Mega Music Talent

Archive for the ‘X Factor’ Category

The remaining 5 have 2 songs to sing on this show and in the first round they all had to sing dance songs and in the second round songs of their choice. This is my opinion of their efforts.

Melanie Amaro

Sang ‘Someone Like You’ brilliantly but you wouldn’t have known it was supposed to be a dance track from this performance.  Still I think she has the best voice.

Marcus Canty

I loved this performance of ‘Aint Nobody’ it made me want to get up and dance.

Rachael Crow

A good performance of ‘Nothing on You’ from this cute 13 year old. Good for her age but not really good enough for a prospective finalist.

Josh Krajcik

I love his rock voice and he didn’t disappoint with his dance track ‘We Found Love’ , absolutely brilliant. L A Reed and Simon Cowell didn’t agree with me but what the heck.

Chris Rene

A good performance of ‘Live Your Life’ but I found it a bit boring

Second round

After practising their second round songs all week the contestants were told with 24 hours to go to ditch the song they had rehearsed and choose a different one.

Melanie Amaro

Sang her second song ‘When You Believe’ beautifully. Melanie looked great she more than any of the other competitors is starting to look more of a superstar.

Marcus Canty

Sang ‘A Song For You’, he was pretty good but I was bored during that performance. I prefer him singing upbeat songs.

Rachael Crow

Sang ‘Music and Me’. I’m sorry if anybody reading this is a fan of hers but it was too boring, the song was too old for her and she was dressed too old. Personally I think that kids her age don’t belong on the X Factor, they should be allowed to grow up and not rush into careers at her age.

Josh Krajcik

His performance of ‘Something’ gave me goose bumps. A perfect song choice and I loved it.

Chris Rene

‘Where Do We Go From Here’ sang his own original song. Well done Chris, this was the first time that I thought you might be in with a chance of winning.

My top 3 based on performances from this particular show is:

1. Josh Krajcik
2. Chris Rene
3. Melanie Amaro

Those are also the 3 that I believe have the most talent and have  more of a chance of being future big stars.

The Results Show

The 3 chosen to go through were Josh, Chris and Melanie and Rachel and Marcus had to sing against each other for survival.

Both Marcus and Rachel put everything into their performances, I couldn’t choose which was the best. Rachel looked as if she was going to burst into tears throughout making me feel again that she is too young for stardom yet.

The judges went into deadlock giving each act 2 votes so the one who got the least votes went home. That was Rachel and there were some emotional scenes where she fell to her knees on the stage crying and it was obviously upsetting to all of the judges because they had grown to love this child. Those upsetting scenes plus some not very nice scenes when youngster Astro was in the sing off tell me that youngsters should not be appearing on an high pressure show like this.

Rachel, please enjoy the rest of your childhood. You have the rest of your life to become a star, you’ve done really well and I’m sure it’s not over for you.

It’s almost over for another year and all we’ve got left to watch are the semi finals between the top 3 contestants Marcus Collins, Amelia Lily and girl band Little Mix and then the top 2 semi finalists go into the final. Each act will do a duet with their mentor and a second song in the semi final.

First Song

Marcus Collins sang Hey Ya by Outcast. It was a really good performance but some of the high notes were a bit forced.

Little Mix sang You’ve Got The Love by Candi Staton. It was a big performance of one of my favourite oldies, a bit too much going on in the background for me but they sounded good.

Amelia Lily sang Ain’t No Other Man by Christina Aguilera. It was a really good performance but out of the three I think that Marcus won the first round.

Duets With Mentors

Marcus Collins and Gary Barlow – She’s Always A Woman by Billy Joel

A lovely performance and I honestly think that Marcus outsang his mentor Gary.

Little Mix and Tulisa – Mash up of Empire State Of Mind and If I Ain’t Got You, both by Alicia Keys

Another good performance but in my opinion not enough to win.

Amelia Lily and Kelly Rowland – River Deep, Mountain High by Tina Turner

A superb performance with just the voices on show and no big production. Out of the 3 I think that this duet won the second round, but Kelly Rowland stole the show and she isn’t in the competition.

