I'm expecting a Ché and 4th Impact bottom 2. Expecting Louisa and Lauren in the top 2 of the vote myself...

That's exactly what I expect too, sadly I fear for 4th Impact in that case, even though they blew him out of the water tonight.

Going for a 4th Impact and Che bottom 2 as well.

Yeah Che and 4I seems likely. I won't let myself believe R&B will slip that low sadly. Che would probably beat anyone but Louisa in a sing-off though so he's going nowhere.

 

10 Lauren - You Don't Own Me (that was knockout! It was great to see her really as a current artist, that's exactly what she'd release and I loved the newer tones in her voice)

10 Louisa - Jealous (the emotion she brings to songs like this is amazing, and it's all so effortless <3)

09 Lauren - Firestone (that was stunning, so controlled :wub: I don't know what on earth Simon was smoking)

08.5 Louisa - Love Yourself (I'm just biased to love it anyway, but it wasn't as bad as people said in this thread!!! It was her weakest though, just doesn't seem like a moment song at all, and not one you'd sng if you have a huge voice like Louisa. Still, better than most tonight :lol:)

08 Che - Try A Little Tenderness (so much better than the first perf! I think he needs to move a bit more if he does uptempo songs but at least it was better than Hello!)

06.5 4th Impact - I'll Be There (lmao her whistle note !!!!! Overall, not bad, but a bit boring and dated. I'm glad they got a ballad finally but it just wasn't anything mindblowing).

06 4th Impact (I think the Rich Girl bit picked up a bit, and I enjoyed the chorus part of Fancy but the rap was awful! And the boxes with names were a bit eh, but it was fun enough)

04 Che (LMAO at him just standing there for half an hour while the piano played, obviously that happens to everyone but I don't even think it was that great even when he remembered the words... Tbh I just think that's a song only Adele could sing)

02 Reggie & Bollie - Dynamite (a bit better than the last one, but I swear they use the same instrumental most weeks and just sing over it :lol:)

00 Reggie & Bollie - Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) (idc, that had no redeeming features. f***ing horrendous "song" and the performance was just like any drunk performance in a club when it comes on. I know everyone will say "but it's fun" or that I'm blind because I hate them but jesus :/)

I think the bottom 2 will be between Ché and Louisa. They murdered Hello and Love Yourself respectively.

 

I just hope the groups are safe. :w00t:

 

My votes:

3 x Reggie N Bollie

2 x 4th Impact

Edited November 29, 20159 yr by Jason

My Votes:

4x Lauren

3x 4th Impact

3x Louisa

 

Performance Rankings:

10. Reggie N Bollie- Watch Me Whip Ne Ne 0/10 Utterly horryfying, one of the worst ever X-Factor performances

09. Che- Hello 0.5/10 That was painful

08. Reggie N Bollie- Dynamite 1/10 Awful as usual

07. Che- Try A Little Tenderness 3.5/10 Poor

06. Louisa- Love Yourself 4/10 So disappointing

05. Lauren- Firestone 6.5/10 Nice but nothing amazing

04. 4th Impact- Fancy/Rich Girl 8/10 Love them

03. 4th Impact- I'll Be There 8/10 That whistle note *.*

02. Louisa- Jealous 9/10 Hate the song but fantastic vocals and beautiful cover!

01. Lauren- You Don't Own Me 11/10 Perfect *.*

I can make cases for any of them to be bottom 2 I think, if I was pushed I'd probably predict a bottom 2 of 4th Impact and Reggie n Bollie. I think the latter are getting overhyped by the judges not to be potential winners, but to keep scraping above the sing-off each week as of course they provide the entertaining performances and "help" the viewing figures for the variety they provide.

 

I think Ché's rebound vote plus mini sympathy vote for the Hello mess will save him, and I think the high quality of Lauren's performances will just save her too - Grace's massive iTunes boost suggests there was a lot of appreciation for Lauren's performance. Louisa won't be far away either, but Jealous should hopefully help her scrape out of danger as well.

 

The potential spanner in the works is if 4th Impact's vote is consistently higher than we expect (and it's possible as I thought they'd have been in danger a couple of weeks ago), that could cause a big upset!

For me Lauren pulled it out of the bag with her second track. :wub: glad to see Grace top 5 on LPB's

 

The first round was totally crap, it was boring as hell trying to watch their performances, than everybody stepped up a gear in the second round, I wouldn't been surprised if 4th Impact are goners tonight, its between them or Che, but I think his second track saved him after the Hello mess. I just feel the public are beginning to warm to R&B, but I can't see them going any further after next week, if they survive tonight, they are more suited to Kids TV more than anything like Sam & Mark.

 

 

I'm kinda curious who is topping the public votes this week. According to their Itunes positions, it's either Louisa or Lauren. These two have always been the highest ones on Itunes, I feel like despite Simon's comments (who obviously pimps R&B-joke) it's between L&L.

