The X Factor 2012 - Week 4 - Halloween (allegedly)

Handbags at dawn. We bring you... Breathgate!

Oh, and Lucy Spraggan has been given a week off due to ill health. Get well, Lucy.

TEAM GARY BARLOW
1. Kye Sones - Let Me Entertain You [Robbie Williams]
He hardly has the presence and swagger to pull this song off. Not even close. That said, it was his best vocal so far.

TEAM LOUIS WALSH
2. Union J - Sweet Dreams [Beyoncé]
Their best vocals to date, and a pretty decent performance to boot, too.

TEAM NICOLE SCHERZINGER
3. Rylan Clark - Toxic [Britney Spears]/ Horny [Mousse T]/ Poison [Nicole Scherzinger]
Same old, same old. Vote for him, that'll show that mean old bully, Gary. Yawn.

TEAM TULISA
4. Ella Henderson - Bring Me To Life [Evanescence]
Top tune, top vocalist. How could it go so horribly wrong? Nicole was spot-on; the song was in the wrong key, it did not suit her voice and just made both her and the song sound all the worse for it.

TEAM GARY
5. Christopher Maloney - (I Just) Died In Your Arms [Cutting Crew]
Chris is a bit infuriating, because he does nothing original, innovative or current- but has a great voice, and performs well.

Ooh Gary just called Tulisa "fagbreath" and Tulisa returned with "red wine breath". Meow!

TEAM LOUIS
6. District 3 - Every Breath You Take [Police]/ Beautiful Monster [Ne-Yo]
Their vocals were pretty awful on the chorus. The mash-up had nothing to do with it. The dancing certainly didn't help.

TEAM NICOLE
8. Jahmene Douglas - Killing Me Softly [Roberta Flack]
I've made this complaint before, but this is not a romantic song. It is a song about a singer/songwriter performing a song that you feel could have been written about you. Absolutely NO reason to change "his" to "her" unless you're a homophobe. End of. His vocals were back to tedious anyway.

TEAM FAGBREATH
9. Jade Ellis - Freak Like Me [Edina Howard/Sugababes]
What a catastrophe. Hellish arrangement of a crap song that was only good when mashed up with a Gary Numan song. By the time that kicked in, the damage was done. She deserves so much better.

TEAM NICOLE
10. James Arthur - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) [Eurythmics/Marilyn Manson]
As usual, he looks a mess but his vocals were pretty fantastic. The arrangement was spot-on for his voice.

RESULTS

Bottom two: Jade and District 3.
Jade goes home.
