OMG that was terrible really bad yet the judges said it was great It was just a bad cover nothing else.

so was Maria!

I was listening to Shayne (whilst drying dishes in the other room) ... I heard (yet again) the backing singers more than I heard Shayne

Are they trying to cover up his lack of ability?

That was the worst performance ever. I cannot believe how crap it was.

I thought the backing tape went a bit funny near the end......

He was rubbish just then also have you noticed his ever growing ego?

It did sound like the backing skipped or something at the end... Or it was justa dodgy key change or something.. hmmm

I said this in the other thread Justin Timberlake's voice is much higher pitched than that and he looked like a gay man trying to impersonate JT, dancing was all over da place

That's odd! That was the first time I have thought Shayne was vaguely interesting. I liked it! lol

No, seriously, I did, it made me pay attention to him - he's been far too bland up until now. I think he has what George Micheal once had. Good luck to him.

But then along came Maria, and I like what she did too. She put something into that song that the Stones never did - a bit of soul, a bit of tune! Goodness only knows Jagger was never the world's greatest vocalist, no matter what anyone says. It was nice to hear it sung properly!

I am really looking forward to the rest of the show, if they're all going to be that good it will be terrific... off to watch it now...

It did sound rather bad...nothing special at all....in fact it sounded and looked like it should have been on Star in Your Eyes rather than The X-Factor.

I didnt think he was rubbish. But it was very "stars in their eyes"

It just looked like a bad stars in your eyes show and out of fairness hre should bein the bottom two.

To be fair, whenever Justin sang that, he relied heavily on a backing track.

Maria was stronger, but it was obvious she wasn't entirely comfortable with the song. She kept pulling her microphone away too soon as well, which was annoying.

All of them have been rubbish so far so dull boy should be safe :sleep:

So Simon thinks Shayne will be the biggest male solo star in about 3 years?
Lets wait and see, he would have to get lots better then he was just now.

I agree, out of the 3 ive seen they have all been below standard. Andy's performance was boring, the conways can do so much better and Shayne's performance although OK was just an impression of Timberlake.

There is no way that will happen and did he not say the same about a certain Mr Gates?

He was awful. He didn't sing most of the song it was mostly backing vocals.

It was rubbish wasn't it? He was so out of tune at the end.
They've all been poor so far actually.....

Has that Carrie Underwood (sp?) outsold all previous AI winners yet like he said?
(Not sarcastic just don't know)

ha ha ha i knew it, i hope shayne goes tonight! i have my firgers still crossed!

Lets Hope Is At Least In The Bottom Two.

I'm not really a Shayne admirer so far..but I thought he carried this one off brilliantly.

I switched the tv on and thought that was Craig Coates from Big Brother performing on the screen. Not fond of the new look and his vocals were poorer than ever.

I don't get it!!!!!
Do the judges not hear what i do???
His falsetto is PAINFUL....
