4x Lemonade

1x Talia

 

Talia/Lemonade/Georgina/Leon are all by far my faves of each category in the wildcard selection!

Finally back on my laptop so can type a decent commentary on the events of the weekend! :cheer:

 

Overs:

 

I can't believe Kevin and TracyLeanne are through over Talia and Berget :drama: I do agree with her judgements on Slavko - definitely not strong enough and doesn't have the complete package of performer and vocalist. As far as guest judges go, Stormzy was such a desparate choice! :drama:

 

My three based on judges house would have been:

 

1. Talia

2. Matt

3. Berget (as the rest were pretty snooze and shes vocally MUCH better and did power through which is majorly needed in contestants imo)

 

Girls:

 

Rai-Elle completely surprised me and based on her performane last night I'd definitely have put her through. That rap was pretty decent as well! I definitely did not rate the tear tantrums from Deanna or Grace, the latter of which just frustrated me with her crying fest :drama: Georgina wasn't strong enough last night which was disappointing as well. I'm a little bit disappointed Alisah didn't get through but she was up against Grace and the tears/Sharon pausing the performance brigade for added drama! :lol:

 

My three based on judges house would have been:

1. Holly

2. Rai-Elle (easily the stand out of the category after the performance)

3. Alisah

 

Groups:

 

Am I missing the whole point of Cheryl being a guest judge in that shes been on the show and is 1/5 of one of the best girl groups to come out of the UK???? Why push the solo agenda in her VT and completely ignore why shes a co-judge for the GROUPS. Minor thing aside, I did not rate the Cutkelvin's and did feel as if Simon was pushing Cabello presence a bit by changing their song. CRINGE at New Girlband or whatever they are called saying they're like sisters - please, you've been together for half a round and hardly know eachother in comparison to groups like RakSu or Cutkelvins :drama: I am finding the one with the red hat pretty annoying though! Jack and Joel were a total surprise for me and actualy really loved it :o RakSu are a poor mans JLS, just more annoying. Their original sounded SO much like Not Letting Go by Tinie Tempah and Jess Glynne, hardly original imo. I really don't see the appeal of Sean and Connor either, butchering a current hit but a Pink hit too :cry:

 

My three based on judges houses would have been:

 

1. Lemonade

2. Jack and Joel

3. The Cutkelvins

 

Boys:

 

Firstly the whole Sam Black thing is just ridiculous - you can't be that surprised to be bought back with that amount of camera people in ya living room :lol: Mika is another Stormzy in terms of guest judges. Aidan is a total snoozefest and haven't warmed to any of his performances.

 

My three based on judges houses would have been:

 

1. Leon (really liking him and with Lloyd is the standout, imo)

2. Spencer

3. Lloyd (very much like Alisah I could see him struggling further down the line)

Lloyd is by far the best boy and I kinda find him cute af?? He's still nothing special though, he's too musical theatre/adult contemporary for me, like he SCREAMS cover album for mothers day.

 

Oh my gosh yes I've totally been digging that this episode! I loved his audition and hes got something likable about him and the charts definitely need a stronger male voice instead of Ed Sheeran or Olly Murs stuff!

0/3 of my boys through oops, no chance of winning from any of them :lol:

 

My wildcard votes:

2x Deanna

2x Aidan

1x Jack & Joel

Lloyd is Alisah. Alisah is Lloyd. Both are far more suited to musical theatre, and it would be ridiculous if he got anywhere near winning.

 

Spencer's really the only boy that got through I'm liking. The groups have turned out to be very strong in the end, although personally I'd have put Jack and Joel through over Rak-Su.

Grace SO reminds me of Anne-Marie, looks and personality wise?

i thought i was the only one!! she has the same sassy-ish soft pop voice too

(also rest assured I shall be voting MULTIPLE times for Slavko x)

5x baguette

I can't see anyone other than Talia being the overs wildcard, the girls will probably be Alisa and the boys Jack, I have no idea for the groups, I could feasibly see it being any of the 3.

