little old me coming from nothing vt for Fleur

when i was young
never needed anyone
making love was just for fun
those days are gone

first bloke on like most of special forumites imo

bliemy, i have to listen to this bloke again

Squares is in the zone

Louis happy and glad he was saved
CC tearing up too, stunning production, incredible vocals one of hardest songs to sing, deserves place in comp
SCowell perfect song choice, slight criticism he pushed the song too much at the end, just like SK he has a killer song coming up.  Round One - Ben best so far.
Mel - he would say that.  One of hardest songs to sing, blah blah

SCowell
so even atm
anyone can win
thinks tonight is all going to depend on next songs

CC - Andrea winning performance tonight
Mel - Andrea, plus Ben killed it
Louis - Ben, Ben, Ben

seems too slow at the beginning and takes ages to get going

never really gets going

Louis still full of praise
Mel favourable in a lukewarm voice
SCowell worried after the first song, changed his song after start of second song, waffle waffle, thinks that song has saved her
CC - what a trooper she is, hope public remember everything she has done before, we need her in the final

speaks about needing to do a current song to show he can do more than just the old stuff

doesn't sound great, starts too low and his voice just sounds wrong for the track throughout

ropey notes thrown in

SOs from SCowell and Louis, but Louis gets down pretty sharpish

Louis loved first song, this was better, Ben is the one to beat in the comp, he's got it all, he's a pop star

Mel loves his rock tone, rock songs suit him, no light and shade in his vocal which this song needs and he just sang it like a rock song.  Voice amazing but not for this song.

Audience goes beserk CC can barely get a word in.  Loves him but not sure about that version.  Noone else she wants in the final more than Lauren.

SCowell still saying people need to vote for him even though he has had a great night.


Crowd just boo throughout esp at Mel.

triumphant performance from them

3 SOs, not CC

Charlie crying

Mel's kids and school friends love them and so does she, that was perfect, boy did they sing it
CC positive but just gets cheered over
SCowell started shakey but got confidence and bang, really really hopes they get the votes tonight
Louis they smashed it, want the votes, we need them in the SF

Charlie crying

And breathe ............

Louis all about hard work, trying, deserves to be there, wants he in the SF so vote Fleur

Mel a bit lukewarm about the vocal, song too big, well done type praise

CC a bit lukewarm but will really miss her if not in the final

SCowell, some people desp for fame and will do anything else (ie Jake on IAC), Fleur here not just to win but because she wants to be a great singer

sounds better than first song

Louis - shock about B2, he's everyone's fav and can't go tomorrow night
CC - best till last, great twist
SCowell - agreed, he's had a great night
Mel wants everyone to vote for him, shock at B2 it's terrible, people have to vote for him, nobody is safe, Louis parroting away saying the same

thank f that's all over

i just thought there were a lot of tells last night and wanted to make more of a note of it, regards what might happen tonight and maybe next week.

And much easier to follow when not bantering on the forum and being served drinks, etc.

imv Louis is useless at hiding what's going on. I think he gets to know the voting, I don't think the other judges do. Always wants to be seen as backing the winner. Talk of Fleur making the semi not exactly positive for her voting to date imo.
