FTA-TV X Factor 2014

my thoughts:

Jason - Funk is his thing but it is not really mainstream for this show's demographic. Not a fan of the song choice but he is a good performer with infectious energy and music seems so natural for him. Solid but not sure this will increase his small fan base. A pity because his performances as a totality so far deserve a top 3 finish. Likely bottom 2

Caitlyn - unusual song choice at first glance . This song requires a dramatic tone to show it's intent and not the smiley, cheery lite performance we got. Vocal was solid but the interpretation was a turn off to this chisel fan. Ronan has lost direction in his mentoring with Caitlyn. Another likely bottom 2

Reigan - Best vocalist left on show and should suit. Needs alot of emotion. Not a patch on Farnham's version but nonetheless is a good solid performance, especially the last 3rd but still flatlining a little in personality or edge. should be safe

Marlisa - Doing a Dami song. what a shocker. She looks to be wearing a dentist's headrest on her waist. Song choice suits her and her fans will lap it up. solid vocal and performing with confidence. not a fan of her tone but most likely safe

Brothers 3 -Jeepers the standards for Australian song choices has slipped. the great australian music culture of the 70s, 80s , 90s is long dead. Slicked back hair and looked like 3 stockbrokers. Vocally this is strong by their standards. This is typical Danni - cheesy and no substance. solid performance and will be safe

Dean - Now this is a quality australian song. Doubt Dean can match the original in vocal and tone. will see as I think he has been overrated to this stage with only his Stones song being a high level performance. does he have more substance than style? excellent song choice from Nat as it suits Dean's talking style vocal. He delivers on the performance side and his vocal rivals his best. Not in Nick Cave's stratosphere but not bad. he seems to be channel 7's annoited one. safe


Fairly even night with no real standout
Overall this year has been strong in the overs, woeful in the groups, barely passable in the boys and the girls the same. not the strongest year

Rankings -

1. Dean
2. Marlisa
3. Reigan
4. Jason
5. Brothers 3
6. Caitlyn


Prediction - going on previous voting patterns I am going Jason and Caitlyn with Caitlyn going
 
For Caitlyn's sake i hope you are right. but why sing a country style version of an old cold chisel song? I dont think it would resonate as well as doing a country song in a country style. maybe that's too logical but i think ronan seems to have stuffed up Caitlyn's momentum. I prefer her tone to most of the acts left but ronan is not playing to her strengths and he seems too stubborn atm to see it

Look personally I would have picked a Kasey Chambers song but I loved that performance. I hate Cold Chisel, never have liked them really, so for Catlyn to make me actually like that performance, she did well.

Nah it's like stripping down a dance song and singing it acoustic. This is the same thing. Reinterpreting the original into her own version. Which is what I want to see. Not just some karaoke imitation.

Exactly. Singers that do karaoke style fade away. Singers that play guitars, interpret songs are the ones long-term that do well
 
By all means do your own interpretation but not to the detriment of the actual song's intent/meaning. otherwise it is as meaningless as karaoke

How did Caitlyn change the songs meaning? If anything she showed you can do a country twist on a song. That said this is the song that she should have got for 'rock week' and she should have got Kasey Chambers tonight.
 
Tek I don't understand your rankings. Last year you were one who kept ranking JTR, Jai to the bottom yet you rank Marlissa 'up there' I don't see a difference between herself and Jai

It is weird, maybe he has money on Marlissa. Every time I see her sing I turn the channel basically, she is boring, nothing special.

Why are you spending so much money over x factor (especially) considering they probably don't count your mass voting

Well I have to spend it on something and I won money on the Grand Final anyway (Kennedy first goal hahaha). Plus I'm happy to support Caitlyn.
 
Eh I'm just glad people like Shaneo aren't here asslicking her like Dami.

I'm surprised I haven't been called out for being 'unfair' yet lol

How are you unfair this year, or last year may I ask?

I wasn't, and neither were you. Anyone that didn't like the winner last year was bagged lol
