Janet's sing-off

[Jords]

I thought it was really lovely her best performance since I'll Be Watching You!

[Locke.]

Janet's best performance since her audition

[Jordan.]

It was awful

[Pyramid*]

I thought she totally murdered the song. Boring and she was singing so slowly at times, and so hesitant, I thought she was going to do her usual and forget the words.

Awful performance imo.

[fruit_cake]

Janet was back to her best

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

shes so ****ing terrible so its not hard for her to top her best performance since they were all **** /bate

[reece(:]

murdered a lovely song, as per

[MusicXian]

It is her style of singing, just because she doesnt prance around stage shouting high notes galore when there is no need doesnt mean she is boring. There are people out there who would buy this type of music, I think she needs a band though to get her music out there and be make things a little more up tempo.

It is her style of singing and I agree with you, and imo, it's suited to folk songs - not for the X Factor and someone who has that special something. She will appeal to a certain market: but not to the masses, and that's what X Factor is about.

That is why since week 3 when XF production realised this they have absolutely destroyed her. She didnt deserve to win this based on a couple of performances. Forgetting words is a no-no. I would not have voted her to win it despite being my favourite, however I wanted her to get further than Misha and Amelia because IMO it would have stuck up 2 fingers at XF.

However she has been absolutely killed off by XF with song choices, the VTs, judges comments etc. and her confidence is somewhere down at zero I would think at this moment.

Misha's was worse... :idc:

[Doogle]

Misha's was worse... :idc:

No way

[Adamw92]

Loved it! she was much better than Misha

[MusicXian]

What the better sing-off was is all down to opinion, however, why did Louis and Tulisa say 'based on yesterday's performance and the sing-off' once again they are defeating the whole purpose of a sing-off, may aswell just get done with it already as its not really a sing-off at all, just another performance to waste the time and let the producers tell the judges what to say and who to choose.

Janet has only been once in the B2, whereas Misha has been in it three times, so Janet is more popular than Misha B as voted by the public!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Misha's was worse... :idc:

obvious troll is obvious even people who dont even like misha (doogle) can admit that she was miles better

[Locke.]

Janet was much better in the sing off, this was Misha's first bottom 2 performance that has been average

[Maia]

Absolutely amazing :love:

[Black Dagger]

obvious troll is obvious even people who dont even like misha (doogle) can admit that she was miles better

Urm, Misha was far superior and did a great job against Kitty.

Tonight she was dreadful... :idc:

[Pyramid*]

How many times has Misha forgotten words to songs? Janet did it a few weeks back, and twice last night (at the very start and midway through her first song).

Janet's singoff performance alone was enough to not have her go any further, it was painful to listen to.

We don't know if Janet is more popular at this point -unless of course, you have the public voting figures to hand.

Agreed with this, I don't like Misha much but the fact is, she was better than Janet and as you said Pyramid, she has not forgotten her words. Despite being in the Bottom Two 3 times now, Misha did a good enough job to remain.

[fruit_cake]

Janet really messed up Mmbop, but the other two songs this weekend were both good. It certainly wasn't painful to listen too imo

Not good enough to keep her in the competition though.

[joeysteele]

Loved it, it's a song that either gets you or turns you off though.No way should she have gone tonight though and also there's no point in having a sing off if the judges are still going to judge on the last nights performances.

Thought the public did that and then the judges decided from the sing off performance, no account I see noted of the times Misha B has been in the bottom 2 though so therefore not connecting very well with the voting public at all no matter her performances.

[fruit_cake]

when Kitty was in the bottom 2, she didn't 'connect' with the public, but when Misha's in it, she's an act that is going to sell 100000's of records according to Tulisa

[fruit_cake]

I'm most disappointed in Louis and Tulisa

Let's take it a step further: the 'public' only get to determine who is in the bottom two..... the judges still have control on the sing offs. I've said for years that it's a serious flaw as far as the public supposedly deciding: because they aren't...... they are only deciding who gets to the bottom 2. The final choice still remains with the judges - and I don't actually think that's right (regardless of whether I agree with the judges choice or not).

Either the public get to pick - or not, and currently, the public don't get that choice till the finals.

[Cherie]

What I didn't like about the sing off tonight was that it was judged on both nights performances whereas previous sing offs have been based just on the sing off itself.....sorry but people who vote on xfactor really need their heads testing, as with Tesco Mary last year who was voted off against Cher...and the following week they had lined Cher up to sing with Will I Am....that would have been good to watch Tesco Mary and Will I Am...lol ...the judges get the opportunity to manipulate the public vote and that is wrong...it should be whoever is bottom of the public vote.

[MusicXian]

Yeah they need to change this to no sing-offs, Sunday can be a shorter results show and just have bottom of the public vote gone.

It is the very reason why I would never take part in the voting.

