X Factor

300

[Ridgley]

I am just old skool, the X factor does not appeal to me music wise anyway

[jaybee82]

I'm getting behind Wagner - lacking vocal talent and more than a bit creepy but who cares...he's entertaining! Plus every week he stays in Cheryl Cole's scowls get more intense!! Get behind Wagner!!!

[DJKillaQueen]

Yeah the controlled scowls by Cheryl are definitely worth watching for!

[DJKillaQueen]

The songs are too big for them all so far...even Matt who just killed one of my fav. Elton Jonh songs with his nerves (why are the judges saying it was a strong performance?).....

[mockney piers]

Agree. I'm really not an elton John fan, just don't like his songs, but like them or not it's conspicuous just how badly the contestants are doing with them, which must reflect well on Elton's vocal talent and performances.

I liked pinball wizard mind, but i dont think that was one of his was it.

[DJKillaQueen]

No it wasn't one of his ...it was the Who (Mr Townsend wrote it)...lol.

Maybe Wagner will perform it though!

[mockney piers]

Hmmm, like the jedward joke eventually fell flat, I fear this may be wagner's final week.

Pity.

[DJKillaQueen]

He was more awful than usual lol...and Louis is in such a foul mood tonight......

I see a Harry Hill moment coming....Figghhhhttttt!

[daizie]

one direction - probably posh kids but who cares :))

[DJKillaQueen]

They and Rebecca are the only two acts who did well tonight imo....(in fact I think Rebecca is showing just how good she really is)

[The Minkey]

Rebecca was the only flawless performance - what a beautiful cover. Both Matt & One Direction started off wobbly and picked up. Of the latter two, Matt's was the better vocal performance, imo.

[DJKillaQueen]

I thought Matt was all over the place....he's done well so far so people might not be as critical as they should be, but he's no Rebecca. She's not there yet but she could be world class, helped by her unique vocal tone. Matt, whilst good, has nothing unique about him. He's like many other solo male artists in the UK, too soon to say if he's the new David Gray or Damien Rice or even James Blunt. Rebecca though is the real deal....and she stood out last night as the only performer truly capable of nailing anything.

[RosieH]

Really DJKQ? I think Rebecca has an exceptional voice but is really bland. Can't imagine ever wanting to go to see her perform live - dull dull dull.

Matt on the other hand, interesting, and according to News of the Screws, a dirty shagger. What's not to love?

[Pickle]

I agree that Rebecca has a great voice, but just don't enjoy watching or listening to her... she is very boring. I think the "shy girl turns into pop star" line is all well and good but I think she needs to shake the shy girl thing sooner rather than later!

Once again I enjoyed Cher's performance, just the fact that she's different to the others keeps me interested.

Hadn't heard the dirty shagger stories about Matt, off to Google him now! ;-)

[KalamityKel]

Elton week - what a bore!!!!

Cher is quite boring for me, always the same approach. It's not new at all *yawn* Now don't get me wrong I like her difference and she will definately do well but for the competition...? PLEASE someone change the record!!!

Aiden... nope still don't like him

One direction were ok I guess seeing that we are being told we NEED a boy band in the undustry (nice how the press still have that knack of telling us what we think before we have formed any thought at all)

Matt... *swoon* as Simon says (generally) bad or good press is better than none at all ;-)

I give up with the rest *sighs*

[Keef]

Missed this week. Did anyone do Tiny Dancer? Not really an Elton fan, but love that song.

[Narnia]

Is Tesco Mary still in? Don't watch it but saw her a couple of times.

[DJKillaQueen]

She is Narnia, but tonights results show will lose another....I think she'll be safe though.

I take the points about Rebecca but when someone signs as well as that I don't care if they stand still. I'm listening.

Matt doesn't move much either but his performance of 'Baby Hit Me One More Time' forced me to listen. He get's a lot of female votes because some women find him attractive....but that's not an objective view of his vocal talent. I don't find him attractive. He'll have a career, but not outside of the UK. America won't snap him up for example.

[RosieH]

Why not? How on earth can you claim that? Do you secretly run the American charts?

America likes a singer songwriter too. Think I said it earlier, but Gary Jules is American. Matt strikes me as being something of a better looking version.

[EDKiwi]

How cronic was that lip synching in the group song at the start? Some of those guys need to work on their timing a bit.

[Pickle]

Cor, controversial result! I feel for Aiden given that Wagner is still in the running (how the feck?).

EDKiwi, the lip-synching was the most cringeworthy thing I've watched in a long time, terrible.

Is it just me, or did Take That look really uncomfortable throughout their (decidedly average IMO) performance? Something tells me the "we love each other, best mates forever" thing is a rather inconvincing act.

[Keef]

Never liked Aiden, but equally, Katie is very annoying.

[DJKillaQueen]

We'll see who is right in the end Rosie...Matt is not as special or as good as many people think he is...as his attempt at singing Elton showed. I don't even think the standing ovation he got for 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' last week was warranted either. And no...he's not that good looking either.....well not good lookig enough for America.

[legalbeagle]

I just can't understand everyone saying how fabulous One Direction are. Apart from a bit of individual boy band warbling, they are propped up by what sounds like an army of backing singers at every possible moment. I'm sorry but they are average at best. Matt on the other hand (and for the record this isn't because I fancy him, he's very much NOT my type) has a really interesting voice. Hoping he wins!
