If you watch this video...from round about 2 mins in, he is anything but. He has a fun side that they didnt show, instead favouring him looking crazed

The dancing is a bit...weird though

[Phlip]

He said a naughty word.


It's nice hearing him doing a more fun song, though.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Awwww I loved that, despite the dancing he's really good!

Wish they'd let him show that side of himself on the show

[The Mockinator]

he did madworld, and he did it just as good as the live show.

As I said they tried to turn him into vampire boy and public didnt buy it.Also tried to brainwash people into thinking he was a great singer-was he hell.He must be kickin himself-if he was a bit less wierd Cowell woulda had him for One Direction.

Every bloody week.After he murdered yet another song the judge's praised him to the high heavens.Public could see he was bobbins.

[Patrick]

He'd of been one of my favourites if he had done that on the live shows.

The crazed psycho persona is definitely all his own. Even when he was just miming on the Heroes track he did the whole contorted face thing like his body was having a spasm.

You would think all of that was about him singing with intensity and feeling the vocals. But the fact he does it when just miming proves its just superficial. An act. His own act.

Or that it would just look silly for him to be normal for once?

Or they told him to do the same on the xf single performance...

If it was all an act, and he CHOSE to keep it up, then surely he wouldnt be doing^^ at his gigs?

[Zippy]

If anything I think they would have told him to tone it down as it was putting many viewers and voters off.

I just can't imagine anybody actually telling him to look more crazed. Makes no sense to me. They just let him do his own thing I'm sure.

I just think he was nervous on stage performing to so many people. In that video he seems really relaxed but it's probably because he doesn't have the added pressure of having to be outstanding. Of course he has to be somewhat good but it's not a necessity when you sing in a nightclub to be note perfect.

Hmm maybe. Mind in his audition too he didnt look like he wanted to kill everyone, and surely he would be nervous as hell then :/

Firstly, I don't think the choreographers interfer to the point of telling them what facial expressions to pull when singing. Certainly not with somebody like Aiden who they keep claiming is very individual.

And if Aiden is the artist he claims to be I can't imagine him allowing them to control him to that degree. If he does, he's very weak. And not true to himself as an artist.

But personally Im sure his stage mannerisms are all his own idea. He wants to be some quirky, unconventional artist. On the Xfactor. LOL.

PMSL.. I'm not saying the choreographers told him to pull the faces...at all. Just that the producers or whoever might have told him to play up on the tortured soul thing

But that is all about his facial expressions. The crazed staring. The fact he did it week after week even after the judges told him to do something different tells me that it really was what he wanted.

I can't imagine any artist would act like that at somebody elses command. It wasn't even doing him any favours. And again, if he did then he's very weak.

[Jords]

Think it was his own awkardness thing.

No.
The 'intense' or 'emotional artist' thing was made to cover the nervous breakdown he had in week 2.
Rather than explain why the poor kid is crumbling from performance anxiety and is suffocating lyrics and looking like Norman Bates with crazy eyes and twisted grins...
..then turned his 'cover boy model' image to 'intensely passionate' whatever.

The best thing he can do is finish this singing nonsense and try and stop being a dick and relax again.

[fruit_cake]

maybe its that Aiden has a very very small range of songs that suit his voice, but If he gets it right it really works.. That video reminded me of just how good his Xfactor madworld was!
