I'll be surprised if anybody votes for them actually...hmm.

A clear winner tonight in Matt, again, but I think potentially any of: Freddie, Relley, Ryan, Saara could be bottom.

My bottom3 prediction:

 

Saara, 4 of Diamonds and Freddie (or Relley C).

Freddie will be saved again by the phone vote and the judges will save 4 of Diamonds. -_-

Unfortunately I see the girls at the bottom of the pile after that performance, hopefully I'm wrong as I think Saara and Ryan were worse.

It really should be Emily bottom but it will never happen and I have no idea why. Can someone who likes her try and sell her to me, because I don't get it at all.

 

I predict Saara, Ryan and Freddy bottom with Ryan being saved and Saara going.

4 of Diamonds weren't great. I think being last on might help them out this week but I can't see them lasting more than a couple of weeks based on tonight.

01 Honey G - Mo Money Mo Problems / 9/10

02 5 After Midnight - Get Ready/Reach Out (I'll Be There) / 9/10

03 Gifty Louise - Rockin' Robin / 8/10

04 Saara Aalto - River Deep, Mountain High / 7.5/10

05 Matt Terry - I Heard It Through The Grapevine / 7.5/10

06 Relley C - Ain't No Sunshine / 7/10

07 Freddy Parker - Ain't No Mountain High Enough / 6.5/10

08 4 Of Diamonds - You Keep Me Hangin On / 6/10

09 Sam Lavery - Hello / 6/10

10 Ryan Lawrie - Superstition / 5.5/10

11 Emily Middlemas - Stop (In The Name Of Love) / 5/10

It can be anyone of these 4 going tomorrow, Ryan, Freddie, Saara and 4oD, I'm leaning towards Saara more than any thing.

Saara leaving tomorrow is the most obvious choice in years. Let's be smart and put some money on her in some next elimination odds. :angel:

I predict Saara, Ryan and Freddy bottom with Ryan being saved and Saara going.

This is what I'm feeling, with a chance of Relley bottom 3 also.

 

Just hoping that Emily is losing her appeal and Ryan can nab some of her Scottish votes :lol:

it was all tragic but special shout out to ryan for extra tragic

4 Of Diamonds were absolutely shit :lol: Sound almost as bad as 'Sucker For Pain' sounds

Best performances tonight were from Relley, 5 After Midnight, Gifty and Saara. Four of Diamonds were SO underwhelming, very flat and incomparable to the identically staged/performed version Little Mix did and that was received negatively at the time. If they weren't riding this comeback hype they'd be bottom 2 and out, but they will survive this week (before being out next week if this is all they are capable of).

 

I warmed to Honey G last week, but now I'm hating her more than ever. She basically performed the same song for the second week in a row, the only changed element (the motown sample) was barely noticeable at times via the backing track. People used to get up in arms when contestants repeated songs for the sing-off performances, but because Honey G does it (in the live shows consecutively!!) everyone gives her a free pass? I was going with the flow last week, but everything about Honey G - X Factor's constant pushing of her, viewers making out she's the best thing ever, her singing the same song twice in a row - is dire. I'd rather have Bratavio back if she's going to sing the same song every week.

 

Bottom 3 will be out of Freddy, Relley, Ryan and Saara with a very outside chance of Gifty or Sam. Gifty getting another late slot makes me think she struggled in the vote last week and could be susceptible to Freddy and/or Saara getting a bigger sympathy bounce than expected. Sam gave me flashbacks to Lucie Jones when judges decided she would fit the "rock" genre well, and was swiftly removed at this point in favour of Jedward. Talking of which, Sam is a very difficult one. She can sing, but her tone is very harsh (?) it isn't very melodic, and quite monotonous and I agree that she would suit rock songs much more - Evanescence's Bring Me To Life would be perfect.

 

At this stage I think Ryan's regional vote will still be enough so I'll go with Freddy, Relley and Saara with Freddy again getting the lifeline save (this vote is going to annoy me A LOT if it just saves the pretty boys or acts with strong regional votes every week). Relley will then be kept in favour of Saara due to viewers not warming to her - Louis sowed this seed tonight. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure Saara will poll above Freddy - and I think she did so last week as well but the lifeline vote ruins her.

No way will Relley be bottom three. If anyone has a chance of replacing Saara, Freddie or Ryan it would be Gifty I would imagine.

 

Anyway he's my rating of tonight's performances:

 

9.0 - Relley C

8.0 - 5 After Midnight

7.5 - Matt Terry

6.5 - Freddie Parker

6.0 - Honey G

6.0 - Emily Middlemas

6.0 - Four Of Diamonds

5.0 - Gifty Louise

5.0 - Samantha Lavery

4.0 - Saara Altoo

2.0 - Ryan Lawrie

 

Matt was on point tonight, he is sexy, hunky and has a great voice.

