Right result from that sing-off.
But I will be amazed if there is not a race-related backlash because of the bottom three.

Giovanni is so dated.
He should become a Bon Jovi tribute act. He has zero relevance to today's market.
Janice was the far better singer in the sing off and deserved to stay.

I don't really know who is voting for Gio. The grannies, or any potential Bat Out of Hell fans?

There is still a market for middle of the road rock. It is not to my taste - but he sang a well-known song with gusto. He didn't try to be clever or different for the sake of it. And there were far worse performers on that stage last night.
He won't win - that's for sure.

Bat Out of Hell have a rabid fanbase, and all of the cast are pushing fans to vote for Giovanni. The issue for him will be, as less people remain, the amount of people voting against him will be greater. Also, his voice isn't that great in my opinion to sustain a sing-off. He has a real rock vibe with his voice, if he does a ballad like they usually do for a sing-off, that could be his downfall.
One of the Bat fans just told me on twitter he is still offically part of the cast, which is smart, as if he leaves in the early stages he still has a job. But even if he wins, the last place he'll want to be is the Bat stage. Are the producers attempting to make people see he is in the cast and buy tickets for the show? He's not even a remote draw for people is he, great as he is in the show.

I don't like Gio. He's not that good and he pulls some weird faces while singing (at judges houses at least, haven't seen first live show).

Just watched the first live show. Ugh, what a weak Top 16. I miss the old days and contestants like Rhydian Roberts, Leon Jackson, Ruth Lorenzo, Little Mix, Katie Waissel...
Misunderstood: well, they are fun, put on a good show, but vocals are average.
Anthony Russell: oh hi, I can't stand you so I'm just gonna skip your performance lol.
Danny Tetley: he's not bad, but he's so boring and there's no way he's gonna be successful. Maybe as a karaoke singer or a cruise ship entertainer.
Molly Scott: finally someone I enjoy!
Janice Robinson: I really like her! Pitchy at some points, but my fave so far.
Brendan Murray: ew ew ew ewwwww!! I hate his voice!
Bella Penfold: boring and amateurish.
Armstrong Martins: that was painful.
Giovanni Spano: oh, so actually I loved it, lmao!
United Vibe: producers just keep forming groups each series and it's just not gonna work anymore. I'd tap one of them, can't remember his name, I hope he's not underage. Anyway, boring performance.
Shan Ako: I loooove her!!!
Jumanji Yearbook or whatever: someone kill me.
Scarlett Lee: that was so good! Love her!! My fave by far!
LMA Choir: hey Mrs. Conductor, I. CAN. NOT. F*CKING. STAND. YOU. They sounded great but she ruined it for me.
Acacia & Aleeyah: meh. Not terrible, but not good.
Dalton Harris: great song choice, I really enjoyed his performance.
So my Top 3 is: Scarlett, Shan and Dalton.
Happy with who got sent home.

I am so glad that I am not the only one who can't stand the conductor from LMA - she is so selfish in her performance. Get her off the stage.

The LMA conductor seems to think that the choir is all about her, without taking into account the two dozen-ish others who share the stage with her. A choir is meant to be an ENSEMBLE - together - and her attention seeking performance just sticks out like a sore thumb.

LMA Choir - conductor is not so much in evidence (which is good)
But it is one lead vocalist and a lot of pointless backing singers.
Get them gone.

WTF was that speech to camera? Just lost any interest in her. Just sing - that is all that is asked of you. You undermine everything with awful attempts at trying to send a message. Plus went off key in the riff at the end.

What is Fleur East up to these days apart from trying to get arrested? 🙄 Thats the first time ive seen the choir and I thought the leader was obtrusive. Dread to think what she must have been like before. |

You’ll have to forgive me but I haven’t seen most of these before.
Danny Tetley... WTF is all that about? A cross between Bob Hoskins and Demis Roussos. Pub act. Dreadful dreadful dreadful.

There are some good parts to his voice. But not enough.

Janice had improved significantly I thought.
Bottom 3 will be Danny, Gio and the boyband I think.

Janice was pitchy at times. But I do appreciate pretty boys with lots of shimmer.
Molly was forgettable. Boyband do appear to have been set up to fail.
Misunderstood were weak.
It was a bad week overall

Where did the big Xfactor stage go ? They seem to be using an old American Idol stage. Which is small, and not huge like the Xfactor stage used to be.
