Marcus or Amelia only two worthy winners:hugesmile:

Pyramid* 27-11-2011 12:50 AM

Marcus or Amelia for me - either of them and I'll be happy.

I can't believe people aren't worshipping Janets second performance tonight, it was unbelievable. What a star.

I wish I could share your enthusiasm. I think she's awful (seriously) - I've never understood the fuss - she's got a voice that grates - and sounds really put on / fake.

Amelia is far and away the best, closely followed by Marcus. Used to be a big fan of Janet's and I still like her, but I find her difficult to watch now, and feel sorry for her, and I don't like feeling like that. Misha's good but I'm not fussed by her and I like Little Mix, though I don't know whether I'd want them to win...only reason would be because it'd be 'different'.

I found it as bad as the first.. the song didn't suit her voice at all she also looked awful and a bit gothic for some reason :crazy:

You obviously don't get it then, she's amazing, most amazing voice I've heard in years.

Gothic is good. Under the bridge is actually one of my favourite songs of all time and I would be hugely critical of anyone covering it (all Saints murdered it) Janet did a fine job, best performance of the series, I would say.

Nah, don't agree on this one. I think she completely overplays her voice - I do genuinely think she's completely over-rated. Says a lot that she's forgotten the words to songs twice.

Novo 27-11-2011 01:20 AM

she will be gone tomorrow, tonight has sealed her fate can't see her staying over anyone after the two performances

Jords 27-11-2011 01:25 AM

If Misha is B2 with her their is a slight chance as theres the case that shes been there 4 times.

You're wrong. She's amazing.

I think I'll decide what my own view is on her, , and that is..... she is over-rated.

A singer in a singing competition who cannot even remember the words they are meant to be singing.... says it all really, it does defeat the purpose! Lol.

I hope you are right !

Mystic Mock 27-11-2011 02:10 AM

The problem with Janet is,is that she is quite unprofessional with forgeting the words twice now,although I did like her 2nd performance and I found she enjoyed it more when it started getting more rocked up.

abcd 27-11-2011 10:09 AM

just as i said marcus upped his game last night, while the other front running stumbled BIG TIME

I really like Janet, I know she also wasn't well too but the thing I was stunned at most was that she even decided to sing 'Mmmbop' anyway.

Her 2nd performance as you and Niamh point out was really good. I hope she did enough to pull it all back with the public for that performance alone.

MusicXian 27-11-2011 10:48 AM

The first minute and half of his 2nd song he was shockingly bad.

fruit_cake 27-11-2011 10:53 AM

Marcus is my favourite, he has it all imo

er shockingly bad can only be used for janets mmm bop, yeah i agree it wasnt the best start but he found his way in the second part and recovered the performance

over all out of the 3 favourites marcus was miles ahead of the other 2, and the bookies odds reflect this

MusicXian 27-11-2011 11:37 AM

Janet's performance for the first was worst than shockingly bad, but anyone given that crap song would do bad :D However Marcus sang a Stevie Wonder song and murdered it I thought. The fact he is favourite shows how sub-par this competition is this year. However, good luck with your bet, the fact only Misha managed 2 good performances last night and Little Mix were rather average at best meas your best is still looking very solid given Marcus' very good first performance.

abcd 27-11-2011 11:44 AM

the first instalment of my winnings comes if he makes the top 3, im sitting on a decent profit once that comes in, so come the final i will be in a no lose situation hopefully!

LOL@the first sentence of this post, contradictory to the max

MusicXian 27-11-2011 11:53 AM

He will be final 3. The producers want a girl-boy-group final IMO. So even if Marcus is against anyone in B2 he will survive.

The aim for the next 2 weeks seems to be to get rid of Janet and Amelia IMO. Janet this week then Amelia next. Having Misha in the final like they have seemingly wanted all along.

Actually I think this week they are trying to get Little Mix in B2 against Janet so they can keep them (suggesting to me Little Mix are maybe scraping above the barrel at the moment and not coming first or second in the polls), hoping next week then that Little Mix get the sympathy bounce (and hopefully a good performance) to the final meaning one of Amelia or Misha finish bottom of the votes next week so they can get rid of one of them. Thats the plan anyway I think.

Your Marcus bet IMO is very safe, I think only Janet could have defeated him, but the production have literally thrown the textbook of how to get rid of a contestant at her. Actually it may backfire that she forgot the words as it means Janet's supporters will vote in their droves (actually why the judges comments actually werent as bad as they should have been maybe trying not to stoke this added fire up for them), and with that I think Janet could still survive B2, but I think the damage is already done for her in terms of winning the show.

Amelia definitely got the pimping treatment this week suggesting to me they wanted her through this week for some reason, but will sacrifice her next week. Her second performance made my ears bleed, yet the judges said she was great, listen over and she couldnt hit a single high note. Awful. I used to like that song too. :conf:

abcd 27-11-2011 12:14 PM

if little mix were to fall into the bottom 2 now, it really would be all over. Janet appears to have a large fan base which she has gained soley from her audition/bootcamp performances, unfortunately we are now at the stage of the competition where you really need to be picking up floating votes to stay in the competition, and for that reason she is in huge danger tonight, id say her and misha bottom 2 with janet to go