Personally I think that after those performances Amelia and Marcus should go through to the final, but I suspect that Little Mix will get through on cuteness and popularity.

Fast Forward

The public voted Marcus Collins and Little Mix through to the final. A shame for Amelia Lily but she did well to get through to the semi finals and at only 17 she could have a heck of a future ahead of her.

X Factor 2011 Final

Marcus kicked off with the classic Jackie Wilson song ‘Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher And Higher’ and showed us what he does best. A cracking performance for Marcus, just wish they hadn’t put him in a pink jacket.

Little Mix answered that with an excellent performance of Don’t Let Go by En Vogue

Next they performed Christmas songs and George Michael’s Last Christmas was the choice of Marcus. I’ve always found that song pretty boring and that didn’t change, but that’s my personal taste.

Lttle Mix sang the Christmas Carol Silent Night, nice but boring too.

This whole series hasn’t been all that good but I never thought I’d be bored in the final. Kelly Rowland didn’t help with her silly cutesie comments.

Next they both sang the single which will be realeased by the winner.

The performance from Marcus was really strong. I found myself wanting him to win because he has such a lovely personality as well as a voice.

I think that the version from Little Mix was slightly better and that they will win the X Factor 2011.

And the winner is Little Mix

Heroes

UK X Factor

The UK X Factor has been disappointing for me this year up to previous years, Maybe the show’s format is getting jaded, maybe the acts aren’t as good, or it could be the new panel despite them keeping things lively with their arguments. Saying that I’ve found the US version more interesting despite the same format.

With just the final left to go I’m going to take a bit of a look back at some X Factor moments, but first I’m going to take a look at the last 3 finalists who will be performing in the Wembley final.

Marcus Collins

The only male left in Garly Barlow’s team of finalists is Liverpudlian hairdresser Marcus Collins. He has managed to hold his own despite a predominance of female performers. Marcus is at his best singing old classics like Jackie Wilson’s Reet Petite and Signed, Sealed Delivered by Stevie Wonder. In the final he will be dueting with his mentor Gary Barlow singing Billy Joel’s She’s Always A Woman. A good choice for Gary but not so good for Marcus.

Little Mix

The first ever female group to get through to the final show were forced to change their name from Rhythmix part way through the series. They are good but I don’t think them great, but they are and will be very popular because they are a cute bunch. In the final they will be dueting with their mentor Tulisa and the song choice is a Mash up of Empire State Of Mind and If I Ain’t Got You by Alicia Keys.

Amelia Lily

Amelia was dropped by her mentor Kelly Rowland after the first live show. This was when each of the 4 mentors had to choose one of their acts to leave and that particular night Amelia’s performance wasn’t as strong as the other 3 girls. Fortunately for Amelia and ourselves one of Gary’s boys Frankie Cocozza got thrown off the show and the public voted Amelia back on in his place. In the final Amelia will be singing Tina Turner’s River Deep Mountain High with her mentor Kelly and that is the performance that I’m most looking forward to, I’m sure that it will be a belter.

Roundup

I’ve already mentioned Frankie Cocozza being thrown out but what I can’t understand is why Gary Barlow  thought that Frankie was talented enough to put through to the live shows. Disappointing was when Craig Colton was voted off. In my opinion he is the most talented of the boys and it was good to see his improvement. For me he is the most likely of the boys to sell albums.

My favourite of Tulisa’s groups the Risk were voted off quite early. It just goes to show that my opinion isn’t always right

The overs didn’t impress me massively. Sami Brookes was the best singer and Kitty Brucknell put on the best show but I think the time was right when they were voted off.

Kelly’s girls were all good in different ways. Shy Janet Devlin has a wonderfully different voice, but not very flexible. Comeback girl Amelia Lily has a cracking voice and shows a lot of promise. Misha B has one of those great, instantly recognisable voices and would probably have been a stronger contender for winner if she had connected more with the audience. Tulisa set the cat amongst the pigeons on one of the live shows when she said that some of the other contestants had complained about Misha B being a bully. There were denials but true or not it wouldn’t have helped the singer.