WILDCARD PREDICTIONS

 

BOYS: Want - Leon, Think - Leon

GIRLS: Want - Georgina, Think - Alisha

OVERS: Want - Talia, Think - Slavko

GROUPS: Want - Lemonade, Think - Lemonade

WINNER PREDICTION (I know it's early but whatever :lol:)

 

Sean and Connor, basically echoing what Liam said -

 

I've got a horrible feeling Sean and Connor Price could win :drama: I want to say Rai-Elle will be the one who'll emerge in the lives and snatch from Grace but they're white, mediocre and young singing bland Ed Sheeran esque songs.

 

They'll also get the FacebookMum vote.

 

I thought Grace had it in the bag but if she keeps on with the tears, it's gonna get real annoying real quickly :mellow:

My wildcard votes -

 

2x Leon

1x Lemonade

1x Georgina

1x Talia

Matt is my other prediction for Britain getting it terribly wrong and voting with what's in their pants rather than what's in their head :lol: Hopefully that was just a hiccup for Grace and now she knows she is in the lives she can give it hr all but I feel like she's one of those who'll cry and go OTT when she has the one inevitable "that was good but not as good as your other performances" moments in week 3 or sth :drama:

The official website has revealed that there is no sing off this series :o I'm kind of glad because I was sick of the amount of faux tension you got just for there to be deadlock most weeks, and times when they didn't seem to care about the singoff like Four Of Diamonds surviving numerous times despite always being shite, but I guess it makes sense as there isn't a dedicated results show so they'll probably get it done quicker each week. If they still had the separate Sunday show, I think it would be really empty. It's gonna feel so different as a show though, I quite like the event of having a whole results show on the Sunday.

 

The official website says that two categories will perform each night, and th results will be based solely on the public vote , but the eliminees "may be either the act with the lowest number of votes across both categories that performed or the act with the lowest number of votes from each category that performed". I hope this means that it's just the lowest two regardless, so say the bottom 2 of the vote was Kevin and Tracey-Leanne, they'd both go rather than say Kevin being bottom and Lloyd 3rd bottom but Lloyd goes because Tracey is also an over. If they mean it chops and changes that feels like a fix, I think the fairest way is just the two with the lowest votes are eliminated regardless otherwise it undermines the votes really. If they pair overs and girls though Nicole might be out of acts all too soon :lol:

 

 

Additionally there will also be a new vote for the best performer of the weekend (presumably a side thing on the app), which will incur a prize for the winner.

Matt and the two kids should really be the first two out. Oh and Spencer.

What a terrible set of live finalists. Possibly the worst ever?

Yup, easily the worst

 

Rak-Su have got to be the most obnoxious things to ever grace reality TV, even worse than Jedward. I just can't.

Think the Filipino lass, Alisha will get it in the girls but I'd prefer Georgina.

I don't think it's the worst lineup by a long mile. Rai-Elle,Holly,Grace,Lloyd, Spencer, Kevin and Matt may not be everyones cup of tea but theyre definitely talented, and there's no obvious novelty act which is good.

 

Series 10 and 4 were far worse.

There IS going to be a sing off this year, but it's of the TOP 2, and the judges decide who wins a prize... (that's the prize vote I mentioned) Wtf is the point, that kinda gives away who'll win.

 

Also yeah this isn't quite the absolute worst, the girls catgory is perfect and I like Cutkelvins and I suppose Lloyd, plus the wildcards will likely boost the line-up a bit more. 2007 only really had Alisha and Niki who I liked, then 2013 only really had Hannah, Tamera and I guess Sam. 2012 wasn't great either, I stopped watching after Ella went because the top 5 was HORRENDOUS, but the actual line up of the final wasn't THAT bad, we had her, Lucy, Jade, Melanie, Kye and Carolynne who were quite good, the wrong people just went too early.
