X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

There was a previous thread on the X Factor back in August, but it seems right to start a new thread to discuss the remaining acts in the final.

Best performances last night were from Aiden, Mary and Treyc.

As for the acts that will get to the final, there is only one act guaranteed on the basis of the voting patterns of the great British public, and that is One Direction. They have the Eoghain Quigg/George Sampson cuteness factor that grandmas, mums and adolescent teenagers love. They will be in the final.

As for the other two places, it will depend how Aiden, Matt, Rebecca, Cher and Treyc do in the coming weeks. Aiden looks a bit too much like last years winner, but he is probably the best of the bunch.

My predictions for the final 3 are Aiden, Rebecca and One Direction.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Love Rebecca.

Would have been happy to see any of Louis's acts go, except for Mary.

Looks like the British public say a big no-no, to anything Ga-ga-esque, with Katie and Nicolo in the bottom few.

Thought last night's show was great.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I think Simon Cowell dropped a hint why they didn't keep Gamu, he said something like "I'm sick of seeing sweet 18 year olds singing soppy songs!" Not exactly what he said but I know what he meant and was hinting at. They want people like Katie prepared to dress weird, even though she forgot her words at two auditions and Cher because she has something rock n' roll about her - that's why they put Gamu out. Because they don't want some kid singing "sweet songs!" Bla bla instead they got a 28 year old male singing hi-pitched! = Matt! singing Sweet songs!

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Whats X Fator:rolleyes:

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I reckon Cher has the X-factor ( X-factor Jay Say is supposed to be talent and ability to perform and be famous bla! bla! ;) ) over all the others, not that I fancy her - I just think she comes across like she's got the potential to be a great performer.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Ohhhh give me Mastermind or Eggheads anytime;)

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Well maybe the X-factor is fixed? Just like the general election :do-one::do-one::do-one::do-one::do-one::do-one::do-one::do-one:

This is Britain not China or North Korea:rolleyes:

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Yeh maybee? :dflam: I didn't vote for the Politician who is the MP in my constituency, yet why doesn't my vote count?

As far as the X-factor goes this year may be the last one? Or at least it may be the last one that ends at Christmas, it may be moved earlier in the year - as apparently next year Simon Cowell is to launch American X-factor in the winter period!

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Well what did everyone think of last night? I think One Direction are crap, but all the young girls like them.:rolleyes:
I think Katie and One Direction to be booted tonight, Aiden struggled with his song but he is a good singer usually!:D

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Cher aint' as good as I first thought - best vocal performance was Mary out of the lot, worst I think was Wagner and Aiden. Katie's growing on me. Hard to tell who'll win.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Yeah I agree with your comment on Cher, she needs to pull out a good song to get people back on her side. Mary has always been my fave but needs to do a modern song this week and also John Adeleye has also impressed me so either of them to win! :D

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Glad to see Diva Fever go as they were starting to irritate me in a Jedward sort of way.

Aiden was disappointing, but hopefully it was just a glitch and he will get better. Mary is great but doesnt have the sort of image needed to win this competition.

I think One Direction are going to win. They aren't the best act, but everyone seems to love them.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Mary singing James Brown's This is a Man's World was inspired.

Singing Dusty, she was just a good karaoke act.

Being given the right song is so important. As Aiden's terrible Jealous Guy proved.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I only normally watch the early stages of X-factor for the ****-take factor! For example I don't know how far Diana Vickers got last year before she was voted off?

Anyway Storm should have done a Michael Jackson song like "Man in the Mirror" instead of the rock anthems Louie was putting on him.

Trayc has a belting voice as well but I'd think people are sick of black diva's winning it. Don't know about John perhaps?

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

She sang Dusty well - she has a good voice. I'm suprised that Wagner wasn't voted out as he can't sing - compare his voice to Tom Jones. I thought he'd be out - I doubt if he'll win it!

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Rebecca's a fantastic find.

World class jazz/blues singer.

I'd defo pay to see here.

Stylish too, from head to toe, even at the auditions, and so sweet, and an unassuming when she isn't performing.

A scouse Sade meets Nina Simone.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Can't find tonight's performance yet, but here she is last week.

Here you go..........class act , also loved Trayc with her take on Led Zepp

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Trayc was excellent - I think there'll be a showdown between Katie and Rebecca for style: covering the old classics.

Next out I'd say Wagner or Aiden!

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

X-Factor is a fix? As Wagner is still in and he sings out of tune - and this John fellow is voted out - seems like a fix to me!

:dflam::dflam: Also anyone noticed that the panel seem too polite these days - what happened to the slaggins they used to dish out such as Wagner; "You can't sing, your out of Tune and your OUT!!!"

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

The freaks always do well...for a while.

Chico, Jedward, li'l Joe McEldry.

