September 24, 20168 yr Oh my god the boys category is so WEAK :unsure: feel offended that they sent Ryan Lawrie home last week for most of these people :lol:
September 24, 20168 yr you can't ruin what was shit in the first place This. It id absolute garbage dirge.
September 25, 20168 yr Author I was at the boys 6 chair challenge and this is what I posted in the spoilers thread: So I was at the evening session yesterday which was Nicole and the Boys, we were running around 3-4 hours behind schedule so finished at 12.30am, and the remaining 4 boys were carried over to today! :') When the session ended there were only 5 in chairs, Nicole was being very ruthless! She made a couple of mistakes for me (mainly a 16 year old who sang a very obscure rock song called 'Cuddly Toy' and also the guy that sang 'Lush Life' who had a quirky tone but then sang an original song too which sealed his fate in a bad way) but I definitely didn't see a winner. Can't remember all the song choices but the ones that excited me (and will therefore be most exciting to you I guess) were: Zara Larsson - Lush Life Calum Scott - Dancing On My Own Johnny Cash/Leona Lewis - Hurt (he specified which version but I didn't hear what he said) Nicole Scherzinger - Run When the guy who sung Run said he was doing so, Nicole commented "Wow, I didn't know anyone knew that one"! :heehee: For me it was the standout performance, and the crowd gave one of their biggest reactions to it as well - the arena was very quiet during the performance so I thought the "unknown" song was going to make it not go down very well but there was an eruption of applause at the end. I can't see the guy going through to the live shows as he didn't quite have that something, but he was the strongest one for me and was one of the 5 on a chair at the end of the session. Simon also made a joke about Lewis Hamilton at this point with the subject of 'Run' :kink: Nicole had an obsession with getting 80% of the boys to sing 30 seconds of another song a capella which only ended up working in the favour of one or two! Don't know if other judges have been doing this too. Regarding the bit in bold, the 16 year old unfortunately didn't get any airtime except speaking in one of those backstage reaction clips. The other guy turned out to be Will Rush, I didn't click that it was him as he had a hat on at 6 chairs. They completely cut his very decent version of Lush Life in tonight's show and went straight to showing his second chance song which was that quite awful original. After Mike got chair 1, Nicole said no to about 6 in a row which were all cut except for Will - and nearly every single boy I saw got a second chance to sing "30 seconds acapella", most of which was cut as well. Only the first 5 seats were filled by the time the day of filming ended, the rest of the boys filming took place the next day so that was all cleverly edited. Out of what was shown the right decisions were made, but as I said in the post above, she did make a couple of mistakes from what we saw live. In the girls, Emily has cemented herself as my favourite - absolutely perfect for my tastes! :wub: Looking forward to seeing Eurovision star Saara Aalto tomorrow :cheer:
September 25, 20168 yr Obsessed with Christian, he's going from James Arthurs twin to Professor Green to Raleigh Ritchie in the space of one performance. I really hope he wins.
September 25, 20168 yr I think Nicole let all the right guys through looking at the 17/18 that made it from Boot Camp. However Simon was a bit hit and miss if you ask me Gifty, the blonde girl with the cap and the girl with the guitar were the only memorable ones... shame because the other 3 which should of gone onto Judges Houses out of that category each had a seat at one point.
September 25, 20168 yr The boys category is so bad. Sexton is the only one with a voice I can potentially enjoy listening to - if he gets through he seems like he could be one to have a massive moment in the lives. I really despise Matt Terry and his smarmy aura. That whole fiasco of making him sing again and get more airtime was so eye-roll worthy. I only care about one person out of the boys AND girls and that's Gifty. Just here for Sada Vidoo from the overs now so if she's out (which let's face it, she probably will be because many will not "get" her), i'm really losing any interest I have in the contestants. :(
September 25, 20168 yr Just watched Sada's audition and she's quite amazing, isn't she? What a breath of fresh air among these bland clichés that nearly always dominate the categories. The thing that bothered me was the judges being so... erm... judgey about the way she looked before she event started. But then again I always knew Simon was an unbearable c**t so I'm not really surprised.
September 25, 20168 yr Yeah it made me feel quite uncomfortable. She's quite clearly sure of herself and who she is as an artist but as always they just grin and laugh at anyone that isn't textbook "popstar" material looks wise. She's a real stunner with a beautiful voice (and clearly a star going on her original material floating around on youtube) so EVERYTHING CROSSED this evening :'((
September 25, 20168 yr Just caught up now and I have to say, THAT WAS SO PREDICTABLE. When there were two girls left, and there just happened to be two girls in seats who we hadn't seen before this stage...I wonder what could happen here? Also, when Nicole made two of the most popular boys sing against this other, well obviously she wasn't going to send either of them home. Especially when that foreign guy they spent less than a minute on was still in a chair.
September 25, 20168 yr I reckon the teacher, the model and James will get dumped along the way, if they do get through, I can't see them getting any further after the Judges house.
