Favourite TV songing competition performances

[Nancy]

This is my all time favourite with not just one key change, but TWO.

And it's a dance track, the type of which rarely get performed on this type of show.

Saw her singing live this weekend and she didn't even perform this masterpiece. Fuming.

Always quite partial to this

I forgot all about this, but remember at the time
this being a moment. I don’t understand how she didn’t win that season?

 

[Pipo]

I always come back to this one

 

[Rita]

Cher Lloyd was the same season as One Direction and they didn’t win either!!!

Adam Lambert was one of the best I ever remember but I can’t remember what his best performance was so here is ALL OF THEM.

As exciting as X Factor and its drama and Dannii's dresses was, it never quite matched early American Idol purely in terms of raw talAnt.

 

[Lucille]

The wide-on I had for this FREAK!

This Nancy (or was she a Maria?) has lived rent-free in my brain for years

 

[Lucille]

Does this count?

I don’t think X Factor was ever about the TALANT.

 

[Rita]

It really was such an ICONIC tv show in its prime though.

Problematic fave Polina:

How Elkie Brooks went home on this performance is beyond me. One of the few times I've seen someone cover a song on a singing competition and really make it 100% their own.
