		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Westlife sang their new single What About Now (Daughtry) on the results show&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I take it they don&#039;t write their own music?

As for the show, itself, Olly seems a natural Vegas performer. He would&#039;ve been great with a rat pack song. Something from the Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra catalogue. Off to listen to more.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I don&#039;t even recall Adam singing Feeling Good on AI so it must not have been a jaw-dropping performance in my opinion.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Adam&#039;s performance was great; he&#039;s just an incredible singer.  But this guy Danyl wasn&#039;t bad.  He seems a little smarmy to me--like he could open for someone at a club in the Poconos . . . in the 60s.  It was a competent performance, far better than Joe, and probably others--I haven&#039;t watched them.

So weird how Simon compliments performances in the UK that would make him barf on AI.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Danyl reminds me of Danny Gokey, except Danny Gokey is a hundred times better.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And Danyl&#039;s a hundred times better looking.  Just sayin.

&lt;blockquote&gt;He&#039;s the X Factor answer to David Archuleta, but Joe comes nowhere near Archie&#039;s rich, velvety tone. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Or ability to interpret a song.  I wonder what made you, MJ, think of DA?  Age and cuteness?  Because beyond that, I really don&#039;t see a connection at all.  Sway was a horrible song for that boy Joe to sing--he&#039;s not mature enough to be seductive . . . and it&#039;s a seductive song.

I&#039;ve never seen this show.  What&#039;s with the dancers?  That is so weird.  I can&#039;t imagine AI having dancers on the stage.  How do they keep the playing field level between ballads (which I hope don&#039;t have dancers) and uptempo songs?</description>

		<description>X Factor performances were amateurish compared to American Idol, and I&#039;m British. Westlife singing THEIR NEW SINGLE &#039;WHAT ABOT NOW&#039; ? At least when Alexandra Burke sang Hallelujah they had to say it was Leon Cohen/Jeff Buckley song. Daughtry&#039;s name wasn&#039;t mentioned not even by the presenter let alone Westlife. Danyl&#039;s version of &#039;Feeling Good&#039; proved how brilliant  Adam is, Rachel should look at Syesha&#039;s &#039;Proud Mary&#039; to learn how it should have been done. It&#039;s a shame that the country that gave the world the Beatles, the Stones and Led Zeppelin musically has sunk so low that someone like Daughtry hasn&#039;t been acknowledged.</description>

		<description>I guess I&#039;m not the only one comparing Danyl&#039;s performance to Adam&#039;s performance.  Not even close.  Danyl is so brave to sing this.  Adam&#039;s voice is so immaculate.  And who can forget that long note and that &quot;STRUT&quot; down the stairs!!!</description>

		<description>Hmmm... I don&#039;t even recall Adam singing &lt;em&gt;Feeling Good&lt;/em&gt; on AI so it must not have been a jaw-dropping performance in my opinion. Frankly, most of last season is already gone from my memory. I guess that means I&#039;m ready for the new season already. :lol:</description>

		<description>Danyl reminds me of Danny Gokey, except Danny Gokey is a hundred times better. And Danny would have done Feelin Good more justice. But no one should cover this song again any time soon. It&#039;s overdone. I cringed when Adam sang it and he was amazing. Adam received worldwide acclaim and everybody who watches these shows has seen Adam&#039;s performance. Danyl is just okay--but what kind of fool is he to invite comparison to Adam? Britain&#039;s Got Talent apparently used up all the talent pool in Britain. Danyl is goodlooking, but if it&#039;s about looks, why subject us to the singing?</description>

I tell you guys, song Feeling Good is cursed. First Adam, now Danyl.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I personally think Danyl&#039;s version was all over the map. Ironically enough, i thought it was one of Adam&#039;s weaker vocals (but probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite studio recording he did).

It didn&#039;t help that Miss Frank completely bombed their sing-off performance. However, i think its total BS that Danyl got to sing his first audition song again for the sing-off. I don&#039;t think there has ever been a winner who has been in the bottom 2 by the top 10.  

And i bet simon is spinning in his chair right now wondering how his boy Dannyl got less votes than John and Edward! HAHAH!!! i mean really, this just shows that the voting system does not work.

Still tho, how funny would it have been that since Sheryl Cole sent it to a tie, Danyl would have had the least amount of votes and been eliminated? hahahaha.</description>

		<description>What a surprise, Danyl at the bottom with Miss Frank. Let&#039;s see if the judges will play games and vote off Danyl.

