i love dannii shes my favorite judge, and i think shes a good mentor but i agree the song choices havent been so great. we'll see i guess

cheryl is rubbish

Always thought Cowell was a decent judge, but this year more than ever he has his favourites, and, apart from NO Direction,they are in Cheryl's category. I like Dannii, but a perfect mentor she isn't. Louis...oh dear. And Cheryl....lucky lucky lucky. Her contract says she cannot have the oldies or the groups lol.

Also no mater what the events a year or so after the results, Dannii is also the 'only' judge and mentor to ever have had both winner and runner up in any X Factor and from the start of that particular X Factor series few people would have had Rhydian and Leon Jackson anywhere near their top 2 of that series but she got them there.

I can take Leon...but Rhydian?

I think most would have placed him at least top 3. Most would even have predicted him as the winner

Rhydian would have won only for her toning him down to absolutely nothing. I'm telling you, she hasn't got a clue when it comes to song choices and styling.

Nah, Rhydian lost because Leon got the 'cute' vote, unfortunately.

She went mad with Go West and then decided to turn him far too serious, and that's not why he had gained popularity. He should have sang Phantom of the Opera on Final night but she opted for a safe, kinda drippy number. I mean, he sang Somewhere beautifully, but he'll be remembered for the crazy numbers.

shes good at judging i think

That's not entirely true, because during the Final [well, that Final in particular], the contestant's chose which song to perform again.

Scroll down to the '15th December 2007 (Final)' bit:

His first song was a Christmas one [O Holy Night], the second a duet [You Raise Me Up] and the third his favourite from the series [Somewhere].

This.

Rhydian was a creepy thing. It was dull vs freak as far as Im concerned.

The way he totally changed his personality from audition stages to the final shows was just so phoney. Then theres his obsession with hiding his gingerness. Sad.

Messed up majorly with Nicolo.

Hit and miss so far with Aiden.

Perfect song for Matt last weekend, not sure about the first weekend. He managed to just about pull it off imo, and it was stupid to give him a song like that in the first week.

In previous series' she has been crap with most of her acts.

Loved Matts and Aidens song choices so far and thoose are who i care about :love:

Dannii is a good mentor but only when it suits and its usually when you can tell she genuinely likes the contestants e.g. Leon in her first year (she completely shafted one of the guys in her category and Rhydian managed to get by on his talent). In series 5 she hated Rachel and gave her bad choices to the point where Rachel started picking herself and she didn't get Ruth right until about week 6 or 7. She did well last year though

*shudders*

Go West was in disco week, that was always going to be tricky no matter what he was doing

Rhydian was also portrayed as the villain and a stubborn few wouldn't have changed their minds and voted against him in the final 2

I agree about Phantom of the Opera, I wasn't a Rhydian fan but that was one of the best performances ever on XF and very underrated

"Get the Party Started" was my personal Rhydian highlight. :D

I like Danni IMO she's the most genuine of the judges and I think she genuinely cares about her acts, and its not about her own collosal ego like it is with the others.. Rhydian was brilliant, I still can't believe he didn't win.. I can't even remember who Leon is, how on earth did he win??? that is a true mystery!!

The last time I heard of Leon Jackson, he was appearing in one of my local nightclubs! I can't believe he won over Rhydian either!

Sing once again for me....


Imagine Leon singing the same thing!!! :joker:

:cheer:
That for me, is one of the best XF performances... ever!

And, no Leon is not in the same class and could never sing a song like that!

:)

Sharon didn't like him, look at 1:25.. I reckon she's thinking aaaah he's good but I hate him how annoying

God, that woman can sneer!

I have to admit that I didn'tlike him at first (not his voice, just him) but I loved him by the end. I'm glad he's been such a success since then
