weekly x-factor wrap up

i shall endeavour to keep this short and sweet:
  • Bruno Mars is Matt's music icon, and the Kinks are Belle Amie's
  • The audience and judges clearly have no knowledge of popular hip hop music as they thought it was 'risky, fresh, unique and different' to mix rap with 'hard knock life' a-la Jay-Z
  • The judges thought TreyC was amazing singing purple rain, but in parts I thought she was so screechy I actually grimaced
  • Mary was also a hit with the judges and got another standing ovation- but again, cynical me thought she was a bit flat and a little boring. I guess I was overall underwhelmed.
  • John was good but continues to fly under the radar as a bit of a 'blah' contestant.
  • Diva Fever have gone far beyond camp. They are on a whole new level. Their music hero's are Duck Sauce. Or maybe it was in fact, an ode to Streisand? Oh, and their backing singers sang really well.
  • Rebecca is really beautiful and I like her voice, but she wasn't always in key. I think that her overall 'presence' is going to save her as most people aren't going to notice how pitchy she is.
  • Aiden is cool, deep, nonchalant, and an 'Artist'....or so he seems to think. But he is only 18. Does he really know?? And if he really is that cool, what the hell is he doing on the cheesiest TV show ever invented? At least Lennon really seemed to be his hero.
  • Katie. The only bad thing I can say is that I was very sad that she was so good. She sang really really well, and actually has the kind of voice I wish I had(I love singing when I have a cold cos I sound all jazzy and raspy). And I seriously think she was the only one who was truly in tune through her whole performance. If you have read my previous post about her, you understand just how painful this is for me to admit. That said, I still can't stand her, cos whenever she speaks I want to slap her, she is just so darned annoying!
  • I think I hate Cher as much as I hate Katie now. What a little brat. Yeah, Cher, we believe you. You are super ghetto and hardcore.
  • Wagner was nutty as ever. He really should just go soon cos theres no realistic way he will win. and apparently he's seduced mary. thats a bit creepy.
  • Louis still can't pronounce wagner as 'Vagner'. That would really piss me off if I was wagner.
  • dannii was the best dressed again. cheryl needs to up her game.
  • cheryl had red hair. i thought she learnt her lesson after the last time she did it? i think she just really liked the look on storm.

That is all.