ETA - Judges passed the buck back to the public, and Miss Frank is gone.</description>

		<description>Do all male singers now have to sound like Adam Lambert or else be automatically brushed aside? Just because Adam sang &quot;feeling good&quot; on AI, does that make it as untouchable as a Whitney Houston standard? Adam may have a unique voice and range, but his singing is not everyone&#039;s cup of tea (if you will excuse the British-ism)! I am sure I am not the only one who finds Daryl&#039;s singing more emotionally authentic and less &quot;show-y&quot; than Adam&#039;s.  I think Danyl is more successful at being emotional without shouting &#039;i&#039;m emoting!&#039; at the same time.</description>

		<description>I was disappointed this week. Just because there is an orchestra section in the original song, that doesn&#039;t make it Big Band. Simon was the biggest offender with a U2 song, but Louis should be the last to call him out on it. &lt;em&gt;She Bangs&lt;/em&gt;? WTF? Tina Turner... not Big Band. And &lt;em&gt;When You wish Upon a Star&lt;/em&gt;? Is that considered Big Band?

Olly doesn&#039;t have the strongest vocal but he is entertaining IMO. I&#039;d rather see him stay in the competition longer than Danyl or Jamie for the Over 25s. I&#039;d actually like to see Jamie in the Bottom 2 this week because his song was not even close to being Big Band. But that really is Simon&#039;s fault, not Jamie&#039;s.

John &amp; Edward are just horrible. Miss Frank is doing ok for a girl group that was thrown together at the last minute. And really Louis had nothing else to pick from for his Top 3.

The girls....Rachel, Stacey, and Lucy. Each have something that I like and dislike about them. Probably Rachel&#039;s best performance so far in the Live shows but I don&#039;t think it will be enough to keep her out of the B2.

Yes, Lloyd and Joe are cute. There&#039;s something about Lloyd&#039;s tone that I like. I think he has potential. He&#039;s still very young. He just needs some time to develop and good mentoring. He definitely has some of the weakest vocals of the bunch. But I think the young girl votes will keep him in for a while yet.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was disappointed this week. Just because there is an orchestra section in the original song, that doesn&#8217;t make it Big Band. Simon was the biggest offender with a U2 song, but Louis should be the last to call him out on it. <em>She Bangs</em>? WTF? Tina Turner&#8230; not Big Band. And <em>When You wish Upon a Star</em>? Is that considered Big Band?</p>
<p>Olly doesn&#8217;t have the strongest vocal but he is entertaining IMO. I&#8217;d rather see him stay in the competition longer than Danyl or Jamie for the Over 25s. I&#8217;d actually like to see Jamie in the Bottom 2 this week because his song was not even close to being Big Band. But that really is Simon&#8217;s fault, not Jamie&#8217;s.</p>
<p>John &amp; Edward are just horrible. Miss Frank is doing ok for a girl group that was thrown together at the last minute. And really Louis had nothing else to pick from for his Top 3.</p>

		<description>I don&#039;t like any of these peeps.  Danyl Johnson is just the best among them but that doesn&#039;t really say much if you ask me.  His singing is better than his stage presence.  I don&#039;t really get why the judges think Danyl is so great on stage, his stage presence is very mediocre.  Odd.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;but holey shit I can&#039;t believe that in all of Great Brittania these are these are the best of the best. Just no. One is worse than the other.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Darn tootin&#039;, just pretty bad all around.  Why?

I do love those brothers, they make me laugh, they are so bad they&#039;re good.  And that guy that is supposed to be the answer to Archie.....he better keep his day job.  He is just so lightweight, he&#039;s more like Joey Osmond, or whoever was the 5th Osmond brother, that rarely got to sing....ugh.</description>

		<description>Two thangs abou SIMON!... (he pisses me off)

also two words : Adam Lambert

Adam&#039;s on another planet,  but Simon did the same thing with Ring Of Fire&quot;,  he HATED it... it was the song that made Adam.

AND... he went off because it wasn&#039;t &quot;Country&quot; well.. dipshit.. U2&#039;s not BB..

He&#039;s a great &quot;talker&quot; but he doesn&#039;t know SHIT about talent.

