November 24, 201311 yr I see where you're coming from but it does make a difference to how well you take to someone on a talent show in my opinion. The argument that you've given for "we've just had a #1 single from a dance act" means that Lorna Simpson could win as long as she's given the right songs. Leona had a flawless voice, and despite being pretty boring, was still likeable personality wise. Tamera seems so permanently sullen - that's the difference between the two. The judges rave on like she's a future Beyoncé, but she doesn't have an ounce of the star quality. If Alexandra couldn't, Tamera probably won't. I think it's a mistake to try and mix charts in with a talent contest sometimes, as they're different scenarios. You don't have to take to Storm Queen to want them to be #1, but you have to take to an X Factor act to want them to win imo. Tamera won't win, there's not a hope in hell she will win. I'm not even going to pretend there's a possibility. I'm saying that after all this.. It doesn't matter if you're likeable or not. Rooney said worldwide, the world isn't watching UK X Factor. I like her, there's lots of people on this forum (just for a start) that like her and can see her star quality. You not being able to see it doesn't mean it's not there. Plus, I'm pretty sure if a big dance act like Calvin Harris asked Lorna Simpson to do vocals for him, she'd have a hit. It is all about the material IMO. People liking you won't get them to buy your material if it's crap. And finally.. Tamera's the last girl so yay :cheer: Edited November 24, 201311 yr by Scherz
November 24, 201311 yr Does anyone know the songs to choose from for next week?! I don't have the X Factor app. Luke Friend Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water Bon Iver - Skinny Love Elbow - One Day Like This Nicholas McDonald Céline Dion & Josh Groban - The Prayer Lonestar - Amazed Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are Rough Copy Boyz II Men - End of the Road R Kelly - I Believe I Can Fly East 17 - If You Ever (feat. Gabrielle) Sam Bailey Mike & the Mechanics - The Living Years Emeli Sandé - Clown Mariah Carey - Without You Tamera Foster Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Maxwell Version - This Woman's Work The Bee Gees - Emotion
November 24, 201311 yr What terrible song choices! They couldnt get more cliched for Rough Copy if they tried! I have said it before but I do think the song choices have been absolutely terrible this year. Tamera could have had it so much better if she has inspired song choices like Little Mix / Alexandra Burke had in their years.
November 24, 201311 yr I voted Luke Friend Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water Nicholas McDonald Lonestar - Amazed Rough Copy Boyz II Men - End of the Road Sam Bailey Emeli Sandé - Clown Tamera Foster Maxwell Version - This Woman's Work I wish Tamera had a upbeat choice. Not feeling many of the choices although I think Rough Copy would do End Of The Road very well.
November 24, 201311 yr Emotion for Tamera would be pretty good though I guess. But people will just say she's doing Beyonce again :(
November 24, 201311 yr Céline Dion & Josh Groban - The Prayer That should be Andrea Bocelli :smoke: (even though the live version with Josh is superior) I suppose Nicholas would leave out the Italian parts if he did it :lol: Edited November 24, 201311 yr by Regina
November 24, 201311 yr LEAVE SKINNY LOVE ALONE! Birdy's Skinny Love (I Can Do No Original Songs Just Murder Other Indie Artists' remix) is already MORE THAN ENOUGH. STAHHHP
November 24, 201311 yr Voted: Luke Friend Bon Iver - Skinny Love Nicholas McDonald Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are Rough Copy East 17 - If You Ever (feat. Gabrielle) Sam Bailey Emeli Sandé - Clown Tamera Foster Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Tamera's the last girl so yay :cheer: I do agree that material is important so I'm certainly not disregarding your point, but what I'm saying is ANYBODY can be given the right material so it's almost like a redundant point. You could give Sam Callahan fantastic material, but he doesn't have a voice. At the moment, this current scenario, we're voting on what we're being shown through a talent show. That comment about me not seeing her star quality is also pretty irrelevant as it's pretty much valuing your opinion over mine - you'll find fans for any act on X Factor, who think they're superb. Calum saw it in Sam C, most of us didn't. We don't know what material she's going to be given yet, so we can't judge or comment or predict, but right now she's proving to be quite incompetent with lacking star quality and personality.
November 24, 201311 yr I voted: Luke: Skinny Love Nicholas: Amazed (I couldn't care less) Sam: Without You Rough Copy: End Of The Road (I hate that song so they can't murder it) Tamera: This Woman's Work (if they do the whole pretend it's just Maxwell's song thing I will cut a bitch)

Well not everybody is going to be given the right material are they.. Whereas Tamera will be given that chance. In my opinion, she has a fantastic voice, she's got the look of the star and she owns the stage when she's on it. I'm not valuing my opinion over yours when I say that just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. You state it as fact.. "She's lacking star quality". You mean in your opinion she is, it doesn't mean that she hasn't got it. I didn't even bring up my opinion on that, I'm just saying that just because you say one thing doesn't mean it's true. And if you want to talk about redundant points, you're arguing that having a personality is important in this competition.. Hannah, arguably the biggest personality, has just been voted off. So make of that what you will.
November 25, 201311 yr Yes!!!! Hannah gone. Yippee - the shouter gone at last. The will probably save money on mikes no they won't disappear down her gob. :yahoo: :yahoo: If she was that good why was she in the bottom 2 - 3 times. Edited November 25, 201311 yr by euro music
November 25, 201311 yr If Sam B sings Emeli Sande I may have to ring up Ofcom and complain. Eh she already did so start ringing...
November 25, 201311 yr Eh she already did so start ringing...Which is why he'd be complaining... (but mainly due to it being Emeli)
November 25, 201311 yr Which is why he'd be complaining... (but mainly due to it being Emeli) Yes, I should have put "again" in my original post. I mean it's stupid even giving people the option for her to sing 'Clown' again. Fair enough if it was 'Daddy' because that wasn't actually that bad.
November 25, 201311 yr The overuse of 'Clown' does get annoying; but Sam B singing it is fab. If they're going to churn Emeli out at any opportunity they can at least try following The Voice and have someone sing 'Heaven'.
