X Factor UK #9 - you're my favourite work of art



And once again, there's a guest helping out and giving valuable tips to the various contestants and this round, it's Michael Buble!

Olly Murs performing the Bewitched Theme Song
I disagree with Louis. I don't think he's the dark horse of the competition. He's prolly one of the favourites to win! This performance just reaffirmed how good he is. It looks to me that Olly and Danyl are opposites in this show. Danyl started off with a bang and is fizzling out, while Olly started off not quite as well as Danyl did, but is blossoming fast and fulfilling his potential.

Proud Mary by Elvis Presley sung be Rachel Adedeji
A big risk Rachel has taken, in trying her hand at one of The King's songs. Takes a lot of courage, and I daresay this calculated risk has paid off. Having been in the bottom two the last two rounds, she's certainly looking to avoid the drop. And I certainly hope people will begin to realise her talent, her powerful voice and personality and not put her in the bottom two.

Jamie Archer singing Angel of Harlem by U2
Love his new look - finally ditched the hanging thing by his side (what's that called anw?) Why's U2 not a big band? I'm quite confused here. And Elvis Presley is a big band? If the theme's big band, then that's pretty weird. Nothing special about this performance, like what Cheryl said, the something extra seems missing this time.

Stacey Solomon singing Disney's When You Wish Upon A Star
What a gorgeous dress! She looks every bit the french chanteuse.

Danyl Johnson singing Michael Buble's Feeling Good
Simon being biased again. What's new right? Is it good? I'm not too sure, but I know it's one of his better few performances ever since his "best first audition". Certainly could see himself putting his all into the song, but don't know if it's good enough to make him the favourite once again after his repeated let-downs.

Frank Sinatra's My Funny Valentine sung by Lucie Jones
It's really comical to see the judges' "fight" amongst themselves. Like Simon calling Dannii and Cheryl the two witches, and Louis and Simon somehow always having something to argue over. That said, I firmly believe she's the favourite now, along with Olly. She needs a bit more confidence in herself though. She's got a wonderful voice and she's beautiful. What more could she ask for? She's also prolly got the whole of Scotland behind her. Stunning rendition of Sinatra's song.

Joe McElderry singing Michael Buble's Sway
Can see a teeny little hesistance in his dancing. But, that was so damn good. I know I kept overlooking him earlier on, but man, that was a huge mistake on my part. He's really talented. Louis didn't mention anything about his singing, just kept going on about his likability.

Twin Horrors singing She Bangs by Ricky Martin
I don't know how in the blooming hell are these two still in the competition. One wonders how long can they actually last? Are people going to vote out the true performers (who can sing) for a pair of goofy two shoes who somehow or rather are still in based on their cute looks(?) It completely baffles me.

Michael Buble singing Cry Me A River
A standing ovation from all 4 judges. Fitting indeed of such a virtuosic performance. Such control over his voice and range. Impressive. Btw, Cheryl and Dannii look like they're trying to steal his thunder with cleavage baring dresses. LOL. But Cheryl's mermaid-ish dress looks horrible. Her greek goddess outfit was a million times better.
