X Factor Blog – Week Seven – The Final 12 October 5, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, TV , trackbackSo our final 12 have been selected and well not like there was too many surprises was there? We all knew that Louis would put through Dumb and Dumber John and Edward, he would be bowled over by the ex-strippers, even though he said they wouldn’t really have the vote of the ladies behind them.
Louis also admitted that he would enjoy the challenge that Miss Frank would give him, the trio of course being my top pick out of Louis’s three. But that rain was not doing anything for the Italian Tourism trade was it? Were the Gods really crying over the choices he had made or was that Louis trash-talking after a heavy night on the Guinness I wonder.
Anyone else think ‘our’ Cheryl was out of line with her ‘can I take a minute’ drama when she was about to boot out the 2009 version of Rhydian? I mean that poor guy, I bet he wanted to pull off each of those false lashes individually with tweezers when after all that she gave him a ‘No’.
Cruel is not the word and shocking that she failed to put through my cutie patootie Duane and the charismatic Ethan, who, if I am true to myself, was basically banking on his looks to carry him through when his vocals weren’t right. He will probably turn up in the next episode of American Idol anyway. So for ‘our’ Cheryl we have Lloyd, Rikki Lonely (some stage name there right) and her homie Joe who I think is the strongest out of the three.
Dannii didn’t really bring too many surprises in her picks really. After the audition on Saturday I had succumbed to the fact that Essex girl Stacey would be put through instead of my previous prediction, Despina. Overjoyed for Stacey though, as she is that one contestant that I think many of us can relate to and get behind.
As for Rachel, I just love her and think she is super-talented, so pleased to see her go through too. No real views on the Welsh singer Lucie really, except she can sing, so with that being said Danii is in with a chance of getting to the final at least, but I would be putting my money on Stacey no matter how good the others are. Essex stand up and stay standing…
…because Simon put through Essex native Olly. Even though I was devastated for all three of those given the boot out of the over 25s category as they all should have been there, I think Simon and the semi clad Sinnita (what the hell was that all about? I mean seriously talk about attention deprived, even Cowell looked shell-shocked when she walked out) made the best choice.
There was just no way he could let an afro and a Mohican go through… that would have been too much for the hair and make up to deal with each Saturday! But seriously, Simon had a tough job as both those girls sang their hearts out on Saturday night, Treyc blew me away for the first time when she did her audition, more so than those Robert Palmer-esque backing singers who failed to compliment any of the contestants.
And was it just me who was concerned as to how close those guys were to the pool as Simon sat up on his deck looking down on them as he gave them the verdict? A couple of steps back and drowning your sorrows might be taken a bit more literal for those who failed to make the cut.
So with Danyl, Olly and Jamie making up the final 12 get ready for the live shows kids as they are just five days away
