Are people still branding Andrea as a ballad singer after him tackling Relight My Fire?

A Song For Liam

Is Cowell in this life? Or in one of fantasy? He’ll be caught in a fans slide If he don’t get with reality He should save all our tears -- Open his ears and see -- Stevi’s just a poor singer who tries our sympathy-- Because he’s stayed too long, it’s time to go -- Struggles high, is flat too low -- Anytime he does go, can’t be soon enough for me, for me.

Mama, Stevi just killed a song
And I don’t mean to scoff
But I turned my volume off
Mama, X Factor had just begun
But now I've had to turn away
Mama, ooo ooo ooo
Stevie’s screeching made me cry
And if he’s not gone this time tomorrow
X Factor’s gone, it won’t be on, and nothing ‘ll really matter.

Too late, the final’s come And so has my greatest fear
Fecking Stevie is still here
So goodbye X Factor - I've got to go
Gotta leave you off my screen and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (every day the din grows)
Good music shouldn’t die
I sometimes wish Cowell had never been born at all.

I hear a tone-deaf screeching little man
Scaramouch, scaramouch why won’t his fans all go?
Thunderbolt and lightning – He’s really, really annoying me.

Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro – not magnifico

Am I just a lone voice? Won’t nobody listen to me?
Stevie’s just a wank singer, an affront to real melody
Spare my poor ears from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you make him go?
Bismillah! No – Cowell won’t make him go - let him go
Bismillah! No - Cowell won’t make him go - let him go
Bismillah! Cowell won’t make him go - let him go
He will not let him go - let him go (never)
Never make him go - let him go
Never let him go – ooo ooo ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh for fecks sake, he gives me earache, gives me earache, For feck’s sake make him go
.
My doctor has some earplugs put aside for me
for me
for me

So you think you he should murder each song that he tries? So you think old Liam should just listen and cry? Oh this is crazy – can’t do this to music baby Just get Stevi out – just get Stevi right out of here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Music’s all that really matters
Anyone can see
Good music’s all that really matters to me.
Every day the din grows.

Love from Kirk.

p.s. When Stevi's singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' turn the volume down and drown him out by singing this version at the top of your lovely Welsh voice.
(or call the heddlu and report him for crimes against music)

pps - nThe fecker won't format correctly - sorry.

There has been talks again that Sk could be split into two groups. I don't see this happening. But if they did, it's unfair and pointless because it's obvious which 5 would make a good group. Just need to get rid of the 14 year old, Reece, and the Irish one then there is a potential group there! I know this is in the wrong topic but meh

[GoldHeart]

some pretty good performances
but most the songs surprised me
and i thought they'd choose more iconic well known songs like
Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal ,Bad or even Beat It
i expected Ben to sing 1 of those or even Dirty diana
and i thought somebody would do startin somthin
and im surprised stevi didn't sing i want to break free
and i thought somebody would sing we will rock you

No, now they've moved on to Lauren.

She needs to do more uptempo. I know she was sick this week, but all i hear from her is everything slowed down.

[Mystic Mock]

She did do Dark Horse last week though, and imo everyone should play to their strengths on TXF as long as they don't sound the same every week which to me Lauren doesn't.

None of them could of done the dance sections those songs require. The stage wouldn't allow for Smooth Criminal either (unless they did a less intense lean).
Also, Billie Jean has a part of the song that is just instrumental which is then when the moonwalk takes place. The judges would of complained about copying it I assume. They could of taken that out I guess, but it would of been a bit weird. I think they were better off avoiding those songs.

Jay same thing. All he ever sings is ballads.

[Vanessa]

Next week is Big Band week. Andrea should sing either "My way", "That's amore" or "Con te partiro'", Andrea Boccelli. Something italian.

but they dont have to do the whole dance performance
its not the west end theatre . and in previous xfactor years we have had billie jean and dirty diana and there was no problems
and as we know this year contestants have done their own spin and different versions of well known songs
so i think they could of done those songs
i wasn't expected the least popular songs

Dirty Diana doesn't have a required dancing part. Those spins in the past haven't been all that great really. Aiden Grimshaw singing Thriller was absolutely woeful beyond belief. Billie Jean was done with a twist by Amelia Lily, I forgot that. You make a good point there. It's not really a song requiring dance so, yeah, it could of been done.

However the likes of Beat It and Smooth Criminal really are nothing without the dance parts. There are some songs that should just never be touched, though. Thriller has never been done properly for example.

I think the acts were far better off doing the MJ songs they did thinking about it. MJ's slower songs are mainly easier to do. Only The Young did the only up tempo MJ song and destroyed it.
