SAARA WAS f***ING INCREDIBLE THAT IS ALL <3 <3 <3

 

The Winner Takes It All is possibly the best performance of the whole series.

Across every device in the house I have logged 55 votes for R SAARA this weekend *.*

I think the bottom 2 is going to be too difficult to predict..

------------

 

Very hard to predict this week. There's a poll on DS and the combination of Emily/ Honey G is well ahead.

 

Saara was brilliant and I just can't see her bottom two.

Even coming 4th (she won't go this week) would be brilliant for Saara! To think that week 1 we all loved her and didn't want to get too attached because she seemed like such an obvious first boot :lol: It's such a lovely journey to watch either way but she really really should win, she is completely in another league. Yes, Matt has a nice voice but Saara just has everything and she is just such a lovely woman too, you really root for her and want her to win.

 

There's something so perfect about her The Winner Takes It All performance, it was so controlled yet powerful and haunting, she is so effortlessly flawless <3

Having now watched all the performances, I actually liked Emily's version of Toxic a lot :lol: That's the sort of thing she feels better with, more at home. It wasn't brilliant but I think if she's gonna tweak songs, something twee like this is better than the John Lewis funeral versions she normally does.

 

Wasn't a fan of Matt's second song but his first was good. Not even to compare Alive with when Saara sang it, it just didn't have enough power or commitment to the song to make it blow up. 5am were of course dreadful and I feel like Honey G has had her time. Whilst I'd still prefer 5am to go obviously, I won't really be that mad at Honey G going. As iconic as the thought f her doing Black Beatles was it was so flat and lifeless, and then everything else was standard Honey G and I think we've seen enough of that now :lol:

Saara is down to 4/1 to win now, leap frogged 5am! This is too good to be true.

I'm gonna risk and say 5AM/Emily bottom 2

Bloody hell, just catching up and Saara's performance of The Winner Takes It All was spectacular, better than all of the guest performances this year, let alone all the contestant performances.

Saara is down to 4/1 to win now, leap frogged 5am! This is too good to be true.

 

I'm still not even remotely close to believing she could win, but if she does somehow make the final it will be a HUGE achievement.

'The Winner Takes It All' was STUNNING. I really hope people remember that performance when voting and not the trashy cheesy rubbish that followed (if she's responsible for all of these campy performances, she needs telling.)

Honey G doing Black Beetle? Did she even know the words to it? The visuals looked amazing, but dear me she muttered about 6 words!

To echo practically everyone else, Saara's 'The Winner Takes It All' was practically perfect. What a stunning vocal. Best performance by an absolute mile and it would be an utter travesty if she went tonight.

 

The turnaround for Saara has been incredible and I'm really hoping she has enough momentum to take her to the final now. There's a gulf between her and the others in terms of talent level, it's almost comical.

Even coming 4th (she won't go this week) would be brilliant for Saara! To think that week 1 we all loved her and didn't want to get too attached because she seemed like such an obvious first boot :lol: It's such a lovely journey to watch either way but she really really should win, she is completely in another league.

Absolutely all of this.

 

From being sent packing pre-Lives, to her offbeat personality and theatrics, to her blatant foreignness, she's always felt like an obvious sacrificial lamb who'd never be given the chance to connect with the public and fully realise her potential. It's so refreshing to see a deserving contestant overcome these obstacles every week and gradually and organically build a support base, let alone because she's so genuinely in love with performing and so grateful for the continued opportunity to do so. She's almost single-handedly kept my interest in the show since the Lives began, always delivering something thoughtfully crafted and inventive that shows off her vocal and/or performance talent. She's also just an utter sweetheart. To see her now being tipped as a winning contender is pretty incredible given where she started...and I can't help thinking it's especially remarkable to see a complete outsider prosper like this considering the landscape of intolerance that's defined 2016. The perfect underdog story. <3

 

*Saara gets unceremoniously eliminated*

 

:kink:

The thing with Saara is, I think to the general public, people realise that she is actually very good. I think it's refreshing to have someone with a great voice, who you can actually imagine being a popstar (e.g. not Sam Bailey). Normally a lot of X Factor success rides on there being fanbases, but I really like it when acts grow in the competition and people realise how good/different they are. Bit like James Arthur in 2012.

Honey G is defo going tonight:(

I hope Emily is in the bottom two with Honey G so that way, they will have to get rid of Honey G

Yeah, if I'd have said in week 1 that Saara was my favourite (she wasn't, I'm speaking hypothetically), both my mum & dad would probably have been a bit non plussed or looked at me gone out. My mum voted for her for the first time last week and my dad actually teared up at her 'The Winner Takes It All' performance last night and said she was in a league of her own. She's really captured the all important 'family' audience now.

It's difficult to see anyone other than Honey G leaving tonight, her live show performances were probably her worst to date and felt a bit stale. Maison D'and has thrown it's weight behind Saara now instead as she was amazing last night.

If I go by my theory that bottom 2 will be those whose odds are shortening most in the hours leading up to the results rather than the 2 with the actual shortest odds, it's looking like Honey and 5AM with an outside chance of Matt - Emily looks fairly safe using this methodology!

It's probably time Honey G went, though I'd really like if 5AM got eliminated instead
