I hadn't watched any of this series until last night (I have a serious aversion to Nick Grimshaw), when I turned on the TV and caught Seann's performance. I thought he was excellent. Seems you lot liked him too. And now he's away. Blah.

I've only seen short performance clips of Bupsi, Anton, Jennifer Phillips and Kiera so far.
Anton is great but a little terrifying with his mugging.Bupsi was terrible in her initial audition and her 6 chair challenge and I'm appalled she got onto the live shows.Kiera was very inconsistent in the 6 chair challenge with some incredibly bad pitch problems and I'm surprised she got a chair.Jennifer was the best out of the four contestants I saw by such a great distance that I don't think terrestrial units are applicable anymore; it is appalling to me that she didn't make it to the live shows (but then again, I don't know what happened during the retreat).

Yeah, Jennifer's Shackles in her first audition was immense, and I didn't see her do a thing wrong - I do not know what happened there.
& I just watched tonight's results. fuck that.

I was annoyed about Seann leaving before I watched the results show last night. Then I watched that sing off and I honestly feel like I'm done with this show. Mason was terrible, missing notes all over the place. If they kept Mason in because of his bad boy behaviour in the past they should realise people really don't seem to care. I watched the whole of the Sam Bailey year, I can take this show being poor but there's something about this year that really makes me want to give up. The whole black eye incident and Simon's sabotage of his category has been so blatant and just shows how stupid he thinks the public are.
They are making it obvious Louisa Johnson is the chosen one, I just don't think she's going to connect they way they want her to. She's very Amelia Lilly.

Mason's survival song was nearly as bad as the week Katie Waissel sat down at the front of the stage and stopped singing because she was convinced that the judges were going to vote her off anyway (they didn't). He almost makes me feel all rose-tinted those-were-the-days towards Frankie Cokehoser, because at least that lovable cheeky scamp total fuckwad had some tiny tiny amount of talent that he was genuinely wasting by caning it Robbie style. Mason can't even convince us that he's a bad boy - ooooooooh he threw down a microphone - and now he's stopped doing that there's nothing.

Partly convinced that Wand split up to avoid having to perform on this show again.

That was worse than the time that Wogan said Cyndi instead of Scooch.

Simon's stuck with the one act in his category that he didn't really want.
― Eins zwei PoliSci (snoball), Saturday, 21 November 2015 20:03 (eight years ago) link
WTF? A light pop shopping mall version of 'Yesterday'? The only way this could be worse is if Mick Hucknall were singing it. I was really hopeful that Ché would at least be an interesting contestant. But he's become so boring - Grimshaw is even more of a personality crushing mentor than Simon.
― Eins zwei PoliSci (snoball), Saturday, 21 November 2015 20:08 (eight years ago) link
Never mind Olly, Grimshaw is the one who's most likely to not be on the show next year.
― Eins zwei PoliSci (snoball), Saturday, 21 November 2015 20:19 (eight years ago) link
Anton's outburst was quite disturbing.
Ché reminds me so much of Jahmene Douglas. I think it'll be between him and Lauren in the final two. The producers/judges couldn't make it anymore more obvious they want Louisa to win but I don't think she'll quite get there.
I miss Seann.

And I miss Seann as well. If he was still there I'd put him in the final three instead of Louisa.

That was a complete shambles. The Ben and Leona duet was one of the worst things the show has ever produced.
― Kitchen Person, Sunday, 13 December 2015 04:20 (eight years ago) link
I'm not surprised that Ché got voted off. He committed the cardinal sin of performing a Phil Collins song in such a way that I wished Collins was there singing it instead. Then he fell into the same trap with 'Valerie'. I'm not a fan of The Zutons, and their singer wasn't that good, but he sounded like Lemmy in comparison to Ché. Then the duet with Rod Stewart pretty much finished it. When Rod came on later and did his solo number it became clear just how much he'd been holding back during the duet to try and make Ché look better.

Not only was the Ben / Leona duet terrible, but it was also a reminder that XF has served up far, far worse.

I know this is an ugly show, and is only watchable with a strong dose of removed cynicism, but I still found Reggie 'n' Bollie's crack at the winner's single quite upsetting (as did they, and cheryl, it seemed): felt like a forced humiliation, and a real act of cruelty towards the contestants who'd most consistently cheered & entertained me. Just one quick vicious tackle from the producers to make sure there wasn't an upset.
