18.11.13 X-Factor Round-up




Luke tried so, so hard to sing worse than Sam Callahan, and came very close. He wailed his heart out but sadly couldn't match the naff noise that Sam doled out in the 'sing-off' last Sunday.  It seems Luke was rewarded with another week at least in the competition.  Dispensing with the nine crappy performers is an arduous process, but a necessary one.  If I had my way, we'd eliminate more than one act every week.  Let's face it, both performances in this head-to-head were dire and should have lead to evictions.  What's a slight surprise is that Luke was not the worst in the main Week 6 performance.

The unlikable Hannah was worse than him, but somehow pulled in enough votes to escape, and be able to pull the most stupid, panicky and grotesque face when her name was called out as 'safe'.  A few minutes later, Tamera's ante-natal classes were clearly paying off.  She attended not because she's pregnant (that we know of, anyway) but to get some practice in on breathing. Her breathing technique was evident as she was the last to be put through, and she panted like hell.  I'd just seen the three Rough Copy blokes display epileptic traits when they were announced as safe and through to the next week.

So, the hardest working contestant of all time (as Louis would have us all believe) has been pushed out of the contest, and we can now expect rather less flat singing in the next few weeks as a result.  Sam may well be a nice chap, but what's that got to do with things?  Not a lot.  He simply sang, from day one, no better than every third bloke you might pass on a walk from the bank to Greggs, on the way to asking the manager there to reclaim Hannah and save us all from her presence on the show.  Yet again I was sorry that Judges are exempt from elimination, or else Nicole would be exiled to a tower somewhere.  Now THAT would indeed be 'muller-licious', eh?

Miley Cyrus deserves no comment beyond "she was shit".
