Aiden-intense performer?

[johnx]

Thers a fine line between being an intense performer and being scared sh#tless and Aiden looks like the later.The lad murders every song hes given-that version of thriller was an abomination.Obviously tryin to turn him into vampire boy because Simon thinks Twilight is "current."

[Niamh.]

his version of mad world was outstanding imo plus his performances before the live shows were very good. He's just a bit hit and miss, probably down to really bad song choices as well

Intense is one thing but gripping lyrics in a stomach-churning lock and pushing them through lock-jaw is another.

The Twilight thing is over but I discovered a photo of Aiden going for the retro-look ala 'Norman Bates'

[johnx]

He's there based on his looks-hes probably got the teenage girl following.Judged purely on his voice he wouldnt have got on the show.

[Crimson Dynamo]

he is about as good as a vomit shake

[Mystic Mock]

i disagree with 99% of what you just said op,aiden is the type of singer that you have to give the right songs to and dannii sadly didnt with thriller.

I agree, he was fantastic the first night, but Dannii has been letting him down and she's been letting Matt down too. She's a good judge but she seems to be getting alot wrong with her song choices

i think matt and aiden have pulled most of there performances off though.

I don't know Matt just about got away with it last week but it wasn't great and Thriller was just awful tbh

[Callum]

He was fantastic on the first live show and all his auditions prior to the live shows were really good but since Week 1, he hasn't been very good sadly.

[Mystic Mock]

I don't know Matt just about got away with it last week but it wasn't great and Thriller was just awful tbh

i agree thriller was bad off aiden.

i think if matt still wants to be a contender to win he has to sing superb,although one direction get away with singing mediocre every week.:joker:

yep, and it's all down to very poor song choices

[johnx]

Yup-Matt was pretty bad and he knew it.Danni's gonna keep givin him soppy songs to sing.

lmao yes but they have all the teenage girls drooling over them!

I wish she'd give him a David Grey song or something

[johnx]

Def could go down a more credible route with Matt-bit more upbeat.Kinda Paulo Nuttini thing like they're tryin to do with Olly Muirs.

[Mystic Mock]

i think he could do that jason mraz song that never left the charts for about 8 months.

i hope i spelt his surname right.:hugesmile:

Oh yeah, I'm yours, that one? that'd be fantastic, and I agree with you as well John, that'd be a better sound for him than all of these pop princesses Dannii is lumbering him with

[Mystic Mock]

yeah i think he could do brilliant with that song.

[Adamw92]

He just scares me and sounds really crap every week

[Mystic Mock]

:nono: we are not on about wagner here.

[Tom4784]

It's song choice that's letting him down, Mad World and Diamonds Are Forever were the best performances of each respective night.

[Adamw92]

:nono: we are not on about wagner here.

I never said we were, Wagner is sh*t too.

[Tom4784]

He's got a very good voice, just because someone's not a boring run of the mill belter type singer doesn't mean they are crap.

I didn't say it means they are but I'd rather a belter type singer over someone who looks like he's having a fit and wants to kill me anyday. Aiden just isn't good imo.

I find them to be a dime a dozen, there's always a few Leonas every year but Aiden's unique in the X Factor. You don't see the Signer Songwriter quality he has that often in the show. The only people that spring to mind that could be considered similar was Tabby & Diana in the audition stages. I'd rather have imperfection but interesting rather then same old same old.

[Novo]

I hate it when he does that fake smile and pretends to be less serious then what he is.

Well I did love Diana, she was very unqiue but Aiden does nothing for me but scare me but I know what you mean :)

[Lee.]

I find him ver uncomfortable to watch...

Kinda looks like he's having a fit!

[Barbie]

he kind of reminds me of Florence and the machine in that she is also quite intense, i couldnt listen to her on my way to uni, but occationally when i want to sit and listen to it its really good. He is a good singer, just intense so not so good for general listening

[Mystic Mock]

now im the other way round as i think diana got away with some terrible performances like with or without you and call me.

I thought those were her two strongest performances.

i thought they were screechy and made my ears bleed.

