This thread is a continuation of: The Matt Cardle Appreciation Thread (Part 5)

My lord we can't half gab!!

Was busy replying to a post on the other Channel.

Oh well.

The recording contract is not everything. The opportunity to grow is. I personally would like to see Matt live. That is where the money is earned apparently. I am guessing for Matt it is about taking the chance of performing to a wider audience. Small has just not been enough for a long time. Perhaps also he is looking for change. May want to leave a certain musical style behind. Who knows? It is his choice at the end of the day. If he succeeds then I am sure he will have many along for the ride.

There are lots of roads for Matt to take now and he has never been more in a stronger position than he is now.

The download industry has risen at a huge rate (98%) and it's not impossible to use downloads and gigs to make a very good living ...of that I'm sure Cara ...but he does have to get his face and his work out there and to be frank better reording quality than he was able to afford .....this is all money. Matt would work just as well with backers as with studio contract ..in fact I think he might work better that way. But the business is fickle and to get the sort of backing needed it really is necessary to do well here. The factory will have given him huge insights into the business end of the game ...and we shouldn't forget that Matt's parents run a logistic company .....more importantly they will have given him confidence ..and I do think that has to be reinforced by a good showing here,

Oh we moved again. Did anyone pick my bag up that I packed last night, it was by the door!

Not a fan of Gordon Smart but this is sensible by his standards:
Matt Cardle is on the road to success http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...o-success.html

What a set up Katie is. Making fools out of the GBP. She is an actress and (**&^^%$£"£"!!!

All that rubbish with Matt?

This is what I hate about her - she drags other people into her skanky little world.

She sold Matt down the river and then last night poor Aiden goes.

So tthat's where the drugs thing is coming from.....did you also notice that there was an add for drugs rehabilitation at the bottom of the page ....these people are shits

oh - you've moved! Just to say that good job finished early today as in such a foul mood, snapping at everyone and it's all cos Aiden's gone. (can't bear to look at his face all crossed out on main Xfactor website...)

What is happening to me? this is a TV show but i feel i am so personaly involved. like I've had some bad news about family - getting ridiculous.

someone tweeted that katie aka- "I'm a sad whinger" is actually an anagram of "Aiden Grimshaw" - spooky hey?

and Matt's tweet about missing his bro Aiden "like my right arm" was so sweet - their friendship amidst the madness is one of the few genuine things to come out of this circus.

Matt can do this - he wants to do it and if that means playing along with the more daft elements and manipulation for a while longer then I will support him cos he has a whole lifetime ahead to do what he wants and believes in. also I think he is having the time of his life despite it all .

here's a nice pic - but Diamond/BA and others of an excitable nature don't look as i think Matt has got someone's pants in his hands!!!

Thank you for that pic!

I wondered where I'd left those

I left mine at the door!!

Cher 14.2%
Rebecca 10.05%
Mary 9.01%
Wagner 8.7%
Aiden 4.2%
Katie 4.3%
Paije 5.2%

If these are the figures ...how do they stack up at a final?

Nothing but a two bit street walker me

Peter Crouch: "Matt does this collection of women's knickers belong to you ?.. I found them in that shed over there"

Matt: "Oh yes sorry ... I was just getting my 7 a day while we had a break in training"

Love it!!

You can't beat a bit of smut on a Monday afternoon

Well, after a weekend away visiting the aged parent i have caught up the thread and finally watched the show.

Aiden wasn't great in terms of vocal perfection, but he is very original and I quite liked his version. For me he came somewhere in the middle.

My nerves always get in the way when I hear matt, particularly if i am as familiar with the orginal as I am with GYBR. But after a few listens i have decided he was brilliant . Not as brilliant as last week or Britney week but brilliant nonetheless. I particularly liked that we could hear his lower register more and the odd growl

I have a sneaking liking for the Wands this week. I know the backing track was loud for the chorus but it wasn't there for the verses. Harry has a great voice (if I were 16 I would luurrve Harry), i hope they use it more. What is the point of Zain? He really is shocking - funny that his second lot of wailing had the mike turned right down.

The worst?

Katie just couldn't sing that song, but did "perform" it ok.
Mary - I have to agree with Simon pub singer
Wagner - didn't really watch, just no point in him at all
Paige - weak vocally (he can't mime either!)

OK?

Rebecca i suppose but BORING!! Still got that broom up her jaxi stopping her moving around
Cher was OK, thought she was better singing than rapping

So, unbelievably i thought Matt was best followed by Wands. Couldn't even get a vote in for Matt this week due to ridiculous train problems getting home.

Oh and the Hat coming back for the group song! yayy!!

Was interesting in the results (or was it Xtra factor - yes, it must have been), when Simon said that there were one or two surprises tonight and he didn't just mean the bottom two. Did he mean in the rest of the voting? Hmmmmm (rubs chin).

Matt's reaction when he got through was interesting - pent up tension after the days news? The knowledge that he would now go on the tour (yay, I have tickets - Wagner and Katie as well though - boo)? Or just sheer relief? Who knows?

I read the NOTW story on the train (after someone left a copy behind, wouldn't have added to their coffers). In the words of Catherine Tate "What a load of old $h!t". Just wish I'd encountered someone who could manage 7 times a day . Loved the comment from x factor that they hoped she now had the value of the tickets reimbursed from selling her story - shows what value they put on it. (I hope he is getting some whilst in the house (not Katie tho), all that frustration wouldn't do him much good otherwise, I just don't want to hear about it )

So onwards and upwards - what's this weeks theme?

BTW - what is a horny black toad?

I think those figures were just for the T mobile network - would assume that other mobile networks would have a similar trend. However, who votes using a mobile phone? Teenagers mainly. I still think One Direction topped the votes on Saturday but not by such a wide margin as that particular poll suggests.

My thinking exactly marella and I think Matt by be much closer,
BTW did all writers call xfactor a circus ...or has it come from here?
This is from the rt very amusung about Matt
In Elton John week, Mary did the already cheesy and bloated Can You Feel the Love Tonight? - we glimpsed her in five years' time, packing in the grannies at seaside theatres.

Matt Cardle is already basically a circus attraction. Ooh, listen to that falsetto! It might as well be a third eye or a hand with seven fingers. After an introductory VT warning of "vocal gymnastics" - because they're always fun, aren't they? - this week's freaky spectacle was a chaotic attempt at Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

Originally, this was a swirling studio production, reliant on multitracking and reverb. Matt did all the parts himself, one after the other: fast, slow, high, low, crammed together, sometimes overlapping and mostly in falsetto. Next Saturday: Matt sings The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, while juggling chairs

What are these figures for?
