Jahmene was awful
![]() I didnt like that performance at all. He may have a strong voice but Imagine should not be sung like that - EVER He completely oversung it, the keychange was unnecessary and the worst bit was when he went "IIIIIII hoooooope sooome daaay yooou wiiil JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIN (*really high*) UUUS YYEEE-EESSSS.." ![]() He destroyed the song with overuse of vibrato/melisma (sp?) - it might have been all right if he kept it simple. With this song, less is truly more but his performance was shite and I just didnt like it

What with that and the charity video thing someone posted I can't take him seriously at all.
He sings like he's sat on a washing machine during spin-cycle, and Imagine is the worst possible song to do that do. Technically good but simultaneously bloody awful. |

There are some songs that should never be changed because of their simplicity.
This was one of them. But he was far from being the worst tonight. |

He sounded like a cat when someone trod on its tail and trapped it in a mincer

I just find him all wrong somehow, he looks odd and he totally murdered a lovely song. Just don't know what to make of him, and that laughing after everything he says is just awful. Looks like a sack in his clothes as well, someone needs to style him. Worst for me tonight.

Imagine is a lovely classic and should never be murdered like it was tonight

Jahmene is brilliant when he's just singing, so tonight during the first part of 'Imagine'. I hear too many singers ruining their performances with unnecessary and excessive thrills and riffs. It''s a shame and I hope he stops doing this because he's an amazing vocalist. The best male vocalist I've seen on the X Factor.

He has been awful since day one. Can't understand his appeal.

There's being able to sing, and knowing how to sing. He is capable of the first, and hasn't the first clue about the second.

I love the style of singing he does. Big Mariah style notes, I live for them. But he doesn't do them right nor in a way that is enjoyable or relevant to the song. He has no musicality to know when to blow and when to hold back. Melanie was closer to the mark.

Both strip all emotion and meaning from a song though in an effort to impress with vocal gymnastics and in Melanie's case volume as well. |

I wasn't a massive fan of Melanies, but my point is it fitted with the song. Her big notes really did have a part in being in the places where they were, they were put in in poignant moments and they either worked or didn't, but there was thought put into it musically. With Jahmene it was senseless butchering.
I also hate his vibrato, far to sheep-like. |
