Thex Factor - Queen and Lady Gaga - 'Don't be a drag, just be a queen'

1. Marcus – that was ridiculously good. Though I have to worry about him always wearing suits and having a quiff up front and a harem of male dancers behind. It reminds me too much of Ray Quinn. He’ll end up in a touring production of Grease and it’ll be his own fault!

2. Amelia – I still have her absurd cover of Billie Jean on my Ipod. She was unlucky to be voted off the first week so Ihave no great issue with her coming back. The yelping near the end was very off so she misses out on top place just this once. Also shes just so hard.

3. Janet – lovely and not as boring as they said. I liked the yelping and it was infinitely more in tune than her so-scary-she’s-a-stalker’s-stalker cover of The Police.

4. Little Mix – When I used to blog at length, I would write about the contestants’ VTs. I don’t have the energy to do that again this year as I’d have to concentrate when Marcus and Craig witter on about nothing. But I do want to mention the girls’ VT as it featured a rank-looking goat curry made by Tulisa. I love that she makes goat curry and ting.
Little Mix’s Gaga cover rocked as they’re not afraid to sound a bit wonky and whore around. Which is the secret to a Gaga performance. Well done girls!

5. Misha B – I did not enjoy this slowed-down dulled-up Gaga cover. I want Misha with the extreme hair and make up and shrill wailing. I didn’t care it made her look like a bitchy alien. This full-voiced frizzy-haired woman is no fun. Louis compared her to Chaka Khan or Jackie Chan – it wasn’t clear.

6. Craig - A ballady Gaga. A boringy Gaga too. Craig should’ve camped it up like last week. Or sung an actual ballad like You and I or Queen’s The Show Must Go On.

7. Kitty - the only Queen song I definitely don’t like. Yuk! Her enunciation is no better than Goldie’s. I guess it’s just less funny because she’s not Chinese. It was her time to go.

Thex Factor - Club classics - 'It's not over, not over, not over yet'

1. Marcus - Reet Petite was pretty cool. Except for all the references to SHE being fine.

2. Misha - I miss the crazy Gaga Grace Jones make up but she still has a good voice.

3. The Risk - I thought the white singers and the verses were good. But that left a lot of not-so-good. I didn't think they deserved to go but I'm not crying into my porridge.

4. Little Mix - it took me a good minute and a half to work out what song this was. Damn you Rihanna and your five similar hits a year!

5. Craig - his DJ Sammy cover was passable and in tune. He should've done the candelight mix though.

6. Kitty - she's very nasal and stilted this week. She sings like a French exchange student. It's in English but it's a series of sounds, not words.

7. Janet - there was bogling and mind-boggling hair. Like she'd just bought some straighteners from Superdrug but the manual was in Polish. It was all very wedding singer-y. And she was singing about girls too. The big lezzer!

8. Johnny - He tried the old Wagner trick of singing two songs. It got him eliminated.

9. Frankie - all I wrote in my notes was 'the vest, eww'

Thex Factor - Club classics - 'I got the power!

Club classics week. Sigh
It did not make me dance much
It made me seasick

Thex Factor - Halloween - 'I'm a motherfucking monster'

1. Misha B – She’s bold. She bullies. She bottom two’d it up real nice.

2. Craig – I liked the drums with fiery rain. I can’t remember his performance that well now. I think he may be the new Joe McE.

3. Sophie – She wisely chose to whisper most of it.

4. Kitty – she had a Catherine wheel. The week before Bonfire Night. Mistimed, if not misjudged.

5. Little Mix – in descending order, I liked the staging, the make up, the song choice. Oh and the performance last.

6. Janet – she is not showing off the best of her voice.

7. Marcus – mash up respect bootleg alert! Perhaps he did one as a tribute to Cher Lloyd - the queen of the mash up respect bootleg.

8. Johnny – this should have been girlier but it was fine.

9. Frankie – I’m not sure whether I preferred the very loud backing vocals or the Chas & Dave accent.

10. The Risk – Charlie should do all the singing. Accidents like this happen when he doesn’t

Thex Factor - Halloween - 'Show me your teeth'

They all got dressed up
Alexandra tran style rules
Tulisa's ears - yuk
