Young girls obviously like him and as you say, love the guitar for what it is regardless of whether its being played or not. His fans on here seem to be a good cross section of age groups. I can see the reasoning but it's not safe to say that any of the remaining acts have a fan base in one particular generation IMO.

None of us like Steve. ![]() :eek ( I thought I had failed miserably as a parent) but soon realised her mistake Tabby's the one for us and the one in whom we see the greatest potential. We hope the exposure this show has given him will help to get him a foot in the door of the music industry.

He just played the acoustic live on This Morning. He's clearly very good.

Are you seriously going to say he wasn't playing this time? Or are we just going to concentrate on how flat he was? Because now that he's actually played the guitar live (which he's been doing on the show anyway), you're going to have to find something new to bitch about Emma |

I don't play guitar but my brother does, and as a singer I'm always performing in public and seeing other people live - be they famous or not - and so have grown up in a musical environment, so to speak. I've been brought up with it. I can tell when people are singing and playing live - there are many tell-tale signs that give it away and the people on here have been trying to explain this to you throughout the three pages of this thread. They're musicians, they know what they're talking about. However, you don't have to be a musician to know when someone is singing or playing live. Having seen all the performances I've seen, I know when someone is live. There's a certain sound quality, the movements matching the sounds etc. I can just tell. AND TABBY HAS BEEN PLAYING THE GUITAR ON EVERY X FACTOR SHOW SO FAR. (Obviously apart from the ones where there hasn't been a guitar there, haha.) So with everyone telling you you're wrong, why not bow out and admit it? |

So with everyone telling you you're wrong, why not bow out and admit it? As I have previously stated, he strums a note or two only (or did last Saturday) when it was patently obvious he was not playing everything live ... Which is probably why, to me, he looked so fake. |

I might be being utterly dense but I'm pretty certain your first statement doesn't make sense... explain?

Histeria plays the guitar, I play guitar, my son plays guitar, loads of my friends play guitar - we are all quite capable of recognising when someone is playing live. This arguement is getting really boring now.... :yawn: |

Other than that we're back to: *Wall*.....*Head*.....'.WHUMP!!'

Did you not see, in particular, the second song he did last Saturday?
Definite guitar sound and hand was nowhere near the strings ... it was admitted on ITV2 too (FACT) ..... he did not need to play all the time as he had already got his playing onto the sound track ... |

*checks nose* Good. However, nothing is indisputable, and this is turning stupid (I was warned it would). Although I'd be interested as to why you think, given your viewpoint, the solo parts on the two performances of Living On a Prayer were slightly different (I pointed out where two differences were earlier in this thread)? |

What are we at odds about here? The fact that he does/doesn't play live. The fact that he does/doesn't play everything live? The fact that he does/doesn't lay down his own backing track? Or the fact that he can/can't play at all? I'm not being picky, I have seriously lost the thread, I'm trying to work out what it is that's in dispute.

He plays a little bit live (the odd squeal and solo here and there) 2. The rest of the guitaring is on tape. 3. Tabby doesn't bother to mime to those bits - or in a half-arsed fashion if he does. 4. The taped bits may (or may not) have been layed down by Tabby previously. 5. Tabby can probably play guitar well, but doesn't do much to demonstrate it on the show. 6. Braces wouldn't go amiss. 7. This is getting daft. |

Tabby does not sing either - the audience do that - I hope Scabby gets the boot this weekend

For F****s sake, this is the most ridiculous thread I have had the misfortune to read - you must be visually impaired and hard of hearing if you cannot distinguish between the live breaks over the backing track. Histeria's view posted above is the fairest overview at this point in time.

In the confines of a three minute spot on a Saturday teatime tv show, the purpose is to give the best performance possible. Tabby's team for whatever reason, have chosen to let Tabby lay down backing tracks and do some live playing. All of which he has said happens, so I don't see what the problem is, he's hardly denying anything, or claiming something else is happening. The fact that he doesn't do a guitar solo lasting 5 minutes has something to do with the planning and production of the show. For further clarification I suggest you contact the shows producers. Now we've established that, who wants to talk about his teeth/scabbiness/girlfriend/child/band/what he had for breakfast/can he ride a tandem?
