Welcome to a Spin Off from Strictly Tastic called Strictly Factor and these shows will take place every 2 days with the Final taking place on the 30th of January!
Also it is a way to be entertained and tonight you will see our 14 X Factor Contestants sing to our Judges who will score them and at the end, these Contestants will be coupled up with their Professional Partners!
Craig: Well, it did feel like I’ve been listening to it for hours and you could have changed it up a bit but I do see some potential in your voice.
Nicole: What a way to kick off the show as you got a fantastic voice that really beams with power and I can’t wait to see great things from you.
Motsi: This was a nice way to introduce yourself in the competition with that lovely tone you delivered and I can really see you improving show by show with this being a good start.
Simon: Look it’s alright and I know this is your first show but it didn’t impress me that much as I did feel bored at times however you did deliver some great vocals there.
Next up singing "With or Without You it is DIANA VICKERS!!!!!
Diana Vickers – “With or Without You”
Here are the Judge’s Comments:
Craig: I got to say this but I found this number to be dull and your vocals didn’t really shine today as you hold back your strength which is a shame to see.
Nicole: Girl you are showing me what type of performer you are here and don’t listen to Craig as I enjoyed your vocals which helps to define you.
Motsi: I just loved watching you out there and that performance almost brought me to tears as that is how you managed to make that impact and I reckon you’ll be a dark horse.
Simon: This was good and your vocals feel like marmite as some might love them and others don’t, for me I can see parts that can be improved with more practice.
