December 9, 200618 yr leona was AMAZING tonight, Somewhere Over The Rainbow was the BEST ever performance on a singing reality show imo, she has got to win!
December 10, 200618 yr Utter bollox, Ray voted in and Ben out. Can see Ray winning. Nah, mate it was decided long ago that the Mariah Impersonator was gonna win.....
December 10, 200618 yr As has been said, I'm shocked by Louis' lack of musical knowledge. Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, PJ Harvey and even newcomers like Amy Winehouse obviously slipped his mind. I never thought I'd say this but I'm glad Ray made the final. He is annoying and it's a bit odd seeing a teenager dressed in a grey suit singing songs by dead men but he was alright. He was in tune - he just doesn't go for the big notes the way other two do. It was a strong, polished performance and I really don't like him but I can say that. Ben however is not a brilliant singer. He can do the power notes but they always sound the same and he does them two or three times per performance. And (as I said in another forum) if he's a credible rockstar why is he doing Bryan Adams covers and dedicating records to his Mum? At least Ray (or Simon or whoever) knows that Ray is not anything better than a kid doing Sinatra. We're led to believe that Ray is different and can be the next British rockstar but I don't think that's even remotely likely.
December 10, 200618 yr How Ray has managed to get into the final is beyond me! He's beaten the likes of Nikitta , Eton Rd and Ben, its just a joke and now we must suffer him in the final. He is cr*p!
December 10, 200618 yr Just been watching X Factor A few comments : 1) If Ray flops as a singer he has a surefire career in fukkin Hollywood :rolleyes: :rolleyes: those fake tears deserve him nomination for Best Male actor in next years Oscar's <_< -_- 2) Leona was both amazing and irritating, stunning performance of Over The Rainbow but ruined by her histrionics at the end of the song 3) BT should bring in IQ tests before allowing anyone to use a phone :rolleyes: how the **** did Ray get into the final over the yet again BRILLIANT Ben, I can't believe anyone with an IQ over single digit could possibly think Ray was a better singer last night :wacko: -_-
December 10, 200618 yr Overall ratings : Ben - Song 1 - 8/10 Song 2 - 9/10 Ray Song 1 - 3/10 Song 2 - 4/10 Leona Song 1 - 8/10 Song 2 - 10/10
December 10, 200618 yr How glad I am I didn't watch XF last night. Reading through the posts tells me I made the right choice and go out!. I just couldn't have stuck another night of Rays falseness and cheese. Who the f*** is voting for him for gawds sake? He has to be the smarmiest entry in the history of both PI and XF. :puke2: Do we really believe the phone votes? what do you think?

December 10, 200618 yr [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAgvMnJindo.swf Here's Leona's performance of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Edited December 10, 200618 yr by Conor
December 10, 200618 yr I thought Leona was on top form last night and deserved a place in the final. Ben was good, not his best but better than Ray. Ray, i agree he does smile too much, and the 2nd performance wasn't that good, but he picked up towards the end but still not good enough. I'm kinda glad Ben went as the thought of him 'possibily' winning and having to sing 'A Moment Like This' didn't enthrall me and i know it wasn't something he wanted to sing either. I think not winning won't have harmed him. The song is a woman's song and the only woman who can sing it is Kelly Clarkson. I am REALLY disappointed they didn't choose an ORIGINAL song this year. Anyway whoever wins, as we've seen before all three will probably get record contracts, but only one of them gets the winning song. Ben WILL get a record contract no doubt about that.
December 10, 200618 yr This show has been a farce since the minute they left the auditions and crossed over into the real stages. The final two highlights this brilliantly. Leona has great vocal talent but as the judges are always saying 'it's not just the voice that matters'. It's the X-Factor and she most certainly does NOT have the X-Factor. Same with Ray. He has the stage presence, he has the charisma, he has the confidence, but can he sing? Can he sh*te. This all brings me round to my original point of about 5 weeks ago - WHY THE F*CK WAS ASHLEY VOTED OUT? And the answer to that is simple - Louis Walsh is a prick.

I didn't like Ashley much, he seemed a bit too arrogant and also FORGOT his lines on MORE than one occasion. His voice wasn't all that great either. I don't think Leona has even once forgotten her lines.
December 10, 200618 yr who was voted of last night Ben I actually think Ray is gonna win this year actually. :o
December 10, 200618 yr [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAgvMnJindo.swf Here's Leona's performance of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Sorry, am I supposed to be impressed that someone has taken a sweet little song from a lovely little musical that I loved in my childhood and turned it into a pompous, bombastic pile of SH!TE!!!!!! Frankly I was looking at my watch wondering when the warbling bint was gonna finish :angry: :angry: Thank fukk she didn't actually sing the whole thing, I reckon it would've taken her all bloody night to finish....... Why the fukk do people think that making every sodding note last for about a week, bludgeoning every octave half to death and wavering about is actually a sign of being able to sing a song properly...??? Is it bollocks. It might be great technique, but I'm sorry, it's a bit like Prog Rock and its guitar/organ/drum solos after every sodding line of lyrics - pompous, egotistical and just forgetting the fact that an actual song existed at one point.... She sang this song exactly the way Mariah or Whitney would do it, boring..... In terms of technique - 10/10 In terms of actually singing a song properly - 3/10
December 10, 200618 yr ^ I think the arrangement owed a lot more to Eva Cassidy's cover than any of the big divas. I didn't rate Leona much this week.
