X Factor Blog – Rock Week

So they finally got her ousted then? Poor Rachel, who I am assuming was told to calm it down on Saturday’s show after making a real spectacle of herself the week before with her Stacey impression, has been booted.

I had thought Lloyd would have been saying Ta-ra to the show after that horrendous performance mind you.  I mean, what on earth was ‘our’ Cheryl thinking.  I Kissed a Girl, a rock song?

These song choices by these judges have me reeling week after week, these are folks who are supposed to know their stuff and they keep messing up time and time again jeopardizing their acts’ future in the competition. But hey, we like seeing folks make fools of themselves on live TV don’t we? However it was Rachel Adadeji who had to say her farewells last night in the sing off, which was a bit of a shame as Rachel could actually sing, but it just wasn’t meant to be.

Twit and Twat killed it again this week with that old Irish charm keeping them in for yet another week. Do they have the potential to make it to the final I wonder? I mean in all fairness they suck, but still would I rather watch them make total asses of themselves as opposed to Lucie cavort around the stage, yes I would.

Even though folks around me are tipping the Welsh chick to win it, my money is still on one of Simon’s lads to reign supreme this year. I must admit, Danyl is obviously close to cracking point after being voted as ‘more unpopular than Hitler.’ As serious as that may sound, dude seriously do you think people are really bothered by you that much?

Methinks someone is playing the drama queen role in hopes of securing an Emmy nod as well. It is not that serious. Yes Danyl has his haters that’s for sure, but only for one reason, that he is a threat to the rest of the contestants. So my advice to Danyl this week would be dry your eyes, man up and get out there and sing your ass off next week and, brushing up on a wee bit of Latin on this fine Monday morning, Illegitimi non carborundum ( translated as don’t let the bastards grind you down.)

Olly is looking very comfortable up there on that stage and for once I am in total agreement with the judges who commented on just how much he improves as the weeks go on and on. I am sure they will have our Essex boy in the beauty parlour this week for a spray tan and waxing after baring his chest this week to the sheer delight of all his female fans out there (myself included.)

Vanity is as important in this competition as vocal talent obviously after I found out that each of the contestants goes through a rigorous teeth whitening process before the live shows begin.  Nothing like a Colgate smile

I hope next week is a bit more exciting as the live shows are becoming just as predictable as the auditions, our ‘Cheryl’ gets to promote her new solo career, Danii upstages our ‘Cheryl’ with her sense of style, Louis and Simon gripe about rules and the contestants continue to play it safe. Please step it up folks, or you can expect to see the gruesome twosome in that final.
