is it still judges choice who goes or public vote?

 

I think it should be the public vote all the way through.

I think it's Judges choice next week but it's the last week of that I think...

 

Also - Download Diana's performance from Digi-Spy, coz I swear it sounds 10x betterthan it did on TV :lol:

I disagree, if it was the public's choice fully then there's a chance acts such as Daniel could still be there. At least this way, theres a better chance of the crao one's leaving sooner rather than later.

It definatly does :o

Okay last night, best to worst.

 

01. Ruth Lorenzo - Angels

This was just magic, possibly a couple of iffy notes but much more the Ruth we have seen in the bottom two performances, passionate and belting out the vocals. Great show close.

 

02. Rachel Hylton - You Know I'm No Good

I loved this, I really liked the changes she made to the melody which made it harder for her, but she coped well, and I loved the confidence that she had back. However I'm sick of all this 'Rachel has ARRIVED' business - what do you want, a medal? It's week six.. most contestants were with us a couple months back. The fact she can only nail about 3 of the 10 or so songs she has done over the course isn't to be applauded.. but this performance was magic.

 

03. Alexandra Burke - You Are So Beautiful

YES! YES!! This was not Alexandra's best performance. But boy, it was the performance she NEEDED. A performance where nobody could compare her to current divas or say that Alex tried to emulate anyone, it was just one (gorgeous) lady with her voice in an understated, simple, flawless set up. Not particularly challenging you might argue, but I think it will have bumped her up in people's estimations. Still the only contestant in my eyes not to have put a foot out of place, she just does the job perfectly.

 

04. Diana Vickers - Yellow

This started off really well and looked as if it could be another night-stealing performance, the verses were magic but you started to tell she was ill and be a bit disappointed in the chorus, and the subsequent 'oooohs' were pretty bad in my opinion. Of course you have to let her off but it was one of her weakest. The silence after Simon's comment about being worried for her said it all, no-one booed, they all knew he might have a point, and Cheryl's face really dropped when Diana walked around with her hand on her head. Personally, I don't think the artist should do that, they are being watched all the time and while it's fine to feel disappointment at a performance, live on tv in the one or two minutes after isn't the outlet IMO, it's not long to keep spirits up for...

 

05. JLS - Medley

I thought this started really well! LOVED I Wanna Hold Your Hand, then it became a bit screechy into Twist and Shout and then Aston's shouting/growling JUDEY JUDEY was horrible in my opinion in the last number. It was all a bit messy and while it was entertaining in a sense and they looked like they were having fun, vocally there were bum notes and it was one of their worst I think.

 

06. Eoghan - One More Try(?)

Bah, after how amazing last week was, I'm disappointed. Vocals were largely nice (not always a good word in music) but he REALLY has to concentrate on the big high notes, he makes it look so much effort which isn't good. It meant it didn't flow when the high note came in, it looked like three seperate entities - Start of Song/High Note/End of Song. I also thought it wasn't very exciting at all.

 

07. Daniel - It's Not Unusual

Credit where it's due again, the man's vocals have improved over the series.. some lovely notes and the last note was truly great! However I just thought it was tacky, and not fun at all, pretty boring actually. The man is just not cut out to be a popstar!

 

Result

Was very worried for Alexandra because of her positioning (glad she has got past a week near the final where she is near the top of the show, at least the wrong side of Diana), was expecting Rachel to sail it, so was thinking Alex or JLS vs Daniel. In the sing off, Rachel had good attitude (for a change) but it meant she didn't sing it with the right meaning. Vocally though it was superb I thought (seems you all disagree!) and much better than Daniel's average effort.

 

Overall

01. Alexandra

02. Ruth

03. Diana

04. JLS

05. Eoghan

06. Rachel

This week to do with Cheryl - WHY did she say 'Rachel had her worst week last week, she was totally out of tune', when she made no reference to that last week in her critique? She is proving herself to be a total coward and putting positive spin on things or just ignoring anything too negative for her image. Not what we need from a judge, I'd respect her more if she'd said to Rachel last week 'I know you're having a tough time, but that was awful and out of tune, babe'

Take That are filming their own TV Special next Friday and Saturday night - so how are they going to be on the X-Factor?

Lovely vid of Ruth's birthday treat here :o

 

 

Very sweet to watch! Dannii is a fabulous mentor.

I think it should be the public vote all the way through.

 

Whilst on the face of it, that would appear to be the fairest way forward, right now the public is consistently showing itself incapable of making decisions based on singing.

How else do you explain Laura and Austin being bottom two in the early weeks? Ruth's TWO appearances? Rachel's appearance this week after her best performance yet? Meanwhile the weak-voiced Eoghan is apparantly comfortable topping the vote each week.

 

Until the public learns to vote on singing and performing ability rather than sob stories and the "cute" factor, we need the judges vote for the show to even a shred of credibility!

Finally Daniel is gone -_- Dunno what took so long though...

Eoghan next please

Eoghan is supposedly polling the highest vote week on week so doubt you will be getting rid of him soon

I'm sorry but if they were going to be singing that then it doesn't matter whether they perform it well or not, because IMO whoever sings that song, because it's current and new, will NOT be bottom 2 -_- and because Dannii had first picks it was OBVIOUS she was going to be choosing that one for one of her acts. Cheryl & Simon would have done the same.
Anyone know when Pink is on?

I'm starting to think she wont be on this series. I think every show from now has at least one guest rumoured or confirmed. Take That this week, then Britney, then maybe Il Divo and possibly Beyoncé for the final. Of course, there is room for more than one guest on the show, as we'll see this week, but I doubt P!nk is appearing any more.

Not looking forward to Rachels peformance, i have bad feeling she's going to sound awful. Highly unlikely any of that article is true though.
I thought it was

 

Take That

Same Difference & Rydian

Britney

Dunno

then beyonce :o

 

Take That, Same Difference & Rydian this week. Take That won't be in the studio though, they must be doing a link or something - but they'll obviously also have the pre-recorded 'mentoring' or as I like to call it 'chatting to' bit (or in Mariah's case ... just being 'slavering over' bit!)

 

I don't know what Louis Walsh is moaning about ... JLS have been given, as far as I'm concerned, the best Take That song - ever! Its a song that they can't really go wrong with ... whereas

Rule The World

is a much harder song to perform - especially for a soloist so if they want to get rid of the competition ... they should be glad Rachel is doing it because she's taking on the most difficult.

I want to hear Diana sing 'Patience'

 

I'm hoping she can show me what the fuss is with that song :lol:

What! Patience is my favourite song of theirs since the reunion and my second favourite from both times! Yer cheeky little beggar!

 

Believe it or not I was shopping in Asda before and the reason I forgot some of my groceries was I was thinking what Diana should sing on X-Factor! :lol: Seriously ... I think she'd do a brilliant job of Pray.
