Matthew Raymond-Barker: "Trash (Tout le Monde Jump sur le Bar)" Out Now
19 October, 2011 6:43 PM
Matthew won the French XF and he earned a Sony deal, however, his first single, "Vivre ou survivre", released after he was crowned the champion, was a major flop, only managing to get a #94 place in the charts in France and a #23 in Belgium. After the great dissapointment, Matthew is releasing his newest single, "Trash (Tout le Monde Jump sur le Bar)" from his upcoming album to be released in November. The track, an electropop upbeat tune sang in french, for some odd reason, cause remember he's british, could mean Matthew's second flop. The track isn't particularly good, nor his vocals or the track itself stand out and I can't get to like the old fashioned tune. Poor Matt, he's on his way of being dropped if he doesn't step up his game for the album and if the latter doesn't manage to sell well ...

Marina D'Amico: "Tombé du ciel" Out Now!
09 July, 2011 12:00 AM
Being defeated by Matthew Raymond-Barker in the French XF final, Marina D'Amico still managed to release her single, a cover of Jacques Higelin "Tombé du ciel" which charted at #31 on iTunes. I've to say I love Marina's recorded voice, she adds a little something to the song and it sounds beautiful. And the high shouts are my fave part of the song as usual. I've a weak spot for shouts! Haha.

Matthew Raymond-Barker: "Vivre ou Survivre" Out Now!
08 July, 2011 11:20 PM
After winning over favourite Marina D'Amico by aprox 1300 votes, the britt Matthew Raymond-Barker was crowned the winner of the second edition of the French XF and went to sign a contract with Sony Music. His Daniel Balavoine cover, "Vivre ou survivre" then went to chart at #16. While the numbers are sort of a dissapointment, as well as the show ratings, the songs aren't any bad. The song is ok overall. I didn't like this song when he performed it on the final for the first tiem and I still don't like it much. It's a little boring. However, his unique swagg shows a little in the song and that's what makes it quiet interesting to listen to, plus his phrasing is always something to look out for. I wonder how his album will do considering the numbers weren't that good ...

UPDATE: Maryvette Lair is cut! Marina and Matthew are in the final!
Losing Sarah Manesse last week was a huge loss for the show. A three girl semi final would have been amazing but instead, we've got Matthew. He's not a bad singer but the girls outsang him. Tonight each contestant will sing three songs, two new ones plus their original audition song. Who will be going home tonight? ... It's time to face the music!

Two amazing girls, an Over and a boy! The quirky Sarah, jazzy Maryvette, soulful Matthew and perfect Marina. Who will fail tonight? Plus Cameron Diaz is judging the kids in the first half! ... It's time to face the music!

X Factor France 2011: Top 5 Perform

UPDATE: Florian Giustiniani is eliminated!! Matthew was B2.
A guy was finally eliminated last week. Unfortunately, it was Raphaël Herrieras, who had been tipped to win it all since the start, instead of much inferior Florian. Tonight, the remaining 5 contestants will perform two times to impress the viewers and make it into the top 4! One will be sent packing. Will it be frequent B2 landers Sarah or Maryvette? Or will it be a newster like Marina, Florian or Matthew? ... It's time to face the music!

Or will it be someone who has never been there? ... It's time to face the music!

After the shocking elimination of Vincent Léoty, who found himself in the B2 with 2nde Nature, only one Over remains, the jazzy quirky Maryvette Lair, while 3 boys are still in. Once more, the 8 contestants will try to stay away from the bottom harder than ever. Will the Overs come to an end? Will a boy finally be eliminated? Or will it be Omega, who's been away from the bottom for 3 weeks? ... It's time to face the music!
