Amelia Lily – Billie Jean (Michael Jackson)
Rock arrangement. Pretty hard to pull off. Not perfect, but I think she did well. The judges loved it! OMG, she is only 16! – VIDEO
Johnny Robinson – Believe (Cher)
Oh, I love Louis Walsh and his song choices. Drag queen performer Johnny gets to sing Cher on the X Factor!
Oh Lord, what can I say. Camp, atrocious, over the top! The audience loved it, Gary Barlow hated it. But hey, it’s Louis who will have to send one of his own home. It probably won’t be Johnny. – VIDEO
Rhythmix – Superbass (Nicki Minaj)
Wow, the audience is loud. Louis loves them and think Tulisa did an amazing job Gary says they are the best girlband ever on the X Factor. Kelly is a bit tough, but still positive, Tulisa is supportive. I think the girls did well. – VIDEO
Frankie Cocozza – The A Team (Ed Sheeran)
I love this song. You really should check out the original on YouTube.
Technically this song is not that hard to pull off, and Frankie did fine. I think he is a bit painful to watch on stage. The judges loved him. – VIDEO
Sophie Habibis – Teenage Dream (Katy Perry)
X Factor’s barmaid goes from Adele last week to Katy Perry this week. But this still sounds like Adele? Stunning performance. – VIDEO
Jonjo Kerr – You Really Got Me (The Kinks)
I hated this. Stupid song, Jonjo in a suit with a mic stand and 4 dancers in hot pants dancing on platforms. Bad comments from all 4 judges. I think he is going home tomorrow. – VIDEO
2 Shoes – Something Kinda Ooh (Girls Aloud – Cheryl Cole’s girlband)
The Essex girls butcher Girls Aloud classic. Horrible makeup, pink car, stupid dance number. They are clearly the joke act of the groups. Gary wants to be nice, but he fails. The blond one is pregnant. The dark haired one has lipstick all over her chin. – VIDEO
James Michael – Ticket To Ride (The Beatles)
Oh, look, WGWG! Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Louis thinks the song didn’t go anywhere. Kelly is disappointed with his vocals, Tulisa thinks it was fine. Gary thinks James reinvented the classic… LOL. – VIDEO
Misha B – Rolling In The Deep (Adele)
Well, she certainly made it her own. Adele should do a remix of the song with Misha rapping. – VIDEO
Nu Vibe – Beautiful People (Chris Brown)
They are trying to sing and dance. I’m not sure this was a great song choice.
Louis loved it, Kelly is impressed, Gary thinks he watched 5 solo artists. – VIDEO
Marcus Collins – Moves Like Jagger (Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera)
Oh look, they are not hiding his boyfriend!
This performance is totally weird, but the judges all loved it. Stupid song choice from Gary. What the hell is he wearing? – VIDEO
Sami Brookes – Free (Ultra Nate)
Dated disco anthem for Samantha. She sounds great, but she is definitely not a popstar. Younger version of Mary from last year. The judges all loved her. – VIDEO
The Risk – She Said (Plan B)
It’s their first ever performance together and they are good.
Louis loves them, Gary loves them, everyone loves them. – VIDEO
Craig Colton – Jar Of Hearts (Christina Perri)
Craig chose the song and the arrangement himself. Personally, I didn’t love the performance. I just think the song is better suited for a girl and the arrangement just didn’t work. But the judges loved everything about this performance, so what do I know? – VIDEO
Kitty Brucknell – Who Wants To Live Forever (Queen)
OMG, her eye makeup and nails… I have no words. She sounds pretty good. Very dramatic. Yeah, yeah, see ya next week. – VIDEO
Janet Devlin – Fix You (Coldplay)
She was off about half of the performance, but the judges absolutely loved her. – VIDEO
So, who is going home tomorrow?
Overs: Jonjo Kerr
Groups: 2 Shoes
Boys: James Michael (most likely)
Girls: ?
