But Misha is a big talent, Little Mix are a decent group and Marcus is much better than he originally promised, so I'm happy with that possible line-up for the final. I'm not keen on Amelia, but she's not bad, Craig was fairly good and Janet ws different and has performed reasonably well on occasions. I know there's quite a bit of faint praise there, but there's no-one awful or talentless and that;s not bad going for XF.”
But that's the whole point ..... They're all just "okay" nothing special really. Not exactly x factor material though.
Yes misha has a great voice and there is a gap in the market for a girl band like little mix but they are hardly the most talented musicians and singers in the country are they?
I know it's a different competition but when you look back on BGT and see the likes of Paul Potts, Susan Boyle, George Sampson, Diversity etc you think WOW, these are amazing!
I don't see that with any of the remaining acts ....
