[Mystic Mock]

I watched the first week just in the vain that this attempt didn't drive me away like other series have done in the past, again this series makes X Factor UK look like it's modern to the very core with the song choices, and I know where The X Factor gets it's obsession with shouters from.

However there was some potential from some of the acts.

1. Colton Dixon - The wrong song for him, but he has a good voice that isn't too ordinary, but isn't gonna make your ears bleed either, he would do brilliantly with a Radiohead or The Fray song.

2. Heejun Han - The most polished vocal of the night, sadly his captivating vocal got sabotaged with a really boring song choice.

3. DeAndre Brackensick - It was okay for the first live show, it's not as amazing as Youtube hyped it up to be though.

4. Joshua Ledet - He did okay on the night, I can understand why he got lost in the crowd though as nothing especially stuck out in his performance to make people wanna vote for him.

5. Jessica Sanchez - I would say to have her barred for such a cliched song choice, but the others was so bad that I'll let her average take on a very overdone song choice pass.

6. Elise Testone - There's potential with her, I just don't know if the production will ever let her shine though.

7. Erika Van Pelt - A decent vocalist, but she's just very forgettable.

8. Jeremy Rosado - He was a bit poor, but he could've improved given some time compared to the one that I'm gonna place bottom for such a **** performance.

9. Jermaine Jones - He just was bad in every way, just not horrific like the ones below.

10. Philip Philips - I don't get how he won yet at all with his weird movements and bad vocals onstage, plus the song choice that should have him barred from the competition, his just lucky that personal preference didn't put him bottom of my rankings, and that the show really seemed to love him where it counts.

11. Skylar Laine - Painful! seriously even Country singers shout on this show, I don't like that genre of Music anyway but that's just low even for that genre.

12. Hollie Cavanagh - A shouty rendition, nothing good to say about this performance.

13. Shannon Magrane - She hit a couple of nice subtle notes towards the end of the song, but there was just so much wrong here, one she shouted through most of it, and two she picked a more cliched song choice than even Jessica did.

I'm gonna go and watch week 2 now, I hope that you enjoyed reading my comments.
