Last week I posed the question of whether Strictly Come Dancing has the edge over the X Factor this year, and although it quite possibly did, I was continuing to support X Factor.
Well, after last night, I'm seriously considering defecting to Strictly where the yummy Harry Judd, of McFly fame is setting pulses raising week on week with his moves.
All we have to look forward to on the X Factor is Gary Barlow's brooding good looks, and even that is wearing thin thanks to his annoying smugness and fawning over protegee, Frankie.
Last night just fell flat for some reason. Yes the constant sniping isn't helping, but the cringe worthy attempts to gloss over the back stage chaos is so transparent, it's frankly laughable.
That high five, which says we're all friends here, honestly is just a total sham, and although Louis can be annoying, I feel for him being picked on by Gary and Kelly each week.
Gary's jibe at Alexandra Burke from last week was also a bit sour I thought, although judging by most people's reactions on Twitter, he was actually right on the money. (Wonder if the put down was ghost written in advance though?!)
Then we come to the acts themselves. Yawn. Frankie cannot sing- boot him out now. Everyone I know keeps saying the same thing each week- how can he still be there?!
The Risk are flaying now in my view, following a change in the band. They just don't have the spark they had in week one.
Little Mix continue to be my faves, but this week I just didn't think it was their best performance and at this point, they should be getting consistently better.
Johnny had a bit of a weird one this week as well. The Lady Gaga song wasn't good enough; I would have preferred him just to sing 'You spin me right round' as this suited his vocals so much better. He could be in trouble this week.
Same with Kitty, really. For the first week, she didn't fully deliver and I did feel bad for her when Gary slammed her dancing. Following that reported bust up with Derry as well, the public may not support her tonight.
Janet had a shocker too- upbeat is not who this girl is. Her voice is haunting and works best showcased in a Ballard. I loved her song choice and styling last week, but last night it was just all over the place.
Misha B continues her run of singing well, but her swagger has been totally knocked out of her, which I don't think is a good thing. The first few weeks, she could have been performing at the Brits, but now, she is just another contestant desperate to win.
Craig did well last night, despite being out of his comfort zone. Whereas Janet failed to be versatile enough, Craig wowed and even got to dance around a bit too. Love him to bits.
And finally we come to Marcus. Wow, what a voice! how amazing is this guy? Love that he is a Scouser and frankly he deserves to win on last night's performance alone.
Who will go tonight, let me know....