 

 

#30 You Don't Own Me (X Factor Second Performance) [Lauren]

#38 Jealous (X Factor Second Performance) [Louisa]

#74 Firestone (X Factor First Performance) [Lauren] [ekh at Simon's comments, public disagree]

#91 Love Yourself (X Factor First Performance) [Louisa]

#105 Let It Go (X Factor Performance) [Louisa]

#110 One Last Time (X Factor Performance) [Lauren]

#115 I'll be There (X Factor Performance) [4th Impact]

#118 Try a Little Tenderness (X Factor Performance) [Che]

#122 Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) / Azonto (X Factor Performance) [R&B]

#153 Fancy / Rich Girl (X Factor Second Performance) [4th Impact]

#177 Hello (X Factor First Performance) [Che]

#202 Dynamite (X Factor Second Performance) [R&B]

I really hope 4I can survive another week. They may not have had the same wow moments as some of the others, but they're far more talented than R&B for example. I'm fully expecting a 4I/Che bottom 2, but I'd be fully on board with a Che/R&B bottom two. I know people are predicting 4I in the bottom but we really don't know how popular they are. All we know is that 4/5 of the remaining have never been bottom 2.

The show needs Louisa to win. Do we really need another bland singer winning the competition. As good a voice as Lauren has, she will release a covers album at Mother's Day and have no longevity.

I won't be surprised if Lauren gets the most votes this week.

 

I hope that Simon's (and not just his) ridiculous comments about Reggie n' Bollie have actually put some people off voting for them, and that they are in the bottom two over 4th Impact, who I honestly think could be safe.

I think R&B could be bottom 2, I mean realistically it'll be Che or the groups. Lauren is the highest on iTunes (and is high most weeks) and obviously Louisa is really popular. I highly doubt R&B would go though, with Cheryl and Simon on their side it'll most likely go to deadlock no matter who they end up against. Apart from Louisa who won't be bottom 2, Simon would save them against anyone.....

 

Also my mum was watching this this morning as she missed it and I missed this the first time but omg at Rita's "you made up your own melody" to Che :lol:

Louisa and Che will be bottom 2 hopefully !

I'm hoping for an RnB / Ché bottom 2. Much as I like RnB it would be ridic if they went in the final over the really good singers in Lauren / Louisa / 4th Impakt

 

and if I had my way Ché would leave tonight but I doubt that will happen.

The combined Facebook likes for both performances have 4th Impact first by quite a mile, RnB 2nd, Louisa 3rd and Che & Lauren as the bottom 2 in that order (her second performance is doing really badly somehow :(). I don't think this is an indicator, but they have been very accurate in predicting the bottom 2 this year (they had last weeks spot on and all the acts that had been in the bottom 2 prior had low Facebook likes for their performances that week), PERHAPS 4th Impact could be a bit more popular than we're all thinking (which has the producers scared no doubt!)

 

I reckon Che and 4th Impact as a bottom 2 seems most likely, but it wouldn't surprise me if Lauren replaced the latter. Idk it's really tough to call.

This is why every year I wish they'd return to fewest votes out from when they are five left instead of having sing-offs until the final. It irritates the hell out of me.

 

Anyway, I'm really hoping Reggie 'n' Bollie are out tonight, I won't be happy if anyone else goes.

Both of 4th Impact's performances completely wowed me. I sort of forgot about them a bit last week, but they've proven they are the global superstars of the competition. All my votes to them, but I do think they'll be in danger.

 

The staging for Fancy/Rich Girl was amazing, completely disagree with Rita :o They have to win!

But 4I international fanbase can "like" the Facebook posts. I'm not sure on the whole voting anymore, but if they have fixed it and only the UK get to vote, those likes will mean nothing.

I think the bottom two tonight is pretty hard to predict, but if we are to trust likes on social media, it is looking likely to be a Lauren & Che bottom two.

 

YouTube Likes (combining likes from the two performances):

 

1. 4th Impact - 34,573

2. Louisa Johnson - 12,259

3. Reggie N' Bollie - 7,655

4. Lauren Murray - 7,502

5. Che Chesterman - 6,712

 

 

Facebook Likes (combining likes from the two performances):

 

1. 4th Impact - 5,355

2. Reggie N' Bollie - 2,495

3. Louisa Johnson - 2,017

4. Che Chesterman - 1,580

5. Lauren Murray - 1,548

 

 

Obviously 4th Impact's likes will be massively conflated with all these asian fans, but I still think they should be fine and Louisa and 4th Impact will constitute the top 2. I have found that YouTube likes are normally a little more telling of the bottom two than the FB likes are, so I am really hoping that R&B are an outside chance of bottom two. Surely they are much more popular with the social media generation than any other generation? And if they are such a small amount ahead of Lauren, they could in theory replace her in the bottom? FB obviously tells another story though. Please god.
