X Factor 2009 week 3 results show:
Welcome, welcome, welcome dear readers to our X Factor, week 3 results show live post. Sunday nights…just got bloggy! Follow us as we moan about having to watch Westlife and Michael Buble. Actually, that’s gonna be tougher to watch than John and Edward. Where’s the alcohol? We’re gonna need it.
The only lesson learned from tonight’s shitty group performance was that John and Edward do look like that other famous Irish duo, Zig and Zag – didn’t they have that crap tufty hair as well? And don’t get me started on the acne..
A couple of Irish muppets are causing mayhem on X Factor
Alphabeat’s Fascination never sounded cheesier, did it ladies and gentlemen? We can only assume that Louis was complaining to Simon that “it just wasn’t Big Band” as the contestants minced up on the stage.
After the inevitable 10 minutes of filler material from Dermot, we eventually get introduced to Westlife. Don’t expect me to say nice things, old lady Westlife fans, I can’t stand ‘em. Are the ‘life moving in a Take That direction? Just wondering ‘coz the song isn’t their usual fodder, and Shane is looking a little bit like Gaz Barlow with his haircut. Nevertheless, the only thing that would make this performance interesting is some fly on the wall footage of Brian McFadden weeping over the corpse of his ’solo’ career as Delta tries to prise the big loser off her shoulder.
Mercifully, we don’t get the obligatory ‘funny’ Simon judging the popular chart act but. But still, Westlife…they’re no Boyzone, are they folks?
After a commercial break, we get further commercial bombardment from Michael Buble. Thinking about it, since Westlife came on stage, it’s been sales sales sales – buy the new Westlife single, whatever insurance sales and ’sue your neighbour’ adverts were on in your region, O’Leary pimping out Alexandra Burke and Cheryl Cole’s various chart achievements and now Michael Buble singing Cry Me A River. Hey, Ofcom…
As for Buble, no offense readers, but I don’t get this low-rent repackaged Big Band nonsense. It’s been going on since Robbie did Swing When You’re Winning, but it’s musical regurgitation of the worst kind. Well, at least he isn’t coked to the eyeballs. Sorry to rant, people, but bleurgh. We get a great one-liner from Dermot when he says to Buble “It’s nice to interview an international star who isn’t weird.” Oh, how we LOLed!
The show moves quickly toward the final two showdown, and all the good acts manage to get back in for another week, even Rachel Adedeji. Brilliant! Except that Danyl Johnson remains on the stage. What’s going on? Yikes, he’s in the bottom two along with Miss Frank – Lloyd Daniels scraped through to next week!
Miss Frank come back on for a version of Love Don’t Live Here Anymore and Graziella’s rapping grates on my nerves. Does it have to be every song? I kind of think that it’ll serve Louis right if these girls get sent home at the expense of John and Edward. Still, like I said last night, they’re not as good as the hype.
Danyl comes up next with his trusty old audition song that we fell in love with With A Little Help From My Friends. Even though it seems he didn’t get much help from the voters. It’s a storming rendition, and hopefully one that’ll save him this week, although we anticipate the judges reaching a deadlock tonight.
Louis naturally backs his own act, Miss Frank. Simon backs Danyl, saying that “it’s a joke” that he’s in the bottom two. Dannii casts her vote next – and chooses to send home Miss Frank. Cheryl decides to play russian roulette and votes out Danyl, making the public vote be the decider. And based on the public vote, Miss Frank are eliminated. It’s sad, but not completely sad.
The wost part of it is that John and Edward are still in the competition, Louis’ last act out of all the groups. Which is funny, because more or less exactly the same thing happened last year – two of the groups got booted out in the first few weeks of the competition. So much for being the ‘guru’ of groups, eh?

Even though I believed that Danyl had a better final song, I think the vote by Cheryl to send it to deadlock was a cowardly vote.
I can not belive that uk likes the crap…
Those two annoying guy John and Edward must go!!!! I hate them sooooo much. They can not sing, they can not dance and they are NOT entertaining!!!!
I can not belive that uk likes the crap…
Those two annoying guy John and Edward must go in next round!!!! I hate them sooooo much. They can not sing, they can not dance and they are NOT entertaining!!!!
That is a joke… What happenned with UK????
Cheryl is an effin’ coward. What’s the point in even BEING there as a JUDGE if you’re not going to JUDGE?
Absolutely ridiculous, Danyl is too good for this stupid, stupid show. He’s BY FAR the best singer, best performer and nicest guy on the show – and people HATE him because of that?
