According to The Sun, the winner of season 10 is already decided. Sam Bailey is ahead by a country mile.
Rankings: Sam Bailey, Nicholas McDonald, Sam Callahan, Rough Copy, Luke Friend, Tamera Foster, Hannah Barrett.
Considering that Sam Bailey is a female over 35, Nicholas McDonald is a balladeer in a vein of failed winners Leon Jackson and Joe McElderry and Sam Callahan can’t really sing … Looks like season 10 won’t produce anyone that could be commercially successful post season. Season 10 looks like a dud and it’s not even over yet.
Anyway, HERE are the song spoilers for tonight.
Apparently Tamera Foster is doing a hip-hop version of her song, inspired by this Kanye West song.
Live from London, the X Factor celebrates everything British … and Dermot is dancing the FOX.
The judges are next and Nicole is wearing a giant black bow on her chest.
Each vote or download this weekend goes for the Philippines.
Hannah Barrett – Satisfaction (The Rolling Stones)
http://youtu.be/etIgkzmiCFM
Nicole says this is a perfect someone who was in the bottom 2 last week. Hannah can get no satisfaction …
Hannah sounds pretty great, but I’m just not connecting with this performance.
Louis: You came out fighting, we don’t want you in the bottom 2 this week …
Sharon: Great performance, good song choice.
Gary: Another incredible performance. You were in the bottom 2 last week, that can make you give up or keep going … You came back fighting.
Nicole: You did Aretha proud tonight…
Luke Friend – Your Song (Elton John)
Louis is the only judge left with a full category. He took the boys skating this week.
Luke also visited Seal, who is recording his album in London right now.
I have mixed feelings about this vocal performance. Luke struggled in parts, but also had some great moments. The lighting was crazy.
Sharon: What a huge to take on! That song is the biggest song. If Cliff Richards could sing, he would sing like you. It was a very organic performance, I felt what you were singing.
Gary: You came back fighting this week. You are not a technical singer. You did your own version.
Nicole: Your voice reminds me of your hair. It’s organic, it’s real, but has just enough grit, dirt …
Louis: You made it your own!
Sam Bailey – Something (The Beatles)
Sam went home this week and make some cookies for her children.
Sam stands on giant staircase. It’s one of her standard ballad performances. Technically it’s good, but boring.
Gary: Another incredible performance. people love you out there. Just because you are a woman over 30 that doesn’t mean you are not going to sell records. (Keep lying, Gary!)
Nicole: I don’t think I would put that song on your album …
Louis: You can sell records like Mariah, Celine …
Sharon: You are just a diamond to work with … Keep voting …
Rough Copy – Viva La Vida (Coldplay)
Gary took them to the Children in Need concert and they performed “Rule the World” with Gary.
Huge backing track for the chorus. I don’t think this what Rough Copy was supposed to be about. But the performance seems decent. I just think Gary is not doing them any favors.
Nicole: Boys, week after week you never fail, you never disappoint. This performance was a bit vanilla for me, i miss chocolate. I don’t want you to lose your soul.
Louis: You are obviously doing a lot of things right …
Sharon: I don’t know how you did it, but your version was great. Great song choice, Gary!
Gary: These days like to try new things. You bring the fun to the show.
Sam Callahan – Faith (George Michael)
Sam Callahan wants to show himself as a serious artist this week. He plans to play a guitar.
Hmm, this just isn’t a great song choice for a singing competition. This is awkward, falling flat, IMO. Towards the end the crowd joins him on stage. WTF.
Sharon: Sam, so, you chose the song, you chose to play guitar, … I’ve watched all the comments … You look defeated and you are not defeated …I know how many followers you have a twitter.
Gary: I didn’t love this performance. I don’t think you are progressing as fast as the others. You are a fighter …
Nicole: We had a little hiccup with the guitar … but I love a fighter … you have the right attitude to make it in this business.
Louis: You are the hardest working contestant, we need votes!
Caroline Flack interviews Sam Bailey, Rough Copy and Luke Friend backstage.
Tamera Foster – Diamonds Are Forever (Shirley Bassey)
She was thinking about doing Bohemian Raphsody but decided against it because it’s too dark.
She forgets the lyrics during the dress rehearsal. And damn, a blip happens during the performance. Yikes.
Louis: You are looks great, it was a very unusual song but you made it your own!
Sharon: It was your best performance to date, but then you go and do ee…
Gary: Ignoring that little mistake it was a great performance. But we are still waiting for that moment when the light switches on for everyone.
Nicole: She has already stolen the show for me several times…
Nicholas McDonald – Someone Like You (Adele)
Nicholas is popular with the girls. He assures us he is single.
Awkward song choice. 16-year old sings a song about a girl that “found a boy and she is married now”? Nicholas sang it prettily, but almost right until the end there was no “punch”. I wish the song choices were a little more age appropriate for the kids.
Sharon: Every week you deliver, you have such a fantastic voice.
Gary: You have to add more of yourself into this performances.
Nicole: Your voice is so soothing.
Louis: That was the vocal performance of the night!
Lines are now open.
One Direction and Oprah are on Jonathan Ross’ show tonight at 9:30 right after the XF.
Nicholas McDonald impresses judges with Adele song… while Sam Callahan messes up after insisting on playing the guitar
He’s only 16-years-old but Nicholas McDonald wowed the X Factor judges yet again with his rendition of Someone Like You by Grammy Award winning artist Adele.
The Scot belted out the track with the emotion of someone twice his age for the Great British Song book week.
While Sam Callahan took a risk by playing guitar live along to his version of George Michael’s Faith, which didn’t pay off and left him looking ‘defeated’.

She’s got style wrapped up! Nicole Scherzinger looks schmazing in midriff baring black bow and sexy skirt two-piece
Competition may be hotting up, but Nicole Schezinger’s wardrobe has gone through the roof.
The judge turned herself into an X Factor treat choosing a flesh baring black bow as the centre piece of her outfit on Saturday night’s show.
She wore it with her midriff on show covering her legs with a floor length figure hugging skirt with a huge split to her upper thigh.
