What a load of shit this week. The 'theme' was supposed to be Rock but the definitions of this varied enormously, as judges and acts each put their own interpretations on things. The range of approaches was proof that the supposed theme is a completely pointless element of the show.
Marcus - He started off with what proved to be a shit stage show and he sang a shit song. The sound quality was not good either. Overall, we watched a chap who should be performing much better stuff. He has got a good voice, but somehow he is not managing to show us that. The Elf amazed us with a pathetic few words: "You sang, you smiled, you performed - that's how to do the song."
Janet - Hardly very Rock at all. Also, the song was rather repetitive. Still, although it was a bit bland, she'll be okay because her voice is good. For the time being, she'll get away with singing whatever she wants in her own way.
Sami - Turn Back Time! I wish I really could, so I could reclaim the two minutes used up by this pointless song delivery. Okay, Sami did her usual stuff and she has got a good voice, and she did in fact sing the song extract in her own way. But, that's not fucking Rock! I did like TTT's comment, though: "You know what Louis does - he takes bad acts and makes them worse."
Rhythmix - They were quite good. But this was NOT Rock at all! Tulisa, you cannot have an electric guitar playing and then decide that a song suddenly counts as Rock.
Sophie - Well, it was a rock song, (Living On a Prayer) but it certainly wasn't sang in 'rock mode'. So, the opposite has applied here. The song was perhaps not the issue, it was the singing style. Nevertheless, her voice is all right, so maybe she'll hang in there (?)
Craig - Yet again, a soft performance and an Oasis song that was basically toned down to a ballad. Still, he has a great voice, so it'll be okay.
Kitty - Well, the performance and vocals were excellent. James Bond themes are not Rock though.
Frankie - Woeful, as ever. He has all the attributes of a brat and egotistical performer in the public eye, except for one - he cannot sing. Slight drawback in my book! Get Your Rocks Off - no, thanks. Hope He Fucks Off - yes please.
The Risk - No thank you. Certainly not Rock and they were very weak. Like some others, they think they are better than they are, and deserve the attention of silly females.
Johnny - Well, this was certainly Rock, and sung in the correct style - perhaps by the person you'd least expect to be able to produce a Rock performance. Okay, he was very nervous, and it sort of hung in there, but full marks for effort, embracing the competition and giving it a great go.
Misha B - Excellent. Even though this song is dragged out each and every year for an act to screech through the microphone, whether it is rock, a ballad, an example of a film theme or any other cuntin' category that this repetitive boring song qualifies as, you cannot argue that she sang it really well. TC, you should be ashamed of yourself for raising issues when you're supposed to be judging after a performance on stage rather than what's gone on (supposedly) all week behind the scenes. Fair play to TTT for saying so.
So who is going? I do so hope it's Frankie, perhaps with The Risk in the bottom two.
Fingers crossed.
TTT = Thomas the Tank / Gary
TC = Top Cat / Tulisa Contostavlos
Elf = Louis Walsh
KR = Kelly Rowland
