Jack Walton - What a voice

It's breathtaking, got a gentle unique sounding touch to him. He was screwed over by the producers and Mel but before that was looking solid & really given the right song would have rocked out.

Girls would love him he's the guy you want your daughter to bring home. I can see him having a strong career and having his own set at Glastonbury in the near future.

    Same story as James Michael. Great, sultry voices that got ruined by awful choices.

    I really liked Jack.

    What wound me up is that he really was an Ed Sheeran "man with a guitar" type of singer - but then they dressed him up as flaming Adam Ant and got him to sing some god awful song that didn't suit, while having a vampire lay into his neck! :o

    He was so far out of his comfort zone it was untrue (and you could see it in his face when he was voted off) - but the poor sod had to just turn up and do as he was told. :(

    I think he was the forgotton artist who was seriously mugged off. It was as if the powers that be thought of the most humiliating ways to get contestants off the show. The description above regarding Adam Ant and vampires is spot on, and don't forget the high heeled boots.

    Shame he couldn't have gone into the jungle with Jungle Jake - and taken his guitar as his luxury item and done some songs around the campfire.

    Maybe next year - stranger things have happened, remember INSANIA? :D

    Oh yes, I forgot the boots. :o The poor lad.

    I think they had a very marketable commodity in Jack - and all they had to do was find him songs that even remotely suited his voice and style.

    Shame on you MEL BE!

    A missed opportunity.

    Jack was my favourite, I stopped watching after he left.

    He has some really good songs on youtube

    Personally I didn't go that far - but I was very gutted the night he went out - and how gutted he looked himself after the whole sorry debacle that week. :(

    To see how good an act is you should always check out Youtube. The X Factor staging and song choices (particularly during restricted theme weeks) do nothing for some of the singers. Jack was one of them, he already had his own style which he didn't really get to show much on the live shows.

    I wasn't really a fan of anyone else so I didn't have a reason to carry on watching though. It wasn't out of annoyance that he had left, I just didn't have a reason to watch anyone else.

    He just didn't look happy at all the week he left, not with his song choice or his styling. Punishment for not ripping his shirt open the week before. All of his song choices were a bit out there and definitely not something he would choose to perform.

    It was a bit sad that he didn't even get a bottom 2 performance to show what he would really sing.

    I completely disagree. I thought he was vocally weak and very poor. I was surprised that Mel picked him to advance to the live shows.

    He was never going to last that long. He just didn't have enough range or strength to go further and really showed in past performances how weak his vocal range was. Nice guy but definitely not a loss at all.

    Agreed so much with this entire post. <3

    He got completely bussed unfortunately but you could tell how popular he was from all the cheers the moment he sang in that group performance last night.

    She didn't pick him though?

    The producers didn't. I recall her saying/hinting that Jack was actually her favourite boy.

    She didn't? My bad then.

    Whoever picked him as a wildcard.

    He was a better singer than both Luke Friend and Nicholas McDonald who reached last year's final.

    All depends on what type of artist the producers want to pimp out each year

    I would buy his album tomorrow. His cover of Waves is amazing.

    What a man! <3 Tbh Jack's a sexual deity and he deserved to get so much further!

    I swear TPTB got it really wrong this year and picked the wrong Cardle. Should've been Jack instead of Ben.
