Will Young has an extremely average voice. He has no range whatsoever, and his vocals, like his personality, are dull beyond belief. He's no oil painting either, and nor is Lemar.
James Bellamy lisped far too much, and his voice wasn't anything to write home about, either. He was also very irritating. 4Tune actually managed to turn in a worse performance than they inflicted upon us last year - they were truly painful to listen to. The Brothers were patchy, and their harmonies were out of synch. And is there really a market today for doo-wop? Alexandra was good, but I've no idea who Tariq was at all.
Trevor may well crash and burn when it comes to bootcamp, but he's head and shoulders above the likes of James the lisping lamb as far as vocal ability is concerned.

I do think Lee Ryan is over-rated, and the stuff he's doing now is worse than Blue were, which is really saying something! The only way I could watch Blue was by concentrating on the gorgeous Simon Webbe!
I think Will Young is very good at what he does, although it's not my kind of thing at all. I think Lemar is great, and very good looking.
Can someone remind who James Bellamy is please? I can't bring him to mind at all
I wasn't particularly keen on 4Tune. I didn't watch X Factor last year, so didn't see them on that, but didn't think they were that good this year. I do think The Brothers are good though. They have a lot of potential. I like Alexandra, but I also can't think of who Tariq is.
I did feel sorry for that young girl last night, who Sharon had the row with Louis about, but Louis was absolutely right - she could not sing at all. He was quite harsh, but she's at stage school, so clearly wants to make it in the entertainment industry, so she's going to have to get used to a lot more rejection than that. In any event, I thought her mother seemed very pushy and it did make me wonder if this was really her mother's dream, and not the girl's dream.
