Earlier this week, Johnny Robinson promised a ‘Japanese’ and ‘Quentin Tarantino’ vibe when he took to The X Factor stage tonight and to be honest, we were more than a little concerned about just how over the top his performance would be.

The former drag queen returned for the second live show of the ITV series to belt out ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ by Kylie Minogue and this evening, emerged on stage looking like a geisha girl, complete with fan!

He missed his cue slightly at the beginning but picked it up quickly and though he looked ridiculous -and not too far off his former drag queen self – it wasn’t as bad a vocal performance as Frankie Cocozaa’s before him.

By the end of the number, we were really getting into the vibe of Johnny’s song and kind of secretly loved the fact that he threw himself so totally into the whole production!

JUDGES COMMENTS:

KELLY ROWLAND: Ohhh Johnny. I don’t know….hi Johnny! Just move to Gary man because I’m still in shock. I need to hear you sing Johnny, I don’t want you to hide behind Kylie. We all know she is wonderful and she has great songs but I want to hear your voice.

GARY BARLOW: In all seriousness, I am actually quite sad because I don’t want to laugh at you Johnny. I don’t want you to be the joke in this competition, I want people to take you seriously because you can actually sing. Louis did you just really tell Frankie he has no swagger and then do this to Johnny? I mean look at him, he looks like he’s in Aladdin.

TULISA CONTOSTAVLOS: You do it for me every time. You definitely have the entertainment factor, only one criticism tonight and it’s not for you it’s for Louis. I just want to say that as much as he is entertaining – and we know this – I would love to see the vocal shine through. I would love you to give him a song that shows he really can sing. You’re not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but for now you are mine.

LOUIS WALSH: You know what, Johnny, I’m really glad that I saved you last week because you are bringing fun. Gary Barlow is laughing, that’s a first. You bring fun to the competition, I know you can sing, but it’s all round entertainment guys.
