Craig is predictably murdering another great song by a female artist. Scary.
The Risk 3.0 are doing Thriller? YIKES.
Frankie, the answer is: You should go. Home.
Here we go.
Dermot O’Leary.
Louis Walsh. Tulisa. Gary Barlow. And… Alexandra Burke!
The Risk – Thriller – WATCH
Ashley J Baptiste leaves The Risk. They can’t go on as a trio. Tulisa brings back Ashford Campbell.
The Risk 3.0 are still the best X Factor UK boyband.
The judges loved it, Gary can’t help himself and mentions Robbie Williams leaving Take That.
Johnny Robinson – Ole Devil Called Love – WATCH
Johnny definitely can sing, but he is getting boring and that’s not a good thing. He is a joke contestant, when a joke contestant gets boring, it’s over.
Johnny sang a ballad and he sang it well, ZOMG! Positive feedback from all 4 judges.
Sophie Habibis – Bang Bang – WATCH
Another slow number from Sophie. Same thing every week. Yep, one trick pony. I miss Amelia Lilly.
Ballad for the 4th week in a row. Gary says her song choices are as dull as a dishwater.
Marcus Collins – Superstition – WATCH
Gary and Marcus are trying to replicate last week’s successful performance. Marcus and dancers are strutting and dancing around the stage with canes. Pretty good. Positive feedback from all 4 judges.
Misha B – Tainted Love – WATCH
First, we get a recap of last week’s bullying scandal. UGH.
She is amazing. What can I say? Ready to be signed. She sings, she raps, she owns the stage.
Glowing critiques from the judges … Misha, you are a rare talent, vocally and visually. YOU PUT IT DOWN. You absolutely smashed it. It’s like a record company signed you at age 9, developed you for 10 years …
Alexandra Burke wants to see a stripped down performance from Misha, says the show is about growth and it’s hard for someone as good as Misha to improve.
Janet Devlin – Every Breath You Take – WATCH
Oh. A different song, but the same performances from Janet, as every week.
Gary warns her she is becoming predictable.
Frankie Cocozza – Should I Stay Or Should I Go – WATCH
Frankie is not hiding the fact that he is a party animal, so we see more of his evening adventures. But he also wants to win the X Factor and works hard for it. Tonight, he has a bed and female dancers on stage. The performance seems like a repeat of last week’s performance. Alexandra thinks Frankie lacks vocal range … Right on the money.
Kitty Brucknell – Sweet Dreams – WATCH
She starts her performance spinning on a target. Fierce. She really doesn’t want to be in the bottom 2 again.
She gets positive feedback from the judges, but Alexandra warns her that the viewers might find Kitty’s performances cabaret. Yep, Kitty certainly can sing, but I don’t see her as a recording artist.
Little Mix – ET – WATCH
We get more of “Give girlband a chance!” meme. Rhythmix have to change their name and they change it to .. “Little Mix”.
Good performance. Girls sit in 4 swings a few feet above the stage. The judges love them.
Craig Colton – Set Fire To The Rain – WATCH
Craig is butchering Adele’s hit in his predictable style. Again, I hate this. He definitely can sing, but I just don’t like what he does to songs.
Tulisa points out his predictability. And Gary proclaims this was the performance of the night?! Just shoot me.
