X Factor 28th November – The Unreality TV Chart
The X Factor semi finals are almost upon us and tonight’s Take That and Elton John themed show saw some of our contestants up their game massively and some seemed to fall badly by the wayside.
Here’s who we thought were the best and worst of the night, we know that many of you will disagree with our choices so feel free to leave your own charts and comments below.
1: Joe McElderry - We have loved wee Joe from day one of this years X Factor, however he now seems to be emerging as a real contender for the crown. We think his final performance of Elton John’s ‘Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word’ was possibly the best song of the series.
2: Olly Murs – When we heard that Olly would be singing Take That ballad ‘Love Ain’t Here Anymore’ we were worried. We weren’t sure that Olly had the vocals for the song but boy did he prove us wrong. We love Olly’s charisma as well as his dulcet tones and it was a little freaky that he looked quite like Gary Barlow’s long lost brother at parts. It’s the square jaw we think.
3: Danyl Johnson – Danyl finally performed an uptempo number tonight and his students were right, the boy really can dance. We felt that in the first song, his vocals suffered a bit because of the routine and though he sang it well, we weren’t sure about the Moulin Rouge version of ‘Your Song’.
4: Lloyd Daniels – We have always thought that little Welsh Lloyd was one of the weakest singers on this year’s X Factor. However tonight he definitely improved. For his second song Cheryl chose ‘I’m Still Standing’ and for the first time we got a glimpse of charisma and excitement from Lloyd, though his vocals were flat as a pancake at times. There’s no way he can win the show, but if he gets voted out tomorrow night, Lloyd will leave on a high.
5: Stacey Solomon: Stacey, Stacey, Stacey….girl what happened to you tonight? Having never been in the bottom two Stacey seemed a likely candidate for winning the show, however if she survives this week she would need to improve her vocal performance dramatically for the semi final. Stacey knew before she even started Rule The World that it was too low for her, it makes you wonder why Dannii didn’t change it. Her last number may have been a bit sexier than we are used to but the vocals were weak and pitchy. We weren’t loving the pride of Dagenham tonight.

What?!?! Lloyd better than Stacey? Seriously? I thought Joe and Stacey were the best tonight while Danyl/Lloyd were the worst.
Joe, Danyl then Olly.
You thought Lloyd had charisma??!! Nooooo! My old Teddy bear has more charisma, and I don’t have to listen to him sing! He is cute, but his voice is really starting to grate.
Much as I love Stacey, she was off key a lot of the time, especially in the second song.
Joe was outstanding, but I’d still rather go to see Danyl perform. Hard to call as they are so different.
Lloyd was really good, and he does have charisma! I think Danyl kind of ruined ‘Your song’.
joe, stacy and danyl for me. hope next week is something more suitable for stacey. enough of boring male vocals weeks!!
Lloyd is clearly the worst, though I’d love to get rid of Danyl next week. Olly I’m indifferent. Joe and Stacey for final two, Joe ftw.
Joe was clearly the best. I hope he goes all the way now. He’s certainly impressed all the judges. I think Somon will give him a recording contract regardless of whether he wins or not. He knows when he’s onto a winner!
Go Joe!!
What can I say! Joe McElderry has yet again won this battle of song. Danyl ‘the pretender’ should gracefully stand aside, so as to allow this extraordinary young man, without further hindrance, to go forth to take his rightful position as the crown victor, for this battle of The X Factor.
Last night, Joe proved to the nation beyond all doubt, his ability to perform to the highest and demanding standard and with so much ease! And, what a spectacular performance it was. His skills and craft are the epitome of what marks him out as an natural. His vocal technique, stage presence, style of song and yes his grace and his uniqueness, mark him as an extraordinarily and gifted individual. He deserves the recognition that he has worked so hard for and I hope and pray that he wins this competition. He has my absolute support in his battle for song and The X Factor crown.
My friend! What can I say? You are truly the winner! What happens beyond this juncture is very much in the hands of the nation. We have to make the decision, the choice, the vote to cast! to keep our music alive with voice of song or to turn away with a choice of wrong? If like me and you believe in young Joe’s destiny, your choice will be a simple! Yes! vote for Joe ! 0901 61 61 104
Totally disagree..
Olly and Danyl were, by a mile, the worst last night…
Your Song was awful, and the first on was forgettable…
Olly’s vocals were very mediocre and boring…
Stacey didn’t did her best, but sure was better than Lloyd, Danyl and Olly…
Olly should have gone long time ago… He’s becoming boring and predictable…
And last night, Joe sang beautifully, but he was very boring with Elton’s song…
Boring! What is this word boring, that seems to be used out of context without muse! How can the word “beautifully” be associated with the word “boring” I see no meaning in your choice of word if they cannot be married into verse. And, also feel there may well be great conflict of mind to pen such words with no kind. So you like Joe’s singing, your words “he sang beautifully” but you did not like his grace of presence, whilst he performed on stage. Interesting! so this is what you found ‘boring’! You must be really bored and angry, if you cannot see perfection in your sight. I would recommend to go and see your physician and have this totally checked out! In the meantime I’ll give you a number to call, it might create an emotion to enthrall. Vote for Joe 0901 61 61 104
