Okay, so Heroes Week was hit and miss. Before we get top the acts, we need to address the fact that for 14 contestants, there was 12 ad breaks. TWELVE! I know that X Factor is one of ITV's biggest shows, but come on!
Now lets look at the acts...
Dannii & The Boys
Aiden Grimshaw - Sang the John Lennon song Jealous Guy. He looked like someone with a nervous tick the way he walked/stumbled across the stage. Vocals were weak and he didn't manage to hit the high note that he was worried about.
Score: 6/10
Matt Cardle - Stunning vocal on the Bruno Mars hit Just The Way You Are! He hit every note and looked much better without the hat. The man is sex on legs.
Score: 10/10
Paije Richardson - Sang If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys. Looked comfortable and confident on stage. Don't understand why he wasn't one of the top 3 in this group.
Score: 8/10
Cheryl & The Girls
Treyc Cohen - Sang Purple Rain by Prince. Not as good as the Ruth Lorenzo version a couple of years back (remember her?) but was spot on. Best girl of the night.
Score: 9.5/10
Katie Waissel - Sang I Would Rather Go Blind by Etta James. Drastically stripped back performance from last week and was much better.
Score: 7/10
Rebecca Ferguson - Sang Feeling Good by Nina Simone. Seemed to lack confidence - no eye contact with the audience or camera. Styling was a bit off.
Score: 8/10
Cher Lloyd - Sang Hard Knock Life by Jay-Z. Someone needs to tell this girls that she's a 5ft tall white chick, not a black rapper. From the comments on facebook and twitter, it seems like she doesn't have much support. I'm personally not a fan
Score: 7/10
Simon & The Groups
Belle Amie - Sang You Really Got Me Going by The Kinks. Very slick production - reminded me of the Saturdays. Major improvement on last week.
Score: 7/10
One Direction - Sang My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson. Weak vocals but I'm sure that their army of teenage/paedo fans will get them through to next week.
Score: 6/10
Diva Fever - Sang Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce. Again, not a strong vocal, but they are the most fun act on the entire show. I could see their version of this song hitting number 1!
Score: 9/10
Louis & The Over 28's
Storm Lee - Sang Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen. Vocal was very shouty, not sure if he was suited to the song. Overall performance was good - think he might be in danger.
Score: 6/10
John Adeleye - Sang Song For You by Donny Hathaway. Heartfelt performance from what seems like a genuinely nice guy. I hope he goes far in the competition.
Score: 9/10
Wagner - Sang Just Help Yourself by Tom Jones. Bonkers performance, crap routine and honestly thought that some of it was sung in a different language.
Score: 5/10
Mary Byrne -Sang You Don't Have to Say You Love Me by Dusty Springfield. Another fantastic performance, perfect vocal and is the obvious crown fave!
Score: 10/10
My prediction for the two people leaving tomorrow would be Cher Lloyd and Wagner! Stay tued tomorrow evening to see if I'm right.
