October 26, 20195 yr 04 Kevin McHale He just doesn't have the right voice for that song. Idk what he has the right voice for, he's just not good enough on his own. Put it this way, there's a reason he got so few solos on Glee! 02 Ricki Lake Love her, I like that she is just having a go and enjoying whatever she can out of it... But this song was not it for her. It's one of those songs that you don't necessarily need a Whitney voice for, but there's nowhere to hide and you have to hit it, and her voice just wasn't enough for it. She seemed to connect to it and gave it a go but it just wasn't there. 08.5 No Love Lost The song is an absolute BANGER *.* Seriously, like it's better than most of the releases from this New Music Friday!! Zara's vocals really need work though, I feel like it'd be better as a duo of Wes and Samira where they do 2010 rap-sung bangers for nostalgia. I think they probably the most commercial potential, the flaws they do have can easily be worked on. 08.5 Jenny Ryan I get that her voice isn't for everyone, but I love her power and passion and it was perfect for this song. I feel like Nicole over gave her the seat tbc she knew she messed up not putting her through in the first place though :lol: 04.5 Jonny Labey Just not a fan of his style at all. Nobody needed a swing version of Show Me Love! I'd rather he just stuck to the same old cliche "classics" tbh, or better take a risk. It's gonna be boring if he keeps doing lifeless swing arrangements of songs that were fine in the first place. 07 V5 I don't think they really needed the Bad Guy part, but the Taki Taki part was FIRE. They have such potential but it could easily up as a Pussycat Dolls situation with the afro one taking over. 01 Martin Bashir That was.... well it happened. It was like a bad audition, let alone a bad live show performance! Absolute joke that he was saved by the judges after that. 06.5 Max & Harvey Not sure it was the right song but I like them a lot more than I expected! They have fun and show their personality but I like their voices too, they don't sacrifice that part of it. 05 Olivia Olson Definitely not the best song choice, it was quite karaoke and didn't show her at her best, unfortunately. I can see why she was in the bottom for that, but her going over Martin..... 00 Vinnie Jones Honestly, this is in contention for one of the worst things I've heard EVER on this show. I barely have the words, like what the flying f*** was that?? I mean fair enough if he just wanted to have a go and was shit, but christ the judges hyping it up?! Simon wants to find a star and take it seriously but says this could win... Just absolutely laughable. 09 Megan McKenna Stunning, you can tell the songs come from her heart and in terms of connecting and telling the story she was the best tonight. My only worry is if all her songs are similar like this and Everything But You she's gonna lose hype. 10 Victoria Ekanoye Flawless, I genuinely can't think of anything bad to say! She has the best vocal of anyone in the show, and she nailed this song. She made it her own just enough to stand out, but stuck to it as such a classic song you shouldn't tinker with too much. 05.5 Try Star Not terrible, and I wasn't mad at the visuals to be fair x But it was very predictable, are they really going to rely on their sex appeal for every song? :lol:
October 26, 20195 yr Nah. I doubt that'll mean too much in todays climate. I feel like she'll consistently be the highest on iTunes (she did get the 1 & 2 spots simultaneously when she released her first two singles) but I'm def expecting/predicting her to be the huge shock elimination and come 5th or 6th or something. :( She has some brilliant upbeat songs on her album, so hopefully she'll pull out a couple of those ones (potentially a new one too).
October 27, 20195 yr I think Megan will come 2nd or third. I’d say Jonny has won this though. Having said that with regular X Factor it was a curse to win and many of the best performing acts post show didn’t win. Little Mix and Leona and James are probably exceptions but many times the runner up out did the winner. I’d still imagine Megan has the best shot of doing something post show and it being remotely successful.
October 27, 20195 yr Her odds to win are legit the most clear I’ve ever seen on X Factor! The second fav is 8/1!
October 27, 20195 yr Idk how it will go for Megan, she's one of those where I feel like I could see her being a shock exit in like 7th as much as I could see her winning. But with those odds, if she did crash out in 7th then it'd probably be THE biggest shock in a loooong time surely?
