X Factor UK 11: Top 14

I had reservations with the theme - I figured that it would make for a very predictable night - but the song choices were mostly interesting and there were some serious rearrangements this week. The usual suspects delivered fantastic performances, while some faltered. How did everyone fare?

On with the show!

14. Stevi Ritchie
Never Gonna Give You Up
[OVERS]
He didn't bad, but I just can't take his performances seriously.

13. Stephanie Nala
Call Me
[GIRLS]
Boring. And yes, it's worse than being terrible.

12. Stereo Kicks
The Boys Of Summer
[GROUPS]
Unnecessary mess. 

11. Chloe Jasmine
Fame
[GIRLS]
Wrong song. Bad arrangement. Terrible vocals. 

10. Jack Walton
Straight Up
[BOYS]
Strange phrasing and there's a shrillness in his vocals that didn't sit with me well.

09. Only The Young
Come On Eileen
[GROUPS]
Eh.

08. Jack Quickenden
Total Eclipse of the Heart
[BOYS]
Solid vocals, but there's something missing.

07. Andrea Faustini
One Moment In Time
[BOYS]
His voice sounded good, but the song choice, arrangement and jacket didn't work for me. 

06. Fleur East
It's A Shame (My Sister)
[OVERS]
Swag. The rapping part was interesting and I liked that she offers something different to the competition. 

05. Paul Akister
If You Don't Know Me By Now
[BOYS]
Strong vocals. 

04. Lola Saunders
Imagine
[GIRLS]
There's both subtlety and power to her delivery that's pretty riveting. 

03. Jay James
I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
[OVERS]
Brilliant arrangement. Good vocals. Weird start. 

02. Ben Haenow
Jealous Guy
[OVERS]
The texture in his vocals gave this performance some dimensions that elevated the song to something exceptional. Plus, the passion was palpable.

01. Lauren Platt
Flashdance.. What A Feeling
[GIRLS]
She hit a wobbly note, but everything else was just beautiful.
