I haven't read any of the threads on tonights performances but as a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, I have to say, how amazing was Janets rendition of Under The Bridge? I can't believe the judges didn't go crazy for it:conf: Am I alone in thinking it was fantastic? Best performance of the series imo.

It was very weird. They had it staged as if she was singing a ballad
Didn't sound right with her voice

I thought it was very average.
Amelia's first song and Little Mix's second song were the best.
Misha's first song following on tail.

I didn't like the song
Totally agree with you Niamh :worship: Janet is way too underrated

It wasn't very good imo. Much better than MMMFlop though.
It was pretty good, I don't think she was better than Amelia though

I really rated her performance of it, I was a bit disappointed she did the awful 'mmmbop' song but she certainly retrieved the situation and gave a superb performance of her 2nd.

time for you to pick yourself a new favourite this time tomorrow night

I was waiting for her to throw up all over the stage. Preferably aim it at Gary who makes nonsensical criticisms because he can't take that his own category is crap and hates that Kelly still has 3.

Atleast someone agrees with me then! I ****ing love the Chili Peppers and I would be hugely critical of anyone doing one of their songs, even if it was one of my favourites in X Factor but I seriously thought she nailed it.

Misha isn't my favourite :idc:
She will be when Janet is sent packing back to northern ireland :idc:

Judges won't say nice things because the producers want her out. They know alot of people take in what judges say.
That's because it wasn't that good. She could have picked so many other, better, songs to match her voice but she picks.. that.
She should go tonight, purely based on last nights performances. But she won't :bored:

That said MMMbop is a crazy song choice to begin with.

I thought Janets second song was amazing, and I didnt really get Louis's comment that he didnt like the song...end of the day second song was about heros, so it was personal choice, didnt hear him slagging off the others heros... they definately want Janet out, reason being I dont think she is toeing the xfactor line....
I thought she was awful... in fact this is the first year that I really don't care who wins as I really don't have a favourite. I think Janet is the worst though and should go tonight.
Amelia and misha are too annoying for me to support, so I suppose Marcus and little mix are my favs :)

Janet's second performance was one of her best, it was good to hear her do something a bit different. Giving her mmmbop was a ridiculous idea, it's really hard to sing (that said, she clearly could have rehearsed more!) I don't imagine her under the bridge will save her now, but it was a decent performance.

If it was still a 1 song week and Under The Bridge was her song she would be in with a chance of winning it. As it is, i do agree you can't miss the words twice so I think she could have had it. She doesn't really deserve to win the competition, but she is still my fave to come out from this years show.
I hope she gets a recording deal and not with Syco. She is a songwriter and actually could do well getting into a rock band as lead singer.
When you think of the quality of contestant left at this stage of the competition over the past years, this year really is crap in comparison!

Yeah I mean Tulisa gave good comments at least but almost like she didn't want too which makes me think producers just want her out.
Gary said he didn't like it but didn't give any solid reason as to why
Louis said he doesn't like the song. Firstly it's heroes theme so it's a void point, secondly it's one of the best frigging songs ever.
Kelly actually was nice last night. Her and Janet must have made up but Janet has also been praising Kelly in the media.

Janet has a lot of talent but it's very hit and miss, she really needed a better mentor than Kelly has been imo. I think she's finding it difficult to cope with the pressure she seems quite a reserved shy and quiet girl really.

I wouldn't mind if she goes today. I think she will get signed up and let her talent flourish from there. First she needs to be more confident, but she has more to her than just a XF toy. She can write songs, play instruments, things they will not let her do under the Syco machine.

I think you're right there MX, Janet seems to me to need a lot of creative licence and a lot less pressure on her shoulders to flourish
She should have sang Linger by the Cranberries.. I reckon she could pull that off really well

So much better than the awful Mmmbop but based on both songs, she should be in the B2.

I didn't think Little Mix were great last night tbh, I'd like to see them and Amelia in the B2. If Janet is in the Bottom, she's gone I reckon (which I personally I think would be unfair if she's there with either Misha or Amelia as they've been in the bottom a few times now)

If she's in the bottom 2 against another of the girls, she's in trouble because Kelly won't save her I reckon

Well you clearly are if you think Janet is good....she was literally AWFUL last night, and nobody can argue with that. Her second song was slightly better than the abortion that was 'Mmmbop'

I thought she did really well to recover from the whole mmbop fiasco, a weaker person might have crumbled in those circumstances. Everybody has bad weeks, I just hope she has a big enough fanbase to carry her through this week, poor Craig had one bad week and just like that he was gone.

If she's in the Bottom, she's gone, the judges hate her. I actually voted for the first time this year as I'm afraid she's in trouble.

I wouldn't say that they all hate her, Louis seems to be quite supportive?? Tulisa I agree, she doesn't seem to like her and Gary is a bit random sometimes. Gary would save her against Amelia I reckon maybe not Misha though. Kelly doesn't like her, that's pretty obvious

I believe that whoever Janet faces in the bottom two she'll lose in a 3-1 vote, I hope she'd at least get a deadlock decision against Misha though, they can't really justify her being there 3 times if she is

Marcus was fantastic! Like I said I adored her second song and hope she isn't in the B2 but it would be fair enough if she was after she messed up the first song so badly.
He's good at the up tempo songs but I felt the second song exposed him, he's far from the strongest singer and I think he'd kind of fail as a recording artist since he's more about the performances. I like him but I think he deserves to be in the bottom two alongside Janet.

I just wish Frankie was still in, he'd have been brilliant with 2 songs last night
I actually thought her first song was quite good, despite messing up the words and being ripped into by the judges :laugh:

I honestly think that if Janet is bottom 2, she is gone, regardless of who she's up against. She was given a difficult fast song deliberately because they knew she's prone to forgetting words on fast songs, and they want her out. Probably because she's too talented in other respects (songwriting, instruments etc) and doesn't need to win this competition. Plus she's made it quite clear she doesn't want to be the Syco puppet that the winners are always turned into (respect to her for that!) So I think she'll go tonight, unless she miraculously scrapes the top 3 somehow!
