritating hearing it over and over – and putting a country twist on it with a really deep and annoying country tone doesn’t really help either. Not overly enjoyed any of Mike’s performances in the series so far, and don’t think I ever will. All he really has going for him is how good he looks (:kink: very lovely, attractive man x). Not really surprised at Tom’s decision to give Joseph the fast-pass, that was a bit predictable. Feel sorry for Alys though – just need to hope that she wins the public vote now (which shouldn’t be hard against Tim McGraw mk. II). TEAM DANNY Andrea Aside from the slightly irking song choice, Andrea’s voice is so beautiful and makes the song quite listenable. Such a sweet singer to listen to, and it was definitely better than the original. :kink: She’s one of the best singers in the competition, TBH. Really glad she’s getting the support she deserves too, and she’s definitely Danny’s best team member. Mitchel Another really irritating song choice, not really a fan of Mitchel at all. His voice wasn’t at all dissimilar to Imagine Dragons either, which made it seem a bit unoriginal and really boring. If you took away the image, and just heard the sound you could probably mistake it for a live performance by Imagine Dragons themselves, but a shitter one. Karl That was a beautiful song, and I actually really liked that performance, despite not being a fan of Karl to begin with. There was a part in it, though, where his voice was a bit rough and it ruined it a little, but if song choices like these and sounds to his voice like this are what he has to offer more of, then I can’t wait to see more from him. Excellent! SO glad Danny gave Andrea the fast-pass, she really deserves that. Can’t wait to see her perform next week, although from what Danny was saying it seemed as though he was preparing Mitchel and Karl both for them to get the fast-pass only to give it to the person he gave the least praise to. :lol: TEAM WILL Leanne Wasn’t really anticipating her performance after hearing she was singing Where Have You Been, and I stand by that, which is unfortunate because I really like Leanne. It sounded very karaoke, and the backing track was very irritating. She has an amazingly powerful voice, but this performance was a bit of a let down. That note at the end, though. *.* Cleo Perfect choice of a ballad for her, and it was a beautiful cover of Emeli’s John Lennon’s song. Her voice is so strong, and I really felt what she was singing. It was all beautiful, as was her costume and the staging. I think females sing this song more powerfully and more emotionally than males, because did anybody even feel or connect to Jahmene’s performance on X Factor? Very soothing and dreamy performance, probably my favourite of the episode. Leah Yet again proving why she’s one of my favourites this series, she has absolutely fantastic vocal abilities. She is uniquely amazing, and the song choice for her was perfect. The vocals are so, so strong – and I would definitely buy her album, because the sound would be utterly beautiful. Leah deserved to get the fast-pass the most out of all three of them so I’m really glad Will picked her, even though Cleo was just as fantastic. And ranking the remaining contestants ~ 01 | Leah 02 | Cleo 03 | Andrea 04 | Karl 05 | Matt 06 | Joseph 07 | Mike 08 | Ash