:D

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

It's the novelty factor of Wagner - have you noticed that the dancers always touch themselves up during his dance routines - this week it looked like they were flashing at him with their backs to the camera's. Last week the women were squeezing rubbing their tits - what's that all about?

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Joe McEldry won it last year didn't he? But didn't really watch it last year...

Apparently there is a facebook campaign to keep Wagner in - that's why he's still singing out of tune. :eek:

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Yeah its the same facebook group that managed to keep Joe McEldry off Christmas number 1 last year!! I think they can sabotage the comp again but then what will Simon do??!! ;)

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

It what makes this show worth watching!

I love Rebecca Ferguson.

I don't care if she wins or not. I will be a fan.

Her unique talent touches me.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I'm not ashamed, I had tears rolling down my face, watching her this week, and I don't rate it as my favourite performance of her's.

YouTube - Rebecca Ferguson - The X Factor - week 5

She's so sweet, shy, and self-effacing, then she sings, and becomes this amazing perforrmer, comparable with the all time greats, in my opinion.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I don't really get Rebecca. :cool:I thought the best performance was Matt Cardle - the way he sings those high notes - to me he stands out off that performance as the most likely to get a big hit. ;)

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Matt's good, but I wouldn't sell a kidney to see him perform at Carnegie Hall, as I would for the chance to see the divine Miss Ferguson.

I rate her right up there with Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitgerald.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I think his performance was vocally the best out of the lot. I know what you mean about Rebecca but perhaps in this day and age there isn't the market for it like there was in the 60's?

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

The jazz market's thriving still, and massive, world wide.

With the right management she could have a long, and acclaimed career.

Cowell might not be that manager, but he does have a lot of influence, here and in the States.

She's not everyone's cup of tea, but I adore her singing talents.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Glad your in Love ;) You envisage her being similar to a female Michael Buble? I've not seen her dance yet though :confused:

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I think she needs to come out from behind the mic, give her a lil jazzy number and she will do good. Katie should have deff gone this week she forgot her words...........again!! :D

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Micky Bubbles?

She's in a way higher league.

How old is she?

I was in Liverpool in the eighties.

She's so talented I'll have to check where I was sowing my seed.

:p:D:p

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I thought at last Katie is going to get the boot - she forgot words and sounded like she was falling apart - yet she still got through, very unfair. Was that a fix? Cheryl claims she didn't want to vote one of her girls out, but she did by being not voting - it would have been fairer to vote for the other one, then it would have gone to the viewers vote, instead of that sham.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Nah, Simon likes her.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Probably because he wants to have a go at making her into UK's answer to Lady Gaga if she wins.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

well it does look like it and if I were Trayc I would be really peeed off!

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Forget the sham that is the crap factor, and vote for The Bird is the Word by Peter Griffin for christmass no one. :D:D:D:D:D

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

OOOOO Matt to win . Hes Gorgeous, great voice and last sats performance, well, brilliant!!!

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

She did a great version of Candle in the Wind - I reckon it will be her, One Direction, Cher and maybe Matt Cardle in the top 3 - but I did n't think Matt was as good doing the Elton song as he was last week! Maybe he's a one card trick? :confused::D

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

It was.

I don't know what it is.

The sound that comes out of her mouth just touches me.

I'd say touches my soul, if I thought I had one.

:D

Very few singers have this effect on me.

Aretha, Billie, Ella, and now the scouse songbird, Rebecca.

I just love her.

:)

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Rebecca is outstanding ....................i`m also getting a soft spot for that angry gypo Cher too.......:rolleyes:

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

think i've only watched it once but that Katie thing shouldn't still be in it

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Seems like that Cher is a right Diva, apparently no-1 likes her backstage!!!

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

That's because - Simon says; I spy with my little eye something beginning with K...

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

That's stupid, it isn't his fault.

It's the public keeping Wagner in.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I think that Matt wants Wagner to walk to be honest, Wagner has been moved outa the X Factor house as he has threatened to deck One Direction!! :D

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Sounds more like an episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent, than a talent show;)

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

There is a campaign on Facebook to keep Wagner in and make it so he wins to undermine Cowell and the X-factor...

X-Factor: Facebook campaign backs Wagner - Telegraph

But Cowell obviously wants Katie Waissel to win as he and his music business executives have paid money to get her out of a contract or something!

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

It happened last year, when there was a successful campaign to stop the winner, li'l Joe What'sit, from being the Christmas number one.

'Rage Against The Machine have played a free show for 40,000 fans at London's Finsbury Park to celebrate beating X Factor's Joe McElderry to last year's Christmas number one spot.'
BBC - Newsbeat - Rage play Xmas No.1 'victory' gig

I'm all for people power, as long as it's not going to affect my Rebecca.

:D

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

The show is a fix! Katie Wassiel should not be in the show - obviously the more breaks someone gets the better they will become and she has been given those chances by Simon "Fiddle it" Cowell!

