Saturday night saw Olly with a broken finger (or 'almost a broken arm', as Simon would like it to be known), Jamie gaining even more criticism from Louis Walsh who of course knows everything there is to know about rock, being the manager of Westlife and Boyzone. Lloyd improved performance wise, but still gave the weakest performance of the night, while Joe took on a huge ballad and worked that X Factor lighting fabulously.
John and Edward rapped their way through Queen/Vanilla Ice's 'Under Pressure (Ice Ice baby)'. (Erm, rules Louis? Hypocrite much?). But as Simon said 'In Jedward land, that was your best performance yet', and I must say I am finding them more and more attractive every week. This worries me slightly. Stacey gave a very good vocal and recieved very good comments from the judges, but for me, I'm not quite sure what all the fuss is about. Danyl gave a fantastic rendition of 'We are the Champions' equipped with his signiture long note.
Also in saturday nights show was the peculiar spectacle of DJ, Calvin Harris, invading the stage during John and Edwards performance with a pinapple on his head. Apparently attempting to immitate their infamous hair.
He was asked to leave the studio and was not permitted to appear on the Xtra Factor where Nick Grimshaw was asked to take his place. It seems that the X Factor has taken the fruity display personally and are very angry about it. I, personally, found it incredibly funny. I mean HE HAD A PINAPPLE ON HIS HEAD FOR GOODNESS SAKE. Jedward were characteristically oblivious to the situation and carried on singing regardless, even throwing in a nice little man hug. Calvin Harris then exited the stage but not before giving John (probably?) a slap on the bottom.
Sunday night saw Jamie 'Afro' and Lloyd in the bottom two. (My personal predictions may I just say!)
Louis set himself up for what was inevitable by saying before either contestent had performed that he would make his decision on who he thought would improve the most throughout the competition. Dannii (rightfully so) gave him an inquizitive look before saying 'Well for me its just who sings the best.' Well done Miss Minogue, you are soaring in our expectations with every word you utter.
Jamie gave, what I perceived to be, his best performance yet with Queens 'The show must go on'. Lloyd sang a song well suited to his voice (mostly due to the lack of range)- 'Last Request' by Paolo Nutini.
Just as expected Cheryl and Simon saved their own acts while Louis saved Lloyd and Dannii saved Jamie, taking the vote to 'getting-a-bit-boring' deadlock. I was mildly shocked to find that Jamie had received the lowest number of votes from the public and so was knocked out of the competition.
I am not going to be hypocritical and blame Lloyd for Jamies exit (just as I didnt blame Jedward for Lucie's)
I blame Louis Walsh.
