Sam B's version of Bleeding Love does nothing for me, I feel Leona's version is far superior.

 

Looks like I didn't miss anything much tonight, this must be the worst theme of the series, I know its 10 years of the TV show just felt like a dud theme to me.

Olly Murs at the beginning :heart: (Don't forget to vote in the Olly rate!)

 

Luke - 9/10 - Fantastic arrangement of the song and his voice just worked so well with it!

Sam B - 9/10 - I wasn't too keen UNTIL after the first chorus - from then on it was just incredible!

Rough Copy - 8/10 - Fantastic harmonies and they shone in their solo bits too. I still prefer the Little Mix version though.

Hannah - 8/10 - Really stunning version from Hannah, emotional and luckily not too shouty.

Nicholas - 6/10 - Obviously technically great but I found it rather dull and paling in comparison to Joe's version. He has a great voice though!

Tamera - 6/10 - The first 30 seconds was a car crash! And it was definitely in the wrong key, but some parts near the end sounded brilliant.

Well to come back from the cinema and feel the need to catch up on this when 4/6 of it was absolutely TERRIBLE is quite depressing. I feel as though I need to go on iPlayer now and watch 'The Day of the Doctor' again.

 

Nicholas McDonald - The Climb | 3/10

Hannah Barrett - Hallelujah | 2/10

Luke Friend - What Makes You Beautiful | 9.5/10

Rough Copy - Don't Let Go | 3/10

Tamera Foster - Impossible | 2/10

Sam Bailey - Bleeding Love | 10/10

 

Nicholas | Well that was probably his most awkward performance to date. His stage presence is absolutely terrible and he looks as though he's just there to do a job then get off the stage as quick as he can. Terrible song choice and that was reflective through the hideous vocals.

 

Hannah | This seemed like such a desperate attempt for Nicole to try and MAKE her connect with the audience by having her sing the song that Burke is renowned for. In failing to do so (because it'll quite obviously be a Tamera/Hannah bottom two tomorrow night), the performance was so robotic and lacked emotion on SO many levels. Was so monotonous, yawn. I think the public are done with Hannah now.

 

Luke | Amazing performance! He keeps getting better, and it was one of his best to date. Gives the original a run for its money too. :kink:

 

Rough Copy | I imagine Nicole was ranting and raving about how original they are and how they put their own spin on the song and how they should be in the top 3, etc. YAWN. Their performances are terrible and they are abysmal. I hope SOMEBODY picked Gary up on the song choice and how it has NOTHING to do with 'the best of the X Factor' at all. Their cockiness is the most annoying thing about them, though.

 

Tamera Foster | Oh dear. :lol: I feel sorry for her, but that was just hilarious. I imagine she was crucified by the judges too (apart from Nicole who will have praised her to the high heavens). Not a great performance at all. She really needs to take some time out or something if she's going to crack at this stage in the competition. Nu Janet Devlin.

 

Sam Bailey | STUNNING *.* By far one of the best performances of the series. It's really only a two horse race between her and Luke now. Everybody else ranges from mediocre to SHITE. Her vocals were ON POINT and when she belted out that final chorus, my god. Goosebumps. :wub: This girl needs to win!

01 Hannah 10/10

02 Sam 10/10

03 Luke 9/10

04 Tamera 7/10

05 Nicholas 3/10

06 Rough Copy 2/10

 

 

Easily Tamera's worst performance tonight, but we got Hannah's best, and one of Sam's best <3

Tamera was not good tonight. However, who on god's earth decided to add an extra bar when the verse flows into the chorus? I don't know if anyone noticed but there seemed to be a two count break between it instead of flowing straight from the verse to the chorus. It's a little strange as it isn't on James Arthur's version or the Shontelle original. Still, she forgot her words as well but it was strange how they added in an extra bar.

10.0 Luke Friend

10.0 Nicholas McDonald

09.5 Hannah Barrett

08.0 Sam Bailey

07.0 Rough Copy

05.0 Tamera Foster :(

 

Really disappointed with Tamera, forgetting words two weeks in a row now, not good. Luke SLAYED, however, and did one of his best performances :wub:

poor tamera :( i really like her, and everyone forgets their words from time to time, yes i know its happened more than once but still, Pink forgets her words all the time! i've been to bon jovi gigs where jon has forgotten the words, it happens to everyone.

 

my favourites though are defo sam bailey and luke :wub:

 

I was just about to say the same thing, but maybe a little different :lol:

I've seen plenty of artists who forget the words to songs they've written on tour.

Kelly Clarkson forgot the words to some of her tracks three or four times the last time I saw her.. sh!t happens.

The fact is, she tries to bring it back after she's forgot the lyrics. She just needs to get better at it.

She does make it painfully obvious when she's forgot them because she kinda just freezes.. but she's 16 ffs.

And I'm not accepting that people 'won't accept that' as an excuse because it's not an excuse, it's the truth.

Nicholas may be 16 (17 now) and not forget the words, but all 16 year olds aren't the same!

