Louisa and 4th Impact are pretty inseparable after week 1, both gave fantastic performances :wub: Anton and Mason surprised me with excellent performances, and Lauren sadly disappointed me a lot with a very dated performance :( No-one I truly dislike but Bupsi just felt lacklustre.

13 Anton Stephans

 

Not understanding the love for Anton, he's so annoying and very shouty, oops.

 

Ché was surprisingly a let down. His voice is good, but not put to good use here. Not a good song choice, and the mash up was so predictable.

 

I agreed with Cheryl, the Someone Like You Reggae Mix did not work! Max was still singing it as an emotive ballad, so the instrumental just didn't complement.

 

Bupsi... she fell completely flat, the studio audience looked dead. However, she does have a good voice. I'm sure she could put on a more exciting performance than she did, with the right song choice.

 

Seann has an undeniably great voice, but his performance didn't really do it for me. Very theatrical, but I'm looking for him to do some "popstar performances".

 

Kiera sang the song nicely, but she doesn't command the stage and I felt like I was losing interest in her during the performance. :(

 

Reggie 'N Bollie are very fun! I find them to be highly likeable. I just hope their appeal doesn't wear off and that they don't do the same week in week out.

 

Alien Uncovered - I didn't think the performance was quite as sharp as it could have been. At times I felt like they were merging in with their dancers and not looking very distinctive as the main act on stage (which is surprising considering how striking they all look individually). I thought the chorus seemed a bit too sweetly sung, it needed more grit. Verses/rapping a lot better. There's definitely potential with these girls.

 

Lauren - 'I'm Every Woman' will always sound dated, but she did sing it very well. As a personality I'm a bit unsure whether I find her endearing or whether she's going to end up grating on me. ;o

 

A strong vocal from Monica, but it would be interesting to see her perform a song that wasn't so "intense". I need to see whether she has any diversity.

 

Mason - I kind of hate that I've placed him so high up my ranking, but his was one of very few performances that felt modern and like it really did match the theme "this is me". He did 'Sorry' justice. <3

 

Louisa... I didn't quite understand the mass liking for her last week (Judges Houses was the first time I saw her), but after this performance I completely get her now. 'God Only Knows' usually irritates me, but she made me like it. Very beautifully sung, and definitely the strongest voice in her category (or any category). Having said this, I found it slightly hilarious that her song choice for "this is me" was a song she hadn't even heard before.

 

Finally, 4th Impact... yaaaas! *.* So much energy, vocals on point, I even thought their rapping was superior to Alien Uncovered. Very exciting!

Lauren 'I'm Every Woman' [07.0/10] [yes she can sing but she doesn't have The X Factor, nor does anyone who sings this song]

Max 'Someone Like You (Reggae Mix)' [07.0/10] [his vocal could have been better, don't think he suits reggae really]

Alien Uncovered 'Do it Like a Dude' [08.0/10] [they still need to improve their singing but at least they have personality unlike the first 2 acts]

Kiera 'Crying For No Reason' [08.5/10] [i think I heard one bum note but it was mostly great]

Anton 'Dance with My Father' [05.0/10] [he is already annoying me and this is only week 1. guess he can sing but I don't like his voice or the song]

Che 'Tears Dry/Ain't No Mountain' [08.0/10] [he can really sing and is remotely interesting too yay]

Mason 'Sorry' [08.5/10] [very good, glad he's in the lives]

Reggie 'N' Bollie 'It Wasn't Me' [08.0/10] [good to have these on the show just for the sake of variety, but thankfully they did a good performance too and aren't just the novelty act]

Louisa 'God Only Knows' [09.0/10] [omg she can SAHNG]

4th Impact 'Problem' [09.0/10] [really good too, they're so much better than Alien]

Bupsi 'You're A Wonderful One' [06.0/10] [bleh]

Monica 'Make it Rain' [08.0/10] [she was good, she made the song more interesting than Ed Sheeran - not hard but still an achievement[/b]

Sean 'Life on Mars' [08.5/10] [really like his vocal]

Not really that massive on Reggie n Bollie but Shaggy worked well for them. I really dislike Monica and Alien but they were not the worst on last nights performances.

Ranking #2

 

1. Louisa Johnson

2. 4th Impact (randomly put them lower last week because I had forgotten them for a brief minute but they are without a shadow of a doubt the best group this year. Consistently brilliant)

3. Sean Miley Moore

4. Anton Stephens

8. Max Stone

9. Reggie n Bollie

10. Mason Noise

11. Keira Weathers (big drop from last week. The vocal and performance wasn't at all good tho...)

12. Bupsi (she has an alright voice overall but she's by far the weakest here).

 

At this moment I'd only be happy with any of the first 3 winning but I really am team Louisa. 4th Impact come extremely close though.

Really cannot stand the bottom four, do not understand the hype for Alien Uncovered at all, it's all a bit basic and flat. Keira was disappointing too considering how great she's been up to now, that song did her no justice at all. Just no.

