This week our final six got the command to dance and while there were mostly moves in the right direction, one or two managed to really upset the rhythm.
When our Aussie series reached its final six this time last year, we already had our handful of polished contestants. All the performers had found their place by then and were capable of turning out vocally consistent results.
This show actually feels like a big budget end-of-year concert thrown by a local singing school. Is this really what the X Factor is all about? There is no X Factor Australia recap this week because I struggled to stay awake through the hour-long beigefest of predictable performances.
Not only did everybody get the memo to up their game but a few of them even went on to successfully own their first live show performance. The whole point of doing a 1 hits show is to sniff out the potential artists from the garden variety karaoke hustlers, right? You want to see somebody putting their stamp on an overplayed and well-familiar hit, and breathe some new life into it.
At this stage of the competition, you should already be showing the public what kind of records we can expect from you. The guy is not making the best of his time on the X Factor. Email Address:.
Check out my one last examination of the final three acts — Andrew, Johnny and Reece — before the grand final decider on Tuesday, 22 November: Continue reading. Click words for definitions.

This is simply due to the way the search algorithm works. Urban Thesaurus crawls the web and collects millions of different slang terms, many of which come from UD and turn out to be really terrible and insensitive this is the nature of urban slang, I suppose.
Hopefully the related words and synonyms for " term " are a little tamer than average. The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary. No matter how you look at it, the panel was always gonna be split equally. We remain as the only territory to have picked up this track and run with it. I suppose he is winning after all. People probably stopped buying it because they knew the album was coming [Editor's note: in fact, A Million Suns as it is called came out on Friday].
We all kinda saw this doing well ever since it started appearing on the iTunes charts based on pre-orders alone. LDR really is one of the best discoveries has brought to date. You can peruse reviews and pick up so many great descriptors of her style eg. Gotye has also been confirmed to perform at the award ceremony on 27 November. Dude, this song is like less than two minutes long. Biophilia wound up with only 9, first week sales in the UK. The experimental artiste definitely has more of a cult following, which usually means heavy first week sales, then you fall off the charts.
If this is as good as it gets for the first week then we might be in trouble. But before we start toasting, Ultimate Steps pulled a humble 34, first week sales to go 1 — making it the second lowest selling 1 in the UK this year. Back in their hey day, Steps managed three million -selling albums — Step One 1.
Could the Ultimate Steps collection gather enough momentum to reach those heights come their April reunion shows? Adele is still canceling every other ho in the game here. The British soul siren is on course to become the first artist to score both biggest selling album and single in both the US and UK since The Beatles did it in Looking on the album charts, Adele has not only got the biggest selling album in UK this year with 21 hitting 3.
The Brits are going hard for RiRi. Apparently this is only the second single in history to have spent seven weeks at 2 and never go 1. That one also made 3. These charity records have all gone 1 and traditionally sold quite generously as well.
Amazingly enough, Scotty is also the first American Idol winner since to have a debut album enter at 1. Clear As Day sold a meek , copies to top the charts. The last Idol winner to have an album debut at 1 — Ruben Stannard — pulled off , first-week sales. Just saying. I mean, damn. There are reportedly over 4, Walmart stores around the US and only 1, Target branches.
There you go. Less Mami Gloria CDs to go around. Meanwhile, further down, J. Not only did everybody get the memo to up their game but a few of them even went on to successfully own their first live show performance.

At this stage of the competition, you should already be showing the public what kind of records we can expect from you. The guy is not making the best of his time on the X Factor. But this week, something clicked and out came this modern realisation of Andrew Wishart. These guys put in such good value family entertainment. The insufferable squeals, the pointless verdicts and inability to actually judge has really snowballed to a point where I have to put my hands up and call a bitch out.
What do you think this is? Talk about a set-up for failure! The closest this fair-haired Melbourne teen has come to owning a live show performance was probably the first week. Ever since, he has either come extremely close to sounding on-point or completely alienating the viewers with hardcore song choices.
This is some bullshit. They step off looking so very marketable, thanks to Ronan worked tirelessly to craft this fitting, fun-loving image for them. And you know when push comes to shove these guys can really sing. Declan , on the other hand, surprisingly found himself in the bottom for the first time after turning out what I would consider to be his best performance yet. Perhaps his core fan base had interpreted that performance as him selling out or felt that it was so universally lauded that they need not vote as hard.
This is where I really needed the judging panel to step in and have the final say on shit because — as demonstrated week after week — Australia clearly has no concept on what is great for the X Factor. However, we found ourselves thrown into deadlock again this week, which means the public votes would decide who ultimately gets the boot.
Somebody has to make the hard decisions and it should be the panel who has spent more time with the contestants than anyone else. Well clearly this has gone beyond a joke as another consistent entertainer leaves the competition. There is no X Factor Australia recap this week because I struggled to stay awake through the hour-long beigefest of predictable performances.
The remaining seven contestants took us through some very dutiful and safe covers of popular home-grown hits this week. Is wall-to-wall rock and a touch of folk all there is to know?
Rock and live band kinda music is what typically thrives best in the Australian music scene. I see you nodding. Yes, I could go on all day with my brilliant song choices but I might have to charge. In fact, it seems like Guy Sebastian is experimenting more musically with Declan Sykes and Johnny Ruffo than he is with their stablemate Reece.
With this kid rocker, there is no range or capacity for a variety of performance antics. He will come out every time and point blank fire raging vocals at you. There is no room to show off dance skills like you would expect from Johnny or perhaps, try a softer singing style like you would with Declan. What you see is definitely what you will always get with Reece - which can be a good or bad thing, depending on your preference.
Better yet, they where threatening a self-styled rap interlude. All three members of Three Wishez dazzled this week with equal vocal contributions — particularly Joseph, who was entrusted with his first lead vocal placement. I really appreciate the harmonies, arrangements and cohesive rap input. It would seem that I can finally loosen my grip on that arm rest now every time Declan sings.
Prepare to clutch your pearls in disbelief. It really helped that our expectations were already wallowing at an all time low. But regardless of how you felt about these two — Mitchell and Johnny have undeniably given their best showcase yet. The tatted-up, over 25s singer finally serving heartfelt, country realness and the Ruffo, returning to his dance-intensive roots.
And it was magic. Johnny Ruffo , on the other hand, knows what kind of artist he wants to be and was lucky enough to have lived it on stage every week. However, the same thing that flaws Johnny as a performer is also the same thing that really endears him to me.
We are a sucker for the underdog and I feel like Johnny Ruffo is the one you wanna see grow and succeed through the competition. That, my friends, is the kind of hard work and growth potential you want to tune in to see every week.
Only three more shows until X Factor Australia has a winner. Can you pick one from the pack already? This week our final six got the command to dance and while there were mostly moves in the right direction, one or two managed to really upset the rhythm.
When our Aussie series reached its final six this time last year, we already had our handful of polished contestants.

Gurl has arrived a little tardy to the party on this discussion.
As I said last week when Johnny wound up in the Bottom Two, I think the lad brings some much needed entertainment value to the show. There are loads of semi-capable vocalists in the music industry. The key is finding the right songs and highlighting the best of your natural vocal abilities.
