The X Factor, Saturday 17/10/09

Whilst commenting on Kate's blog today, I realized that I had a whole post's worth of opinion bubbling up inside me! 

The X Factor, if you don't know, is the British equivalent of American Idol. 

Now before I start my pointless rambling, please watch the cringeworthy hilarity of one of last nights performances. 4.04 minutes of brilliance! 

 

Oh dear God! And yet I totally agree with Simon's Exorcist comparison! 

John and Edward are treading what I call the 'Chico' path. Chico is a former X Factor contestant that had the same 'watch between your fingers' appeal. Bad yet utterly compelling. 

My favourite contestants so far this year are Miss Frank and Stacey Solomon. This is Stacey's first live performance. Just beautiful. 

 

For a full rundown on all this years contestants go to the X Factor website. 

Love: Stacey, Miss Frank, John and Edward 
Like: Olly, Lucie 
Not decided on: Most of them
At the moment not liking: Jamie, Danyl 

I think Jamie and Danyl are very talented singers. There's just something about them that I'm not so keen on. Just can't put my finger in what it is yet. 

Now to the judges. Danni is just meh. Although this year she does seem to be making better choices for her category. 
Cheryl is thus far having problems with the boys. Joe was good last night but Rikki and Lloyd's song choices weren't brilliant. I did feel sorry for her after Lloyds performance and I love the way he went down to give her a hug. Aw. 
Louis wasn't there due to Stephen Gately's untimely passing (see previous entry) as he was his manager and friend. 
Ah, Simon. I confess to having a huge crush on him. He says what I'm thinking most of the time, just in a really cutting way! I just *heart* him. Sigh. 

So tonight should be somewhat epic. Cheryl's first live solo perfomance. Poor girl, I feel sorry for her. She's being followed by Whitney Houston in her first live British TV performance for 10 years. However well Cheryl's performance goes, she will be compared to Whitney and the press will have a field day. I feel bad already. 

Who stays and who goes? I have no frickin clue. Should be good though!
