the x-factor

So!! Eton Road and Ray have both been signed to Liverpool Agents which caused a bit of controversy and the last I read was that they were unsure about whether to disqualify them. Im writing before I have researched so will have to go and have a look. at the latest. However, I have to watch the repeat shows because of work and what I saw last week was confirming my choices.

Kerry. I dont think so. Her voice does my head in. Cabaret only I feel. More like Barbra Dixon then current commercial material. Kerry has a very old hotel bar look and as she wants people to look beyond her disabilities I will and say, she is not good enough.

Nikitta. I just dont think she is memorable other than the fact that her Mother died and she is 'doing this' for her mum. I am not one for stories to prop up sympathy votes for winning ( Im a hard nut Im afraid.. its talent or nothing )

Ray. Should be an actor or in musicals. Has the 'Oliver' type look about him and reminds me of a little 'Pearly King' singing London type songs like berlington bertie. He wont win. Not good enough.

Leona. Oh dear. Great Voice. But another one of those ruddy singers that sings 'with their hand' like Mariah Carey. I cant stand Mariah Carey though I love her voice. I love Leonas voice, vocally very reminescent of Debs from Five Star, and Michael Jackson too. She could do well, but cant stand that hand thing fer gawds sake... also her dress sense and her stage movements need sorting out....!!!

For Sure. Black boy band. Cant fault them. Terrific. Loved them right from the start.

Ashley. Hes my favourite to Win.
Hes got everything and they all know that. Even if he drops out, he is gonna do well. He is another Bob Marley'Jimi Hendrix lookalike but hes gonna go far...
Dionne. Fantastic. She is quite capable of winning. A star, no problem.

The dark boy whats he called George?? love him, but his vocal does not hold the clarity for me. Must admit his gratitude does move me even though I hate all this tears stuff.

Ben. Hes gonna have a career out of this but dont think he will win. He wont be able to do all the commercial coverage and he acts like he has not left the band on stage and that is not great. Otherwise I love this guy and agree with HG with all she says both about him and unconventionals who are gone, sadly.

Eton Road, love Anthony and the brilliant harmony of My girl.

I thought the Mcdonal Brothers were not given the right song or the right choreography on stage last week. Why split them up each side of the stage , bladdy stupid. Like to hear them sing another song. tbh. Remind me of the Everly Brothers. They will do well regardless of win or no win.

I would have given Ashley Marvin Gayes Dock of the Bay to sing last week, purely because it seems like a simple song to sing, but its a real pig to get voice control on it...try it yourselves, you will see what I mean, yet I feel he could have handled it better than what he sang which did not suit him at all.

anyway, who do I think I am... hope everyone is okay btw...and think we should all go over to Cosmic Ordering page to summon Ais to our site.

sorry but i just cant see ashley having any talent, yes he has the look, but i would have to say, hes in the bottom 2 on singing ability along with ray

I agree with you Brockolly. I didn't see anything special about either Ashley or Ray (either with their voice or expression/way of singing). The only memorable thing for me was how they looked physically - Ashley looking funky and Ray looking cute. I appreciate the 'x-factor' involves more than just a good voice, but as I said earlier, if Ashely didn't have the hair, and Ray didn't have a cute smile, I don't know what else would stand out as being special with either of them. I think they'll both end up going far right enough (simply because one looks funky and the other looks cute ).

I doubt I'll change my mind about Ray (cute boy, but not deserving of the win) but I'll have a closer look at Ashley over the next few weeks in case I've missed something with him. He might have potential.

my fav is robert - you can tell it means so much to him - he always makes me cry

also leona has a great voice

[Cloud 9]

Well I said I'd give Ashley a chance this week - and I did see something more special about him than just his hair - I was impressed. Am I allowed to change my mind?

Still feel the same about Ray though - I'm sure its his smile that is going to carry him through to the final stages. Still like Leona, but was more impressed with Dionnes voice this week although I don't think she should be trying to mimic Tina Turner so much (all her movements were like a carbon copy of Tina - even the flick of the head - did anyone else notice?)

I like Kerry and the McDonald brothers but neither of them have got as much x-factor as the others.

I'm still rooting for Nikita, with Dionne and Ashley as runners up.

[juliejuliejulie]

who was voted out?? please tell me lol

no worries went to the website 4sure ( i thought they would have stayed longer as said cant comment as never watched it yesterday

The bottom two should never have been there again this week. The McDonald bros and Kerry were def the poorest singers, even although I was secretly pleased they never got booted - still loving the underdog . To me, I am stunned that people are voting for Kerry. When she is singing, I find myself drifting off and doing something else - she is really boring and definitely does not have the x-factor. I also find myself getting really frustrated with the whole ' look past the wheelchair' nonsence - WE DO!! but you keep ruddy reminding us of it you silly woman!!!!!!!!!

Still loving Nikitta and her lovely smile, I thought she was brilliant last night but still can't take to Dionne, Leona and grinner Ray.

BTW Simon is a genius and am finding him rather sexy these days

me too, i thought it was just me. I just love it when he smiles.

If Simon hadn't been so horrible about the MacDonald brothers they would have been out. They should have been out. I felt sorry for 4Sure. They didn't deserve to go. And Robert in the bottom two? What's wrong with the British voting public?

Actually, I suppose it shows the danger of a positive voting system. Everyone always assumes that other people will save the best ones.

I was really impressed with how Robert took on board the criticisms and came out and did a stunning second performance. That's what saved him with Simon for sure (no pun intended!).

Dione was great again this week. I like Leona but I don't think she is woman-friendly. She may not be arrogant but she has an arrogant look that will put people off. Great voice though.

[remaha]

btw, I think Simon must have been reading my comments about Dione's posture on stage.

Mind you Tina Turner used to dance like that and it didn't hold her back.