[fancydressmasks]

It depends how you view it - I wouldn't say he looks 'scared ****less' but he does look very awkward and vulnerable, but I love that about him. Some people don't, some people do. You can't say whether that's a flaw or not - it's matter of opinion.

I admit that his performances since Mad World have been a bit dodgy (Diamonds Are Forever might've been good, but I can't watch it again to see due to my intense hate for that song) but I still prefer his voice to other contestants with more consistent voices - Treyc for example. Although Treyc technically has a better voice than Aiden, it's just deathly boring, and Aiden's voice is unique and I much prefer listening to it than the majority of contestants on the show.

I think the problem lies in the fact that Dannii's been giving him the wrong songs. He has the kind of voice which needs the right songs. I think that most of the contestants with 'the best' voices sound good whatever they sing. People with voices like Aiden sound fairly dodgy when singing a song that doesn't suit their voices, but sound incredible and far more brilliant than the average 'best' singers when singing a song which suits their voices.

I think Mary and Treyc are just mediocre good constantly, whereas Aiden moves erratically from brilliant to awful and back again.

Throughout the audition process when he got to choose his own songs, his voice was beautiful. I could listen to it forever. Dannii just needs to give him a song which suits his voice. Personally I'd love to see him perform David Grey's This Year's Love again, but in full. That was so incredible I think I forgot where I was whilst he was performing it.

do you think he could do verves cruel intentions song? because i have a feeling he could.

[joeysteele]

I never liked Diana Vickers much, as to Aiden, well Dannii is getting something right in the publics eyes.

He has had 2 weeks now of Cheryl really starting to slam him,totally unfairly I would say too,Simon had a go too this week, still though he has connected with the public.

Most people I speak to, have loved his performances,of course there are people who don't like him too but then they were never going to say anything good about him at all just as I would never have said anything good as to Belle Amie,who rightly went this week at last.

I hope Dannii varies his songs and I am sure the themed weeks will demand that anyway,but despite all, he is connecting with the public still and it seems where I am anyway more and more come to like him as the weeks go by.

I just love the intensity of his peformances, I love his voice, I would buy his recordings now so if something isn't broke why try to fix it,I do agree a bit more variation will be needed to hold the support strong but I do think Dannii and Aiden will deliver that in the weeks to come.

[joeysteele]

do you think he could do verves cruel intentions song? because i have a feeling he could.

Yes but in my view he could sing anything, whether the voting viewers like his original takes on the songs he does is another thing though, so far they have but yes, he could do that song and really well.

You should suggest it to Dannii,jf.

lol hopefully shes got it lined up for him if he lasts long enough.

[joeysteele]

He's going nowhere,he should make the last 2 weeks and deserves to make the final too.

[cub]

He needs to balance things up a little. It shouldn't be dark and intense ever week. Louie says on DS that backstage Aiden acts "distant". That, plus the Kerry Katona gurning, has me a bit worried about what he's smoking.

[Pato]

He's a really good singer but he's akward to watch

I really love Aiden. Theres a sweet kind of...vulnerability to him, that I am drawn to.

His voice is lush too. And yes, it helps that hes goodlooking :p

[Mystic Mock]

gosh what is it with me picking favourites that women fancy this year?:joker:

His overacting makes me cringe.

[Kerry]

He looks like he's constipated. That or a murderer waiting to happen

[Shaun]

No. Just socially awkward.

[stewart64]

I hate it when he does that fake smile and pretends to be less serious then what he is.

A bag of nerves and he is trying to hide it, can't really hold it against him.

The intesity worked on Mad World. He needs to find the right song which he clearly hasn't these last two weeks.

[chiptek]

the song choices are his problem right now i think. mad world was awesome but it only needed to be done once. as much as i hate kanye west and that song, his rendition of it in his first audition was brillinant, he needs to do, or at least try, more like that i think.

[Adamw92]

now im the other way round as i think diana got away with some terrible performances like with or without you and call me.

Are you kidding, those two were probably her best, her worst has to be 'Yellow' or 'I'm Not a Girl', I absolutely loved 'Call Me'

i appreciate diana as good singer although not to my taste,but i hated yellow aswell.
