I agree. It was a stark reminder that pop music really isn't an easy peasy thing.

Agreed! And Marcus just made me realise that. Bless him he's so handsome and sweet.
Disappointed at Misha B as well but again....you have to be pretty amazing to carry off Killing Me Softly...
Either Janet or Amelia to go this week.

IMO that's around the wrong way
mischa knows what's she likess and is good at but got kicked off the path with nerves and all the bullshit and now she's back. Janet appears to enjoy having a bit of a warble, regardless of the song.

I notice that they haven't let her come on with her guitar like she said she wanted to do on one of the previous shows

I have to wonder if old Johnny could have pulled it off!

never odd or even
Funnily enough, the first time I thought Craig had any potential was when he sang Beyonce's Halo at judges' houses. Thought they'd overrated him till then. Mind, I think that might have been his peak.

I've seen George Michael live twice (yeah I know
) and I can honestly say he has the best and most beautiful live singing voice I've ever heard. And I speak as someone who has both musical training and seen a lot of live music in the last 20 years./smug expert

Y'know one thing I find really distateful about x factor commentary is how people can be so horrible about 16/17/18 year olds. They're barely adults ffs!
I agree. People say she's yodelling and she is and that's what makes her good - exploiting that break in her voice, it's what gives her her range. I don't think she's handling the pressure so well though (not surprising considering her age), not sure if she'll make it this week.

Range? Has she any actual range in the sense of a 'selection' of styles she can adopt, if she choses? She does her thing and that's that innit.

wasn't born to follow
She has no range to speak of, and I think the reason she is so insistent on "doing her own thing" is that she is woeful at doing anything else. She has forgotten the words to songs twice now, and bearing in mind one was a song of her own chosing, that is pretty piss poor. I also think her age is no excuse as Amelia Lily is the same age and some of the others not much older.

Re Janet, I personally don't like her voice. Her breath control is awful and she hasn't got a big range. BUT with decent vocal training she could actually have an amazing voice. She's only 16 and without wishing to come over all Louis Walsh she does have great potential. Much more so than Amelia-Lily, who is all power over content. Janet's voice is very good and understated and if she could build on that she will be great in about 5 years. Most decent singer's voices don't mature till late 20s/early 30s.
However, she does need to realise that a crazy/alternative love of music doesn't mean the Red Hot Chilli Peppers ffs
I'm 34 and was totally over them by the time I was her age