October 27, 20195 yr Has Simon lost his hearing, Martin cant sing. I also miss the x factor theme, really dont like the new one.
October 27, 20195 yr To win 5/4 Meghan McKenna 9/1 Try Star 9/1 Vinnie Jones 10/1 Max and Harvey 10/1 V5 10/1 Victoria Ekanoye 11/1 Jenny Ryan 12/1 Jonny Labey 28/1 Kevin McHale 33/1 No Love Lost 100/1 Martin Bashir
October 27, 20195 yr What's annoying me about Olivia going is that Martin is probably going to be bottom (and leave) next week, there wasn't much he could really change. Olivia still has loads of potential.
October 27, 20195 yr Simon really is out of touch. He literally put through imo his worse group in the safe seat when the other 3 groups were better and have more potential long term . And then of course the ridiculous choice in saving Martin over Olivia cause apparently more people want to see him he’s clearly not that popular if he’s in the bottom 3 the first week.
October 27, 20195 yr Jonny is gonna get the winners treatment. I agree. He got rave reviews of an incredibly average-poor performance last night and was instantly given a seat. I assume to really avoid him being eliminated. But thats how the judges should play the game tbh. Put their strongest contestant in that chair, who they know will struggle in the votes. (I.e. it's pointless putting Megan in the chair for example - only do it if they know she's in danger/messed up on her performance or whatever) that's why I was hoping Max & Harvey got the groups chair coz I feel they (although 100% safe overall) were the most at risk of the groups after last nights performances.
October 27, 20195 yr Author I've successfully avoided seeing any of this thus far but even just on people's reportings of it here it sounds like a molten puddle of butter, let alone a hot mess. To think it was unmissable telly 10 years ago, too. I get the sense this will be the last year it is on, but ITV have got a mountain to climb and then some to find a viable replacement to rival Strictly (although that show itself is on a slide with ratings much like say, X Factor c. 2012/2013).
October 27, 20195 yr Simon really is out of touch. He literally put through imo his worse group in the safe seat when the other 3 groups were better and have more potential long term . And then of course the ridiculous choice in saving Martin over Olivia cause apparently more people want to see him he’s clearly not that popular if he’s in the bottom 3 the first week. Really didnt get any of his decisions and feedback. Jonny was ok at best but ud think he done something spectacular. It's a skip through show now as i dont think I could watch in full, I loved the show years ago but Simon will spend a fortune on judges, sets etc but won't invest in winners, I think if they put more effort into the winners years ago the show wouldn't be struggling as much.
October 27, 20195 yr To win 5/4 Meghan McKenna 9/1 Try Star 9/1 Vinnie Jones 10/1 Max and Harvey 10/1 V5 10/1 Victoria Ekanoye 11/1 Jenny Ryan 12/1 Jonny Labey 28/1 Kevin McHale 33/1 No Love Lost 100/1 Martin Bashir Quite surprised how low No Love Lost are in the odds ? there the 2nd highest song behind Megan on iTunes with there song in currently in the top 30 and there performance was one of the most viewed/liked on Youtube . Also coming from Love Island they obviously will have some sort of fan base there already . They will last quite a while I reckon .

October 27, 20195 yr After a promising first episode, the show is fast descending into every clique / bad thing about 'regular' X Factor but on a much worse scale given the lack of talent (aside from like Megan and Victoria)...
October 27, 20195 yr Simon really is out of touch. He literally put through imo his worse group in the safe seat when the other 3 groups were better and have more potential long term . And then of course the ridiculous choice in saving Martin over Olivia cause apparently more people want to see him he’s clearly not that popular if he’s in the bottom 3 the first week. Agreed. Instead of making the right decision, he’s so obsessed with doing what he thinks the public want to see, but as you said he is completely out of touch. I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought he needed to give Try Star a safe seat because of the England rugby win. There’s always a hidden agenda.
October 28, 20195 yr Olivia's reaction was a bit OTT, was it not? Girl must've really bought her own hype :lol:
