What a really crap show. The KR fiasco has summed up the mess they're all in at the X-Factor. The replacement was, according to some newspapers, supposed to have been Nicole Sherzinger. However, instead we got Alexandra Burke - or perhaps better spelt "Berk". Why did she decide to be a twat rather than herself? Some of her actions and comments were pathetic and her contribution was a piss in the ocean.
The Risk
This is the cobbled-together group, made of individuals (whose solo performances were not good enough) re-hashed and spliced with a similar entity to create a new line-up, which has this week undergone another tweak. Ashley has become Ashford. Er . . . . . . . does it matter? It could have been a fucking Ashtray and there would have been no discernible difference. To replace a member with a "No Vibe" reject is like putting a bald spare tyre on a new car when you get a puncture!
The Performance of Thriller was a vocal oxymoron. I was less than thrilled, and whatever the judges blurbed, the vocals were rather weak.
Johnny
Well, he sang a song in his own way that was pretty good. Not as good as the Elf's comment though -
"You've got a very ortentik jazz voice. You nailed it."
Sophie
Hmmmm . . . . . . . not so much 'Bang, Bang' as 'Groan, Groan'. Not very exciting at all. The Elf again came up with a choice quote -
"You're like a secretary that sings at the weekend." (This from an Elf who annoys at the weekend.)
Marcus
Good.
Misha
Sorry, Misha; yes, you've got a good voice and you work hard etc. However, I am becoming slightly bored with your efforts to create some weird magical masterpiece of an act every week, and hide behind it. How about a simpler approach for once?
Janet
Be careful! This was actually not very good, and it showed us nothing new at all. Get better.
Frankie
"Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" Er . . . . . . . do I really need to answer that? Fuck off please, and improve my life quality.
Kitty
Very Good.
Little Mix
What a fiasco over the name. I must say that 'Little' is a bit crappy as a prefix for the 'Mix' part that they so wanted to keep. I was all for "Ready Mix" and thought it was a concrete option! As the fans were apparently struggling to spell Rhythmix, changing the name to Myxomatosis would have been unhelpful.
Anyway, I thought the performance was very good!
Craig
Very Good
The Results Programme
Cher Lloyd - What a load of bollocks! Shitty song, sung with a nasal twang that nauseated to a level I didn't think possible. Cat in a blender, with a kazoo thrown in. (NB: Is she now made out of plastic?)
Frankie being saved was a crime!
Sophie - She sang yet another song that never quite got where it was going, or even knew where it was supposed to go. She knew she was going home, but instead of smiling for her last TV performance, she looked as glum as fuck!
Misha - Not very good. She could not easily cope with giving a performance that wasn't a big production. Ego dented, for sure! Still, she didn't 'quack' for once.
KR (Kermit, what with the throat this week) called from the USA to confirm Sophie's departure, and was thus able to prove that she was indeed unwell, and "lay it down".
