Did You See That

It was week 2 of the live shows and it’s hard to see any real stars in this lot who are any where near the standard currently being set by last year’s winner, Leona Lewis.

As expected, Sharon Osborne was back on the show after last week walking out. Not another cynical publicity stunt? No, surely not.

The common tactic of the judges now when wanting to attack each other is to slate the song choice. So rather than talk about the performance, they prefer to talk about the song choice, ie themselves. What with that and the whole Louis firing & re-hiring, the tabloid tales of rivalry between Dannii and Sharon, as well as Sharon’s walk out, you’d have to conclude that the drama is shifting to the panel this year because the talent just isn’t up to scratch.

That said, I did enjoy Rhydian’s mad performance and actually thought Andy’s version of Night Fever was excellent despite the panning it got from the judges for being just like a karaoke performance. Leon was much better than last week and was working the camera in fine style with his rendition of Michael Buble’s “Home”. Emily tried to put some more personality into her performance and I thought to myself after that I wished she hadn’t. And what was with those mad eyes.

After the votes were counted, the bottom two were Alisha (for the second week) and Daniel. Daniel looked bitterly gutted to be there and hinted he blamed the song but honestly, there was hardly any discernible voice there. Sharon suggested he’d be better suited to a boy band. If only he was still a boy, that may be half decent advice. The judges decided to send Daniel home.

Next week the theme is Big Band - I’m hoping Michael Buble might be the celebrity guest!
