Olly - I want to make the song my own
Will these cliche's ever end. Its bad enough with the judges using these terms but the acts!!!!
He didn't make the song his own except for the space invader dancing |

Olly morphed into R Wayne off the Peter Kay spoof...I thought he was going to finish with a YMCA routine...

Yep, John Lennon's vocal is submitted to the dustbin of history

It was entertaining, even if the highlight was the dancer sprawling on her a*se halfway through

I do not get Olly AT ALL. Although I accept that he can sing a bit, I find the "artistic" elements of his performances, such as they are, almost embarrassingly incongruous. He reminds me of some builder bloke from down the pub.

Well it was the best on tonight's show, so if that didn't please you then nothing will.
Sung, performed and entertained - what more can be expected? He is also the one that has grown with the show whilst others have peaked and are just waiting to be put down. Nice, happy and a good performance. |

They only say a load of garbage in their VTs just to up the tension... I swear even if they're completely happy with their performance they'll make up some problem to bring a story out of it, I can't remember what was said but I definitely felt that way with what was said in Lucie's VT today.

I love Olly but no-one can make Twist and Shout, their own. Not a great song choice for him, very limited lyrics. But I thought he did a great performance, always looks comfortable up there.

He needs something that can stretch him, this felt like a backward step to me, Why not a bond theme like Man With The Golden Gun or View To A Kill |

But yes, he should be stretched, definitely. It didn't stretch him at all this week. I have always wanted a Bond theme week.

What the heck were they doing the Thriller dance in the middle of it for?
He didn't make it his own as far as I could see - was a mishmash on the original with a few extra foot moves. Lennon meets MJ meets James Brown. |

Although a likeable, cheeky chappie, Olly Murs is not a pop/singing sensation.
Whilst Simon accuses Jo McElderry of being more for the stage, he should take a look at Olly before he states that. Olly does not have a powerful vocal. He is just OK for something like a West End production of Grease. Nothing more.

I like Olly and he's entertaining too. As he was girating in that suit, all I could think of was a Salesman at a dinner dance!

You need to have a powerful voice to sing in the West End. That's why the judges, especially Simon and Louis, criticise Joe - they think his voice is more suited to musicial theatre because it's so strong. I love musical theatre and have been to West End shows loads of times and if someone as weak as Olly was in a show, no way would I go to it!
I do believe a male vocal will win X Factor this year. It would be so wrong for it to be Olly. He is not strong vocally. I somehow can hear Olly doing something like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5XX9LX2es4 About time music like that got back into the charts - so why not Olly? ![]() His dancing last night made me think of an embarassing dad at a wedding. I can see why all the females are voting for him though. He would be a nice guy to be with. |