12 year old rapper Astro got through to the live shows but I don’t know why. It’s a singing not a rapping contest. OK some contestants sing and rap, like Chris Rene but Astro didn’t sing at all. I was glad when he got knocked out. I know that he is only young and has masses of talent but he is an arrogant little sh*t and I doubt growing up famous will do him any favours.

14 year old Drew was one of my favourites, but I don’t think that the songs she sang were the best choices for her. I really hope that she continues singing, with more maturity she could become a big star. Too cutesy for me was 14 year old Rachel Crow, great singer, but again she will be bestter with maturity.

My top 3 US X Factor voices are:

1. Melanie Amaro

2. Josh Krajcik

3. Chris Rene

By coincidence Melanie Amaro is a comeback act like UK competitor Amelia Lily. Simon Cowell who is mentoring the girls didn’t include her in his top 4 but on the first of the live shows he admitted making a mistake and brought her back.

Maybe these comeback girls are trying harder because of their setbacks, whatever, they are still my favourites.

This year the X Factor has got 3 new judges to sit alongside Louis Walsh and the show has succesfully launched in the US. The 3 new judges are Gary Barlow of Take That fame, Tulisa Contostavlos from N-dubz and Kelly Rowland the solo artist and ex member of Destinys Child.

Before the show started this year I thought that I would miss Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Danni Minogue but I haven’t. I like the new panel, there isn’t as much drama queen about it and Gary Barlow has surprised me with his straight talking but touches of humour at times.

Simon and Cheryl joined the US version of X Factor, but gorgeous Cheryl was dropped during the US auditions because of her strong Geordie accent and replaced by former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. Click here to read more about that.

The UK and US auditions provided a good selection of very different artists, ranging from the extremely talented to totally weird. But that’s the X Factor for you. One thing’s for sure it can’t have been easy selecting the final competitors going to the judges homes, or the live shows because there was so much talent in the competition.

At present I’ve only seen the first 2 live UK shows so the rest of this post is going to be about those and what for me were two big shocks.

Shock One

The first shock was Louis Walsh who is mentoring the overs choosing Goldie to go through to the live shows over Sami Brooks, who to me was the most talented of the overs. Fortunately Goldie dropped out so we don’t have to watch her embarrassing herself crawling around the stage.

Goldie was replaced by Sami who I believe deserves to be in the live shows as much if not more than some of the others. I honestly think that she will stay in the competition longer than the rest of the overs and think that Louis wanted to create a furore as happened with Wagner last year and Jedward the year before that. Instead of using Goldie for that he is now using Johnny Robertson by making his act very camp.

Shock Two

In previous years 12 have gone through to the live shows, 3 in each grouping – girls, boys, groups and overs. Last year each mentor was able to choose an extra competitor for their group after the final 12 had been selected. This year each mentor was able to choose 4 for their group and 16 went through to the lives, but the twist was that after the first live show each judge had to eliminate one person from their group. The shock for me was that Kelly Rowland eliminated the very talented 16 year old Amelia Lily. I had to agree with her choice despite thinking that Amelia is great, that’s because Kelly is mentoring probably the strongest section in the girls this year and on the night the other 3 girls out performed Amelia even though she gave in my opinion a wonderful performance and I think has the biggest future ahead of her.

Shock Three

Was Frankie Cocozza getting through to the live shows.

The second live show saw the first public eliminations and that was one of Tulisa’s groups Nu Vibe.

My Favourites

Currently my favourites are another of Tulisa’s groups The Risk. Put together by Tulisa from single act contestants this boy band have connected and in a very short time are producing tight performances. Would I buy their album – Yes.

The X Factor: According to our Tulisa, The Risk aren’t just four amazing singers, they’re “hot” and the girls love them. But they’re not letting the attention go to their heads. Ok, well they are just a little, with Derry promising to get “the guns” out for the laydeez. Will Bruno Mars’ Just The Way You Are have female hearts a-melting?

The auditions for the upcoming season of the Simon Cowell-hosted singing competition The X Factor, an Americanized version of the British reality series, got off to a rocky start after the show’s network, FOX Broadcasting Corporation, revealed that cybercriminals hacked into a database containing the personal information of 250,000 potential contestants.

