X-Factor, Austin Leaves Competition
In week four of the competition, it was Disco week. Have to say, considering of the the classic disco tracks they could have been chosen from, the songs were particularly uninspiring and some of them were arguably not even disco.
Daniel continues to get a load of stick from the judges, but this week I thought he was actually pretty good. Simon said it was “arguably the worst performance” they’ve ever had on the show. His favourite word seems to be”arguably”- I’d say he’s arguably talking rubbish. Perhaps he is so over the top in his criticisms because he knows the game by now and that people will vote to keep the underdog. It’s a TV show after all and Daniel’s story has better narrative than most.
After Austin’s performance, Simon said he hoped he stayed in. Interesting comment and I wondered if he was attempting to lead the viewers because he raised the prospect that Austin wouldn’t be back, and guess what, he won’t!
Alexandra, Laura, Diana and JLS were fantastic. Notice also that Will Young sounded as good live as he does on the radio. Compare that with Girls Aloud when they performed live!
