Yes.
We have been complaining about his crazy eyes, awkward faces and strange internal crushing of sound,
but,
I said in the beginning the real show-stopper for Aiden is he does not have a likable natural voice quality.
Sorry.
Honestly Im not trying to beat the kid up because I admire him for a lot of effort and being a nice young man,
but,
He does NOT have an appealing tone, voice quality and no matter if he overcame his other problems - I don't want to hear that voice anymore. Doing any songs. Ever again.

Aiden has a fantastic and unique voice, he is also a unique and original performer, For me the songs don't last long enough when he sings as also for Rebecca and Matt too,.

I'd buy all his recorded work tomorrow if there was any,I love the intensity he uses in performing and really, he cannot be going anywhere,he has to be a main contender to win this series.

His voice is incredible and he will sell multi millions of CDs Worldwide,he is one of the most original and unique performers X Factor have ever had,not once has he just done a copycat type version of any song he's done so far.

I think Aiden's crap! Last night, however, he did sing what I would imagine to be a difficult song to sing, very well.

I don't enjoy watching him though.. He makes me uncomfortable :)

It seems to me that sometimes Aiden is absolutely amazing, unique etc.. and other times he's absolutely awful.. all within a few seconds of the same song too :conf::conf:

I think he needs to start again with a simple song.. no extra words, no weirdness.. just normal singing please!!

Geeezz... I'm forcing myself to watch Aiden now... PLEASE MAKE THIS STOP.. absolutely PAINFUL.
This is like someone dragging a fork across a blackboard. Just unbearable ahhhhggg!

and that is just LISTENING... never mind the twisted grimace and just downright painful contorting.

Is every else blind and deaf or what?
Horrible!

...I haven't watched this x factor but isn't the voice what you should be concentrating on?

Not exactly.
Yes, I see what you are saying but X-Factor is more than that. The term 'X-Factor' is that idea of a performer not only with pure singing talent but a special sort of 'charisma' in their personality and some here wanted to say 'magnetism' (or even animal magnetism).
A special sort of charm.

An good example might be Elvis Presley. He was not that great of a singer or dancer and it was not just his good looks... he had a certain 'x-factor' not easily defined but a swagger, a wink, some kind of unquantifiable attention grabbing style and charisma.

a good 'bad' example might be (in this case) Treyc Cohen who is, in fact, a fantastic singer and is gorgeous,
yet,
she has no 'X-Factor' going on. That 'attention magnet' is missing. That charm or 'unique sparkle' is missing somehow.

But yeah i mean I think it is understood that pure singing ability, skills and qualities are part of that 'X-Factor' too.
Then again?
Wagner is atrocious and could barely be described as 'singing' or 'dancing' yet seems to get through with some retarded X-Factor alone.

Matt doesn't have too much 'X-Factor' (though he sparked a little more tonight) but his singing is so superb its carrying him and doesn't need that much X-Factor.

I don't agree with you about Matt, Proximo I think he's definately got 'x' factor but I do agree about TreyC!

I also hate the silly and affected face-pulling and hand gestures. He should try to get over himself. Talk about self-satisfied over-actor! I find it embarrassing to watch him because I find him quite ridiculous.

What about Mad World? That was a pure rip-off.

I hope he wins :D
