I liked The Risk in week 1,I thought they was ok in week 2, week 3 and week 4 I have hated them and yet the judges still praise them.
Do you think The Risk is overhyped.

I don't think they do, I think they overhype groups in general. The Risk are quite good imo

The problem with both X Factors this year is the amount of pre-recorded backing vocals. Yes, the boys are singing the verses and the choruses, but the choruses are also pre-recorded so they are singing over the top of them.
The USA X Factor dubbed the judges houses with studio recordings of the songs, which sounded ridiculous because you can never sound like you're in a studio when you're singing in someone's huge garden! It's the strongest use of vocal boosting on this years show. It wasn't present at any stage when Leona/Alexandra or Shane won. It seems to have sprung up from last year. If you look at the first of Paula's boybands, they're like Diversity vs a boyband. They make The Risk look like buskers. I don't like groups that are put together in front of our eyes. I know most groups ie Take That/Spice Girls/Steps started off as 5 people replying to adverts for a band but thats a bit different. |

They are brilliant. They are a lot better than JLS were when they were on (and they were my favourites).. This was their first off week, but I doubt they'll be anywhere near the bottom 2 still

Yes I do jf, like yourself I liked them the first week but feel they've gone downhill since. In fact I feel that with a good few of the acts.

They always overhype groups because they want them to do well. They don't pick already together groups because they generally don't have the right image to be a successful group; so they put together groups who don't have enough time to get to know each other well enough to have chemistry. They got lucky with One Direction - otherwise, I believe, every other group to have made it to the final of the X Factor existed as a group before they auditioned. They really ought to start putting groups together, turning them down at boot camp and telling them to come back next year.

The Risk were great in week 1 but they've got worse and worse each week, last night was very Nu Vibe-esque. I think their days are numbered, they'll be this years shock elimination. I think the girls will go further than them

Nope, you are not alone JF.
They are truly hellish and as for them last night: they were absolutely rubbish. So too was Janet Devlin - why the hell she's still there I will never know. |

Janet, and Sophie for that matter, are just one trick ponies and its a travesty that Amelia was booted out over them. Amelia would have walked the entire thing. She has the performance ability of Misha and all important likeability which would have set her apart from anyone else. Kelly thinks with her heart rather than her head.

But when you're stripped of your identity, given an iconic male song that isn't the anywhere near the kind of stuff you'd normally sing, put on first on the first live show and given a pink rinse, its never going to go well.
Her version of ET was miles better than Little Mix's last night |

I never really like the groups, male or females, but there is something I like about the Risk. I've enjoyed all their tunes, however last night's was a real dip in form for me.

I think they are definitely over hyping Little Mix. I think simon wants a new girl band on the scene and has ordered them to over hype them.

I also agree with Sophie. The only contenders for me are Kitty, Misha and the other lad, not Craig - the young guy with the walking stick act last night.... he's really good. |

It reminds me of a few series back when you had Hope and that boyband, everyone hyped the boyband up but they ended up going out by the 4th week. I can see a similar thing happening here if Little Mix continues to improve.

Futureproof, ahahahahahahaha. They looked ridiculous by virtue of having three tall guys and two short ones, and iirc they kept putting the short ones on the ends so they looked like afterthoughts in the few performances they got to do. Hope >
