Fantastic performance from Matt. I think TrayC will go... good voice, but far too arrogant and not different enough. Wagner, oh dear, but I fear the "voting public" (whoever they may be) will keep him in. He is funny, I'll give him that.


Is it wrong to fancy the lead singer from the boyband when I'm well and truly old enough to be his mother?

Matt reminds me of Shane Ward and like him, his appeal will be limited to the uk. Rebecca may well do well internationally. She reminds me of a young Billie Holiday...who also was painfully shy.


Treyc's problem I think is that she doesn't engage with the audience. She's not the only one but with a voice like that she could have a great career if she knew how to 'perform' better. They need to give her a song in which she can get the audience in the studio involved....


For me Beyonces performance of 'If I were a Boy' on the show was the ultimate masterclass on performance. She used the walkway and camera and told a story. Treyc needs to do that instead of singing to 'air'.

DJKQ, Matt reminds me much more of Gary Jules than Shane Ward - altogether different style of music, and one which I think would have more international appeal than a third rate Justin Timberlake.


However, I enjoyed this evening's photo montage of a half-naked Shane Ward immensely.

Is this the way, the music business is heading what happen to the days of being discovered by busking or forming a band at school writing your own songs. I understand things have to move on and maybe this is the only way you can get in the public eye.


But there longevity is very short.

The music business has always had a combination of artists from different platforms. Some bands/ artists are manufactured/ packaged or 'managed', others are their own creation. And the majority of performing artists have never written their own songs.....and that's true for any decade going back as far as you like.

I agree with FT...there are lots of great bands and also lots of great individual performers. And you will see some of them watching X factor, artists like Beyonce and Rihanna.


Ultimately, the truly talentless aside, taste in music and artists is subjective for most people, and generation does come into it too. There is no doubt that Beyonce Knowles is one of the most talented artists ever, and her music is good but her style of music is not for everyone.


It is total snobbery to think that only generic bands that write their own songs and play their own instruments have any value or talent. Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Elvis Presley, I could list hundreds who never wrote a song, but were elevated into greatness because of their vocal talent, and whose music was of it's time.

Very good point DJKQ ,your posts on this thread make a lot of sense. I'm old enough to remember the Beatles on Top of the Pops singing Hey Jude, I must have been about seven at the time but I remember it clearly, not knowing what an iconic moment it was.


Times have changed and we've had generation of 'manufactured bands'. At the end of the day we choose what we buy to listen to. Flippin heck I've recently downloaded Best of Slade onto my I-touch, there's a bit of T Rex in there too; I also have some classical all the way down to Lady GaGA!


It's better Saturday nights' entertainment than Noel's House Party or even The Generation Game! Trust me.


I enjoy X Factor, it is what it is.


Strictly Come Dancing IMO is in a different league!

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits ðŸ˜‰), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
