This is the final five from hell for me, I don't like any of them.
Agreed. I have a soft spot for Eton Road, but thats it. They are all so boring and i wouldn't want any of them inflicted on the British public. I get the feeling if Leona wins she'll fuck off to America anyway, so whats the point in wasting money on voting her?!
However, I don't like any of them enough to vote for them, let alone buy their albums.
If I come back and the Mac'Donald brothers are still in, I'm going to scream.
So were Ray's choices. Bloody Elvis and Sinatra.
Ray to go plzkthnx. He just pisses me off now. And I am fed up of this genre.
I don't know why I watch this anymore as I just shout at the screen at everyone. Stupid people that they all are, almost.
If you're gonna ruin a song like that at least sing the right words :mad:
What a cruddy theme.
Fucking Barry Manilow.
And what's the deal with Ray not in the bottom two? Huh? Or MacDonald Brothers?
Barry Manilow? I bet they all fight for Mandy.
:grump: :impissed:
Barry Manilow is a god.
Why are the Macdonald Brothers still in? They're like two little old men in young bodies.
Both MacDonald Bros and Ben are fighting for Mandy already. Gah.
Nooooooooooooooooooo. I HATE THAT SONG.
My.
God.
Ray's hip thrusting made me gag on my Weetabix, gross. I had to laugh at Simon accusing Louis (?) of choosing predictable songs, HELLO? If the theme from the Bodyguard isn't predictable when choosing a film theme then I don't know what is. I was also pretty pissed off at whichever one said it was as good as Whitney's original. No, she would never do it as well as Dolly Parton's original grr. Do they know nothing? (Rhetorical question, of course).
Glad Eton Road went though, they are utter toss and the weird one annoyed me even more the way he looks like he's about to jizz all over the shop/have an epileptic fit everytime he does a solo.
Barry Manilow is going to be AWESOME. Which insanely lucky bugger is going to sing Copacabana? Colour me very jealous
eta: I may be the only one, but I actually found it pretty annoying that they didn't choose songs that had been written for films. If you spend long enough looking you can find just about ANY song used in a film somewhere, which was the case with Your Song etc. That wasn't written for Moulin Rouge fuckwits. I think the criteria should have been songs penned for a movie score, it made it too easy for them to find cheesy crap, and when the judges have such a wide choice they make shite choices. As they did last night.
Ray will sing it. Closest to swing we can get for lickle ray :yeees:
This narked me too, but the themes have been fairly flexible recently (love songs? number ones?)
Ray neeeeeeeds to go now. He can't look sexy, it just looks so wrong. He can't pull it off and Jailhouse Rock looked like a broadway show, not a possible chart topper. He is just laughable now.
MacDonald Brothers weren't the worst last night - Ray and Eton Road were down there. MacDonald Bros *did* deserve to go through based on last nights performances alone.
Leona (or possibly Simon and Leona) really annoy me. Yes, she's good but she is as predictable as having jam on toast. She's boring and I don't like her at all. Ben is the only one that I would like to win. But I probably wouldn't buy his album or even vote for him. This year they are all disappointing. Previous years were much better. So much better (personality wise - there were people I liked and would vote for. This year they are all dull).
And what is with the hypocrisy amongst the judges this year? Hmmmm.
My favourite is Ben but personally think he's too good to win. If he wins he'll be given crappy covers to sing.
Leona is a good singer but as littlemissy said both her and Simon are annoying me. How many times has simon said "america is going crazy over you", they are trying to put her over as the winner too much. Also "Leona has been ill this week", guess what we get the picture at every opportunity Leona, Simon and Kate were telling us this. Last week quite a few were ill they said it once and moved on but not this week.
If it's what he does best then it's what he does best. In the real world, singers and musicians tend to stick to the one style that suits their respective talents, you don't see Lionel Richie singing much else than soulful songs or you wouldn't see The Bee Gees singing rock anthems. And it's not like he's done swing every single week.
It should be about them being able to showcase what they've got, rather than trying to see who's the least bad at a genre that dosn't suit their voice one bit (e.g Ben during ABBA week)
