I'm not very keen on G4. I think the novelty has worn off. I want STEVE to win!

I'm more looking forward to 'nessun dorma' (it is that one isn't it? I'm so drunk now )To me "G4 sings Creep" is them saying "hey guys we can take anything and do it in our own 'operatic' style, even that weird stuff that other young people think is cool". It's a bit like David Walliams as Denis Waterman wanting to "write the theme tooon, sing the theme tooon" and coming up with a result that always sounds exactly the same. Or else the "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" game where someone sings something like "Psycho Killer" to the tune of "Happiness".....(actually that might just work... )I don't think it is a good choice for other reasons too -- its a quiet, repetitive tune that doesn't really go anywhere and the words are pretty depressing. Not what you want to impress in the grand final. I can't see it bringing in votes: Radiohead fans will hate it, most of the GBP won't know it. |

I agree Kippery - that song is punctuated with guitars and for G4 to attempt it could easily go against them. Cant see the tweenie's (girly teenagers) liking that one at all.

radiohead's creep is about twelve years old. i doubt if many of the x factor's audience has heard of it, or are aware of it's significance in the indie arena. i think they'll slaughter it, the original song depended on the quiet bits being so quiet, fragile even, set against the angry conclusion, with g4 all you get is one dynamic, so i think it will be quite lousy.
mind you, given that voters on these shows appear to have no taste, no insight into music and no shame, g4 should win it...ha ha ha ha. |

My husband is a huge Radiohead fan. He watched the soundcheck with me last night, He frowned all the way through it, When it had finished he played Creep and said 'That's what it's supposed to sound like!' and stormed out!
I don't think he will be buying it if G4 win!!! Angie xxx |

The original is a masterpiece. Haven't heard G4's version yet so i wont pass any comment except it might work, might not. I can honestly say i'm impartial on tonights vote. I wont be voting, but will watch with interest. I honestly cant stand Louis Walsh, but wont let that cloud my judgement.
May the best act on the night win....................... |

....aren't we all?? Theirs is a risky strategy at the best of times - I must admit I find the song choices for tonight brave but then that pretty much sums them up. Made a change hasn't it from all those safe and unadventurous performances we usually get in these things. DL |