 

Hannah almost forgot her lyrics when she was singing too. She sang "her beauly and the meunlight overthrew ya" :lol:

I let last week pass for Tamera, it was the first time she'd forgotten her words during the live shows, but two weeks running says to me that maybe she isn't up for it. Yeah, she might make mistakes, but I just see it as her not being ready enough right now. It's a shame cause I do love her voice and I am genuinely a fan.

If you watch the clip back, you'll see she doesn't actually forget her words.. it's more about the arrangement messing her up.

She gets caught up in the song and goes to sing the second bridge instead of the first, stops herself and picks it up.

Then, as Connor said above, they added an extra bar into the lead up to the chorus and that threw her off completely.

She doesn't forget her words at this point, she waits for the track to catch up with her. It just sounds like she's forgot.

But we shouldn't really discount her vocals after the first chorus because she was pretty good after the 'mess up'.

I wouldn't really say it was hilarious in the slightest. I'm sure at the age of 16 you wish you could have as much talent / any talent as Tamera :lol:

 

I've watched the performance over and I think people seem to forget that this is a 16 year old girl who has been the main center of attention since the audition stage, She's gained nothing but negative press throughout the process. If anybody messed up there performance I wouldn't claim it was " hilarious". Everybody within the xFactor from this stage on-words is incredibly talented and the bottom two tomorrow will be rather unpredictable. I wouldn't' say for a slightest it was hilarious that she managed to mess up her performance.

 

The funny thing is that Tamera under the right direction would sell more records than anybody within the xFactor. Sam Bailey will not perform well in America while Tamera would.

 

Besides, I don'think Tamera's performance was that bad, It was always vocally better than anything Sam Callahan produced which you managed to provide a 9/10 on a weekly basis.

"This". SO MUCH. It's a shame it's being passed off as "Tamera forgetting her words" again instead of it being a production mishap/error or whatever it's called. I can see why she messed up tbh. The arrangement threw me off too. I don't know whether it's because I'm "wearing loon glasses" or whatever, but this one was not just about Tamera "forgetting her words", it felt a little bit more than that to me, personally. But AGAIN (as with last week) when she was on track she nailed it pretty much.

 

04.0 Nicholas McDonald | 'The Climb' >> He was singing out of tune for most of it! EASILY his worst performance yet. ): <<

08.5 Hannah Barrett | 'Hallelujah' >> WOW. She didn't oversing or screech!? :\ My favourite of her performances so far. Definitely. <<

08.0 Luke Friend | 'What Makes You Beautiful' >> Loved the arrangement he did. It definitely worked for him I think! A little on the verge of shouty and OTT in places, but probably his second best behind 'Kiss From A Rose' <<

03.0 Rough Copy | 'Don't Let Go (Love)' >> Flat. Flat. Flat. Why was there so much praise for this? It was horrible! <<

07.5 Tamera Foster | 'Impossible' >> Bar the obvious (mentioned above), when she was on the ball it was great. I do wonder if the pressure of fame and the publicity may be getting to her. I still think she's going to be a star without this show though. [/stanmode]<<

07.5 Sam Bailey | 'Bleeding Love' I actually thought it wasn't too good (by her standards!). I don't know, something felt a bit awkward with this, I think she struggled with it more than she's struggled with any of her performances before this. It was great in places, but otherwise it felt a bit weak for her. <<

 

01. Hannah Barrett [ERM. WOT?]

02. Luke Friend

03. Tamera Foster [sTAN MODE IS AWN. Sorry, not sorry.]

04. Sam Bailey

05. Nicholas McDonald

06. Rough Copy

 

PREDICTION: Tamera vs. Hannah with Tamera going home. (I still get the feeling these two will suffer due to "split votes". Although I guess we all thought that last week...)

It was pretty hilarious. :lol: Talent comes in many forms for many people, so to say that someone can only wish of having as much talent as Tamera does is a bit on the stupid side.

 

The fact that she's 16 years old doesn't really matter either. Nicholas is the same age and he's doing just fine; I'm sure he's had some swipes of negativity thrown at him, but even if he has it's not affected his performances. Nicole's said that she's told the girls not to look on Twitter or wherever else, and if Tamera is and she's letting that get the better of her she obviously has a lot to learn about the industry she's trying to break into. And going by recent weeks she needs to take some time out and just come back when she's ready because from the looks of things she's not quite made up to be what she wants to be yet.

 

With Sam Callahan (and with everybody else) I judge on performance, as well as vocals. He put on probably the best performances of the series when he was there, and that's why he was scored so high. Not always 9/10 though because the vocals weren't *amazing*. Tamera is cold, has little qualities of her own and it looks as if she's ready to take that 16-year-old mask off and reveal she actually IS Beyoncé.

If Tamera is in the bottom 2 tonight, she needs a upbeat number and turns things around to show her diversity, at the moment she is just singing ballads, we need to see another side of her. I'm also expecting Hannah or Rough Copy in the bottom 2 as well.

I predict a Tamera and Rough Copy bottom two tonight, with Tamera being sent home by the judges. I am so hoping I am wrong as she is the only star in this show.

I think it'll be those two as well. I can see Louis sending Tamera home without a shadow of a doubt, but I'm not so sure which way Sharon would go in this scenario.
