Having watched this weekend’s X Factor shenanigans live from the studio as an Xtra Factor guest, outspoken writer and TV presenter Dawn Porter tells us exactly what she thought of the Floor Fillers performances and the shocking double elimination...
OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT A SHOCKER OF A DOUBLE EVICTION!
OK, I am not sad that The Risk have gone because I know they will do well even thought they are out of the competition. They are handsome and can all obviously sing in tune.
WOW, being in the audience at The X Factor on Saturday night was so exciting I could barely contain myself.
Seeing the acts in the flesh made it all so real. This isn’t just a TV show to shout and swear at from your sofa, these are real people with real dreams, who really want to win this competition.
I have sat at home thinking Frankie is a player, and his voice, er, needs work, but seeing him in the flesh made me feel very differently.
I realised he is really just a teenage boy doing what most teenage boys dream of doing, but being booed on Saturday night wasn’t fun for Frankie. I saw him after the show and he was gutted, it made me feel bad for him. Plus, according to everyone that works there, he is a really, REALLY nice guy.
Being booed isn’t cool and it shouldn’t have happened. Because of that, I am glad he went through this week. But Frankie, if you are reading this, please improve your singing.
And then there was Johnny, and what a total joy he was. I have a feeling we will see a lot more of him in the future. He always seemed to be having the time of his life and I don’t think going out this week knocked him back at all. GO JOHNNY!
My favorite to win is Misha B. She performs like she has been doing it for 30 years. In person she was even more impressive. I also LOVE Little Mix. They have worked so hard and it shows. I would buy tickets for either of those acts in concert, and I hope I get the chance to do just that.
