X Factor UK 11: Top 5

Thank God for a more current theme! I felt like dying after almost three weeks of overdone and cliche songs, and while there were still some this week, I didn't mind. We're almost at the finish line, and I thought everyone delivered decent to strong performances - especially with Stevi Ritchie gone last week.

On with the show!

10. Stereo Kicks
Just The Way You Are
[GROUPS]
The solos sounded rough and it just didn't come together. 

09. Lauren Platt
Clarity
[GIRLS]
She looked awfully awkward on stage and those bum notes were too obvious not to take notice.

08. Ben Haenow
Come Together
[OVERS]
He sang it good, but the production was too much that it became a lot distracting.

07. Fleur East
If I Ain't Got You
[OVERS]
Overdone song. Her vocals sounded fine, but there was nothing special to this.

06. Andrea Faustini
Hero
[BOYS]
I honestly hated the song choice. Yes, he sang parts in acapella and his vocals were pretty spot on, but I just died from the song alone.

05. Lauren Platt
Don't You Worry Child
[GIRLS]
It wasn't perfect, but her lovely tone worked wonders in this arrangement. It's subtle and beautiful.

04. Stereo Kicks
Run
[GROUPS]
The staging was genius. The solos sounded on point, and the build up added dimension to their performance.

03. Ben Haenow
Thinking Out Loud
[OVERS]
Not sure what Mel B was talking about because this was a relatively solid performance. Sure, it wasn't Ed Sheeran, but he made it his own and that grit in his voice was divine.

02. Fleur East
A Fool In Love
[OVERS]
I was a bit iffy with the song choice, but Fleur made it sound current - despite the song being a musical fossil - and the presence she brought to it was fantastic.

01. Andrea Faustini
Chandelier
[BOYS]
I was expecting him to crash and burn with this song choice, but his voice just soared higher and higher. The first part was perfection, and when he hit the chorus, I just gave up. Easily one of Andrea's best performance to date.
