kiera :love:

[Cal.]

I remember being amazed at how much she worked for that performance and then even more amazed when I think all of the judges besides Rita gave her lukewarm comments and she got eliminated the next night iirc :umm2:

[Samm]

she was robbed because of the ****ing stupid double eliminations, it better not return

Miss Frank and Jade Ellis were criminally underrated in general but these were my favourite performances of theirs'.

sorry she shouldn't have been sent home after singing this so it's underrated

Omg not me and Luke appreciating her at the same time

[Cal.]

Lola Saunders is a ****ing goddess :love:

[Cal.]

Her and Lauren Murray got so much unnecessary hate :umm2:

[LukeB]

Omg not me and Luke appreciating her at the same time

:cool:

looking back I think Lola was the best female(from her category) .. I was re-watching some performances and Lauren sucked after let it go and I enjoyed all of Lola's performances.

[LukeB]

Her and Lauren Murray got so much unnecessary hate :umm2:

I didn't hate Lauren Murray, she wasn't for me :laugh:

but I agree about Lola, she was amazing.

[Cal.]

Mess I got confused between the Lauren's then

[Cal.]

Actually completely forgot Lauren Platt existed

[Daniel-X]

Lauren Murray got TONS of unwarranted hate on here. I think it was cos she pushed one of 4th Impact, which isn't really that bad.

I think everyone did welp, a 4th placer normally gets a record deal but she didn't :laugh:

[Cal.]

Lola Saunders definitely was better than the other girls that year. Lauren Platt and Chloe Jasmine were ok/average and Steph Nala was ****. Cheryl should have picked Kerianne.

[Daniel-X]

Belle Amie are quite underrated, they're my favourite from 2010.

[Cal.]

I think everyone did welp, a 4th placer normally gets a record deal but she didn't :laugh:

She's probably done better than any of the contestants from 2014 besides Fleur though, she'a children's TV presenter now:laugh:

[LukeB]

Lola Saunders definitely was better than the other girls the year. Lauren Platt and Chloe Jasmine were ok/average and Steph Nala was ****. Cheryl should have picked Kerianne.

I agree with this especially about Steph, she suits a group rather than being solo. She was way too weak

[Adamw92]

Sorry but I completely disagree. Lauren Platt was the best that year other than Kerianne.

But I agree about Kiera's Return of the Mack performance :love: so underrated.

[LukeB]

She's probably done better than any of the contestants from 2014 besides Fleur though, she'a children's TV presenter now:laugh:

I didn't even know this lmao

[Daniel-X]

Lauren Murrays performance of You Don't Own Me didn't get enough love, it was the performance of the series.

[Cal.]

Cheryl seemed to have no time for Lola though</3

I remember Lola's last week when they acted like Cheryl had worked with her so much and she was coming back with a bang and that it turned out Cheryl just had Lola's hair dyed :laugh:

[LukeB]

Actually How will I know was Lauren Platts last good performance

[Daniel-X]

Lola got snubbed by production for the likes of Ben, Jay, Paul, Lauren etc.

[Cal.]

I was genuinely shocked when Cheryl put neither Lola or Kerianne in her top 3</3

She should have picked Lola, Kerianne and Lauren and then Chloe Jasmine should have been the wildcard.

[LukeB]

Cheryl seemed to have no time for Lola though</3

I remember Lola's last week when they acted like Cheryl had worked with her so much and she was coming back with a bang and that it turned out Cheryl just had Lola's hair dyed :laugh:

I think all of the judges had time for one person that year except for Louis because he didn't even like any of his acts :joker:

and I remember that :laugh:

[Daniel-X]

2014 was such a weak line up besides Fleur though I thought. 2015 actually had a strong lineup but nearly everyone good went early on (Alien, Mason, Monica etc)

[Cal.]

Lauren Murrays performance of You Don't Own Me didn't get enough love, it was the performance of the series.

:love:

I genuinely loved every single one of Lauren's performances though. (Even though we were robbed of her as she didn't have as many as she should have done for 4th place bc of the **** 7 week thing </3 )

[Adamw92]

Actually How will I know was Lauren Platts last good performance

On the main show, I agree. Her sing-off performance of I Know Where I've Been that same week was by far her best on the show and it was ridiculous that it wasn't a majority result for her to stay.

