X Factor – Week 9 – Performance
I think Joe McElderry is the only safe bet for the final next week. And, he’s going to win the whole thing. We’ll see tomorrow who takes the two spots next to him. Olly and Joe have been the most consistent, and entertaining of this quartet, for that reason, I hope they make it to the final.
The elimination of Danyl would be amusing, just to see the look on Simon’s face…
It’s time for the X Factor! Top 4 this week. Poor Olly is missing his twin brother’s wedding! Sads.
Video and recap after the JUMP…
- Olly Murs - “Can You Feel It” by Michael Jackson – Olly was slightly under-pitch the entire performance. Not one of his best. Nevertheless, Simon gives him a standing ovation! – VIDEO
- Joe McElderry – “She’s Out of My Life” by Michael Jackson – The only contestant who can sing on pitch, he’s probably going to win the whole deal. His version of this well-known ballad was very simple, very sweet. – VIDEO
- Stacey Soloman – “The Way You Make Me Feel” by Michael Jackson – Whoa. That key change! YEOWCH. Too bad, because she was fine until then. Simon and Louis hate it. – VIDEO
- Danyl Johnson – “Man in the Mirror” – by Michael Jackson – Ew, Nasally! Not digging this vocal at all. LoL at the giant screens of eco disasters behind Danyl, and Lol at the judges mocking Simon. – VIDEO
- Olly Murs – “We Can Work it Out” by The Beatles – Olly sings the Stevie Wonder version here. Not really crazy about his phrasing (cri-uh-uh-uh-uh -im). He sounds out of breath, and flubs the lyrics several times. Could have done without the herky-jerky dancing. Louis, not a well known song? WHAT? – VIDEO
- Joe McElderry – “Open Arms” by Journey – Joe knows his strength–he’s back with another ballad. A very nice rendition, but not very passionate. Nobody knows this song in the UK? Simon pimps him into the final – VIDEO
- Stacey Solomon – “Somewhere” West Side Story – Sorry, but she’s off-key and flubs the lyrics to the point of distraction. Yet, the judges can’t get enough! – VIDEO
- Danyl Johnson - “I Have Nothing” by Whitney Houston – Kinda pitchy and boring, dawg. It didn’t nearly have the impact it could have. Simon doesn’t think he’s been criticized fairly, he pimps him into the final. – VIDEO

I really don’t understand the hype about Stacey AT ALL. I think she is so overrated and she is generally never in pitch. Danyl is nasally and overrated also.
If Joe and Olly aren’t in the finals, something is seriously wrong.
Ratna12,
Listening to this performance I couldn’t help thinking the same. Kris energy and artistry far far better on this
After seeing some of these performances and not watching the show much, I hope Joe gets it all. I guess I have a thing for seemingly shy, quiet, modest “everyguys”. I was for Archie then Kris. Heh.
They seem like the down-to-earth nice guys of each season.
It’s funny, but I grew to like Archie after A17 and he’s still not my kind of singer, but he’s a really nice kid.
I actually really like Joe on the X Factor and hope he wins. He’s got a great voice, certainly the best on this year’s show and, again, he’s a really nice kid.
I guess the difference is that there’s no-one on this year’s X Factor who really captures me, or who I think might interest me once the show is over. (Edit: there’s also a much better range of singers on AI, IMO. Whilst I thought Archie was a good singer, he wasn’t the best from my pov, though I can why he would be from other povs). So, I’m rooting for the one who a) can sing the best and b) is the most genuine seeming.
Olly cracks me up with the dancing, but he is quite cute. I’ve never been impressed with his singing, but I like him. Danyl has improved his stage presence I think, but his tone just gets unpleasant sometimes. Compared to Stacey, when they’re both at their best, I think she edges him out as a singer and he edges her out as a performer. Joe continues to impress, always strong vocals and as Simon said last week, he is coming across more now as a young man than as a boy, which is what he seemed at the beginning. If Joe doesn’t win I will be shocked. As to who goes this week, I’d be unsurprised by anyone except Joe. I kind of hope it’s not Olly, since he missed his brother’s wedding for this.
Joe is, absolutely the best singer…..,but he has a modest stage presence.
I did feel more emotion from him tonight!! He should be in the final.!!
Now Olly doesn’t have a big voice but what he has got he uses proficienly.
He knows how to perform and I believe he make people feel pleased. He is very nice to look at while he is mov’in and grov’in and people his hair has improves too….”Maybe” final if the votes come in?
Danyl sang quit well on both his numbers tonight But he is weak in the lower
registrars. He sound very good …..potenial
Stacey is the one with potential but still need lots of traing om performing’
she should keep singing but she needs dance training and local practice of
choreogrpahy. She will beccome comfortable because she does have the
TALENT!!!Just please not this year.
Pretty voices, but lacking, so lacking passion, true emotion….
ah there is only one Mj….
sry MJ but how can u say Olly being consistent? HE’S AN AVERAGE SINGER! AND A RUBBISH DANCER (btw im no fan of any this years lot)
Joe’s a sure thing to win at this point. I personally am not overly impressed by him, but he has a nice voice and I think he’s the best singer.
I really don’t know who’s going to go today..I like Olly a lot and it’d be a bummer if he left. Especially because of the whole wedding thing. I think he’s a great entertainer…I don’t care for Stacey…and I’m not sure about Danyl. I agree about Man in the Mirror- all I could think about was how much more I liked Kris’ version, and it kind of annoys me that Simon went on about how good Danyl was. Simon seems to be pleased much more easily in Britain? I mean, he hardly ever gives standing ovations on American Idol.
Its kinda funny, but you never like any Stacey’s performances, but she is, with Joe, the best singer…
And I can’t really understand how can someone not like Stacey’s performances, and like Joe’s… I like’em both, and can’t understand how ppl don’t like her, and like Joe’s boring performances… Last Night, his songs were way too boring, and it makes me sad, coz I really like him… Cheryl did some bad choices for this kid u_u
I can’t undestand Olly, he isn’t a good singer, or a good dancer, or good looking… Don’t know why is he there… Lucie, Rachel or Miss Frank deserved that spot more…
I hope the F2: Stacey & Joe :/
And, since the winner single is “The Climb” by Cyrus, I preffer Stacey to won and release that song as a single… :/