Well forget it, I’m not watching this stupid bloody show any more. If the likes of John and Edward and Lloyd are going through when a true professional and thoroughly nice guy who sings his heart out week in week out like Danyl is in the bottom two – there’s absolutely no point.
This isn’t entertainment, it’s an absolute farce.
Shame on you GBP – totally ridiculous.
What the HELL are John and Edward still doing in this compitition!? Come on guys.. who’s actually voting for these two muppets!?
1) They can’t sing
2) They’re sooo cheesy
3) They must be thee most annoying people in the history of the competition..
Miss Frank and Danyl were in the bottom 2?? WHAT?
Should’ve been John and Edward and Miss Frank.. but they shouldv sang RESPECT.. they were good at it..
The whole shows starting to become a bit of a joke.. Louis is just keeping those two Irish idiots in because they’re Irish
Lucie/ Danyl to win
Alexandra
Northern Ireland
what’s the f**king problem you have with westlife? they are awesome, did any, any of the celeb performances before westlife sing that well on x factor? LIVE?
and you do hate everyone dont you? except for danyl, which is utterly amazing in being pretentious and fake, he sings well, but not better than all of them, watch the performances back, and see his face, his “please-public-love-my-personality” smiles are just appalling, probably explains why he gets to the bottom two.
very pathetic immature stupid article. why watch xfactor ,infact why bother living if all you can do is moan. dont like michael buble,dont like westlife the biggest and best band ever. dont like john and edward, dont like the song fascination blah blah blah. suicide is usually what comes next for someone who has reached a point in their life where they can only critisise , so look forward to reading the death pages in coming weeks for a name saying gerard
westlife’s new single is sooo original. that is seriously their new single. pathetic. almost everyone know who sang the original one and it is way better.
as for buble, well this writer must have his ears plugged onto some weird contraption. his control of his voice is just impecable.
and john and edward is still in the competition??? OH GOD…seriously i cant wait to see them go. guess i have to wait longer.
[...] again, they performed their version of “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore,” which according to unrealitytv.co.uk, included Graziella’s rapping. Danyl went with his audition song, “With A Little Help From My [...]
Oh, I love it! I just got a death threat from a Westlife fan!
Fan backlash is a wonderful thing. You all get so emotional and can’t seem to understand that not everyone shares your taste in music. I hate Big Band, I can’t stand Westlife and I have absolutely no interest in Michael Buble.
I prefer music to be exciting, and – sorry for having a different opinion to you lot – these fake swingers just don’t cut it for me.
Not really sure what you were listening to
Michael Buble was amazing and miles better than Whitney & Robbie. Personally, I think it’s of the best performances we’ve seen from a celeb on X Factor for a while now.
Yeah, Michael Buble was outstanding, there’s no denying that he gave an incredible performance, regardless of whether you like that genre or not.
nope gerard “hateful” mcgarry a death threat would be someone saying they would kill you,wishing you were dead is not a threat.clearly your too busy hating the entire world to understand english. had it just been westlife you hated id be like well fair enough not everyone can appreciate pure brilliant singing,some people cae about instruments and who wrote the words.but its not just westlife its like you just want to find fault with every person around.
as for other comments about john and edward, THEY ROCK , soon as they are out ill stop watching.there full of energy,entertaining and very original which is what people seem to be obsessed about.the last time true talent was seen like john and edward was chico followed by same difference.john and edward to win !!!!
Sorry Ryan “authority on absolutely everything” Redmond, I couldn’t read your comment because I was just hating something I saw on TV. Damn, but it’s been a long, hard day of hating everything.
I’d appreciate a little less of the immature personal insults, thank you very much. I don’t presume to know much about you, but from the quality of your comments, it’s fairly clear you prefer personal attacks to any sort of reasoned debate. Sad, really.
We all have different talents and skills, all in different levels or degree. There wouldn’t be such thing as ‘competition’ if every contestant were the same. Somebody has got to be better than the others. We should appreciate those who joined the x factor for having the courage, the enthusiasm, the patience, the commitment, and above all, the sportmanship they’ve shown. It is better to try than not trying at all!
Wow you are a hateful little person. This was the first time I saw Michael Buble and the first time I even heard about him, but he was brilliant. Really enjoyed it.
Danley is nice guy, enteraing, brilliant songs and really really incve perfarmcetr we really enjoyed watching his porfacer

Are you insane??? Try buying a ticket for the buble tour next May, they are already being re-sold for £300 – he is absolutely brilliant as evidenced by his record sales. On top of the he is absolutely gorgeous. You are an out of touch saddo!!!!!!