The X Factor is a television talent show franchise that originated in the United Kingdom, and was created as a replacement for Pop Idol. Now held in various countries, this singing competition pits contestants against each other, all striving to win an ultimate prize. The programs are produced by executive producer Simon Cowell who also judges and mentors on the UK series.

According to a report in the Daily Star, which broke the story, representatives for Fox informed the FBI that a computer network containing “top-secret information” regarding the music mogul’s latest creation had been breached. According to the online data breach database, DataLossDB , the breach was reported by Fox on May 2. Online thieves may have potentially made off with the names, emails, ZIP codes, phone numbers, genders and dates of birth of the quarter-of-a-million X Factor applicants.

Many people reckon that the reason we watch the X Factor is because we love to make fun of other people’s lack of talent. And it’s true that plenty of folk tune in during the first few weeks of the show’s run simply to check out the horrendous acts that have somehow made it through to the stage where they can nationally shame themselves. But that stage only lasts a few weeks and, before long, the terrible singers and dancers have been booted off to allow greater talents their chance to shine. Yet people keep watching – so what is it that makes them do so if not to gleefully chuckle at the misfortune of others? Read the rest of this entry »

The X-Factor is for Britain what American Idol is for America. In other words, the British television music competition show has been an immense success, and even America has started its own version of X-Factor. It remains to be seen whether it garners similar fame as its British counterpart.

In Britain, the show is successfully running with its seventh season and fans are eagerly waiting to get The X-Factor season 7 episode 29 download, which also happens to be the finale. As is the case with every season, this season also focuses on searching for a new singing talent. As usual, the winner of this season will also be awarded a recording contract with the Syco Music record label. However, to win the most envied award is not easy. One has to pass through various steps like auditions, boot camps, judges’ houses and live shows.

The X-Factor season 7 is fast reaching its conclusion, so the competition is getting tougher. The show as it progresses towards episode 29, which can be accessed online after airing, has attained the live show category where all the performers are required to give live performance. It seems that all the viewers are strained to catch the last dose of excitement, in the upcoming finale (S07E29).The months of hard work and efforts by the contestants have finally reached their zenith, as you will be able to see, when you watch The X-Factor season 7 episode 29 online (S07E29).

This season has broken all records and made it to the headlines quite frequently. The audiences have constantly been entertained through shock eliminations, including Gamu Nhengu and Aiden Grimshaw. Katie Waissel was eliminated in the eighth week, but her elimination was one of the most difficult ones, as she had equal number of supporters and haters.With only four contestants left in The X-Factor part one of the finales, it seems that the final step, which will culminate the long journey, has arrived. The S07E28 of the show portrays Matt, One Direction, Cher and Rebecca as the final remaining contestants. Sadly, only two will be able to make it to the final episode. Cher is the only one who had landed in the Bottom Two position twice, while the other three have remained safe. So, there is a strong possibility that she will be eliminated pretty soon.The X-Factor S07E28 will also contain a few surprises in the form of famous musical guests, who will give a live performance to motivate the contestants and entertain the audience. In the finale, the two remaining contestants will pull up their socks, to give their best performance through single acts. This episode will also be honored by the presence of musical guests.As the competition gains momentum, let’s hope that the most deserving contestant wins!

Here we are the final weekend of X Factor 2010. Four very different acts got through to the finals and in the first show sing on their own and then duet with a big star, this is what I thought of their performances.

On Their Own.

Matt Cardle

Matt started the show, guitar in hand with a lovely performance of ‘Here With Me’.

Rebecca Ferguson

Sang ‘Like A Star’. She looked as stunning as her performance. Out of all of the acts I think that she has been the most consistent.

One Direction

Performed Elton’s ‘Your Song’, they were really good but I would rather this group of teenagers have sang something more up to date.

Cher Lloyd

Performed a mash up of ’369 – Cupid’ and ‘Get Your Freak On’. In my opinion that was the best perfomance out of  the four acts though I doubt she would win because of the rapping.

With A Star

Matt and Rihanna

Sang ‘Unfaithful’. Matt looked so much in awe of the hot Rihanna it’s a wonder he managed to sing a note. Loved the duet.

