Tabby doesn't have to be the strongest singer!
Since Saturday a lot of people on this forum have gone over the top on Tabby, slamming his performance and slagging him off personally. You are all missing the point, he does not have to be the greatest singer. He is not aspireing to be the next Will Young or Mariah Carey. This show is not about being the best singer, it is funnily enough, about having the X-factor.
Tabby is a rock vocalist, all the other artists on this show are vocally stronger than Bono, Mick Jagger, Anthony Kiedis ,Liam Gallagher etc. The point is they all sound good and have got great stage presence. Though lacking vocally to the other contestants, Tabby is far superior when it comes down to the stage presence ranks. Other people slated Tabby for the whole seeing his son scenario, saying it reminded you of a politician looking for votes. What else was tabby going to do, tell his son to go away? Sharon arranged it. And also, Tabby does not edit the show. wake up people! tabby has got the X- factor, just face it. |

I don't think Tabby has any stage presence at all and he is completely incapable of holding a tune. I would rather Simon Cowell bring back Michelle Mcmanus to do a strip tease then have to endure another one of Tabby's "performances" on Saturday.

Tabby is weak vocally.
Why then did Sharon pick a song that required a great vocal performance ? That was a love song not a dance track, energy and stage presence should play not part in that tune. It was poor, but not as poor as all 3 judges saying it was great. He is like that Peter guy off Lame Academy, no vocal skills just bounce around the stage. |

Though lacking vocally to the other contestants, Tabby is far superior when it comes down to the stage presence ranks. However, I will admit that like beauty - the X-Factor is in the eye of the beholder - so it can be very much down to personal taste. For instance I can accept that Will Young can hold a tune, but I really don't get that he's that interesting to watch perform (in fact I find him really boring) - but he's obviously got something that I'm not in tune with. What I would like to say about Tabby is that all three judges seem to be spellbound by him - he hasn't received a negative comment (apart from too much eyeliner :yawn: ) as yet, and also the other contestants seem to be impressed with him too. As for the daft comments about the fact that him seeing his baby over the weekend was a publicity stunt - no doubt those same posters would be accusing him of neglecting the child if the reunion had not been televised. Think some people are just scared of Tabby's popularity that they are clutching at very tenuous straws to try and discredit him. |

Not totally true as I'm certainly not in that category and a lot of friends, who are still interested in music (despite our advanced age!) are all Tabby fans. |

Its true, people like different things. the truth is that Tabby can only be judged as a performer on this show, he cannot be judged as an artist. Tabby is also a musician and songwriter so we will have to wait and see what his stuff is like before deciding if he can cut cut it as a creditable performer.
As far as I am aware, the other contestants are all just singers, t.here songs are being written for them right now probably. Tabby has more than one string to his bow. IMO he has got stage presence, i have seen him perform live and it was rockin. |

IMO, Tabby can't sing, his visual performances are quite often cheesy and so OTT that they make him look like a real wannabe. He looks as though he fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. He's going for sympathy vote* (being away from his baby, if he was that bothered he would have stayed, i know if it was a choice between stardom and seeing my kid, the kid would win hands down). He is extremely over-hyped and over-publicised.
You can say he has the X Factor but I can't see it, he does nothing for me except make me reach for the remote. Watching Julian Clary poncing about on the dance floor is more entertainment than Tabby. I'm sorry to people who don't agree with me but that is honestly what I think about young Trev. *he isn't the only act to go for the sympathy vote, each judge did it. Simon with Verity (my husband crushed my dreams for stardom) and Louis with 2 To Go (This guy is blind..... Yeah Louis so are loadsa other people, whats your point?). |

I think that 'Tabby'/Trevor is one of the strongest singers in the competition - and it's Cassie who has the weakest voice. But, as this thread says - he is just 'one of those performers' that has that 'X-Factor'. Like him or not, he somehow keeps you watching!

Calling him ugly, and accusing him of not being that bothered about being away from his baby, is just petty. Nothing to do with whether he's your cuppa or not. I'm with stillrockin, I'm way past being a teenager and Tabby for me is watchable and well worth listening to.

i have a feeling he is the missing member of Mud, he even has the flicking of the head perfected. has he been frozen since the '70s in a lab somewhere ? imo he would be better suited to the miming that the glam rock groups did on tv, than his dreadful attempts at singing in tune.

>snip< Sounded like you were saying that to me. 'being away from his baby, if he was that bothered he would have stayed' I haven't seen him making out he can't cope. He's said he missed his son, he's reportedly been wandering around London alone because he's restless and can't stop thinking about his family, that hardly constitutes him not coping. He's just being honest about his feeling whilst away from his family IMO. If he didn't mention them at all he would be being slated for being heartless and selfish. |

i think you may have the group right , but i would have said the one who wore the women's make-up and screeched "we just haven't got a clue what to do " is who tabby based himself on...even down to being the guitarist. damn, now i've got the song stuck in my head

I'm usually a very cynical soul, but when it comes to reality tv I've learned that the actual people participating have little or nothing to do with what we actually see, therefore I try not to judge them too harshly and keep my cynicism for those that are cashing in big time.

You really think Tabby has enough clout to demand to the show producers/directors that they film him with his baby? Has it not occurred to you that the makers of the show have decided it's a good angle? Just as G4 could be accused of showing off their mortar boards, or VWS accused of strutting their stuff at GAY - none of this is engineered by the artists themselves - it's all the show producers trying to find a particular angle to show them off that particular week. It really means very little in terms of performance or votes. I've watched most of the X factor, including the X tra factor stuff and I've never heard Tabby complain once about having a hard life - I've only ever heard Simon Cowell go on about it. It seems you're just basing your jaundiced view of Tabby on what's been suggested on here, or some tabloid trashy gossip which may have no basis in fact. Which all takes us away from the real issue. Who has the X-Factor? Answers on a postcard please. Clue - it's spelt Tabby.

You get a virtual Kit-Kat for being so lovely.
