Club Classics, Avoided disaster....almost

I have to start this week with a rant about the media, I tend to do this now and again and after this week I feel the urge! I know any press is good press when it comes to stuff like The X Factor because it's going to get people interested, and talking about it, but my head is done in with the amount of different things I've had to ponder over in one week! Kelly is back and Tulisa is ill, Tulisa and Kelly make up but then fall out again. Tulisa has the flu and may not make the show. Louis given the nod from Simon to axe one of the other Judges in place of Cheryl. The judges getting categories swapped around. ARGH!!! Information overload! Now until I read it straight from Twitter Guy himself them I refuse to believe anything ever again, ever, EVER! Done, rant over!

Now then, as Gary said 14 million and a half times, Club Classics week is always the hardest for the contestants, especially for those that have a specific style already. It will either make them or break them. Pleased to say that quite a few surprised me tonight, in a 'just found a tenner in an old coat' kind of way! YES! One act tonight has actually made me change a category name, instead of 'YAY' 'NAY' and 'Hmmm' we've now got 'YAY' 'FRANKIE' and 'Hmmm' you'll have to wait until later to find out who inspired the change though....

First up I'll discuss the Hmmm's
Likkle Ikkle Janet Devlin, how I loved her knew look, the hair was fabulous, but she lost her way tonight. At first I was impressed at her efforts, and spirit, she took the challenge and embraced it, but she just lost it in the middle then for me she seemed to fall apart a bit. Bless her.
Then we've got the ever glittery Kitty, hey that rhymes, kinda, now she left me a bit disappointed, and I blame her VT, (for those of you who don't know what that is, it stands for video tape, ooops wrong programme!) in it they went on and on about all the big things she wanted to do for her performance, so here I was expecting her to ride in on a Giraffe walking along a tight rope above the judges! Now that would've been amazing! But she didn't really do much, and I felt robbed. She sang ok though and had a little boogie so it wasn't all bad news!
Then lastly we've got Mischa B, I think this week image wise it's the best she's looked, I don't like the big shoulder pads and Rhino horn hair look, she looked more natural tonight and I liked it. Her performance, as good as she is, just didn't really do it for me tonight, I actually found myself looking through the blinds to see if I could still see the bonfire from along the street, that's never a good sign!

Yet again this week the YAY category is at maximum capacity, people need to start being rubbish just so I can spread them out a bit :-)
As ever we've got the fabulous Johnny, I have no idea what was up with Gary tonight, as I thought Johnny was great, especially the second half. Just fab! I really don't care that it was slightly predictable either, Johnny is unique and for that I love him!
The Risk and Craig were both great tonight, vocally strong and performance wise they both done a great job, nothing bad to say about either, well maybe the start of The Risk performance was a bit dull but from the Rap onwards I loved it.
Hats off to Marcus, he really knows how to perform, and enjoy it. He never looks scared or nervous, he just does his thing and blows us away. And tonight was no exception, he nailed it, but I disagree with Gary saying it was performance of the season. Little Mix still own that title for ET!
Which perfectly leads us onto the fab 4, Little Mix, who again done a fabulous job. I really don't have a bad word to say about these girls. And I won't hear any either la la lalala la la *fingers in ears* I can't hear you! I love it when they do the dance routines, and they each have amazing voices! Plus 2 of them are Geordies.....biased much! WEY Not likely! :-D

Finally, we have the newly renamed category FRANKIE, and I know you are all dying to know who could have inspired me to change the name, and it may come as a shock to you, in fact I have to insist that you are sitting down and actually holding onto your seats when I reveal it, are you? are you holding on tight? Ok here goes...... the only act in the FRANKIE category, and the inspiration for the name is........Frankie! I know, shocker right?? Sorry Gary but how on earth could you justify the comment to Johnny about him making a mockery of the show, knowing full well what was coming from Frankie! It was like a random drunk had just been let on stage to have a mess around with a mic! I don't know him as a person and still disagree with the boos (even though I boo'd at home, shhhh though) but based on his ability to sing and perform on the show, I'm not a fan! Sorry to those that are!

With the odd exception, tonight has been the best night so far, everyone did appear to up their game. Even Kelly was throwing her crazy wavey arms around, and saying a bit too many of her wacky American phrases!
Double elimination tomorrow must be on everyone's mind and they were clearly trying to impress to avoid the chop, if it was my decision it would be Frankie and Kitty, and honestly, I think that's what the public may sway towards. We'll see.

Quote of the night "At least I'm here every week" HA me too Louis! Hard core we are!!
