The contestants are 100% styled by the X Factor team. This gives the producers one more thing to to use for and against a contestant. When they want somebody out, they'll dress them like a complete idiot and tell them they look like an idiot.
So yeah, I have no interest in how she looks, especially not in these early stages.
When it comes to "X factor" in comparison to other singing shows I think it's important artists "tick all the boxes". And In the case of Melanie she ticks only one box out of 5. And she's not even got a very solid tick in the one box she ticks.
Extremely bland and boring. May make a strong backing singer though. If she gets through to live shows expect her to be out between week 1-3.

No, of course I don't think that and yes I'm aware they're 100% styled in the later stages of the competition. That said, most contestants and 'big popstars' at least have some semblance of an idea on how they want to look as an artist and this girl doesn't seem to have any. The first year she was dressed as an Apprentice contestant, the next as a Loose Woman, and this year she's going for the 'popped to get milk' look. I just like my popstars to have more than just a voice because, in the end, that isn't the only thing I'll be investing in when it comes to the music, videos, tours, artwork, etc etc.
Melanie is the only one I like so far as she picks songs that aren't being constantly sung on the show, and I also think that she has the most captivating performances so far.
But I won't claim her as great yet because we don't know how she will do at the lives, if she makes the lives that is.
She looks like Madonna's daughter Lourdes. I can't get passed that in my mind. I quite liked her in previous years but now she's being way too safe and careful, terrified of being thrown under a bus for the last time. I mean if she was so great, how come she's not made it off the back of her previous appearances? There do seem to be a helluva lot of returners this year. I think we want some fresh talent.
I think she is very good but I dont know if I can picture her on stage or something...she was holding back a little last night so maybe she'll show something superb at bootcamp?

She looked quite nervous last night : notice how she held onto the microphone with both hands in the early part of the song. But the fact that she could deliver a very strong vocal while being nervous is a good sign.
Maybe they could make a category for returning acts. There have been so many this year. i suppose she is the best out of them, but cant see her getting past judges houses.

I think she might get through from judges houses even though it will be a very tough category but I don't think she will win it though but you never know

I think she was holding back but I have a funny feeling she was advised to. I found her performance to be quite emotional and touching. Her low notes gave me goosebumps. She does need to work on her performance but she has a lot going for her - the looks, great voice and stage experience. I mean most of the other girls have a lot more to work on
She's ok. But nothing special. But then I thought that Tamera was ok, and nothing special either. That version of 'I Have Nothing' she did was all over the place. And the song was too big for her. She was pushing the top range. I sometimes wonder what the judges hear in the studio/arena. You might say it was nerves. But then, that's what performing is all about. Not standing in your bedroom, in front of the mirror, singing into a hairbrush.
I'm not saying neither her or Melanie can't sing. But they're not as awesome as they're being told they are. In typical X Factor fashion, the flavours of the moment will be told they're not going any further in a couple of weeks time. It must be horrible when you get told 'You're exactly what this competition needs' Only to be told the next again week , 'You're not right for this competition'
Every series this show gets more and more about the judges. And the inclusion of the standard sad stories, struggles, dead relatives. person who's been really ill, and so on. And my all-time favourite. The person who sings really shit. Gets stopped. Asked if they have another song. And then belts it out, and sails through. Preeeedictable!!
I don't think Melanie's that special. I like someone with a voice, and look, that's a bit different. Melanie is just like a hundred other x factor contestants. She can hold a tune and that's about it.

Agreed. AND these people who have entered a few times, and not got through, should maybe take the hint, and give it up. There's a reason why this is your second or third attempt at it.

By look I'm not talking about her features. I mean style, individuality...you know, that popstar aesthetic.

HAHAHAHA too damn right the others must be in SERIOUS trouble. Mel is stunning

Lol too true.
Yeah, I'll give her that. Her makeoever for the live shows, if she reaches them, could soon ruin that though!
It's Jade's third attempt at The X Factor. She also auditioned for The Voice last year but didn't reach the televised auditions.
She looked quite nervous last night : notice how she held onto the microphone with both hands in the early part of the song. But the fact that she could deliver a very strong vocal while being nervous is a good sign.
No he's not.
What Ive heard is its Jades seventh time, third time she makes it past auditions
:eek: no wonder the waterworks last night...
