X Factor Live Show 1 – Part 2

*Diva Fever* was Simon’s wild card and well what can I say? Neo coloured t-shirt and cycle shorts?? I did not think much of their song choice, they sang ‘Sunny’ by Boney M but I could not help but love them! I think they bring such a different element to the competition, definitely the underdogs of the show like Jedward were last year. You either love them or hate them!

Betting: NO BET for me, but this duo to be eliminated at Betfair 20£ in Free bets!’s 10.00 will get plenty of support. The Eurovision Song Contest fan group will be backing this duo, and that will keep them alive for 2-3 more weeks.

*Paiji Richardson* was one of the wild cards brought back, which I was really pleased about. His voice is very deep and soulful, and with the right guidance he could be a right powerhouse I reckon! He sang ‘Killing me Softly’ by Roberta Flack, his version was ok, but I was distracted by that hideous outfit he was placed into! Wardrobe, please do better next week!

Betting: The big guy is very likeable, and the bookmakers place him 8th out of 14 contestants. NO BET.

* Katie Waissel* or should I say Wannabe! She sang ‘We are the Champions’  by Queen, the song she sang and forgot the words too in her first audition! It was a very dreary performance and her costume was ridiculous. Ok, I get she wants to be different and stand out, but as she worked as a receptionist for a hair salon they could have sorted her out, jeez! Katie found herself in the sing-off, but the girl pulled it out of the bag, she sang her heart out and the judges saved her.

Betting: Bet365 200£ Free bets! offers 6.00 for Katie to be eliminated this week. I feel very confident about this bet. She isnt’t a good singer, the public clearly isn’t behind her (I’m not a fan) and neither her 1st audition nor her boot camp performance deserved a place in the LIVE finals. This is a good bet.
