Talent alone can't get you long-term success. You need something more that'll appeal to people on all levels. I think Tabby has the most interesting personality and can connect with people. He a singer, songwriter and musician and has been doing this for 13 years. I think he really deserves to win.

Roberta - she's a pretty girl...but her voice and performance style is boring! She should go into modelling or something.

Cassie - I get this bitchy vibe from her. I don't like her at all.

Steve - He's okay. Not star material.

Rowetta - She's sounds like a man on crack.

Verity - The music industry will eat her up alive. She is too fragile...and really not that talented.

G4 - They look like they're trying to sh*t bricks when they sing. :yawn:

2toGo - What a dumb band name. The blind dude is a good singer and his friend is a plain jane. This act won't go far.

Voices of Soul - They belong in a church.


TABBY TO WIN!

Im not happy with 2 of your comments here...Lets start with Rowetta, ''man on crack''...How the hell can you say that? She has been in the music industry for such a long time, she wouldn't be there if she sounded like that. Shes got such a strong voice, think someones needs to be gettin that hearing aid sorted Your going to have so much fun when the Rowetta fans come to eat you alive...good luck
and then on to Tabitha...''the most interesting personality'' Yes whatever dear, looking back on his life, has anything interesting happened in his life...No, but then you look back at Rowetta's life , hmm I can see where your coming from about the x factor needs to have more than just a good voice, but Tabby has no singing ability so he doesn't really qualify

Could I ask you to be really really honest here? How many men "on crack" have you actually heard? Singing? Speaking? Extolling the virtues of crack?

Thought so.

I love Tabby, he rocks. I'd prefer to listen to him than any of the others. I do agree that he's the most interesting personality on the show, as far as I've seen anyway.
Steve would probably be my second choice to win after Tabby.

Haha Jec - Well said -applauds-

Ooh thanks Only clap I'm ever likely to get too

Thought I'd put it here as it's not really X-Factor thread material but I am GUTTED about John Peel Doubt very much he'd have rated Tabby but bet he would have/did Rowetta.......

Yeah...RIP the Peelster

The music industry can do these things to you

Sara.

tabby is not very good realy sweety he is crap,i have my uncle's hearing aid going if you need it.

i thought this was a wind up originally

then i saw the poster's username.

the light dawned. not only are they deaf, they have the poor taste to use 'x' instead of chris

Tabby has no xfactor hes just an xcat

i've never liked cats

Rather simple actually. Rowetta sounds like a man on crack! See? Easy.


I don't know anything about this woman's past. I don't really wish to. What I'm judging her own is her deep manly voice. If she was really any good...why doesn't she have a record deal and selling millions of albums? Add that to the fact that she's a flippin' lunatic!


I don't like her tone of voice. It's depressingly deep and emotionless. Sometimes it looks like she's gonna eat the mic when she's singing. She's almost as bad as Jessica Simpson. Yuck.


I'm having the time of my life!

*yawn*

Moving on.


Tabby puts people in a good mood. He's there to entertain. I love his humorous side and there's never a dull moment with him. You may not agree, and quite frankly I couldn't give a damn. That's just my opinion. He's the BEST and the only one I'd spend my money on!


No singing ability? How the heck do you think he got as far as he did if he had no singing ability? Rowetta can sing. I never said she couldn't. I just don't like her tone of voice...it's very hard to listen to.



~V~ - Poor taste? Are you kidding me?

"Xtina" is what her fans nicknamed her. She got it tattooed in the back of her neck almost 2 years ago.

So please, suck it up and move on.

Tabby: Because I’m a genuine musician I’ve busted my a*se for the past 13 years. I write and record all my own stuff. I’ve played every toilet with electricity and I truly, truly am passionate about music. It’s my life. I’ve never done anything else and I never want to do anything else. I’ve spent the better part of my life being broke because of it. It’s what I do y’know?

apart from christina and tabby what are your musical tastes

Because sharon wanted to get in his Knickers, Loui would vote for a fog horn if it was built in Ireland, and Simon was too busy looking for someone who looks the part to listen to him sing.
Sorry but Tabby couldn't win a cat show.

Tabby is not the best singer, but he can sing, he has more of a rock edge to his voice. I guess since I like rock his voice appeals to me more than than the others do.

None of this UK pop crap that's for sure.

I'm a huge fan of the Goo Goo Dolls and my fave song by them is "Acoustic #10":

They painted up your secrets
with the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
was the most you ever knew
I wonder where all these dreams go
when the world gets in your way
what's the point in all this screaming
no on is listening anyway

^ Absolutely awesome song lyrically and musically.

I love Dido and judging by the huge success of her last album (over 12 million sold worldwide) she's a mainstream delight. Lovely voice, amazing songwriter. Christina will be collaberating with Dido on her next album.

I love Alicia Keys. This is the type of soul singing someone like Rowetta lacks so much. Alicia is a talented pionist, vocalist, producer and songwriter. She's starring in a new movie btw with Halle Berry. I can't wait for that!

Maroon 5 are awesome. This band infuses soul into rock music. Increadible live performers.

Natasha Bedingfield, this girl can SING! I love her personality as well. Very unique.

Eminem, I really like him because he pushes the boundries of normality in the music industry. He just released a new video called "Mosh" which bashes Bush. The video is just insane. I love it.

Linkin Park are awesome lyricists.

"By Myself"

If I turn my back I’m defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
then they’ll take from me ‘till everything is gone
If I let them go, I’ll be outdone
But if I try to catch them, I’ll be outrun
If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer

Other bands I listen to are Stained, Fuel, No Doubt, MatchBox Twenty, The Simple Plan, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day..etc.

I remember Tabby's performance of YRGM being done by Ainslie on FA, and it was much better!. Surely Sharon can find something else to copy?

Ahhhh yes Ainslie.He did very well too,didn't he? :yawn:

Sorry but this comment is lame (as, I might add, were your reasons for disliking Cassie and Rowetta.)

I'm sure the boys of G4 will be happy to adjust their facial muscles while singing so that they look more pleasing to you. Never mind that it will screw up their reasonance, diction and projection! Singing in this style could be called a mild athlectic exercise, they are using their whole bodies as their instrument, not just their throats. It takes effort to produce this sort of sound.

Rowetta does not sound likie a man on crack.Her and Tabby are my faves

Hmm isn't she a British pop artist then?

And to comment on Tabby i will be VERY suprised if he ends up in the top 4 if Sharon had any sence she could concentrate more on Cassie than Tabby that's just my opinion though.

I hope you are right I love Sharon but think she is totally blinded by Tabby's crotch ath the moment.

tabby is by far the best on there, but thats not very hard as everyone else is pretty average

Stealing electricity is an offence you know. Having said that he was probably in the right place. You would think that after 13 years of effort he would have made an impact before if he was any good. I get the impression that he has no real talent. Best 'Act'. Well yes, because he is just an act.
