X Factor Week 3

Woo hoo! Big Band!!

Olly to start, he was fine. Nice dances. He's not my favourite though. Plus we don't need Cowell to be any smugger. And oh great, Louis is back.

How cute is Lloyd?! Aww bless! I wonder what his tattoo says... His pitch is a little off and he cannot sing that low. Nice backflip though. He only seems to do well on the higher notes. Bet Cowell rips him to bits.

Someone needs to sack the stylist for Miss Frank. I like black. But unflattering. The song had good bits and bad bits. I loved the rap and the bit after that but it died at the end. Died. I really like that song (not Westdeath's version though, blah) but I already know what happens in the elimination show and I'm a little gutted to be honest.

Right, seriously, kill the stylist. Rollin' on the River doesn't scream Big Band to me, but hey, I like Rachel. That said, this didn't do it for me at all until the end. Weirdly, I think that she SHOULD be in the bottom two this week. Clearly I wasn't watching the same performance as the judges though. Could Dannii be anymore 'me me me'? Shut up.

Oh yay. Jamie. Still don't like him. What am I missing?! So close to going onto the next video. Can't believe this, but... I agree with Louis. Urgh. I need to chop my fingers off now. Why did he change his song anyway??

How awesome does Stacey look?!?! I wouldn't say this is Big Band either but at least it's not flipping U2. She needs to sort out her breathing but it was pretty good. Tear.

I adored Danyl's performance. I love that song and I cannot believe that he ends up in the bottom two!! What the hell Britain?? That was as good as his first audition. Oh, and it was Big Band :P

Holy crap, where did those big notes come from? Not keen on Lucie's song but the performance was amazing. Agree with Cheryl, stunning and beautiful. And also wtf, Simon? Actress? Idiot. Lucie to win! (After Joe...)

Absolutely dreading pressing play on the next video... guess who!

This is car crash bad. Dannii looks dismayed. We all are Dannii, we all are. I don't even want to know what the things at the side of the stage are. No amount of bikini'd women and toned men in waistcoats can save this rubbish. And what's with the hair?!

Yay, it's time for Joe! Love the song, love the dancing, loving the fact that all the dancers were male and the end note was awesome. Joe to wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!

And might as well do the elimination show as well :D

I don't get the point of the group songs. It's very American Idol and doesn't really bring anything to the show. Much like Westlife. Urgh. I bet Jamie wants to kick himself for singing Alphabeat. Like what they're wearing though and everyone likes a tambourine.

Let's listen to Westlife sing a song. I wonder if it's a cover like 90% of their back catalogue. Shock, it sounds like every other Westlife song. Where are the stools though? Will there be a key change? And if it sounds familiar... it should be. Daughtry, another band on Cowell's 19 label, released it in 2008. I'm pretty sure it was used in an advert. After checking wikipedia, it turns out that it was used in the montage bits of Britain's Got Talent and this years X Factor auditions. Oh, the shock. Do something original, Westlife.

Mr Buble was rather awesome but frankly, anyone would be after Westlife.

In the sing off, Danyl was miles and miles better than Miss Frank but they shouldn't have been the bottom two. Boo at Cheryl for going to deadlock. Chicken.

So there we go, those big haired idiots are still in. Apart from JLS, Louis doesn't have much luck with the groups really. And with John and Edward his only act left, there's no way he'll win.