[fruit_cake]

I'm really put of the whole X-factor program after tonights fiasco

It's been the same for years though.... this year is not any different from any other year. That's the way the show has been run over the years.

[MusicXian]

Basically the bottom 2 scenarios is like a saving point for the XF production. If it was just bottom of the vote they would have no say in how the competition could run. Look at Misha for example, I dont know, but its possible she could have been out in week 4, something the producers have not wanted. The Misha bully saga is good for the show as well in a way as it gave them alot of publicity. Out of the 4 contestants left (5 when Janet was here), probably Misha still gets the most newspaper headlines with that story.

[Tom4784]

It was okay, a bit plodding.

yeah it's true you're right, ever since Simon saved Jedward over Lucie it's gone downhill imo

No it shouldn't. It only takes one bad week in voting and one of the favourites who wouldn't normally be in the bottom could leave. That'd just cause even more complaining.

[Pyramid*]

Yep.... The same Jedward that he slated for weeks and weeks, and also ripped the arse out of Louis for backing them IIRC, till he saw the £ signs stacking up.....

yeah I know, what a fake Simon turned out to be, I was quite pleased to see the back of him this year, but it justs seems to have gone from bad to worse :rolleyes:

[Cherie]

well the public could complain all they like but end of the day the choice would be theirs and theirs alone...

It's the same reason why Cher Lloyd's singles have been successful so far despite how hated she is, Misha's very current and she's probably one of the few contestants that could have a successful career. Kitty wasn't as marketable.

[Jordan.]

But it's not and never has been. Everyone who votes is aware it's the judges who get the final choice. If they don't agree with it and moan everything is a fix when they don't get the outcome they want then they shouldn't vote in the first place.

I quite liked Cher, she was unique and original, Misha doesn't have anything unique or original imo

which is why I dont, never have, never will vote on xfactor because its all a sham, however if they changed it so the public did have control then it might be different, but what is the point in wasting money when the judges have the ultimate decision...up until the final it is madness to vote for anyone as they will manipulate to who they want...by all means vote in the final if your favourite is still there but up until then save your cash.

[Tom4784]

Well no Cher wasn't, she was just something different for the X Factor, in terms of music there's a thousand girls in America that can do what she did. Misha does what she did but in a much better fashion and is more convincing too, with the added bonus that she does actually mix things up a lot more.

[MusicXian]

Heard there might be a top 2 sing off this year. Judges choose the winner :p

[Locke.]

What a silly thing to say

[MTVN]

Janet >>> Misha

[Pyramid*]

Heard there might be a top 2 sing off this year. Judges choose the winner :p

LOL.

Do you wear Prada by chance! :devil:

[mizzy25]

im soooooooooooooo glad shes @ last gone

[Mystic Mock]

I have heard that they considered this with Katie last year aswell,they just didnt want to lose all there audience though.:hugesmile:

[Marc]

So glad she's gone.

Good at the start but she got boring because she didn't get any better.

[Locke.]

She really shouldn't have applied for the show, she is better than it.

[Doogle]

She really shouldn't have applied for the show, she is better than it.

I agree, she would have been discovered on YouTube eventually anyway.

[blandchild]

I think she does have an interesting voice, and I hate what x factor has done to her. I hope something good comes out of it for her.

[Niamh.]

I loved her sing off performance. I think she has a hauntingly beautiful voice but It is something you'll either love or hate I'd imagine. I hope she gets signed and does well after this.

[Adamw92]

Not good enough to keep her in the competition though.

If the judges had based it on the bottom two like they are supposed to then Janet should have stayed :idc:

In your opinion - but it's not one I share I'm afraid. I felt Misha completely outshone Janet in the sing off.

[Visage]

I thought she was great in her sing off. She went back to what she does best.


However if the X Factor isn't about the voice and it's about who wants it more, then Misha should win.


(Did I get that right?)

[Adamw92]

In your opinion - but it's not one I share I'm afraid. I felt Misha completely outshone Janet in the sing off.

Well I respect that even If I don't agree, I'm still not happy that it was basically a clean sweep with the judges, someone should have voted against Misha!

(Did I get that right?)

My own view is that it is a mixture: of who wants it most, who it able to produce the full package, and who is more likely to appear to the widest audience. It's all about the kerching!

[Pyramid*]

If the shoe was on the other foot, and I was a Janet fan - I'd be saying exactly the same, for all the same reasons - that's the truth of the matter.

But I'm not, so I can understand the judges decision and obviously, as a result of my own 'bias', will agree they made the right choice. Misha will appeal to a wider audience than Janet (imo).

That's NOT to say Janet won't find success in her own particular field.

[MusicXian]

Misha will appeal to a wider audience, but one where her market is already heavily populated.

[Pyramid*]

Can't fault you on that comment - though she would fill concert venues in far greater number than Janet - I think that's pretty much a certaintly.
