X Factor week 3: Lucie Jones - My Funny Valentine

Welsh singer Lucie Jones is losing out due to lacklustre performances on stage – Cheryl said so last week. Michael Buble thought that she could create a 'nice intimate moment' tonight and thankfully  I think she succeeded.

Lucie needed to have a good week this week. We were starting to forget that she actually can sing quite brilliantly. Tonight she finally got a chance to showcase her voice properly and her vocals on My Funny Valentine were flawless and very controlled.

I loved the blood red dress and sleek hairdo too. Louis Walsh called her amazing and much as I hate to agree with Louis, he was 100% right.

Judges Comments

Louis: That was a very very amazing performance. A classic song and a great artist. It was just you and your voice. Brilliant arrangement.

Cheryl: Tonight you absolutely proved me wrong. It was stunning, it was effortless, it gave me goosebumps.

Simon: I thought it was a very good vocal, far far better than we’ve heard before. But you sang it like an actress so I didn’t quite get what I wanted out of it.

Dannii: Can I just say that was just sensational. I want to thank Cheryl for her comments last week. You cannot fault that performance.
