X Factor 28th November 2009: Lloyd Daniels - I'm Still Standing

What a turn around for Lloyd Daniels tonight. He sang in tune (mostly) and looked comfortable on the stage for once.

Once again, Cheryl Cole chose another song that suited his voice perfectly. They should’ve been doing stuff like this with him from the start. The only problem is that his voice is the weakest part of the mix.

Louis: Round 1, you kind of won me over. It just didn’t look like you were having a good time, and it was just a bit karaoke for me.

Dannii: Lyrically, you’re still proving a point there. A fantastic production. Vocally, it is still shaky, but better than the first song.

Simon: I thought that was a silly song choice. That retro routine didn’t suit you, it didn’t suit the song. It was like something from an amateur dramatics production. Cheryl, you are a pop star, you understand what’s right for the artist, what’s right for the song.

Cheryl: I’m very very proud of you for coming out and delivering each week after you get such hard criticism.