[Cal.]

2014 was such a weak line up besides Fleur though I thought. 2015 actually had a strong lineup but nearly everyone good went early on (Alien, Mason, Monica etc)

I agree. They were all weak/boring besides Fleur, Lola, Lauren and Jack.

[Cal.]

and I remember that :laugh:

Wasn't Louis obsessed with the idea of kicking some of his band members out that year? :laugh:

I genuinely loved every single one of Lauren's performances though. (Even though we were robbed of her as she didn't have as many as she should have done for 4th place bc of the **** 7 week thing </3 )

Yeah Lauren was consistently good I always thought but production turned her into the 'female villain' (see: Misha B, Hannah Barrett) that year for a bit of PR so she was doomed.

[Cal.]

Omfg I only just realised that Olly told Monica she was going home before he was supposed to. I just thought he added up the judge's votes wrong and thought she had more to go - not that he knew she had been eliminated from the voting or whatever.

[LukeB]

On the main show, I agree. Her sing-off performance of I Know Where I've Been that same week was by far her best on the show and it was ridiculous that it wasn't a majority result for her to stay.

What did she sing on week 8?

Wasn't Louis obsessed with the idea of kicking some of his band members out that year? :laugh:

Yeah he wanted to get rid of some because he hated the idea of having 8 members in one boy band but it didn't happen so it looked like he didn't really care lmao.

[Denver]

Yeah he wanted to get rid of some because he hated the idea of having 8 members in one boy band but it didn't happen so it looked like he didn't really care lmao.

should have took his advice

[Adamw92]

What did she sing on week 8?

Oh wait. I've got it mixed up, IKWIB was her bottom 2 for Week 8, she was safe in Week 7. But in Week 8 she sang Clarity and Don't You Worry Child.

[LukeB]

Don't you worry child suited her but Clarity was a bad choice looking back.

[Adamw92]

Don't you worry child suited her but Clarity was a bad choice looking back.

I agree, if she'd sung the more slowed down version of Clarity it would have suited her more but I loved Don't You Worry Child. She was almost safe that week as well :fist:

I'm still not over him being robbed.

I do love me a male powerhouse vocalist, give me soul and passion over a can of paint with a guitar any day of the week :clap1:

[Shaun]

omg I knew someone sang Fallin' and I stanned but I couldn't remember who

[DaNasty]

Laura White- Somebody Else's Guy
One of the most underrated, amazing contestants in the history of The X Factor. I was shocked when she was eliminated in week 5. This was an incredible, almost forgotten performance from her. I love the power in her voice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ-cHhXpEwU

Treyc Cohen- Purple Rain
As much as I love Ruth Lorenzo's version of Purple Rain. I thought Treyc's rendition was also outstanding and well class. Both were different arrangements but I felt Treyc's more. An underrated performance

Did someone say best performance of the series?

[Shaun]

I'm annoyed he didn't save I Didn't Know My Own Strength for the lives bc that might just be on the same level as Ruth's Always for me.

[Black Dagger]

His Chandelier >>>>

But that performance was when everybody on here thought it'd be funny to call him Andreflop. The ****ing tragedies. So nobody appreciated it.

[Shaun]

the fumes on here when he made the final over lauren bland <3

[Liam-]

He's easily my favourite male contestant ever, it was inevitable he'd get trashed towards the end, the good ones always do bless them.

[Strictly Jake]

I'm annoyed he didn't save I Didn't Know My Own Strength for the lives bc that might just be on the same level as Ruth's Always for me. that was going to be his winners single

[Strictly Jake]

Janet Devlin was underrated I still absolutely love her voice

[Daniel-X]

2012 was worst

Oh yes, tea!

[Mystic Mock]

My top 5.

1. Kye Sones - Save The World
2. Lauren Platt - Dark Horse
3. Lauren Platt - Don't You Worry Child
4. Aiden Grimshaw - Thriller
5. Hannah Barrett - Skyfall (should never have been in the bottom two on that night)

[Mystic Mock]

Sorry but I completely disagree. Lauren Platt was the best that year other than Kerianne.

But I agree about Kiera's Return of the Mack performance :love: so underrated.

