I'm not terribly convinced that 'Louis the lep' even knew who Radiohead were,one of his minions probably put him up to it...
His musical heritage is more Johnny Logan than Thom Yorke,eh?well that's just this old popidolveteran's point of view. Maybe I should get out of the closet? (drum roll)

Isn't there a splash of John Stevens in there?

I wonder how mini Steve Davis is doing?...multi million selling album, number 1s, critical acclaim, grammys maybe...

...or maybe back to school and in his school play performing to his gran who he loved dearly.

He has got to be up there as one of the worst finalists of any PIdol competition.

...with Lara and most of them from PI2 alongside.

It might just be me but I really dont like Rowetta. I normally am in full agreance with Simon but I just dont comprehend this facination with Rowetta. She can hit high notes sure but her voice is so weird...I'm not sure what it is but I just can't stand her.

G4 on the other hand are amazing. Their rendition of Radiohead's Creep at Louis' request had goosebump raising, spine tingly-ly amazing...I dont see how they can't win this show.

I think sharon's got the next best chance of wining with Cassie or Roberta. Simon has no chance as I think all his people are terrible.

I think Tibby and Voices With Soul will be out very early as they both suck....Louis had a terrible final five - G4 were the only ones with any recognisable tallent.

I agree, I personlly don't understand the whole 'Rowetta thing'. I don't think her voice is that amazing and it would start to grate on me after a few songs. Its just too over-bearing, she should stick to being a backing singer and let someone better have the limelight

I like Rowetta and think she will do very well. She has a good song pick for the first show and while not to everyones tastes, she is in no danger of going for a good few weeks. All my support, however, goes to G4.

Loved G4 singing Everybody Hurts. It was an exceptional performance. Well done lads!

I am now looking forward to hearing Jonathan and the rest of G4 singing again next week. I would love for Jonathan to really belt out a number next week. I have suggested Circle Of Life in the song thread but I am sure there are others. Love Changes Everything is great but might be considered too theatrical.

They didnt "moider" Everybody Hurts but each to their own. The only people doing any "moidering" last night were Tabby and Verity.

He trashed the song completely. The only slap I noticed was the huge amount congealing on his face.

Just a quick question - are the performers choosing their own songs or are they being chosen by the manager/team?

He should never have brought a guitar on stage with him either if he wasnt going to play it. It just made him look even more ridiculous. I actually thought Simon Cowell was taking the p*** when he was praising him.

Judging by what Simon Cowell said to Louis Walsh about his team picking old-fashioned songs for his singers I presume the singer has very little too do with it. The judges seem to be in charge of everything including the singers image. Otherwise Tabby must have wanted to be Cher when he was a little boy.
