Next up it was Simon. Now Simon is normally the
unflappable sensible type, but even he got swept up in the drama of the
six-chair challenge! The Overs category is traditionally packed full of ageing
misfits but this year they should probably come up with a new name for this
bunch of attractive, talented, charming folks!
The Overs – Final Six
Ben Haenow
We might be a little bit in love with Ben. His
voice, his charisma, his personality, he just has it; whatever it is. Even
though he must have been nervous he looked so at home on the stage, sauntering
around like he was born to do it. We can’t wait to see what he’s got under his
sleeve for judges houses.
Stevi Ritchie
It’s no real shock Stevi’s made it to judges
houses, what would X Factor be without a loveable nutter, and we mean that in
the nicest way possible. If he’d have just stood on the stage in front of the
judges and sung a song we’d have felt cheated, cheated out of what’s possibly
the most wonderful thing we’ve ever seen. Stevi possessed by the spirit of
Patrick Swayze.
Lizzy Pattinson
Lizzy has gone somewhat under the radar since her
room audition and other than being R-Pattz’s sibling we don’t know much about
her. Oh other than the fact we adore her voice. It’s completely different to
what anyone else in the competition offers, she’s almost got a little bit of
country in her, a UK friendly amount. Hopefully we’ll see much more of what
she’s got to offer.
Jay James
Another beautiful performance from Jay. The
amount of emotion Jay puts into each performance is mesmerising to watch, no
matter what he sings he finds a way to connect to the lyrics and deliver them
with honesty. Just imagine the kind of moment Jay could have if he ever sung
something he’d written himself (I wonder if he writes songs?). There was no way
he wasn’t getting a seat.
Although we did have to wait 23 hours to find out
his obvious fate, still a nicely timed cliffhanger though.
Fleur East
Another all round performance from Fleur, Brian
Friedman must be bursting with joy at the thought of getting his creative hands
on her. The fact she can move around with confidence is a huge bonus and will
definitely help her stand out, it’d be nice to hear a stripped back performance
at judges houses though so we can really hear her voice.
Helen Fulthorpe
What a voice! She also gets huge bonus points for
picking one of our fave songs. There’s no denying Helen can sing, and when we
say sing we mean belt out a song with diva worthy vocals. We’d definitely pay
to see her in a starring role in Wicked.
Simon had a bit of a Cheryl moment when one
minute he was taking Lizzy’s seat then the next changing his mind to Raign.
Speaking of Raign, we feel a bit sorry for her, the disdain Cheryl clearly has
for her was initially a bit amusing but the further along Raign got the more
unprofessional and rude Cheryl became; all a bit uncomfortable to watch in the
end. Nonetheless Simon has himself a talented bunch of Overs.
