6.5 Lauren Platt - Clarity

6.0 Ben Haenow - Come Together

 

she really looks awkward in-between all the dancers. and some of those vocals were off. i know she's ill but it still wasn't that good.

Not the right song choice at all :( Far from her best and it was quite pitchy, but she was ill. Hopefully she pulls it back with the second song choice.

 

01 Lauren Platt - Clarity 7/10

02 Ben Haenow - Come Together 4/10

Lauren Platt - 'Clarity' / 4.5/10 That performance really just showed her up in my opinion, appalling performance skills of literally just taking a casual bored stroll around the stage when so much was going on around her. It could've been a moment because that was a GREAT song choice for her but it really wasn't, quite weak and she's really gone backwards the past few weeks disappointingly because as Simon said that is the sort of song she should be nailing and releasing imo.

02. Lauren Platt - Clarity

 

You can tell she's ill/has a sore throat. I feel for her slightly but she's a massive trooper for actually going on and performing and not taking the easy way out by not performing (not sure what would have happened at this stage in the competition, but assuming it's the same situation - a bye to the next week). She still gave a good performance, but vocally (obvious reasons) it wasn't as good as it could have been, although still good for what they were!

 

07.0 out of 10

Taking vocals out of the mix all she did was stand there and turn a little. ZERO performance went on.

Ben Haenow (Come Together) - Thought it was great and exactly what he should be doing. His best performance in a good while for me. - 9.0/10.0

Lauren Platt (Clarity) - Was strong overall but much like all of her other performances recently, been competent without blowing me away. Some vocal struggling during chorus too. - 7.0/10.0

 

Ben Haenow (Come Together) - 9.0

Lauren Platt (Clarity) - 7.0

Surprised at the negativity for Lauren here, Simon and Louis were completely right in that that's the type of music she'd make in the real world and of course Lauren wasn't fully into the performance considering she was bound to be extremely worried about her vocals - all that considering it was a great performance and one of her best of the series actually. Great song choice and I loved the dance breakdowns with all the dancers :wub:

Awful performance, pretty bland 2/10

Lol at the idea if them finding that old hag anything other than repulsive

6.5 Lauren Platt - Clarity

6.0 Ben Haenow - Come Together

5.0 Stereo Kicks - Just the Way You Are

 

so basic but not their worst song. That VT was so cringe though :lol:

And it goes without saying that that was blander than bland

Stereo Kicks - 'Just The Way You Are' / 7.5/10 I liked the chorus and at times it felt like quite a moment for them but then on other points, particularly again when two of the weaker singers were left to do solos it felt a bit flat. My favourite performance yet though and one of their better performances. I do agree with Mel in a sense though that the backing vocals are always so loud that I'm always dubious as to how much they're actually singing and harmonising. Worked well for them though. 7.5/10

One of their best performances for me ~

that was just as bad as most of their other performances. all the vocals were quite weak really.

 

09.0 Ben Haenow - Come Together

02.0 Lauren Platt - Clarity

04.0 Stereo Kicks - Just the Way You Are

This is painful, as always. They really need to stop singing ballads like this when only James can carry a song like this. I agree they were drowned out a bit, and Cheryl was right. It's just tiring they just stand and sing a ballad every week.

 

01 Lauren Platt - Clarkty 7/10

02 Ben Haenow - Come Together 4/10

03 Stereo Kicks - Just The Way You Are 2/10

Stereo KIDS - Just The Way You Are - 6.7

Another 'heartless' performance tonight. Better than Ben and Lauren though.

I still WANT Diva Kick though

Stereo Kicks (Just The Way You Are) - Mel completely right again. Vocally much weaker than they have been the last two weeks. Bland. - 5.0/10.0

 

Ben Haenow (Come Together) - 9.0

Lauren Platt (Clarity) - 7.0

Stereo Kicks (Just The Way You Are) - 5.0