Rebecca and Christina Aguilera

Gave a stunning performance of ’Beautiful’. With more confidence I believe that Rebecca will be up there amongst the super stars.

One Direction and Robbie Williams

I always enjoy the duets with Robbie Williams and this was no exception, loved it.

Cher and Will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas

Performed a mash up of ‘Where is the love’ and ‘I Gotta Feeling’. The Black Eyed Peas are one of my favourite bands and this duet didn’t dissapoint me.

Who Got Knocked Out

Cher was eliminated but she has done really well to get so far

My Thoughts

Overall I felt that Cher gave the best performances but I have never thought that she has had a chance of winning unless she leaves the rapping out. That’s not because I don’t like it, it’s because X Factor voters come from a broad cross section of the public and it is a singing competiton, she has a wonderful singing voice but right now I think that from those performances I think that Rebecca is the most likely to win.

Sunday Night Final

Rebecca stole the show in the first round of songs with ‘Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This’. One Direction and Matt were great but didn’t touch Rebecca’s performance. Although I’ve always like Matt’s performances better, I really couldn’t choose between Matt and One Direction based on these performances, so I really couldn’t predict who I thought would be voted off next, and that was One Direction.

Matt Cardle and Rebecca Ferguson were the last two in and I guess that it wasn’t really a great surprise. They have clearly been the favourites since the live shows began and both have star quality. Judging on the amount of Internet searches it should be Matt, but for pure class and star quality it should be Rebecca. Either way they are both stars and should do well in the future.

In the sing off both acts gave winning performances and I found myself wishing that this year there could be a draw. Matt and Rebecca are both wonderful singers and really nice people, probably the best final ever.

The X Factor 2010 winner is Matt Cardle

Only Revolutions

Only Revolutions, the fifth long-player from Biffy Clyro, is a far cry from this Ayr trio’s earlier, reliably embittered emissions.

Puzzle

It’s been a less than Roman trail up to this point for long-haul, stubbly Scot trio Biffy Clyro. From the proto-grunge of their debut, through gathering melodic grandeur, progressive cross-genre experimentalism, brief indie accessibility and some truly heavy songwriting, to say they’ve surpassed expectations along the way is an understatement as large as the chasm between their original potential and subsequent accomplishment. They had doggedness and resilience from the off, they were a roug

It’s semi finals week and I’ve been looking forward to a great show. The final 5 all have to sing a club classic and a get me to the final song. This is what I thought of the acts:

Rebecca Ferguson

Rebecca started off the night’s performances with one of my all time favourites Show Me Love. She sang it brilliantly but still not much movement from her even though it’s an upbeat song.

Rebecca’s second song choice was Amazing Grace. I would have liked to see her singing something more up to date but this was a beautiful version of a beautiful song.

Mary Byrne

Mary’s performance of the Gloria Gaynor classic ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’ was great, she even moved about a bit more than Rebecca.

‘The Way You Were’ was Mary’s second choice. I didn’t like that performance as much as her first one. The song is dated and just didn’t seem right in the X Factor semis.

Matt Cardell

Matt’s performance of ‘You’ve Got The Love’ was good considering that he has been ill all week and thought that he wouldn’t be able to sing.

Matt’s second song was ‘She’s Always A Woman’, a bit ropey but still a lovely version. Surely Matt will make the final.

Cher

Cher’s performance of ‘Nothin’ On You’ was almost my favourite so far until the rapping started. I know that rapping is where she is at but she has an incredible voice when she purely sings and I would have loved to hear more singing.

I didn’t like Cher’s performance of ‘Love The Way You Lie’. I don’t think that it was a very good choice for her.

One Direction

Took on Rihanna’s ‘Only Girl In The World’ and gave the first performance that I’ve ever really enjoyed. It was a great song choice, perfect for them.

The last song of the night was One Direction singing ‘Chasing Cars’. I liked this performance too, I think that they have done much better this week than any other week.

My Bottom Two

Cher and Mary

Who Do I think Will Win

Rebecca

Results Show

For a change I got it right, Cher and Mary were in the bottom two and in the sing off.

