Nicky im posting the performances for you as host like i did with kate

[Strictly Jake]

Im trying to keep it as similar to the x factor as I can. So its the judges houses performances that is shown at this stage

[Nicky91]

no you won't Jake, what a mess of a ''game'' if you do not have any input yourself and just have to make random choices

what is the point of calling it interactive when it isn't that, and just a random x factor simulator where i have nothing to say in

You do have a say in it. At this stage of the actual x factor the mentors dont get a say in it until they are the mentors of the acts in the live shows. Im posting all the judges houses performances for each category. But fine quit if your gonna have a hissy fit

[Nicky91]

i chose my top 6 because i was confident i could do some awesome things with any of them, with any of my own song choices/decisions

now based upon their x factor journey's my top 6 are just rubbish and lame

[Nicky91]

i am not wanting to quit Jake i genuinely had interest in this game

Then play it. Im posting all the judges houses performances. You then give comments on that performance. You get to choose your top 3 and there is so much back catalogue of there performances you will get to choose each week. And I might take your advuce in board and every other week we get to choose our own song for them. So its a mix of their actual performances and our own ideas. Yeah?

(Sorry nicky there wasnt a video of his judges houses that didnt have all the other boys in that year on it)

[Strictly Jake]

So Nicky give your thoughts to each performance and go and think who your taking through with Epsen

Then tell the acts who is going through and who isnt

(Had to post it all in one go Nicky as need to go somewhere)

[Nicky91]

it's not bad, i guess it's full of genuine emotion which is good

i have to be very honest, James does grow on me while i've not been a fan at first



Joe, hmmm you are vocal quality, but compared to James, the emotion feels forced rather than genuine at times, also not your entire fault if you are too musical stage


Marcus, you are a performer at heart, this was also very good


Matt, your voice has a lot of depth, very edgy, somehow you remind me of one x factor usa finalist i adore ''Jeff Gutt'' you got a good range for rock/alternative rock music

Jahmene, your vocal range is out of this world, i mean it is even higher than some of the female singers out there

Leon, i like your bit of a humble stage presence, nothing too arrogant or too theatrical, just plain Leon is what we get, can definitely understand it so well you had won that year, given GBP overall likes rooting for the more down to earth journey contestants, this performance was nice


now Espen, let's go face the facts, and decide on our top 3 for the liveshows

James

Espen: i feel like public will walk away with him, however can you choose right songs for him, when that time comes too

Nicky: maybe, i have a picture in mind where i wanna go with James i guess

Joe

Espen: personally not my cup of tea, his musical stage presence, however Joe seems cute enough to also have potential for some voters

Nicky: yes could be true that part, but i got such a strong team and i really do not know

Marcus

Espen: if you want some entertainment, wild performances you need him on your top 3, also think you can get more out of him, with your own song ideas when time comes

Nicky: i like his performer abilities, qualities for sure, but should i go for vocals or performance, or both

Matt

Espen: i can soooo write a song for this man, heavily reminds me of Pat Monahan from Train, whom i also worked with, i cannot find any flaws on him either

Nicky: yes i agree Matt is really great

Jahmene

Espen: his vocals might be solid, but all those high notes idk it might be too much to continue with that for long run on this show, people might be getting put off from all that

Nicky: i know his backstory, very emotional, but the high notes as impressive they are idk how other judges will feel about it on longer run

Leon

Espen: he's good, however can he become perfect as we head into liveshows?

Nicky: i believe he can listen to any constructive criticism we give him


ok, first act i am taking through into my top 3 for liveshows is..... *Drum Roll*

Spoiler:

Matt Cardle

second act i am taking through into my top 3 for liveshows is...…. *Drum Roll*

Spoiler:

because i have a soft spot for this person, and i believe i need a bit of everything in my top 3, Leon Jackson

and last one to go through in my top 3 for liveshows is...……. *Drum Roll*

Spoiler:

with a lot of regret towards the other 3, and i truly wish there will be a wildcard but i have no other choice but to pick James Arthur for the liveshows, i'd be a fool if i don't choose him

[Strictly Jake]

Well done nicky

The top 3 boys are

Matt Cardle
Leon Jackson
James Arthur
