December 6, 201410 yr Could that performance have just clinched it for Fleur? The cynic in me still thinks Ben will take it, but she's putting up one hell of a fight.
December 6, 201410 yr Could that performance have just clinched it for Fleur? The cynic in me still thinks Ben will take it, but she's putting up one hell of a fight. Hopefully she'll perform it again in the final as her favourite performance?
December 6, 201410 yr Votes: 3x Andrea 2x Fleur I'm quietly confident they'll both be in the final but in the event of deadlock (against Lauren) you can never be certain!
December 6, 201410 yr 5 votes to Fleur, I really can't get over her second performance, she blew all the competition tonight, and its one track I really love at the moment, so I'm hoping good things for the track in the new year. Just hoping she performs it again in the final as her favourite performance of the series. Another boost to the track is well needed.
December 6, 201410 yr James performed Let's Get It On after he sang that during the top 5 iirc, so Fleur could easily do Uptown Funk again next week. Simon would be absolutely mad not to have her sing it, that would surely clinch her the title!
December 6, 201410 yr I've listened to Alex's version of Hallelujah on repeat so many times it felt weird Ben singing it! Their voices are so different. But Hey Ben's voice is fantastic and he has to be in the final. 5 votes for Ben.
December 6, 201410 yr Jamelia said on Xtra Factor "Lauren is the weakest link".... awkward :lol: Jamelia's on Xtra Factor? :wacko: As in that singer who was last relevant in 2006? :lol:
December 6, 201410 yr Jamelia's on Xtra Factor? :wacko: As in that singer who was last relevant in 2006? :lol: She was a judge on Ireland's version of The Voice last year :lol: Your non Delores O'Riordian, Rachel Stevens and Una Foden faves could never!
December 6, 201410 yr She was a judge on Ireland's version of The Voice last year :lol: Your non Delores O'Riordian, Rachel Stevens and Una Foden faves could never! Oh gosh :lol: and we thought getting the guy from Kaiser Chiefs was scraping the barrel.
December 6, 201410 yr Facebook likes, Andrea has been struggling in FB likes the last few weeks and Lauren has been topping them, so it really is a turnaround for those 2 and if they are the bottom 2 surely it can only go one way. Performance 1 Andrea - 5,800 Ben - 5,800 Fleur - 5,400 Lauren - 4,700 Performance 2 (posted as one status) Fleur - 407 Ben - 369 Andrea - 221 Lauren - 167
December 6, 201410 yr I have a feeling Bruno & Mark Ronson could very well now be Fleurs Celebrity Duet(s) considering how well this went down!
December 6, 201410 yr Does anyone think a big name might have agreed to perform with Andrea in the final but maybe only Andrea? It seemed like Simon spent ages slowly dragging down Andrea, giving him negative but not overly unfair comments, painting him in gold etc, then the last 2 weeks have been a total u-turn. Simon was very positive about Andrea tonight and after getting him into the bottom 2 they could have easily done their best to keep him down. There have been a lot of Spice girls references with Andrea, could Mel have managed to get them to agree to a final performance but only with Andrea? Or maybe Ed Sheeran. Considering we have had people like Shane from westlife recently I'd think getting big names for the final is a huge priority.
December 6, 201410 yr I love that Andrea mentions the Spice Girls quite a lot! :wub: Hmm, I have no clue who the celebrity duet partners will be, not even sure who I want for them either.
December 6, 201410 yr If Lauren somehow makes it through I'd hate to see her duet with Cheryl :drama:
December 7, 201410 yr Oh god Lauren and Cheryl would be who could miss the most notes singing together.
December 7, 201410 yr If Lauren somehow makes it through I'd hate to see her duet with Cheryl :drama: Even worse would be Andrea and Mel singing a big diva ballad :lol:
December 7, 201410 yr Just caught up: 01. Fleur East - All I Want For Christmas Is You >> Vocally, it wasn't "great", but she's not got the strongest voice ever, but everyone seems to be aware of that. However, her vocals weren't as bad and DO seem to be improving slightly. Performance wise a 10 though. As per. But we should also remember, Rihanna hasn't got the strongest voice in the world, but look at her. << 08.0 out of 10 --- 02. Lauren Platt - Stay Another Day >> Song choice, on paper, should have worked for her. It all just fell completely FLAT though. She was just very, very "meh". I honestly don't get why people think she's a "star". She's good, but imo, it's more of a "contestant who should finish 7th" sort of good. << 05.0 out of 10 --- 03. Ben Haenow - Please Come Home For Christmas >> Vocally excellent. The performance though? So BLAND. I like Ben and think he gets too many negative comments on here, but he really is the best male vocalist in the competition this year, so I'm very happy for him to finish in the final. Maybe win, but I kind of want Fleur to be a successful winner for once. The song really suited him, I just wish there was a performance... << 07.5 out of 10 --- 04. Andrea Faustini - O Holy Night >> One of my favourite traditional Christmas songs. But this version was not needed at all for me. I struggle to bear his voice at the best of times, but this was just no. I honestly don't find his voice appealing at all. It just sounds like he's vomiting all the time. Leona's version >>>>>>> Anyone elses. << 04.0 out of 10 --- 05. Lauren Platt - Story Of My Life >> That was a lot nicer than her first performance. A lot of bum notes/shaky notes, but there was a moment where she started to sing in her falsetto, and it was actually stunning. The X Factor journey montage was sweet! << 07.0 out of 10 --- 06. Fleur East - Uptown Funk >> PHE. NOM. E. NAL. I have no words! Honestly, everything that's need to be said has been said already! She is in a whole different league to anyone who's been on XF before. She's been given my first "11" of the series. WOW! << 11.0 out of 10 --- 07. Andrea Faustini - Wrecking Ball >> Better than his first performance, but we all know my gripe with him by now. So no point in repeating myself and all that. He just doesn't do anything for me, personally. I doubt he'll ever out do 'Chandelier' for me. << 06.5 out of 10 --- 08. Ben Haenow - Hallelujah >> I really loved that. The song has been done to DEATH now and I do prefer the Beasts version, but his rendition of it was really, beautiful! Very good song choice for him! << 09.0 out of 10 ==== Conclusion? Fleur East FTMFW. *watches Fleur's UF performance on repeat* Goodbye.
