X Factor 28th November 2009: Stacey Solomon - Rule The World

X Factor's Stacey Solomon struggled at the start of Take That's Rule The World tonight. It is an amazing track and I can see why Dannii Minogue chose it, however it was way too low for her.

I hate to say it, because I actually kind of like dippy Stace, but this had to be her worst performance yet. It was flat and pitchy and when her voice emerged from behind the backing track her weaknesses were very much exposed.

In all, I loved the dress but for tonight anyway, not the voice.

Louis: I like you every week. I think you’re getting better and better. You don’t believe this but you’re a really good singer. You absolutely did it for me.

Cheryl: I don’t think people realise how tough it is to sing a male vocal when you’re a female vocalist.

Simon: Where you have an advantage being a girl singing a male song is that it’s not going to sound like a karaoke version. I thought that was very believable, it was the perfect song choice for you, and it was better than your song last week.

Dannii: Stacey is the true star of this show, and I don’t think people realise how much you’ve come on each week.
