The FOG Factor - Live show

[ShaneU]

My favourite cover of the bunch coming tomorrow

I agree, that's a great one. Needs more support.

The viewing public at home should get out their phones and vote for you, one of the best performances of the competition.

I know right?

I'm being outvoted by a duet with one person and a "live" song with more sound effects added than Jurassic Park

[Spears]

@ShaneU brilliant choice. Love the original song. 

The cover itself got a bit ropey at about the one minute mark, but the voice of your man is great and I liked this cover.

@Wichita Lineman sorry Witchy, but personally I can't tolerate Robbie Williams. 
I did try listen to the song. 
Didn't get far into it, but I did try 


@jp liz v1 intersting choice. something about the song seems off to me. like the song didn't suit both of them. 

that girls voice is amazing, and I feel the song didn't do much for her. Adam Lambert sang great as always, but yeah the song didn't do muchfor him aswel. Still enjoyed the cover though. so i'd have voted for it if I could, just for both the singers voices

MAM - Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah

Aw sorry again Mam, but this song is the same as the Disturbed song for me.

I know it's really popular but I find it sooooo boring. And I'd probably go as far as to say I may even hate it .

At least with the Disturbed song, it bothers me that I don't like it lol

They are hid(ing) away   

It's a great version @ShaneU

[Spears]

[Wichita Lineman]

@Spears Despite the glossy production 'issues' there is no denying that's a great performance so I'd have to give it a thumbs up. 

@ShaneU Sorry, but as much as I really like Ben Howard this one did absolutely nothing for me. 

[Kol]

Just a few hours to vote, this could be the difference in playing live to millions of fans or running the tills at Tesco to someone

[jp liz v1]

Is Mary Byrne still working in Tesco, did she return?

[Leg End Reject]

I must be the worst judge ever, I don't like the 3 contestants songs.

I can place them in order of disliking least for the vote off anyway!
