Halloween weekend meant that some (not all) of the contestants got to dress up in random spooky style costumes and sing a Halloween style song. To be fair certain contestants didn’t look any different to usual (Wagner anyone?).
Sticking with the theme, there were some horrific performances and some half decent ones:
- Aiden Grimshaw sang Thriller and made it sound like a funeral song, not the upbeat fun song that it actually is – snorefest.- Katie Waisell looked kind of like a certain Bride of Wildenstein, but actually sang quite well. Even if she did look like her hair was going to make her topple over at any point.
- Wagner was out of tune, out of synch. But is he out of the show? Not this week.
- Belle Amie sang “I’m your Venus etc etc”. Who associates that song with anything but women shaving their legs nowadays? Bad choice of song, bad, well everything really.
- Cher Lloyd had the stand out performance of the night, which somehow got Shakespeare’s Sister back into the top ten. She still looks like a bad Cheryl clone though.
During the results show, the contestants got to sing with Bon Jovi, and when I say sing, I mean lip synch to their pre-recorded backing vocals. Then Jamiroquai sang their new song, whilst Cheryl gave Jay-Kay daggers the whole performance. Apparently he insulted her before the show. Who knows what was said but her and Danni Minogue made a point of not being impressed with him, they didn’t even stand up to clap after the performance as they always do for guests on the show. Maybe he told her she was too skinny? Or that he didn’t like her tattoo? Who knows... Next up: Rihanna, Good performance overall, but she did have bright red ears, I think that her hair dye may have seeped onto them.The bottom two this week were Belle Amie and Katie Waisell. They did the standard sing off, and to be fair Katie out sung the girls with ease, Belle Amie hurt my ears slightly. So it was bye bye Belle Amie, and Katie lives to sing another week/generate more press for the show.
