Read my recap and watch the videos after the JUMP ....
My favourites tonight: Katie, Matt, Rebecca and Cher. Katie did a wonderful job with both of her songs, she may not have the best vocal power but she did put it her own touch, plus it was really emotional. I loved Matt's second song, he might be back!! Best vocals of the night! Rebecca did an amazing work jazzing up those songs, it felt so Motown! And little Cher had her swagger back! That rapping was sick.
Who should go: Wagner and One Direction
Who will go: Wagner and Mary Byrne
Round 1:
Wagner
"Creep" 0901 61 61 101 -This is the most disgusting presentation ever! Still sucks but he's got point for not doing a medley for the first time. This was his best performance so far, obviously, mesured in the Wagner's sucking scale. Dannii said he connected with the lyrics, very accurate ...
One Direction
"Summer of '69" 0901 61 61 102 - They are singing again on that silly plataform with the silly girls behind them! I can't stand this anymore! Please, don't vote for them!! Louis and Niall still suck and Harry and Liam aren't improving. Zain is the only good singer, however they never give him lines. And WTF is Louis wearing!!!
Mary Byrne
"All I Want Is You" 0901 61 61 103 - Why Mary?! You were an instant favourite and now you have become in a boring old fashioned singer! This song is so dull! Mary is having lots of problems there, very out of tune and she looks really uncomfortable. The last lines with the big notes, the fireworks and the dancers were an improvement but nothing special.
Cher Lloyd
"Girlfriend"0901 61 61 104 - Cher singing Avril Lavigne? Not convinced ... And is she squinting? I actually like this ... The rapping parts are excellent but when she sings the chorus or the verses she sounds awful. Is Cher aming for the teens? It was fun, not stellar singing but the rap was worth it!
Rebecca Ferguson
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" 0901 61 61 105 - I love this song! And I love how Rebecca is looking! Plus the stage looks amazing! Beautiful phrasing and tone. However, she looks a bit stif, almost bored. She needs a little more movement but her voice is the best in the competition by miles! The ending was kewl! If Rebecca doesn't win, I'll stop covering this show ...
Matt Cardle
"I Love Rock 'n' Roll" 0901 61 61 106 - This song choice is so wrong! Matt's fake vocals are back! He's sounding awful. This song doesn't fit Matt at all! He can't mantain the tone. What's Dannii trying to gain with this? The chorus is kind of good but still, this song is bad, bad, bad ...
Katie Waissel
"Sex on Fire" 0901 61 61 107 - Katie wanted to do this song after her grannys story? Really Cheryl? Or was it a strategy to eliminate her? I love Katie and she's doing a great work with this song. The issue here is that Katie's voice doesn't work on this big songs, he can't pull the high notes required for this song. She's doing her best with it, and I certainly love it, but it's not as good as it could have been.
Round 2:
Wagner
"Addicted to Love" 0901 61 61 101 - And Wagner is back to Horribleland! I abstain to comment on such awful performance!
One Direction
"You Are So Beautiful" 0901 61 61 102 - Oh, Lord! They are trying to get more votes by singing a cute song. All the silly teens may be peeing of emotion with this performance. This is making me sick! But their vocals didn't sucked that bad.
Mary Byrne
"Brass in Pocket"0901 61 61 103 - Poor Mary! She's making it sexy and it doesn't work! This song is so awful! I confess I never heard it but after this performance I think I'll never do it! She had some good vocals but the whole dancing and all the bum notes there were just dreadful! And it wasn't tending to karaoke, it was karaoke!
Rebecca Ferguson
"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" 0901 61 61 105 - Rebecca is trying something more dinamic. She says she wants to have some fun. OMG!! I'm so in love with this! The Motown spin on this song really works, props for who did this arrengement! Love the staging, the backing singers and Rebecca's jazzy/soulish voice but were is the dinamism and the fun there? She didn't move an inch! But I LOVE her!
Katie Waissel
"Everybody Hurts" 0901 61 61 107 -Why are they changing the order? Katie deserved the pimp spot! And that was going to make her advance, now, her future here is at stake. Cheryl is really throwing her under the bus with this performance order. Katie is doing a really emotional performance but she's not sounding amazing. Sitll, I love her emotion and the way she's hitting the high notes in the chorus. And I do believe every single word she said ...
Matt Cardle
"Nights in White Satin" 0901 61 61 106 - Another song I've never heard of! But in this case I want to hear the original! Matt is doing the most amazing cover of the night! It's just him with a guitar! Love how he's sounding here, no fake vocals as in the previous. Matt has just secured his place in the final! The best performance of the night? No doubt about that!
Cher Lloyd
"Walk This Way"0901 61 61 104 - Cher's sounding so much better in this song! Love her cracking tone and the fast verses are really good! I'm not a fan of the staging or her look, but I love Cher, so this is another great performance for the record. Maybe she's beggining to sound a bit monotonus for some people, but after all, all contestants start sounding monotonus at this stage!
And we are done! It's now RESULTS TIME! The first act going through is ... Rebecca Ferguson! And obvious choice .. Also in is ... Matt Cardle! WOW! Some emotion there! Also throguh is Cher Lloyd!!! OMG! Didn't expected it! The last act going to the semi-final is ... One Direction! Fuck! Mary Byrne, Wagner and Katie Waissel are in the Bottom 3! The act with the fewst votes will be eliminated. The act leaving the competition is ... Katie Waissel! NOOOOOO!!! Why?????!!! She should be in that sing-off! So sad! I want a record deal for her!!
Sing-off
Wagner
"Unforgettable" - Worst sing-off ever. He's certainly unforgettable, for being the worst contestant in X Factor history!
Mary Byrne
"This Is My Life" - Mary will stay that's so obvious. She could just faint there and the judges will eliminate Wagner. Congrats Mary!
We are down to the VOTATION! They are going to Louis first! Why? He will decide? That's more wierd! Louis is sending Wagner home! Dannii, Cheryl and Simon all send Wagner home! That never happened! Four out of four to eliminate a contestant. Finally, Wagner is eliminated! Thanks UK!
