some really painful notes here, have a feeling he's gonna James Arthur his way to victory. Wouldn't be behind that if he keeps doing performances like this. 6.5/10

 

8.5/10 Lauren Platt - How Will I Know?

6.5/10 Ben Haenow - I Will Always Love You

Really enjoyed Ben's performance, better than what I thought it'd sound like. 7/10 Didn't really like Lauren's performance, bit bland for me. 5/10

 

Ben 7/10

Lauren 5/10

I really didn't like that at all :huh:

MEL B IS THE REALEST.

That just...didn't work. As expected. Totally wrong song choice.

It was subtly beautiful to start off with but then didn't go anywhere... for me that song always needs to be killer on the final chorus, but it fell flat for me.

obviously nothing on Whitney at all, but that was a rather great version.

Jesus Christ that was AWFUL. Worst version of that song I have ever heard :/ If Fleur or Lauren sang it that badly, they'd be slaughtered and pretty much certs to go. I can't. He is going to walk this if he's fine after this performance.

Really don't get this obsession with trying to make songs different & edgy.

Ben Haenow - Completely agree with Mel B for once, not enough light and shade in the song. He sounded great in the verses but the chorus was weak for me. Shame as Ben has so much more to give than that. - 7.0/10.0

It is ok if you can make a song sound completely different, but X factors definition of 'your own' seems to be slowing it down or pulling out of notes because your voice cant hit them.

It's alright if it's something that suits the acts, but I hated Paul's arrangement of Don't Stop Me Now for example. Sometimes I think they use the whole changing up a song thing to bus people :lol:

Mikey :wub:

Not their best for me... It doesn't work for me when put together fully like this, it was better how it was arranged at their audition imo. It was good enough, but they can do a lot better and they needed a lot better. The thing I do love is the fun they being - the show definitely needs that :lol:

02 Only The Young - Something About The Way You Look Tonight 7/10

03 Ben Haenow - I Will Always Love You 1/10

That's their best performance, hopefully the other group will go.

Betsy makes me weak.

I think I preferred their room audition version, this just seemed to bob along and although it was slick and well rehearsed. We need something where they actually sing something slower and try to show off some proper vocals.

 

Simon's praise not the most help is it basically saying they would have been in danger before that performance.