 

I think Louis was a bit harsh saying "they don't like you" to Saara, yes, she was in the sing-off but he sounded a little harsh.

 

I want Ryan or one of the girls to leave (except Gifty because she is fabulous)

I'm loving Relley, Saara and Gifty. Four of Diamonds gave a really good first performance but they still need work, 5AM are pretty good and are growing on me. I rather like Sam but she needs a lot of work still. Ryan, Emily and Freddy are all average/boring to me. Matt I find really overrated and the high 'notes' he keeps over using is getting on my nerves. Honey G is just shit I don't even find her funny or entertaining and already the 'I say honey you say G' routine is getting boring !

Really worried for 4oD, they could finish off in the bottom 2, not connecting with the public considering they have just recently been added to the lives, and a poor performance and they looked pretty nervous on stage, hopefully the judges will save them, ideally Saara or Ryan are in the bottom with them, as I don't think they will survive the judges vote.

 

 

Well it wouldn't be like thr Great British Public to act based on latent xenophobia now would it

 

After Brexit and the racist Little England fever no foreign act is doing anything.

9/10

01 Relley (Her voice is just so captivating, I knew she'd be great for Motown! I think she "made it her own" sufficiently without losing the song too much and had a perfect balance of showing off all of her voice without shouting or over singing. I think she's lucky that she had the sort of song where there's a bit of room to do that but that was the best for me this week, just about)

02 Matt (There is no way he isn't winning this :lol: He's the sort of male singer I actually like on X Factor, he has a strong voice, falsetto, control, and of course is sexy af :kink: I can't really fault that at all, this feels like potentially the biggest XF one horse race since Matt Cardle. Maybe I'm optimistically underrating 5am but he is such a textbook X Factor winner and I definitely wouldn't object.

 

7/10

03 Gifty (I thought for what's a bit of a silly song to sing on X Factor she did about the best she could. I love her attitude and she performed the hell out of it but she deserved a better song and less childish, garish staging. That's not to say it's not a good song it's just not her, it's also not really something I'd give anyone on X Factor to sing competitively to get through to the next week but I think she'll be fine.)

 

6.5/10

04 4 Of Diamonds (Vocally solid, but the performance was SO awkward. They didn't seem to gel together, at times some of them were dancing like me at pres awkwardly in the corner before I've had enough alcohol to dance properly... For me that really marred the whole thing, they feel unpolished. Maybe give them a couple more weeks to perform and practice but I'm not sure they'll last that long :lol:)

 

05 Sam (much better than last week but I think unlike Relley it didn't feel controlled. At points it was shouty, maybe just a bit of a wrong song choice. It's going to get boring if every week she comes out and shouts through a song that supposed to be much softer.)

 

06 Saara (Basically an exercise in how to be week 2 fodder on X Factor. Sharon has sent her up shit creek without a paddle with such a generic Motown song... As great as it is, you can't do much with it other than a straight karaoke copy and that's what it felt like. It was actually very much like what the overs used to be, belting out a karaoke cover of a dated song which is a shame because she's much more than that. I'd have liked to have seen her do a softer song and show the public she doesn't "just shout".)

 

6/10

07 Honey G (yep getting a bit bored already. I still find her better to watch on what is an entertainment show than those below her but she can't come out every week with "when I say Honey you say G", and I'm gonna begin to get more annoyed when the likes of Relley and Gifty fall into the bottom 2 and she sails through.)

 

4/10

08 5 After Midnight (controversial perhaps but I hate their vocals. They remind me of a less shit Rough Copy. If RC are the Lidl JLS, 5am are like... the Tesco JLS)

09 Freddie (similar to Saara really, it was very karaoke and bland but I like his voice less than hers. And his faces while singing were so off putting :lol:)

 

3/10

10 Ryan (nbf but if he was 10 years older and worse looking I'm sure he wouldn't get away with that :lol: He feels so lifeless and his voice was far too weak for the song.)

 

2/10

11 Emily (I'm probably gonna say the same every week but good lord she is SO lifeless. I have no idea how she's got this far and will probably come like 3rd, she has hardly any vocal range, no stage presence... Honestly she feels like they've just plucked any old girl from a secondary school "talent" show and dumped her on the live stage to sing a lifeless ballad version of a song.)

 

A fairly low standard this week :/

 

I'd guess at Saara being a cert for the bottom 3, but Ryan and Freddie are also in danger I feel. I don't think it will be that simple, I'm worried Gifty will slip into the bottom. I'd say 4OD as well but I think being on last and the hype of entering just this week will keep them afloat.
