November 24, 201311 yr I find this whole Tamera has star quality image to be completely fabricated. She has the looks, and possible potential in her voice. BUT I just don't see it. She's not likeable enough as a person, and I can't see her capturing the hearts and minds of the world like other contestants have done. Just don't see it. Why does she have to be likeable as a person though? Personalities don't sell the songs. The part of the audience that would be letting the acts into their hearts wouldn't be Tamera's market anyway. Not that I'm comparing them, but someone like Rihanna doesn't do well because of her personality. We've just had a #1 single from a dance act that nobody knows anything about. Leona went worldwide because of the material, not because of her glittering personality.
November 24, 201311 yr The performance was nice, but I would've preferred more Mary and less Jessie. Edited November 24, 201311 yr by Envoirment

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.
November 24, 201311 yr Harry and Zayn to become permanent guests on the show please :wub: (also woop 'Story of My Life' <3)
November 24, 201311 yr I really don't like that song but they've definitely improved live - Louis aside who is STILL permanently flat. But, yeah, good performance. COME ON HANNAH NOW :(
November 24, 201311 yr I actually really enjoyed One Directions performance and I'm not even a fan of them . I really like Harry's voice Zayn has a good voice as well ! Edited November 24, 201311 yr by troylovesmusic
November 24, 201311 yr Either that or it was pre-recorded. Would they really go from LA to London just for X Factor to go back for the AMA's? Niall Horan @NiallOfficial 2h AMA's today ! Can't wait

Just look at James Arthur's recent maulings.
November 24, 201311 yr Aww, you can't just choose any song for the X Factor jukebox. would've loved to see Sam singing Animal Nitrate. Anyone know what the jukebox 3 for each act is?
