Oh I like her..

Yes bit Joan Armatrading?

Yep - that's what I was thinking.  Really loved her.

why didnt you turn then Will ?

So what you're saying Tom, is that she's well old.

twin on the right is much better than the one on the left

Cheeky girls who can sing

This is fun

A perm?

Is that Kirk off Corrie in a wig?

If this was X Factor, Louis would be all over him.

Playing Les Mis in the background.... sneaky, BBC. Sneaky.

Now its Roy Cropper 

did no one turn?I was elsewhere

She's great

spit your chewing gum out Mum

Lovely looking girl too, amazing skin. Was just about to say that she looked like a porcelain doll, and Rita beat me to it

See you 

It was nice of Rita to let those kids from her local special school to do her hair.

Sheep can be fun too.

I just listened to Sharon Murphy on you tube,  I really like her,reminded me a bit of Tracy Chapman.

with a bit of Rebecca Ferguson....  (nod to the sheepiness.. that I like)

Catch-up Musings

First guy: Not bad, not sure he has the looks to win and whatever anyone says, looks for some people count more than the talent.

Kim: I can see why she failed to get into S Club and Saturday's, her voice is just a bit identi-kit female singer. Heard a million singers like her. One to go early IMO.

Dawn with the horn: Surprised by her voice, loved the trumpet and song. Not turn, queue more stupid "regret" faces from the idiot panel.

Ross: I thought he was OK, liked the song choice and he is a musician to boot, although he did not drum much, not that he could really. Tom, tell that comment to Phil Collins to name one drummer/singer. Ross was better than Kim.

The Mac Brothers: I'm not convinced Rita knows exactly what she is doing. Not my kind of music, but they can sing/play, was not blown away by them. Interesting that we have more musicians that are not concentrating solely on the voice there Tom. You do realise that I am now going to fixate on that now Tom.

Hollie: I really don't care how she sings, I love her. Oh dear Hollie, why the faux American accent? William - WTF, really, is she the best you've heard tonight? Stop this presenting rubbish Hollie, your embarrassing yourself.

Ciaran: What a different take on that song. Not sure whether I liked it or not. Got a feeling that he was going with the usual sing the highest note you can ploy to turn the chairs. So the mentors have no idea how to work with someone who has a vocal range, wow what a handicap!!! As mentors you could coach him into "his voice" - #idiotvoicementors!

Morven: Errrrrrr the outfit!!! Calm down EC! Sounds like she has a strong voice. 17 wow, someone could work with her, get her in a band as vocalist.

Oli: Although it's different, the 'rasp' in his voice is a bit overpowering, coaching needed. A nice song, but not the best cover I've heard. Not really surprised they did not turn. Yeah I kinda agree with William a bit there.Tom agrees with me there about the 'rasp'!

Rosa: I feel there is a better sounding voice in her, just need to knock out her influences and the Americanisms. 16, got potential. Don't agree with Tom so much in his assessment. Good choice of mentor.

Sharon: She has a different voice for this programme and the fact she is going through should make it more interesting. William, after those words why did you not turn, after all you seem impressed. I think Tom just made a good pitch to be chosen. Ricky just threw the towel in on that one... and she chose Tom, no surprises there.

Dtwinz: Not bad, would not necessarily buy their stuff. Yes William, twins, so rare! I agree William, they were flat at the beginning. I hope these are the last act as I need to get on with stuff. They are a Rita or William act. Who will they choose? One could go with William and the other Rita! Well I got that right.

Cai: Oh dear, a Welshman, cue Tom and his nationalistic promotions. Like the song. Well would you believe it, Tom turned for the Welshman!!! This chap has a strange look. I do like him more than most tonight.

Stephen: Good voice, not my cup of tea, but a good voice. They won't turn as he is not what they want.Yes, the West End is his place. Anyone watching???

Olivia: Love this song and like her interpretation, very childlike. Waiting for the build. No build, that got me, liked that, will I like her going forward in the comp, who knows. Pretty girl. I would however say listen to Tori Amos' version of that song. Olivia's version is not a million miles from Tori's. I think Rita was captivated by the performance but will turn her into a.n.other R&B'ish singer.

Well, there you go, my musings. You can read them, ignore then, comment on them or skip right by without a word.

Adios for now.

EC.

Been out all day Saturday Velvet.

How are you then?

You too.  Just a fleeting visit as I have stuff to do today. 

Bumping for tonight.

Hope you'v all got your swivel chairs ready.

I'm not doing ^ again! 

Good, but not blown away by that performance.

His female friend is a bit irritating.

stage mum in the making.

The song is too much on one level and is taking too long to have any variation.

I'm kinda getting irritated when after 5 seconds of singing, they cut to friends and family screaming for them to "push the button".

Ridiculous!

So all you have to do to get a chair (or 4) to turn is to hit a high note. 

Ricky loves her.

Yes, yes and yes, me too. It spoils the judging of the performance for me and totally unnecessary.

They are enjoying it, but I don't think they will turn.

Rita thinks the Welsh are the kilt wearers! 

OK so this Welsh girl sounds exactly like another singer. But who? Karaoke vocals!

Good decision, he was truly average.

She has a strange look!
