There were 5 going into tonight’s show and now only 4 remain. Ironically, it was the one who sang ‘I’m Still Standing’ that fell from his perch tonight. Yes, that’s right, Lloyd Daniels, the Welsh wonder, sang his last song on X Factor tonight. Lloyd has been plagued with constant criticism from some of the judges for the last number of weeks but whilst he may not have been everyone’s idea of a popstar, he could hold a tune.
Tonight, the judges decision wasn’t final as the decision rested solely with the public. Poor Olly was left wondering again as he was the last singer to be saved for next weeks show. I’m still holding out for Olly to win. All four remaining singers have great voices and all offer something different by way of style and substance. I think Danyl will manage to have a career even if he doesn’t win. I’m not sure that Stacy could be a true ambassador for the show, or if she could handle a superstar lifestyle. I think Joe has an amazing voice but I don’t think he’s a popstar.
Every week we’re treated to a musical feast from guests and tonight was no exception with top notch performances from Alicia Keys and Rihanna (although I thought Rihanna was off key a lot of the time!!) Next week we’ll bear witness to Lady GaGa and Janet Jackson.
So there you have it, the line up for next week’s semi final is Olly Murs, Stacy Solomon, Danyl Johnson and Joe McElderry. Good luck one and all
