:rofl: I can't remember them by names, but I was touched by that woman in the wheel chair :wub:

She was good but I don't like how everyone's going on the show and listing their illnesses/problems before they sing.

 

It feels a bit cheap to me.

Yep I agree, she had an amazing voice though, that's what I liked. I hate it when they do sob stories :(

Yes. And sometimes so sloppily.

 

"What an unusual song"

"Oh it's my mum's song. We played it at her funeral. She's dead. My mother's dead! Put me through!"

 

I've had a rubbish night. I should have gone to bed straight after The X Factor and that would have been much better.

Night old bean.

:rofl:!

 

 

 

And ok Tim, goodnight, and good morning :o

Oh DEAR at that performance of When You Believe. :arrr:

Other Mariah mentions during the audition stages:

 

- One girl said she loved rock music. Sharon looked enthused and asked what song she was going. This girl said 'Mariah Carey - 'Hero". Sharon was less enthused,

- Paris (that 14 year-old opera singer) was praised because every other 16 year-old girl comes and sings 'Hero'

I remember the second one. :P

I remember the second one. :P

Were they week 2? There's a gap there.

I think week 3. :unsure:

Oh well we'll put them under 'misc.'

They were on the show in some capacity that's enough! :lol:

I want someone to sing Emotions, someone did on Malaysian idol and she did the whistle notes :arr:

'Emotions' would be amazing audition if you could do it. I doubt ANYONE who auditioned for the UK edition can borrow from the whistle register.

The INSANE woman that sang When You Believe though. :arrr:

Boot Camp 1:

 

Nothing. Just a background play of 'Hero'.

Though her 'Against All Odds' collaborator Kian was there being the glamorous face of comfort eating.

2nd Episode: 2 people sang hero so far, one was really good, 2nd was quite bad...

Rudy has not made the final 8 which is a shame as I quite fancy him.

I now fancy at least one of the boyband Avenue. Hoorah!

 

Anyway the recap....

Bootcamp week:

 

Simon's group

 

- A black girl with gorgeous hair did a great cover of 'Hero'. Her audition was excellent so this was not that surprising but it's rare to see someone, especially on this show, do a good 'Hero'

- A white girl did a $h!t version

- A lighter-skinned girl (the one with the dead mother) did on okay at best cover.

 

Tonight's X-Factor taught us all not to be racist as clearly the blacker you are the better your version of Hero will be

 

PS They all got through. Obviously doing a cover of 'Hero' impresses the masterminds behind Zig&Zag and 'So Macho'