Mary sang first and gave a stunning performance of ‘It’s A Man’s World’. The absolute right choice for me, I love this song and it shows Mary’s voice off perfectly.

Cher fought back but in my opinion not hard enough. However I expected her to get through because the song is more contemporary.

The final 4 acts:

• Rebecca Ferguson
• Matt Cardell
• One Direction
• Cher

Rock week is usually my favourite week so I’m looking forward to tonights show. The gossip and controvosy has been as high as ever this week, guaranteeing more views I should think. The most annoying to me was to hear that Wagner is on the sick for a frozen shoulder, frozen throat more like. All that dancing and doesn’t he do karate?

Wagner

Wagner started the show with the aptly named Creep from  Radiohead. I hate to say this but that was his best performance so far. On his own without masses of dancers, no cavorting around the stage like an overstuffed turkey, the singing improved too.

Back to mediocrity with Addicted To Love  from Robert Palmer. The absolute direst performance of this track that I have ever heard.

One Direction

Sang Summer Of 69 by Bryan Adams. I enjoyed their performance but I still don’t get them. I’ve heard dozens of pub groups sing that and found their performances more in tune and more stirring. Sorry boys I’ve got to be honest.

You Are So Beautiful from Joe Cocker was One Direction’s second choice. It was good but as Louis said it isn’t a rock song.

Mary Byrne

All I Want Is You  from U2 was Mary’s first choice. I love U2, when I hear them singing this track I get shivers down my spine. I thought that Mary’s version was boring until just before the end when she really began to rock, but maybe it’s unfair to make comparisons with one of my favourite bands.

Mary’s second song choice was Brass In Pocket  from The Pretenders. A really gutsy performance and didn’t she look good. A bit karaoke but I enjoyed it.

Cher Lloyd

Sang Girlfriend  from Avril Lavigne. I enjoyed her high energy performance, probably the most entertaining so far. 

Cher ended the show with Walk This Way by Run DMC and Aerosmith. It was lively and full of fun but I didn’t think it a particularly good version.

Rebecca Ferguson

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For  from  U2 was Rebecca’s first choice. One of my all time favourites and I thoroughly enjoyed this haunting version.

I Can’t Get No Satisfaction  from the Rolling Stones was Rebecca’s second choice. Wow she rocked. Her best performance so far I think and her version was much better than the Stones version.

Matt Cardell

Sang I Love Rock’n Roll from Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Matt looked better with his clothes on this week. His performance was great but he isn’t a rock singer.

Nights In White Satin by the Moody Blues was Matt’s second choice. A beautiful version of a beautiful song.

Katie Waisel

Not the greatest performance of Sex On Fire by Kings Of Leon that I’ve seen, though it showed that Katie can sing rock.

Katie’s second song was Everybody Hurts from REM and what a great choice. She put a lot of feeling into her performance and made it believable.

Best performance of the night: Matt Cardell – Nights in White Satin

Best Double Performance: Rebecca Ferguson

Worst performance of the week: Wagner – Addicted to Love

Who Will Be Booted – I think that Cher and Wagner will be in the bottom 2 this week and that hopefully Wagner will be booted. As it’s a double vote off I think that those two are the most likely to go based on tonights performances. If it’s based on popularity then it could be entirely different. I wouldn’t be surprised if Katie isn’t in the bottom 2 again.

These are my opinions, if you agree or disagree please leave a comment.

Results Show

Wow Justin Bieber was amazing, a great example for One Direction.

Katie got the fewest votes and had to leave without another sing off. Mary and Wagner ended up in the sing off to choose the second to leave this week. I was almost right but what the heck.

The look on the faces of Simon and Louis when Cher got through was a mixture of surprise, shock and realisation that their remaining acts were at risk.

The Sing Off

Wagner was up first singing another aptly names song ‘Unforgettable’. His performance was better than most of the ones we’ve seen over the weeks, almost as good as a pub singer.

Mary gave a pretty good performance of ‘This Is My Life’. Good enough to stay in, but not good enough to win the competition. Cruelly they went to Louis first to choose between his 2 acts, as all the others he chose Wagner to go and thank goodness for that.

Lets hope what next week will bring pure talent and entertainment and less scandal and gossip.
