I liked it.

Ray is great! Ben bores the hell out of me!

Leona - second song was okay, but those weird sudden shrieks she does, make her sound like she's been booted up the back yard. :rolleyes:

Ray - needs to wait till his nuts drop, before singing. Right now, his voice screams of "youth".

Ben - good on him taking a risk. But will the little boys and girls vote for him?

MacDonald brothers - not good enough, IMO. I still don't think they can't sing in tune together.

must cost Ben a fortune in glass to chew on before the show.

He's got a great voice but he's boring as hell

Leona - great voice but god, more warbling. Power ballads and nowt else.

I thought his face looked familiar. Is he the wee boy who killed the bully? His time on TV can't have opened many doors for him if he's having to appear on a talent show.

yeah i think his name was Anthony...wanted to be a priest?

as far as I'm aware he went back to school and starting singing last year.

I loved Ben's song with the choir, very risky but he pulled it off big style.

I would only buy Ben's album if all 4 acts made one.

jellybeard999 · 2 Dec 2006 at 20:49

Ben and Leona are the only class acts in the competition IMO

Ray has too weak a voice IMO, and the McDonald brothers just suck

I would walk 500 miles to never have to hear them sing again!!

Von Luck · 2 Dec 2006 at 22:27

Leona is the best singer there by a million miles and lovely with it. Ben is good, Ray = Chucky, creepy guy.

Glad the McDonuts went.

Ray is actually lovely. Really genuine.

Leona = Mariah wanabee. We don't need another.

she milks her one useless singing talent of those stupidly high christina/mariah highs and then wavering them down to a normal pitch.

so overused in every song she sings.

I can understand if people dislike the type of music she sings, but 'useless singing talent'? :rolleyes:

She's pitch perfect - even if she does have a habit of inserting too much vibrato.

I personally wouldn't listen to the type of music she's likely to sing, but to deny that she's an exceptional talent is pure idiocy.

She has performed a number of songs during this competition better than the originals, with her live performance bettering the recorded version.

SidewinderINC · 2 Dec 2006 at 23:11

no, i'm not saying she's a bad singer, but the ability to do *that* is a useless talent and deserves to be stricken from every song its been put in

if you read my post i nowhere say she's a bad singer, i say she has one useless singing talent. and that is it. the rest of her singing talents are perfectly useful and pretty damn good.

so have the rolleyes back thankyou :rolleyes:

the chick or the long haired bloke.. If that little plastic headed Swing freak wins, the general public are officially morons.

n3crius · 3 Dec 2006 at 02:28

I watch this purely because SarahPuggy watches and I cannot escape it. Combined with 'Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' this is obviously a sign of the end of humanity. God help us. Seriously.

Ok, while I hate the show generally, occasionally a performance is terrific. That Leona? She did 'I will always love you' last week and during the song I said to Sarah, it was on par with Whitney. I think I meant what I said. Very good performance, I found it really enjoyable to listen to.

But Ray. Oh my god. It's like Satan decided to inject pure evil into a dummy and give him the persona of every type of smelly cheese in existence. This person must be stopped, for the sake of our children. Fear him, he is the devil.

Also, Louis Walsh. Please god, electrocute him or something. Please please please. Really, please.

(Edit - I'd have Ben win. From what I see every week he's the most passionate, and I just prefer that style over anything else I see on there. Not that I watch this tripe of course!)

Couldn't agree more.

The whole world is becoming like a real version of The Trueman Show.

Lowest common denominator TV sucks.

I just don't watch TV any more hardly. And I learnt years ago to stay away from ITV.....particularly on a weekend.
