borneoman · 10-02-2010, 08:43 PM

krishna830 · 10-02-2010, 09:49 PM

I was waiting for the judges to just look at each other and say, 'Well that was ****e!'

Vienna · 10-02-2010, 10:50 PM

well they were never going to do that, they chose the bloody song for him!!!

Samart · 10-03-2010, 12:20 AM

Huuummm, I can't be that categoric.
I don't think that guy can't sing well. He sang it in a different way.
Murdered it ? Naaah.

I don't like it either, but I think it's ok.
ps : I NEVER look at these kind of shows by the way.

borneoman · 10-03-2010, 07:43 AM

so it was chosen by the judges? makes sense cos it was Judges Houses week... does it mean Dannii is a Damien fan??

this reminds me of how Diana Vickers did The Blower's Daughter in her casting couple years ago, and look at her now, she didn't win XF (think she ended up 4th) but this year she got a UK #1 single & album

yeh I don't think it's bad that he sang it, I do watch these shows, but I don't like this guy because he's jumping on a bandwagon with his singing-style, as are a lot of the contestants this year. but then these shows are never original are they, so just gotta take it for what it is.

At least X-Factor's cool enough to have people who sing Damien Rice songs. If I hear one more American Idol person thinking they're impressing people by singing "Over the Rainbow" or "Respect" I'll go insane.

Murder is a good thing compare to the way he ruined this song...

verenita · 10-09-2010, 01:54 PM

i know a bit about xfactor because of your posts and i don´t like this kind of show... i definitely didn´t like this version, at all. i think his voice isn´t bad though.

and it´s been ages since i saw natalie imbruglia for the last time, lol.

Spamlet · 10-09-2010, 02:54 PM

Did that girl say he's not my cup? I thought she idolized him.

The kid wasn't bad at all. I was expecting a British Hung, Sanjaya or Taylor.

Amie R. · 10-09-2010, 05:16 PM

I didn't think it was bad...he is young,needs help to how to use his voice and I don't think the show is all bad. Many talented people out there needs to get started someway...

borneoman · 10-11-2010, 12:44 PM

at least Damien sold a few more CDs, Cannonball is re-entering at #79 in the UK and I'm O would re-enter the top 200 too

funny how this Aiden that covered Cannonball is now the #1 favourite to win X Factor this year
