December 2, 200618 yr What's with the so many commercial breaks :rolleyes: they need to fill up the hour and a half somehow <_< Ben- WOW :wub:
December 2, 200618 yr Very disappointed with this one :( I was expecting a George Michael type of performance but instead it was Songs Of Praise not X Factor
December 2, 200618 yr Ben's 2nd performance was fab- so original compared to Mcdoodles and Ray Edited December 2, 200618 yr by Azro
December 2, 200618 yr Were you listening to the same song as me ? :unsure: He sang it so camply, complete different range to Sinatra it was like Julian Clary trying to sing Nessum Dorma That sums it up brilliantly. That is why I liked it, because if he tried to sing it like Frank Sinatra, it would have been awful. He sung it like Ray & put his heart & soul into it, which made it a great performance IMHO.
December 2, 200618 yr Ben - Somebody To Love: I was expecting a (second rate) Paul Rodgers led Queen performance, but it was nothing like it. That gospel arrangement, perfectly offset Ben's vocals brilliantly. He has frustrated me until this week. But this week he has been brilliant. 9/10
December 2, 200618 yr That sums it up brilliantly. That is why I liked it, because if he tried to sing it like Frank Sinatra, it would have been awful. He sung it like Ray & put his heart & soul into it, which made it a great performance IMHO. Don't get me wrong Ben was vocally awesome tonight but the majority of voters are teens and pre teens who would likely remember George Michael's version so will compare it with that and go "Wtf ?"
December 2, 200618 yr Excellent Mariah karaoke performance by Leona so true. Leona has a brilliant voice, but she nearly always does the same thing- its boring!
December 2, 200618 yr Author Clap hands with joy, that was her best performance to date, she cracked it.
December 2, 200618 yr My ratings tonight: McDonald Brothers - c**p, awful, rubbish 1/10 Ray - He was OK, but still below par 3/10 Ben - Good, he deserves to be in the final 7/10 Leona - Without you = performance of the series. 10/10
December 2, 200618 yr MacDonalds 4/10 + 5/10 = 9/20 Ray........... 3/10 + 3/10 = 6/20 Ben........... 7/10 + 6/10 = 13/20 Leona........ 7/10 + 9/10 = 16/20 So Leona, Ben and Mac Donalds for the final three!
