4.12.11 X-Factor Semi-Final, Result

"Dermot Oh Leary", says the announcer; 'Oh' indeed . . . . .

Perhaps there should be a single band with seven members, as the 'all-singing-together' effort was all right.
The recap revealed:

The Acts

Misha B - Dancing in the Street - Weak/Annoying
Amelia - Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Or song as boring
Little Mix - You Keep Me Hanging On - Poor
Marcus - My Girl - Twee/Boring but okay singing

Misha B - Second song was good
Amelia - Second song was good
Marcus - Second song was okay
Little Mix - Second song was good

The Judges

TTT - Twat/Pillock/Rude/Boring
WICSCO - Pointless
TC - All right
Elf - Innocent, away with the fairies, but harmless

Justin Bieber

The song choice was fucking atrocious.  It must be eleven-year-old girls that have got him where he is.  This was so boring and average that the hype just highlights that the emperor's wearing no clothes.  Dermot, you twat - "Is that from the Christmas album?"  Doh, it was a Christmas fucking song, so it wasn't quite the theme from Apocalypse Now, was it!  If this effort was sung by one of the semi-finalists, it would have got a shocking review by the four judges.  However, Justine Bribe gets standing applause, as prescribed for every visitor.

Kelly Rowland

"Tonight your X-Factor Judge (when it suits) performs".  Well, I've heard this on the radio and liked it, but her live rendition was not as good.  Slight mix-up, dearie, with the miming, eh?  Near the end, you sang - but nothing came out via the microphone and the distant backing track vocal warbled on.  Elf - "You put it down girl."  Bless him.  I'd change it to 'put her down'. 

So, the judges are not up to much, and the four 'acts' are not setting the world alight.  I have no idea why I care - actually, I don't.  None of the four stands out as the top one.  It's results time.

Little Mix = Yes
Marcus = Yes

Last Result

Amelia A - Misha B

As predicted, Daffy Duck is away home - That's All Folks


TTT = Thomas the Tank / Gary Barlow
TC = Top Cat / Tulisa Contostavlos
Elf = Louis Walsh
WICSCO = When It Counts She Chickens Out / Kelly Rowland
