X Factor Live 06 Best of British

E-mail Print PDF

Alexandra Burke was superb last week and just as good this week. Her voice is a wonderful instrument and imparted a richness, smoothness and polish to that wonderful classic, You Are So Beautiful. If she recorded it I'd buy it tomorrow.

Ruth

Ruth Lorenzo had a shock last week and pulled out the stops to deliver a powerful version of Angels, so hopefully the whole package will save her this week - great song, great voice, great presentation. Just a slight crack in one of the high notes prevents a perfect 5 in our chart.

Not far behind Alexandra in terms of vocal talent is Diana Vickers and it was great to hear her back with another unique and appealing version of a current classic. As Simon says, Diana is a fantastic talent and deserves a great career in music - irrespective of hidden public votes on X Factor.

Starting a Best of British theme with It's Not Unusual is rather obvious, and that was the problem with Daniel's version - obvious and karaoke. And straining and struggling.

Meanwhile pretty boy Eoghan got all sorts of comments about how attractive and sweet he is. He looks good and sings flat.

Also struggling is the constant and tedious snippets of families of the contestants. Grandmothers are important to their family, as of course are children. But neither matter to a singing contest. So Rachel is a mum, and a shouter, and has yet to sing well. So it was no surprise her version of Amy's You Know I'm No Good was so poor.

The Beatles had to be included, and the best you could say about JLS is that it was a good schoolboy attempt. They have no power or colour in their voices. Look, the Beatles were fantastic and JLS are pathetic. Embarrassing.

So that's it. Another week, another win for the remaining outstanding girl singers. At least the shock of last week appears to have roused the public to start voting about singing ability rather than sympathy appeal.