I&#039;m not sure about this Jamie,  but I&#039;d trust his thang over Simons... that&#039;s what made Jamie kind of cool.. the way he does a song... Simon tried to take the soul from Adam,  and he hasn&#039;t learned.</description>

		<description>I totally got Simon&#039;s critique of Lucy singing My Funny Valentine &quot;too much like an actress&quot; (or something like that).  I thought the same.  It was like an actress playing a torch singer in a movie (e.g. Michelle Pfeiffer in Fabulous Baker Boys) instead of like an actual torch singer.  I guess Simon&#039;s is getting influenced by America&#039;s preference for soulful singers.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Simon has lost the plot with Danyl.. just my humble opinion..&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I share your opinion.  I really don&#039;t get what all the fuss is about regarding Danyl.  I don&#039;t care for his singing at all, and I thought his &quot;Feeling Good&quot; was a hot, stinkin&#039; mess.  

John &amp; Edward?  LOL...so bad, yet I want them to stay. 

Honestly, I&#039;m not feelin&#039; anyone this season.  Maybe things will improve, but so far no one is really grabbing me.  I&#039;m scratching my head trying to figure out how some of these folks made it as far as they have.  Miss Frank was horrible.  Jamie wasn&#039;t great, but I can&#039;t help liking him for some reason.  Rachel...yawn.  I&#039;ll have to catch up on the other performances.</description>

		<description>This is the first time I&#039;ve actually watched all of these contestants. My favorite is Lucie. I think she&#039;s got a really, really nice voice. She needs to not overdo it and if she tried softer songs, I really think she could be great. I see a ton of potential in her. I also really liked Joe, who I think will grow during the competition. Olly also did well. Lloyd Daniels has a decent voice, just seems kind of inexperienced.

I thought Miss Frank was awful...I don&#039;t understand what the judges see in them? I thought it was pretty painful. Rachel is a decent singer, just nothing special. I think Jamie is a good singer. I think Stacey is pretty bad...I&#039;ve seen some of her other stuff which was a little better but this week was just bad. John and Edward, while entertaining, were terrible. And I totally don&#039;t get the hype over Danyl. He&#039;s a decent singer, but his tone and his performance style annoys me. 

I&#039;m excited to see more of Lucie and Joe.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t understand some ppl here...
Danyl had an awful performance, and Simon&#039;s Standing O doesn&#039;t mean nothing, he always do this on X-Factor.

Lucie, Stacey and Miss Frank, were the bests of the night, so did Olly...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I thought Lucie was really good, easily better than the other crap. Like her tone. Maybe Simon was looking for &#039;it was nice, but I&#039;ve heard Melinda Doolittle&#039; ?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That just might be it. I liked that performance quite a bit but, yeah, there&#039;s no competing with Melinda Doolittle, least of all on what was her best performance on the show. Even Sway, which was not exactly her best performance on the show, was simply well beyond that of Joe, no question.</description>

		<description>ugh. Jamie has been pretty below par for two weeks now. i want him to go all the way. 

I think my favorite contestant is actually the ethnic Kelly Clarkson girl from Miss Frank. She&#039;s just fucking cool. I wish she was in it solo. Oh and their rendition of That&#039;s Life was significantly better in Boot Camp week.

Does anyone else find it difficult to listen Danyl Johnson? For me he&#039;s almost almost like a 1/2 pitch off on the majority of the song. And that weird little accent thing he has, its like the equivalent of a twang (but not county obviously), and it is just really unpleasant for me to listen to. 

Lucie is quickly becoming my favorite. I think she has the best voice by a landslide. And her star potential is starting to come alive. especially after her performance last week. 

And john&amp;edward. omg. my favorite part about these kids is that they both always sing meldoy together. NO HARMONY. its really lol bad. do they know what that is? harmony? i mean, isn that the point of having multiple people sing at the same time? but seriously, that song had 3 effing notes in it!!! wtf!!!! and nice starburst suits. the theatrics on stage that x-factor allows really aids them. imagine if they actually had to JUST sing a song? Oo, maybe that will happen in the future...</description>

Besides that Proud Mary is no.way. big band, that girl sucked.
I still don&#039;t get Danyl. He&#039;s lucky that X Factor viewers probably don&#039;t watch AI, because his ending to Feeling Good (the held-out note followed by a shorter &quot;good&quot;) was a half-assed ripoff of Adam&#039;s.
Overall these people make Blake Lewis look like a vocal virtuoso.</description>
