With the Live Show segment of the season in full swing, the hopefuls are tasked on week 9 with pulling out all the stops to progress onto the next week. Judging the contestants are Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Mel B, and Louis Walsh.
Peep tonight’s performances after the jump…
TGJ’s Faves This Week
Fleur East

Not a hater of her, but I think she’s overrated. Yeah, she’s a great performer, she has the right look, but her voice it’s not that special, it’s mediocre. And I don’t understand why they keep pushing her on singing big songs, when she doesn’t have an ambitus for those songs. When she sings the high notes, she struggles like hell. For me, she’s a karaoke singer. This particular performance was considered “the best” by the judges because finally there was someone moving on the stage, after a long season with lots of boring standing performances.
It’s quite off never paid any attention to Uk X-Factor since I live in the USA…
cherly tried to shade by saying that they’ve never had a singer and dancer before when Alexandra was years ahead.
Fleur for me has a standard image and a basic voice. She’s delivering every shade of what’s been already done instead of pushing boundaries image wise. She can win this show but she’ll be another basic artist.
