That was alright, they sounded slightly better this week but they have ao much work to do to actually be GOOD. They'll probably be safe, but they shouldn't be.

4 of Keys. When singing solo they were awful. Luckily the backing vocals were there for the majority of it.

4 of Soothers: Still something missing, another safe performance.

The harmonies really let them down, and that's what I want from a girl group. That was fairly good but they just aren't all that really. They have so far to go and need a lot more mentoring than they'll get from Louis who doesn't seem to even want them there.

 

"We got a girl group where everybody sings" Louis babe have you not heard of Little Mix...

Well Emily's performance was definitely something different from the other generic stuff

Oh wow Emily did that song a lot better than I thought she would. That really could be the performance that makes her a big winning contender.

Well they certainly couldn't have tried any harder to make thar a moment for her

Excellent performance from Emily! By far her best of the lives so far. Vocals not perfect the whole way through but generally really impressed.

Well... that was different, probably the best performance of the night and the staging was really good. Blown away

Whilst the judges are getting carried away as usual, that was a decent performance from Emily and it was her best so far I thought.

I mean it was good and different but I didn't enjoy it much. That's mostly down to disliking her voice though.

Guessing the bottom 3 will be between Ryan, 4 of Diamonds and Saara.

 

Saara flash vote

bottom 2: Ryan & 4oD

Go home: Ryan

Oh ffs that was SO good. I cannot deny that. It was the perfect song in the end despite my worries, because it's already a bit depressing :lol: You can tell that she had more of a hand in that performance, it suited her much more and she seemed more comfortable. Best of the night for me, they definitely succeeded in pushing her to have a moment, she's gone from not even tolerable to highlight of the show! Simon really seems to go OTT on her though, it wasn't quite "career defining" :lol:

Not sure who the bottom three will be as it could be any of 4 of Diamonds, Saara, Ryan, Gifty or 5 After Midnight.

 

I'd guess one of the first two listed to go this week though.

The bottom 3 is definitely between 4OD, Gifty, Saara and Ryan this week I think. Ryan will win flash vote regardless of who he's up against, although I don't think he's as much of a dead cert for the bottom 3 this week as he has been the past 2 weeks so there's a chance he'll get lucky and avoid it (probably not though)

I'm definitely worried for Gifty, if there is a shock (ie not 4OD, Ryan or Saara) it will be her. Really it should be 4OD, they were absolutely atrocious and worse than even Ryan tonight :lol: I don't think any other than who I've mentioned will be in trouble, I fear a Gifty and Saara bottom 2 because Ryan will have flash vote and 4OD might get a rebound...

Sadly I don't even think Gifty would be too much of a shock at this point, she got the death slot and a song that no-one knows (seems it didn't quite click like Uptown Funk for Fleur) :( I feel her performance is slightly forgotten unfortunately!

I hope Gifty goes, i havnt enjoyed one performance from her yet but if she ends up bottom 2 i cant see the judges letting her go. Ryan i dont like either, ideally they will be the bottom two.

 

I really hope Saara stays as i always enjoy her performance and she is the one i look forward to coming on.

Emily was sensational, she's finally back at the standard she was pre-lives and potentially surpassing it. She reminded me of a Cher Lloyd/Janet Devlin hybrid tonight and that staging was incredible. She's joined the all-time iconic Halloween performances in my opinion which are of course Cher Lloyd's Stay, Only The Young's Monster Mash and Little Mix's E.T. That performance of Creep knocks Little Mix out of my all-time Fright Night top 3.

 

Saara was the best performer once again, although the song didn't give her the chance to show off her vocals and the backing track sounded cheap to me. You can be crazy without being novelty, but that performance leaned slightly towards novelty for me. However, it was still my second favourite performance of the night and she will be getting all of my votes as always of course as she is my favourite contestant. I would've liked to see Saara do Stay or Phantom of the Opera as I think she could've had a massive moment, or Wuthering Heights if that classes as a Halloween song - she has an incredible rendition of that song on one of her albums.

 

Four of Diamonds gave their best performance but it was still very average up until the key change, Ryan was very poor in the verses but decent in the chorus and a decent performance. Matt was good but predictable, Gifty was decent too. Sam actually probably sounded the best she has done so far, I like the little squeaks she's putting in some of her longer notes as it makes them sound less out of tune. 5AM were a bit bland and Honey G was dreadful as always.

 

Bottom 3 seems a fairly obvious Saara/Four of Diamonds/Ryan (in that order with Saara 7th in the vote), if anyone does escape then I agree that Gifty is falling in there with an unknown song and the only act in the Strictly overlap. Sam does just enough again to hover above the drop zone. Ryan will win the lifeline vote again (JUST GET RID OF IT!) and I think they will keep Saara over Four of Diamonds in such a scenario.
