Re: The X Factor UK (Season 9 LIVE show Top 12 with 1 WC)
Gary was so fucking out of line this episode. Firstly in regards to what he said about Rylan, I truly wanted to slap him! He was so unprofessional with his sly, backhanded comments. Seriously man, we understand that he's not your favourite performer, but that was not appropriate. You cannot tell a singer that they do not deserve to be on the show and criticise Nicole for using her discretion and bringing him there. That is totally out of line and disrespectful to Nicole as a mentor. And then he had the nerve to bring it up again during his critique of Kye's performance. Get over it you twat.
And then telling Jahmene not to oversing songs. Hello, last time I checked, you were mentoring Melanie who hit like THE biggest, most exaggurated note of the night. And then you comment on how amazing she is. I agree, Melanie was great, but don't be strategic and criticise Jahmene like that. Its so transparent, just because he is strong competition for you.
Apart from that, Tulisa was lovely as always. And Louie seemed clueless. I hate that he screwed Union J over with that song choice, because they are so cute and have such potential. Oh wells. Kye and Ella were the standouts for me. I think the bottom 2 will be Union J (unfortunately) and Carolynne.

Actually I feel good for this year's quality, except for a couple of them. I can feel they're trying to make the show more relevant with the song choices but still for some performances.
Who the hell's idea asking a country singer singing a Nicki Minaj pop/rap song? despite that, I actually see the potential of the song being sung in that arrangement. Poor Carolynne being screwed by Gary.
Rylan His performance though is rather alright.
Jahmene did oversing a little and kind of off in some parts but even if he sings in a controlled way, I think it's already enough to wow the public. But one thing I also started to get annoyed by is his giggles.
Christopher did justice on that Mariah's song, so good luck. I'm actually quite impressed by him not being that nervous like she was during his audition. He improved on his nerves controlling way better than Jahmene.
I like District3. Love their twist on that classic Tina Turner song but I feel like they could've made the song even more intense during the chorus.
James is also pretty good. Very cool performance. Not sure if he will get the public support with his image but his makeover is quite surprisingly good too.
Lucy is pretty brave singing her own song on first liveshow? First time ever in X Factor history? Nice to see her doing her own thing.
Union J got screwed by Louis. The production screams gay to me. I like Jaymi, the vocalist in that group.
MK1 is a relevant group and pretty good but I don't see it going very far.
Jade is ok, nice tone in her voice, a little nasally in her vocal for my taste though. Forgettable performance.
Kye, needless to say, arguably the top 3 best performance of the night. Flawless imo.
Ella, is pretty good too but not totally flawless. Some off notes especially that last note. Need some more vocal lessons to get much better. But overall she's one of the fave in the competition.
Melanie My #1 fave this season. Totally brought down the house. She is like already a legend in the music industry. Rock on Mel. It' will be a disaster if she doesn't get through to the big finale.

Good:
Jahmene - Given the right song, he's great. Did slightly over sing though! Not sure people will like him though.
James - Really surprised me tonight, he didn't feature on my radar before, but I really enjoyed his performance.
Kye - Not a favourite of mine, but he's good a good voice and it was a good performance. Did notice he ducked out of the high note though!
Ella - fantastic vocal performance, really like her voice
Melanie - AMAZING, she must be careful not to shout sometimes, but when she controls her vocal well she's brilliant. I'd but her album!
Carolynn - loved what she did with the song. She's got a great tone to her voice. Possibly my favourite!
Ok:
Lucy - really respect her as an artist, she's a god song writer, but she's just not right for the show!
Jade - it's a shame, because I like her, but it was a the wrong song choice. Forgettable!
Disliked:
Rylan - Nice guy, but no amount production can hide his weak vocals.
Dictrict 3 - they're really outdated, 3 choir boys trying to appear current.
MK1 - The girl was of key and they boring. Plus I just don't like them for some reason.
Union J - I actually liked these up until now, but they weren't good. The black haired one has a great voice though! Hopefully they stay and they do better with a different song!
Didn't see Christopher. Can't be arsed with him!
