X Factor 28th November 2009: Olly Murs - Love Ain’t Here Anymore

</embed>

Olly Murs tried his hand at a ballad tonight for the first time on the X Factor. I think it was his strongest week yet.

At the start of the performance he was singing to a very scared looking girl in the front row, it was a little chessy sure but I would have paid to sit in her seat.

As unexcited as I am by his brown waistcoat and trousers ensemble, the song really suits his voice. And I’m so glad we don’t have to watch the ‘cheeky dancing’ that’s become his trademark. Olly hit all the high notes, managed the key change and added some great wee inflections with his vocals.

Louis: Everywhere I go people are telling me how much they like you. I’m glad you got your confidence back, that song totally suited you and I think you deserve to be in the final three.

Dannii: I really admired you for getting up there, but the sparkle wasn’t completely in your eyes for that song.

Cheryl: It was really lovely to see everything stripped away and just hear you sing. I’m looking forward to round two and seeing you back in your stride again.

Simon: Olly I’d like to start with the girl you were singing to, because she’s very cute. I think you sang the song well, you emoted the song well. What’s been great about what happened last week – no sulking, no complaining, you just got on with it.

I hate to admit it but I agree with Louis Walsh, Olly does deserve to be in the final!
