The X-Factor 2012

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Aww. Poor Craig. I rate him far above Marcus. How does he keep getting through?

 

[Looby]

I don't like his curly lip, I much prefer Marcus and think he has a better chance of shaking off the reality show thing and not be cheesy.

 

[Hellsbells]

ok just catching up now. Amelia lily just singing in the sing off. Million times better than boring Craig (although pretty sure that was down to totally shit song choice more than anything). Who the hell is styling poor Amelia though?! She's dressed and made up like a 40 year old prostitute. Isn't she only about 16?!
Erm - Gary Barlow's comment about Amelia apparently 'shouting her way through that song' - what crap. Gary's such an idiot.

Other thoughts. I love Dermot. I keep comparing him to the crap presenter on american xfactor & realising what a total natural he is.
I like Rebecca Ferguson's voice. Song lyrics were a bit naff though.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

That was a load of crap

 

[Geri]

All crap so far, but Janet was excrutiatingly bad.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Is the sound mix all wrong? All I can hear is the vocals and percussion.

 

[Espresso]

That warbling yodeller gets right on my wick. Whe should be long gone. She's got lovely hair, but it's not a lovely hair contest. Mind, I didn't think it was a warbling or yodelling contest, either. Shows what I know.

Marcus is my favourite.

Marcus is lovely.

Can't say I watched much this evening. This series has been piss poor

 

[Geri]

None of them interest me at all. This is almost as bad as the year Joe McElderry won it.

Ditto.

 

[colacubes]

Just watching on catch up. 1st half only. 2nd half tomorrow.

Little Mix - ok but I feel so sorry for Jessie. They're trying to put her into outfits that suit the other 3 and they don't look good on her They need to dress her properly cos she's a pretty girl but she has such a different shape to the others.

Janet - shit

Misha B - ace

Marcus - love him. Love the song. Needs less "woo" though

Amelia Lily - shouty shouty dull

 

[colacubes]

Gary was a bit rude about Carol Decker though Fucking hell I hate that song but tbf it wasn't sang out of tune!

 

[Hellsbells]

Janet has to go tonight. Forgetting half the song lyrics should be reason enough. Although i can think of 5 million other reasons aswell.

Mischa B was good, but I just hate and cringe at all her 'ha.....ha's'.

think Marcus will probably win but I can't get atall excited about him. Although having said that, he's WAY better than Matt Cardle.

Kelly's the only one who gives decent feedback now. I hate all the overtop gushing the other judges do without saying one remotely constructive or useful thing relating to the actual singing. Having said that, I'm now comparing it to American x factor, where pretty much ALL the feedback is pointless crap like 'you shine from within' and 'you're an inspiration'. So yeah British x factor is crap this year, but not as crap as the american version.

 

[bi0boy]

Misha's Killing Me Softly was dreadful

 

[Geri]

Misha's Killing Me Softly was dreadful

Yes it was - I was looking forward to it as well, as I thought she would be capable of doing a half decent job. She just did a second rate Lauren Hill version though.

Same with Marcus and his Stevie Wonder song. It obviously meant a lot to him, but I just thought it was poor. It's very hard to cover a really good song, but some people can do it (e.g. Leona Lewis' version of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face).

 

[Hellsbells]

Misha's Killing Me Softly was dreadful

i'm glad you said that. Although i think mischa has a good voice, I didn't rate that performance all that highly either. Sung with no emotion whatsoever.
Her outfits are getting a bit dodgy now as well. Whats with all the skin tight leggings Not a good look

 

[Geri]

She looked good from the waist up, and hideous from the waist down.

*highfive* All this ^

I am booooored to fucking tears with it all now *but* was quite chuffed/proud/excited that Mischa went back to the precise thing that got her on the show in the first place (1st song only, I didn't bother with the second half). Wish Little Mix would too. Yeah, yeah they can make a good stab at an En Vogue song but they can also do the little rappy bits too. It's MORE INTERESTING GODAMMIT. Just doing singing is dull. Look at Amelia Lily

Louis says the same thing to everyone. He really is nothing but a seat warmer.

I love love love the mad leggins. It *is* a great look! Don't be skinny, wear patterend leggins! It's fucking fab

It's a stupid fucking programme and I don't know why I'm watching it anymore.

.

Louis has told everyone they should be in the final, hasn't he? And that he loves them, despite the fact they're shit (what he means, but doesnt say) i.e. Janet.

"You!"
"Have a great recording voice! That's what we're looking for!"

x5

 

[Hellsbells]

oh yes, you hiccup well and make every song you sing sound identical. Therefore you are distinctive and have a good recording voice. OH - and you have a voice of your own & if you want to sing Red hot chilli peppers because you have 'alternative, rock style' music tastes, then you're also amazing. Because that's the kind of music you should be making confused: really?! )

 

[5t3IIa]

It's stuck in the 20th century. I like Marcus but if he wins just because he's a nice lad who's kind to his mother then that really is a big fail when one considers what the fucking charts actually look like.

Look! Listen!

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

I liked Janet's RHCP cover

 

[hegley]

Amelia Lily - shouty shouty dull

Agreed - do the people on Digital Spy watch a completely different recording or something?

 

[Geri]

Apparently the M&S ad has been re-shot, with Amelia singing the last line instead of Misha. Misha fans are not happy.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I thought Marcus did OK at the Stevie Wonder song but really, nobody should ever attempt Stevie - he's just too good. I even thought that about the Wham song he did earlier and I never thought I'd think that about George Micheal!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Apparently the M&S ad has been re-shot,

again?!

 

[hegley]

George Michael has an awesome singing voice even if his songs are a bit pap - and yeah, thought Marcus did a fair but not fantastic job on both.

 

[Ms T]

I like Misha but actually only Janet has any artistic integrity. Whether you like her style or not (I do), you've got to admire her for being 16 and sticking to her guns in the way she does. Agree that Amelia Lily is dull and shouty. Marcus's attempt at Stevie Wonder was horribly exposing, ditto Misha doing the Roberta Flack number, which is just an amazing song when done properly.

 

[Geri]

But Janet just can't sing.
