coz he was clearly a semitone out for a good 5 seconds. that is equivalent to an eternity in music!
she was right to bring it up because that is her job.
i agree that no one last night - not even joe - was in tune throughout their performance, but danyl was very out. however, all in all, he did the best performance, after joe that is!

Yes, Cheryl was correct, he was out of tune!

I like Danyl but he messed that one up.

Ok so he interpreted the song. However, he interpreted it wrong. It isn't a song about anger, and he sounded angry.

Of course he's angry - with himself, he's metaphorically 'beating his breast' the song is about guilt and regret at the protagonists own betrayal and subsequent loss of innocence and happiness.

It's not a simple song, and it's not just about feeling 'a bit sad'.

Haha - that made me laugh!

In this case, because Danyl supporters have consistently claimed that his singing is above reproach. It's quite amusing to read some of the same people now claiming that singing flat doesn't really matter, or that musical tones are matters of opinion, or, most bizarrely, that Asian music has a different tonal system so it's all relative anyway—no matter that he was singing a composition by two Englishmen.

It's true that Danyl wasn't the only offender last night, as I mentioned in an earlier post. But attacking Cheryl Cole for all manner of sins against music and crimes against toilet attendants doesn't change the fact that when she said Danyl was "flat in parts" she was right.

Cheryl is the queen of singing flat, not only that but her speaking voice is a flat monotone as well.

Shame she hasn't noticed Lloyd's tuning issues every week.

You can interpret a song differently to the original - it's not against the rules Louis!

I wouldn't discribe him as having flat vocals, it's just that he sounds like he's impersonateing someone else. And he can't prenounce words when he sings either. It also sounds like he has an american accent when he sings.

So he is taking a partner to the dancefloor angrily? That doesn't make sense. The whole song is set on the dancefloor:

"Tonight the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose this crowd.....Please stay"

Where does the anger come in?

funny thing is... cheryl didn't sing flat in her performance on xfactor.
i'm not saying she's perfectly in tune all the time, but she's not 'the queen of singing flat'.

No - she's the queen of most over-hyped, well-scrubbed rubes.

A much stronger argument against Cheryl than the claptrap some folks have written about her not being able to sing.

Lloyd is comically flat on a way to regular basis.

good point,even Leona likes to sing off her high notes for 'effect' sometimes hitting a tone sharper,good only if you can hit the original note cleanly though.she does it well..though it can be irritating.

She was right though. First part wasnt abit flat and out of tune
