X Factor 2015: Tonight Judgement

Reggie 'N' Bollie people favorite at tonight X factor competition but looking at the theme love and heartbreaking, this sound contradicting.

The pop star were jumping around singing Shut Up And Dance (where's the love and heartbreak, hmm? Does this song have subtle undertones we're not emotionally evolved enough to comprehend?), Cheryl and Rita are doing mum dancing behind the desk and it's all generally a bit frantic. In fact, Simon Cowell is the only person in Britain not currently gyrating.

"I'll make this quick, " says grumpy. "The vocals were a bit iffy... but, I think you're going to be in the finals of this competition." We think so too, but we said that about Seann Miley Moore, so.

Meanwhile, Rita Ora's name-dropping Notting Hill Carnival again. We get it, Rita, you're urban.


 Ché has a girlfriend! She's called Megan and she looks a bit like Adele, if Adele had dreadlocks. Wonder what she makes of his gradual pop star makeover.

He's set to perform Yesterday, by a hot beat combo called The Beatles. It's a slight departure from his usual soul and mo-town vibes.

Ah, no it isn't, as he's giving it a soul and mo-town vibe. Fair enough.
It's brought Cheryl to tears, in a good way. "Sensational," she says.


Rita Ora says it sounded like his own composition. If that bothers Paul McCartney, checking his online banking app should have a soothing effect.


At one point Anton Stephans was rumoured to be coming top in the phone voting every week. Not any more - last week he found himself in the bottom three alongside long lost Max Stone and Monica Michael.


Tonight he's singing We Belong Together, by Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey, and unfortunately it's a little strained. If you're into tonsils and pyrotechnics though, you'll be having a great time.

4th Impact do a superb job every week; all of their performances are well-sung and well-choreographed, and tonight's rendition of Christina Aguilera's Ain't No Other Man is no exception. 

However, there's something about the cutesy foursome that makes them hard to connect with emotionally. We're not saying they should sob at Nick Grimshaw like Anton, but they might need to show a little more personality.


It seems we're on the same page as Simon Cowell - he's banging on about them needing to show more of their individual personalities too. Heck, why don't they just let us be an X Factor judge? We're cheap.


We were worried earlier that Mariah Carey's We Belong Together was a bit of a dated and obvious choice for Lauren Murray, but she's making it sound a little bit modern. A little bit.

She looks great, and you can't fault her singing, but we can't help but think she's more fun than this - and if she wants to beat her biggest rival Louisa Johnson, she needs to diversify a little from those big ballads.


Cheryl says Lauren could sing "the yellow phone book" and still sound great. She'd certainly sound less predictable.

 Mason Noise, favourite to leave this week, least favourite in every other sense, is inviting us into his soul, or something. He's singing a Nick Jonas song (Jealous. That's the name of the song. We're not jealous that he's singing it and we're not) and it's pretty uninspiring.

Surely this has to be the week he leaves?
"You're finally sitting into your vibe," says Rita Ora. Pardon?
With one act going home tonight, in a shock - not that shock - twist, he shouldn't sit too comfortably.
 Louisa's showing she's like well contemptibly and stuff by singing a James Bay song. She's going for an ethereal vibe in a swish white outfit, no shoes (what, no Rita Ora endorses Adidas shell-toes this week?) and the same shimmery eyeshadow we wore to our sixth form prom in 1998.

Her voice is BIG and, we don't want to sound all Louis Walsh, but she's only 17 years old. Yup, she won't be going home anytime soon.

"Outstanding!" says Cheryl. "Wow!" says Simon. He thinks she's just had her "moment". Which makes us think of Martine McCutcheon's Perfect Moment. Which we can't believe nobody has ever covered on X Factor.

Olly Murs just said "amazing" twice. It's a safe word for him because it does have any t-h combos in it.


Here goes Love & Heartbreak week... which is the vaguest of themes, really, because the only songs not about love and heartbreak these days tend to be about being "in the club" (in the partying sense, not the pregnancy sense).

Here come our hosts Olly Murs and Caroline Flack wearing black to signify the death of their TV presenting careers. Will Olly make reference to his cock-up last weekend?
Yes, he will - but unfortunately, just two minutes into the show, he also just said "elimi-tated" when explaining that one act will be going home tonight. 

Oh Olly. Still, let's hope someone somewhere playing X Factor drinking games just got to take a nice big swig of their drink