 

Lauren and Mason are by far my favourite two though :wub:

Louisa absolutely slayed everybody last night for me. I didn't "hate" any performances last night. Some had their problems, but they're the "problems" that can be ironed out and worked upon week after week. Monica really surprised me! She gave a good performance last night, but I just don't like her. Mason & Kiera suffered from their respective songs being in completely different keys to what they're used to. Alien Uncovered are a mess. They really need to be tighter as a group both vocally and performance wise. Their song reminded me of one of those cheap cover versions you'd get on 'Just Dance' for the Wii or something :lol: (although it did remind me a tiny bit of Little Mix - Super Bass and that performance!). Max was very brave with that choice, I think the verses were suited much more to that theme than the chorus was, which was very off putting and jarring. Lauren was cruise ship at best, which is a shame because she has an incredible voice!

Lauren 'I'm Every Woman' [07.0/10] [yes she can sing but she doesn't have The X Factor, nor does anyone who sings this song]

Fleur East tho

Finally watched both shows and here's my rankings/comments:

 

1. Louisa - she absolutely stole the show, bravo

2. Alien Uncovered - excellent song choice for them, their best vocal by far too shame they were eliminated!

3. 4th Impact - again, song choice was perfect for them shows how important it is, as always gave a solid performance

4. Mason - vocals weren't amazing but I absolutely love that song and he did a good job with it

5. Ché - a decent performance but would have been better just the Amy track, the Ain't No Mountain parts were quite cheesy

6. Kiera - I thought she was pretty good actually, not the best vocals but again picked a suitable song for her

7. Lauren - she did the best she could with a terrible song choice, glad she avoided the first performer's curse at least

8. Monica - love her but didn't like the song performed, definitely capable of brilliance in later shows like her JH performance

9. Seann - solid vocally as ever but definitely not my kind of performance, it's getting a bit predictable now

10. Max - not great, doesn't help that I hate that song as it is but the reggae twist just didn't work for me

11. Reggie N Bollie - meh, was fun I guess but not something I'd ever rewatch

12. Anton - can't fault the singing nor performance but not my kind of act whatsoever

13. Bupsi - boring, forgettable and all the time I just thought Jennifer should be here instead, at least she was first out

 

So basically the Overs were all disappointing and the acts I haven't been huge fans of up till now all stepped up their game massively.

Fleur East tho

completely forgot she did I'm Every Woman. Looking at it on YouTube now I can see why, she did far better.

boys category is terrible, aside sean, but what the hell nick was thinking, he should have put josh and too lost in u guy.

Yeah... I can't imagine why he didn't put through someone that you (and most) can't remember the name of. -_-

After Lives.

1. 4th Impact. 2-1 Insane, their talent is incredible. Very likeable, great song choice. Glad they didn't do Shut Up And Dance even though I like the song, it isn't them.

2. Monica. 3-2 A HUGE F*** you to Ms. Whora, why she neglected taking her through in the first place. Do I think she will win? No. But people root for her, she is relatable, she is talented. I'm the most interested in her with song choices. A relevant version of Ms. Dynamite.

3. Seann. 1-3 The drop doesn't represent me liking him less in any way. This Woman's Work is still the performance of the series so far. But I just don't care for the song and I hoped that the theatrics would be a little less. As a theatre performance, it would have been perfect. For the x factor, not as much.

4. Che. 4-4 Wonderful song choice. His voice is great and I think he looked a lot better too.

5. Reggie N Bollie. 10-5 Surprise of the night. I think this is a case of perfect song choice. But they were fun and the performance was really enjoyable.

6. Mason Noise. 9-6 Putting aside the fact that they have moulded him into this humble, gentle guy, this was a relevant and strong performance.

7. Anton Stephens. 7-7 I've never been a fan of this song, so was hard for me to really enjoy it. BUT that takes nothing away from a strong vocal.

8. Max Stone. 11-8 Meh, he pulled it off just enough, but I'd prefer people not to do Adele or try and change her sound, there's some bands/songs that shouldn't be touched and Adele is one of those.

9. Lauren Murray. 5-9 AWFUL song choice, doesn't do enough to showcase her talents. But, it did enough to remind people she is fun and get her through week one.

10. Louisa Johnson. 8-10 Clearly, I missed something. I can just tell her whole "set list" for the next 6/7 weeks will be happy, upbeat songs, turned into slow, drab and "meaningful" songs. For which she will be dubbed "unique" No cheers.

11. Bupsi. 6-11 SO disappointing. It was totally the wrong song. Give her some Chaka, Tina, Diana, Celine. Give her diva classics. Not this.

12. Keira Weathers. 12-12 Bland, bland, BLAND. Beautiful meaningful confessional song turned into some kind of cruise ship song. No depth, nothing behind the eyes, no personality, no x factor. Goodbye asap plz. Thnks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

13. Alien Uncovered. 13-13-OUT. Their sing off performance, no joke, was the WORST performance I have EVER seen on X Factor. Awful vocals, shocking. I am SO pleased that Simon noted that it should be judged on the sing off because there was NO way they could stay after that. I didn't like them before, but wow, that was the nail in the coffin.

Oh! I forgot to do this
