My honest views on last night

As ever I will try to be as fair as I can all round.  What's the point of deliberately lying just because of backed/laid someone.  For instance Matt's my big winner but will I give him a 9/10 for last night? NO.  Was he the best act last night? NO.  I hope you see my point.

Here goes with marks out of 10:

STORM: Did well again I thought.  The crowd seemed to love him and he sang it well.  Not quite as good as last week though but safely through for me.  6

TREYC:  Seems a likeable girl and straight away I thought she looked much better.  Just missed one or two of the high notes and tends to shout a bit.  I think again the judges are over exaggerating how well she did but she did do well and better than last week.  Good stuff. 7

PAIGE:  Expected more from him.  Seemed to struggle in the lower register.  Very likeable young man but that's not enough.  Thought he wasn't even as good as last week. Just ok.  5.5

ONE D:  I straight away thought the kids bad nerves were just put on for effect/sympathy vote.  He miraculously seemed ok on the live show.  Again thought the young Indian guy was just awful but all in all they were better than last week.  Simon was very biased towards them but they'll go far. 6

CHER:  She's certainly an entertainer and can sing well when she wants to but the 'rapping' really spoiled it for me.  She's got a bad attitude too. Bad song choice, she's not winner for me. 5.5

JOHN:  The best of the night.  Nice bloke, good singer and put it over very well.  Much much better than last week. If he keeps up that standard has a chance.  Well done.  8

DIVA: Didn't like the song at all and thought they were better last week.  They're entertaining though and ultra camp (think they might be gay!)  Sung it ok but I think they can do better than that. Possibly in trouble?  5

REBECCA:  She's an attractive girl but I thought the make up looked horrid. Good song to do and again she did it fine without being great.  Never moved from the spot again and looks nervous.  She'll be around for a while but not the winner to my mind.  6.5

AIDEN:  My pick of the bunch last week and some of it was good tonight but never got near the high note on about 4 occasions so sounded awful.  I'd have dropped the key for him so he could get it.  Safely through no doubt but very hit n' miss last night.  5.5

WAGNER: A terriffic Tom Jones classic but not good at all.  A fraction better than last week perhaps but last week I gave him 3.5 from memory!  If I were a betting man I'd be backing him to go tonight as one of the two.  We all like him and he's entertaining but for all the wrong reasons. Very poor.  4

KATIE:  Much much better.  She tries so hard and a bit of me likes her as a person but just not good enough.  I think she's the weakest of Cheryl's four girls. 6

BEL AMIE:  Much much better again than last week.  Thought they looked good apart from the terrible eye make up.  Great song and I thought they put it over well.  One of the best of the night for me.  7

MARY:  You can help but like her can you.  The crowd love her and I can see why.  Another very good week for her singing a briliant song.  Got to watch it's not all a bit samie though but this girl can sing.  Well done again.  7.5

MATT:  My tip to win it.  Comes across very normal and likeable not flash at all although I don't like this constant peace/hands in prayer thingy.  Like last week I think he's not quite living up to his talent but is definately a good singer with an incredible range who did well again last night.  When he finally really puts one over I think it will have the 'wow' factor. The one to beat.  7.5

That completes the voting from the Belgium judges.

Some will agree, many will disagree but I've tried to be fair with what I've seen and heard.

Lots of Love
