So, Spencer just posted this a couple of days ago on his official Youtube channel and I don’t think I am the only one here who thinks that he deserves to stay longer in the X Factor. But it’s over now and the good thing that came off of it is that we discovered this super amazing vocalist that we didn’t even know existed who’s actually been doing music for a while now! How’s that?
Here’s Spencer’s take on Sam Smith’s comeback single, Too Good At Goodbyes.
There’s a bit of a change this season with the live shows as the four categories will be performing across two shows with the Girls and the Boys categories performing on the first night. This is where the wildcard winners were also announced with Alisah Bonaobra and Leon Mallett making it via the public votes for their respective categories.
There will also be a winner for each live show with the two winners battling it out on Sunday to win certain prizes.
The Live Show 1 winner is none other than…
This is an absolutely breathtaking performance from Grace. I wonder if she’ll just be singing original songs all through out her stay in the competition. Her song is called Too Young and it’s absolutely brilliant! A really deserving win, indeed!
And apparently, a chance to see P!nk in concert is the prize this week! Even Dermot made a mistake when he said that she’d get to see Pink… watch…
Holly Tandy – Hollow by Tori Kelly
She isn’t the most polished singer in the bunch but she’s got incredible tone and stage presence. I could totally see her making Top 6.
Rai-Elle Williams – Doo Wop (That Thing) and Lost Ones by Lauryn Hill and No by Meghan Trainor
I don’t hink she’s the strongest singer in the competition but she’s very charming! Girl got sass and I absolutely loved her performance overall.
And finally, as I’ve said from the previous post – Alisah just killed it. Her song choice was absolutely brilliant and she looked wonderful!
Sam Black – Faith by Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande.
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved Sam’s personality and he seems like a nice bloke but I gotta say – he is the weakest amongst the boy and probably one of the weakest singers in the show. I don’t exactly know why he got in instead of the likes of Benji…
Lloyd Macey – City of Stars by Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone (OST – La La Land)
That personality, that accent! He’s absolutely adorable! And that freaking song!I didn’t think I’d say this but he’s absolutely a winner material after that performance!
Leon Mallett – Stay by Zedd and Alessia Cara
I wasn’t expecting Leon to make it to the live show and win the public votes as the boys wildcard but they obviously loves him. This performance was just okay. Nothing spectacular. I’m gonna give him two more weeks in the show tops.
Spencer Sutherland – Who You Are by Jessie J
What just happened there? I thought he’s the strongest in his category but seriously, what the ever loving fuck? I’m still baffled until now.
It all boils down to Spencer and Leon…such a shame really. Leon over Spencer is just utter BS. #RealTalk
I’m not worried about Louis’ category. After the weekend, I am fairly sure that they are the weakest category. Ugh. I have to apologize to the girls because I keep on yapping on how they are the weakest prior to the judges’ house episodes. The super cute Mika helped Louis picked his top 3!
Aidan Martin – One Last Time by Ariana Grande
He’s a really good singer but he’s a bit dated for me. Not sure about the guy.
Sam Black – Hard To Handle by Otis Redding
I still believe it’s unfair for him to go through this stage without battling it out in the Six Chair Challenge. Ugh. And no, I didn’t like his performance here. I was cringing watching it.
Leon Mallett – Dreams by Gabrielle
What the hell is Leon thinking choosing this song? No, just no.
Jack Mason – Clown by Emeli Sandes
I absolutely loved Jack’s song choice and he sounds absolutely divine! Let’s be honest, they chose the other guys because of their looks. Ugh. Louis!
Spencer Sutherland – Wasted Time (Original)
Spencer is full sex appeal. Just pure sex appeal. I do think he’s the strongest in this category.
Lloyd Macey – How Far I’ll Go by Auli’i Cravalho
What a clever choice! I loved this song from Moana and this just fit Lloyd’s voice perfectly!!!
The boys! The boys, the boys, the boys! I initially thought that this was the strongest category this year what with Anthony Russell, Aidan Martin and Jack Mason leading the pack but after seeing all of their performances from the Bootcamp up to the Six Chair Challenge, I figured that they’re just slightly better than the Girls category whom I considered the weakest this year. At this stage, the winner for me will probably be coming from either the Overs or the Groups category. Anyway, here are the performances of the boys who made it through the judges house hoping to make it to the live shows. Such a shame really because front-runner Anthony Russell was booted even before reaching the judges’ house. You will see at the end of this post the ‘boy’ Louis decided to bring back which is really baffling to be honest.
Leon Mallet – I really thought that Alex is much better than him but truth be told, I’m still baffled why he made it over Benji Matthews. Seriously…
Singing a judge’s song is a big risk but I thought Spencer delivered real well with his oversinging (yes Louis, I’ve to agree with you) of the Pussycat Dolls’ Dont Cha. It was a very smart choice and I think his main purpose is to display his vocals which I thought is one of the best of the night.
I just find him overly dramatic. He sang a very heartfelt original song called Punchline and secured his seat from Nicole! Uhm…
I absolutely loved his song choice! He’s probably the best in the boys category now that Anthony is out of the competition. It was a very well deserved seat!
He’s okay I guess but he’s just gonna be a filler in the competition.
Anthony’s last performance…
Here’s the super likable Benjie Matthews singing an original! I’m fucking gutted that he didn’t get a seat!!!
You see, Anthony was booted out and guess who they asked to comeback??? None other than SAM BLACK. I mean, cmon! He’s not even in the Six Chair Challenge!!!!
So, Spencer just posted this a couple of days ago on his official Youtube channel and I don’t think I am the only one here who thinks that he deserves to stay longer in the X Factor. But it’s over now and the good thing that came off of it is that we discovered this super amazing vocalist that we didn’t even know existed who’s actually been doing music for a while now!