I am starting to like Wagner now for the comic factor and I hope he wins! I'm going to join the face book campaign and I may vote for him next week!

The best vocal performance last week I think was Mary - she's back on form!

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Katie and Wagner voted off tonight, leaving Mary, Matt, Rebecca, Cher and One Direction.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

That seems a pretty fair outcome don't you think?:jimbo:

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Glad that Katie has gone, so fed up with her drama & crap singing! Its looking like Matt to win, with Rebecca & One Direction filling the 2 runners up spots!!

Why do these singers such as Justin Beiber fly all that way over just to mime for 5 minutes?

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Agree she got her cumupance. Matt is good at slow songs singin high - not so good on faster songs. Anyone could win but perhaps Cher will be the wild card:confused:

Justin Beiber flys in because there are 10 million viewers.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I just cant see enough people voting for Cher, & Mary is basically a Pub Singer but nice with it!! Lol! Rebecca has a good voice, but is a dull as dishwater on stage, Matt will prob get a lot of ladies voting for him, which will probably sway it for him i think, although one direction could nick it from him if a lot of teenage girls stay in & vote!

I know a lot of technology is used musically these days, what with autotune & lipsyncing etc, but you'd think acts would have pride in their own performance & abilities when appearing on such a big show....Beiber didn't sing a single note live!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Hi Taggy, any one of them could win - I suppose it's down to what they pull out of the bag in the next show. You can't say Cher won't win as she may get all the young kids voting in as they did for George Samson on Britain's Got Talent a few years ago.

I notice Wagner was not on any TV shows on Monday, but Katie Waissel was - it turns out Simon Cowell and show boses apparently banned him from doing so...

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Yep he's too much of a loose cannon for them isn't he!!...OK he's a crap singer, but i think there were "things" put in place in the media over the last 2 weeks to make sure he got booted out. But as Ms Widdecombe says about Strictly..."its Saturday night entertainment"!
Guess things could turn round for Cher, but i doubt it, if those kids were voting in large numbers she'd never have been in the botton two...but stranger things happen!
Lets face it, its not a serious music show, but it is fun, and sure packs in the viewers!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

I believe One Direction will win the x-factor not been wrong yet.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Well the first part of the show was a refreshing change that they all did some up-tempo songs which I thought worked well, but the 2nd part I could easily turned over. All the 2nd songs were pants.......:rolleyes:

Hard to decided though on who is going to go tonight, I hope Rebecca (sorry Garinda!!!) or Cher goes to be honest :eek:

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Your probably right - I got a hunch Mary out tonight, 5th December.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

This was my prediction on 10th October, at the start of the live finals. I was proved right about One Direction and Rebecca. Aiden fell by the wayside because he didnt come across with much of a personality, and Matt grew into the part.

My prediction for the winner? I think we are in for a first. A group winning X Factor.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Well,well,well One Direction out!!!! I dont think Matt or Rebecca deserve to be the final 2 to be honest but hey ho!! :D

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Matt should win

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Yeh that was a bit of an upset. I thought Matt had the weakest voice out of the 3. I think perhaps, just maybe people voted against One Direction as a statement against Simon. I don't really care though.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Congratulations to Matt.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

The song was more suited to his type of voice than Rebecca's also I couldn't see how One Direction would have sung it?

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

in teh ITV2 follow on Matt was in teh top 2 vote counts for 9 out of 10 weeks so he was clearly doing something right.

Personally I preferred him to the other options, One D only became ciable winners in teh last 3 weeks, before that they didn;t quite gel to me. Rebecca has a nice voice but never so much as moved a muscle, even Mary danced more than her.

I've heard that all top 5 are getting contracts so TBH it doesn't really matter who "won". look at previous years, JLS, Diana Vickers all did well despite not winning.

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Undermine the X-factor/Simon Cowell, by buying the original version of the song they (Matt Cardle) have covered this Christmas - check out the Facebook site...

http://www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...13266465409399

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXmY5iFDoPU

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

More proof indicates X-factor a fiddle! As winner Matt Cardle has an autobiography out. Now if X factor hadn't chosen him to win before the votes, what publisher would stump up the money to print books and get them in the shops in time for Christmas? A publisher would only publish books if it was guranteed he was the winner!

Matt Cardle autobiography expected to top Xmas bestsellers list - Lovereading

Because if he didn't win it, then they would lose loads of money publishing a book that wouldn't sell! So again it seems that it was fixed for Matt Cardle to win. :confused: :rolleyes:

Also the song selected for the winners single - was perfect for him to sing, but was not sound so good by Rebecca or the boy band!

Do I really care! Not really just commenting on the con this show is!

Re: X Factor 2010 Live Finals
 

Rebecca & One Direction were never going to be singing `When We Collide` had they won.....they each sang their potential `winners song` during the final....