I understand the viewers have to judge on the performances, but Lauren Platt like most of the acts that series was humiliated to make way for the Fleur show in Simon's eyes.

Lauren was clearly not a diva singer, yet was being given songs where she had to belt knowing that she couldn't sing that style of Music, it doesn't make her bad, it's just not her style, just like how OTY couldn't do Charli XCX.

And with Lauren Murray she suffered for being confident which The X Factor likes conceited personalities, plus Lauren Murray was more of an emotive performer than an actual vocalist imo.

[Mystic Mock]

Lola got snubbed by production for the likes of Ben, Jay, Paul, Lauren etc.

Lola was a poor Sam Bailey, and she was **** so it doesn't say much good things for Lola.:joker:

[Mystic Mock]

[Ross.]

I always rooted for Melanie McCabe, it's a shame it never worked out for her

[LukeB]

2013 was a 50/50 year, it had some good people but the winner and final 2 were awful

[Adamw92]

I agree. Still can't get over her being robbed of her place in the final though. Its ridiculous to have a sing-off when there is 4 left, Lauren had the 3rd most amount of votes from the public so she should have been in the final.

And with Lauren Murray she suffered for being confident which The X Factor likes conceited personalities, plus Lauren Murray was more of an emotive performer than an actual vocalist imo.

Again, I agree. She put everything into her final performance and still lost out to Bland Chesterman. Awful.

Lauren Murray, Firestonehttps://youtu.be/S2Fb8ZBH1ks
Simon was MAD when he criticised this. Perfection

Janet Devlin, chasing cars https://youtu.be/1QxZWd49pjs
No matter how much they wanted rid of her, Janet should've never left after this masterpiece

Lucie Jones, This is mehttps://youtu.be/h72Ealbvuls
I also can't believe she left that week, she took that theme and killed it. Could've been her in the movie and no one would've knew

Amelia Lilly, show must go onhttps://youtu.be/7V3OjRxvsTE
Although she did win the vote when she returned

And that's just a few, I could pick SO many underrated performances, a few of which have already been added!

Both would've been more acceptable winners than the ones we actually got as well because Lauren Platt would've promoted that you can sing subtle and actually win, and Lauren Murray promotes the actual raw performance element that the show never appreciates.

[supertv247]

Both Lauren's were absolutely robbed by bland males the past 2 years now. Both finals would've been a LOT more exciting and memorable with them

Firestone is my favourite Lauren Murray performance, the way that she performs it is top notch.

I also found in that year that Max's Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Secret Garden, and Seann's Life On Mars performances were extremely underrated that series.

[Mystic Mock]

Both Lauren's were absolutely robbed by bland males the past 2 years now. Both finals would've been a LOT more exciting and memorable with them

Tbh in series 12 I felt like joke acts were all getting past Lauren Murray at the top 5.

And every time Fleur kept beating Lauren Platt and Andrea kept mystifying me with no performing or vocal skills, I mean with enough practice anyone can do the dance routine route on TXF and it bought her second place.:joker:

And I'm saying bought as Simon used a lot of the shows money on her backing dancers.:joker:

[supertv247]

oh, and this one, Seann Miley Moore - California Dreaming
https://youtu.be/IRvZNSSfnzE

How he left the competition in week 2, after this performance and his also amazing sing off I will NEVER know. Last years double eliminations were terrible.
He should've been a finalist. His voice was insane.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I LOVE Fleur and she was my winner once she performed Uptown Funk, But Lauren should've been second!
And Lauren Murray was my winner the whole way, along with Louisa, the fact Che & RnB came above her is hideous

[Mystic Mock]

Fleur just danced through Uptown Funk imo, completely overrated performance in my eyes.

And Reggie N Bollie was at least different at the top 5, it was Che, Louisa, and 4th Impact that was my issue at that point as they were all interchangeable from each other whilst all being weaker than Lauren Murray out of that type of singer imo.

At the top 5 I would've had Lauren Murray and Reggie N Bollie as the final two.

[Black Dagger]

Lauren really wasn't all that.

[Mystic Mock]

Lauren really wasn't all that.

Series 12 was **** tbf and she stood out against some of the bad bunch that was making it far.

Once Mason left it was all of the **** ones remaining.
