Wonderwall :sleep: and again!

How on earth could they have thought THAT was even a half decent performance....

There's been some utter crap on XF but surely that has to be one of the worst ever on the live shows - doesn't it??

What actaully amused me slightly is that it wasn't for THAT they got voted out!

It came across as the girl with the long blonde hair made all the decisions and believed that she could save them by screaming the words to wonderwall.

The strange thing was that when they sung it in bootcamp it was actually pretty good. Then with backing music, on the live show they totally fell apart. A shame really.

Vocally Girlband were miles better. Bad Lashes sounded a mess which is a shame as I really liked them leading up to the live shows. They also messed up their image to. They looked quite awful where as before they were really pretty.

I thought they were attrocious, and am at a complete loss when some of my friends reckon it was "really good"

Girlband weren't amazing by any stretch of the imagination, but I thought they frankly p!ssed over Bad Lashes' efforts.

I thought the worst ever (even including Leon's from last year which is saying summat) was the Ricky Gervais lookalike. So feeble. You have to have the sob story quotient, obviously, but there's no disguising his awful thin voice.

I was looking forward to seeing Bad Lashes on the live shows, and I thought their performance of Wonderwall at bootcamp was pretty good - dunno what went wrong on Saturday, it was totally cringeworthy

The problem was there was no harmonising either. It was just the kind of sound you here when girls are singing songs on the bus home from school.

It probably didn't help that shortly before watching the show I had just been listening to some tracks from arguably the best female harmony group there has ever been - The Chordettes.

To then be presented with that mess was something of a shock to say the least. I didn't think it could actually get that bad without trying

I already thought the wrong group had gone through out of the two 'similar' girl bands and frankly that just confirmed it!

Bad Lashes were awful, that T Shirt thing one girl looked really naff like it was left over from the auditions/bootcamp. It looked scruffy IMO. It Must Have Been love was sung terribly which is a shame, as I love that song.

I prefer Bad Lashes to GirlBand, I don't even think their performance was that bas as you say, but they deserved to go as they had the least amount of votes.

I wouldn't say it was the worst performance ever by a long way. IMO, that would have to be that band from two series ago (can't remember the name, but one of them, Anthony I think, had a really high voice) who covered the scissor sisters.

Wonderwall, totally!
On other shows it would have to be that cutie one () from Joseph who murdered Patience, although it was funny AND painful to watch!

In general they weren't that bad, though nothing better than mediocre. But the cover of the I don't feel like dancing was beyond atrocious.

The 2nd performance of Wonderwall was truly shocking, a total assault on the ears

Wonderwall on Saturday night was awful which is a shame because i actually really enjoyed their performance of it at Bootcamp i don't know if it was the awful backing music, some misguided advice from the vocal coach or the fact they tried nearly too hard but it was awful to watch. I still think they were a better band than Girlband.

Oh and agree with you on your views on Anthony Hansens performance of Patience. It was quite painful to watch bless him oh and he is a cutie too. I met him when he was playing Pharaoh in the Joseph UK Tour(he done a great job so did Craig Chalmers as Joseph) anyways he is cute but at 18 or 19 or whatever age he is i should be ashamed of myself but anyway WOW

Fantastic! I'm glad he's doing well and I should also be ashamed of myself for having a mini crush on him at my age!
Whever my eldest hears Patience on the radio or TV he does Anthony's 'style' to it!

There were some really dire, amateur-ish performances on X Factor on Saturday..... some of the worst I've ever seen. Rachel was terrible, as were Bad Lashes (terrible name and they deserved to be voted off), Scott was awful too. Scott had the wrong song though, so he can be given the benefit of the doubt. IMO, Rachel also had the wrong song and nerves maybe got the better of her. Hopefully, next week will see some better performances.

I don't like any of the girl groups. They lack warmth and chemistry and whoever is styling them is doing a God-awful job of it so far.

I doubt any of them will win.
