November 30, 200816 yr Britney Spears is an ENTERTAINER end of!!!! Yes she mimed but the performance was pretty good and it's really good for her to get back out there and do it like the old times. Same Difference mimed last week!!!!! Alex goes on me then goes off me I thought 'Toxic' was ok but then Listen was average she is a nice person but she aims too high with the songs that aren't in her vocal capacity and is a wannabe Beyonce Eoghan should have gone last week he cannot sing and I'm sure the judges are deaf when they watch him because he's always out of tune, isn't a strong singer and will probably win the thing but end up like Gareth Gates. He probably had a hell of a lot of votes just based on High School Musical fans, we'll see next week!!!! Diana I love but wish that Louis would shut up with this dancing - do you see Adele, Amy Winehouse dancing???? NO!!!! JLS don't even go there - a so called group which only has one singer!!! Cheryl should say to Louis why doesn't your 'group' act like a group and share vocal instead of one singer?????
November 30, 200816 yr I am so sick of people being absolutley ridiciulosuly unfair on Britney. Yes, she mimed, boo stinking hoo, i sort of agree a show about live singing talent should have LIVE singers, but most of you are being so FICKLE in that you didnt complain when Girls Aloud (chrous), Mariah, Same Difference, X Factor Finalists etc. ALL mimed this season, none of you had ANYTHING to say about that :| Yes, she cant sing live, but at least she put on a decent show with her miming... people are just being so unfair...
November 30, 200816 yr For those knowing whether Miley was live or not. She definently wasn't it was recorded on November 1st. about half an hour before the show begun :D

Ditto all that tbh
November 30, 200816 yr For those knowing whether Miley was live or not. She definently wasn't it was recorded on November 1st. about half an hour before the show begun :D How does that change if she sings live or not?
November 30, 200816 yr To be honest i wanted Ruth out ASAP but over Eoghan is just not great. Eoghan was not the better than Ruth or any of them last night. He was the weakest on both but nevermind :D
November 30, 200816 yr Well it's just stupid getting someone onto a singing competition where the main guest mimes.
November 30, 200816 yr Well it's just stupid getting someone onto a singing competition where the main guest mimes. I do agree. However, I'm confused as to why people thought Britney actually would sing. As far as I know, she ALWAYS mimes?.
November 30, 200816 yr I do agree. However, I'm confused as to why people thought Britney actually would sing. As far as I know, she ALWAYS mimes?. To be honest I don't think its the fact that she mimed at all. But her arrival in the UK and her performance on X-Factor was so hyped and bigged up (to be fair - not her fault) I do think people were genuinely expecting her to sing. I believe ITV paid a huge amount for her appearance on the show too. And for all those saying it was a great performance ... I really didn't notice an actual dance routine there - she strutted from one side of the stage to the other showing off her fishnets and baps and that was it. And to all those who say it doesn't matter about miming - if she never sings live (or hardly ever) how do you know it is actually her voice on the records? It could be some fat ugly session singer for all you know with 'pretty Britney' at the front for show. Some of us older posters on here will remember the great Milli Vanilli scandal! They got away with it for years ... and they weren't even half as pretty as Britney! Norma Edited November 30, 200816 yr by Norma_Snockers
November 30, 200816 yr Miley was pre-recorded, that was obvious, but she DID perform it live. Yes i know and she did a superb job. i think i know what happened that week too, the judges had to wear what they were going to wear on the night of Miley cyrus being on, 3 weeks ago, before the show started or whenver it was to make it look as if it was live last night but it wasn't it was earlier in the month :D Edited November 30, 200816 yr by KJ Rob

November 30, 200816 yr I do remember that, and one of the artists committed suicide a few years later I remember that even more vividly! There were a load of other contributing factors though. Norma
November 30, 200816 yr Alex goes on me then goes off me she is a nice person but she aims too high with the songs that aren't in her vocal capacity and is a wannabe Beyonce I don't think so Alex is far more talented than Slagonce.
November 30, 200816 yr Reading all these messages, it seems no one likes Eoghan. Me neither. So how the hell did Ruth go instead of him? It's a total travesty! JLS & Orville will be in the final, but neither should be!

Actually if you look back at my post you'll see that I did say the same about Same Difference and Mariah. Didn't see Girls Aloud perform so can't comment. But you're right in theory, they did all mime and to be honest that's wrong of all of them. If the acts cannot sing live then they shouldn't be invited to a song contest. Sorry to be blunt, James, but I think your last sentence is bordering on ridiculous - freaking Chico could put on a decent show by miming but you wouldn't pay to see him would you? Besides, normally I'm very impressed with Britney's shows, and don't get me wrong I LOVE Womanizer, but last night she didn't really dance, it was as Norma said, prancing from side to side (not very elegantly it has to be said) whilst her backside was hanging out! I've no doubt that when she's on top form her shows are amazing, but last night was pretty laughable in my opinion.
November 30, 200816 yr The miming Britney is getting out of hand now, no one had an issue last week when Same Difference mimed, why should it be any different for Brintey.

Excuse me, but I have criticised each and every act who has appeared on this show and mimed. Funny how SCD does not allow musical stars to mime yet Simon Cowell allows it on his own show which is supposed to be a singing competition (although after Leon last year & Eoghan this year perhaps not). If anything I was far more critical regarding Mariah Carey as (unlike Britney) she is supposed to be a great singer when she mimed. I strongly dislike acts who mime since the Milli Vanilli scandal which at the time significantly helped to kill pop music virtually overnight, seeing the pop careers of New Kids On The Block, Debbie Gibson, Rick Astley, Paula Abdul, Bros, Brother Beyond, Jason Donovan, etc go into a near overnight meltdown. As for Britney I like her records (her last album Blackout was outstanding) & her videos but her vocal talent is dubious at best. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cX_p-HrH-yE Cathy Dennis - Toxic (original version 1997 - Synchronized with Britney's Music video)

They got away with it for years ... and they weren't even half as pretty as Britney! Norma Back in the 60s & 70s there were similar scandals. In the 70s there were the Bay City Rollers and in to 60s, Love Affair where neither group played their own instruments on their records although they did sing. Then in the 80s there was the scandal of thhe Black Box hit, Ride On Time. The girl was a model and mimed to the vocals of soul singer Martha Wash who originally recorded the song. As for Same Difference miming - I wonder what the difference in fees was between Same Difference and Britney Spears. Edited November 30, 200816 yr by Euro Music
