X Factor Shock! - Robert Out!

 

Performance wise I wasn�t blown away this week and once again thought the song choices were lame! They had Ray sing �Livin La Vida Loca� just so he wasn�t doing another swing number, which came across as a poor Elvis impersonation. Sort your hair out Ray! It�s not 1950!

 

Then there was Leona with the same old same old. She can really sing but if I hear another ballad (sheesh!) and to top it off Eton Road fell flat on their face with a tuneless version of Scissor Sisters, Don�t Feel Like Dancing. I have to say that much as Anthony is very individual I�m afraid the nerves get to him and his voice is unpredictable on the live shows. One minute it�s like he has the voice of an angel and the next he squeaks like a mouse that�s been stepped on and it hurts my ears. At the moment it�s Dan who actually stands out vocally in the band.

 

Both Robert and Ben stole the show for me with heartfelt genuine performances as always�

 

With the public votes in and counted it was a shock result with Liverpool�s favourite Eton Road and Robert facing the sing off. Simon said he was looking for a lot of grovelling off both acts but promised to make his decision based on their performances.

 

I don�t think Robert should have been in the bottom two but wasn�t surprised that Eton Road were there. I was gobsmacked that Ray and the Macdonald Brothers are still in! They should be fighting it out between them! Both acts redeemed themselves with improved performances in the sing off but it wasnt enough for one act.

 

With Sharon and (a very emotional) Louis choosing to save their own act it was all down to Simon who chose to send home Robert. A very gracious Robert said: �This show has given me a new lease of life and it won�t be the last that you see of me.�

 

Guest star�s gave their critique on tonight�s acts and all the Westlife boys praised Leona�s performance but Delta Goodrem was backing Scottish act the MacDonald Brothers! Whatever next!
