We’ve just about recovered from the bumper dose
of epic bootcamp action, our nerves may only just make it through taking a look
back.
Yes it’s hugely influenced in the edit, yes it
can be completely contrived and biased but you can’t deny its bloody wonderful
television.
The three nights of action gave us literally
everything the X Factor has to offer; talent, tears, tantrums, shocks, sobs,
wow’s, woe’s and drama aplenty!
Friday’s installment quickly breezed over the
first challenge where the contestants were whittled down, with the drama to
follow you can kind of see why, but it’d have been nice to see some of the
performances all the same. We may never know how awesome some were or why some
got sent home, for the most part we were left wondering who actually made it
through the cull.
Then came the good stuff. It was time for Cheryl
to pick her six girls, normally an emotional and difficult task but it was made
all the more harder with her inability to say no, dishing out chairs like she
was getting them from DFS.
The Girls – Final Six
Lola Saunders
It wasn’t Lola’s best audition we’ve seen, for
some reason things just didn’t quite connect, maybe the nerves got the better
of her this once. Regardless her talent is undeniable and she’s done more than
enough in past rounds to earn her spot.
Chloe-Jasmine
Things didn’t exactly go smooth sailing for
Chloe. She gave a novel version of a Backstreet Boys track that we couldn’t
help but love and took a seat, then someone else came along and we had to wave
bye to Chloe (we were heartbroken). But that wasn’t that! Cheryl uttered the
words “I’ve made a mistake” and back she came; woohoo! Judges houses would
never have been the same without her, that’s for sure.
Stephanie Nala
It all went perfectly for Stephanie, she
performed a delicately cool version of Wicked Games and there was no doubt she
was getting a seat. Despite how obvious it was she was born to be in Cheryl’s
final six (probably amongst other things) Stephanie looked the most nervous as
they sat waiting to learn their final fate; bless.
Emily Middlemas
You’d be forgiven for thinking Emily was just
giving a pressure free performance in front of a bunch of polite mates with how
relaxed she seemed. Her performance was pretty perfect, it was fun and screamed
her, at such a young age it’s mind blowing that she already seems so confident
in knowing what type of artist she is.
Lauren Platt
Possibly our favourite bootcamp audition out of
all the girls. At such a young age Lauren has her own style and her own mind.
Her performance of Man In The Mirror is something we’d love to have on our iPod
and it’d make it into every play list; we liked it. Definitely a frontrunner
for the girls.
Kerrianne Covell
Another flawless performance from Kerrianne made
sure Cheryl had to make another tough decision on whose seat she was to take.
Having not given a single dodgy audition we’d have shaved our dog if Kerrianne
hadn’t made it through. Another one to watch in the girls’ category.
It wasn’t the best of episodes for Cheryl,
although it did make a nice change from the usual love-in. There was some
seriously miffed boo’s being heckled in her direction and she didn’t exactly
deal with it all to well. It was like Gamu all over again!
