DOES Ollie do it for you - The X Factor

Green Goddess · 09-11-2009, 03:35

NO
Nice guy shame about the hair, hip thrust and childish behaviour on Xtra tonight hell he did not get a call and then they found one.. shame on you ITV2.... what a farce.

Would I buy a CD no thanks... he is not that remarkable and his voice is not that memorable either.. so if he wins I will not be losing out as I wont be paying out for a CD..

HOWEVER he can dance that much I will give him..

Records are made to be broken...and if I bought Olly's record I'd prove it...

Tigerpaws · 09-11-2009, 04:00

**** NO!

Honestly i don't get the hype one little bit.
He's a bog average singer that would be struggling on a cruise ship.

Green Goddess · 09-11-2009, 04:05

I just dont get the hype.. nice guy.. but hell a great singer.. no.. dance yes he can, but only hip thrusting strutting stuff..sorry not for me at all... and the bookies are loving him.. WHY .. he is just about AVERAGE as a singer...

cutlerette · 09-11-2009, 08:07

Nice guy...cheecky chappy type...but now I'm beginning to wonder why he hasn't taken any flack over sticking to the same song types like others are getting.

Surely Louis should be pointing out he's a one trick pony and needs to do a ballad/rock song/opera.

Its a case of fair enough voice, nice personality, good showmanship. A little like Ray Quinn........and we all know what Simon did to him

Menk · 09-11-2009, 08:12

Clever crowd-pleaser songs have done the work for him so far. He's not dull, but I don't mind when he leaves - he would not be a good choice of winner.

simbarro · 09-11-2009, 08:29

Nope. Average singer, awful dancer.

alves · 09-11-2009, 08:30

He'll be doing social clubs as a Robbie Williams tribute act in a few years time.

rufusrufus · 09-11-2009, 08:44

Not bad on Saturday but he's not winner material.

Queen Maeve · 09-11-2009, 08:47

He seems to be topping loads of polls, so he's obviously 'doing it' for people out there..not my cuppa tea though..I just cann't imagine his album.

chavet · 09-11-2009, 09:03

No. I'm afraid of people who move their crotch too much.

dwiseman · 09-11-2009, 09:08

No way.. just cant see it at all in any way shape or form! He just seems very cheesy to me.

mousy · 09-11-2009, 09:09

nooooooooooooooooooooo looks wise alone he is so ugly (imo)..such a weird head

noorani · 09-11-2009, 09:11

Out of all of Simon's three acts, if Olly was on a tv show I could sit and watch him, and probably be entertained by him. But as a choice for the x factor winner, I would say no, he doesn't do it for me.

I can see Danyl possibly winning this now, which really wouldn't do it for me at all.

M. Tourette · 09-11-2009, 09:20

Oh alright you forced me to say it

I like Olly... ok?

I think as an entertainer who can sing he has got the X factor out of all of them whereas the others can only sing and don't register as being a personality.
I doubt he will win because he is not bland enough for a majority decision but I like him.

RAINBOWGIRL22 · 09-11-2009, 09:26

Olly does absolutely nothing for me!!!

I don't think he is all that - he seems a nice enough guy though! I can picture him doing some work for GMTV (ala Jeff Brazier) as he has that 'cheeky chappie' thing going on BUT he is not the XF winner IMO.

sarahcs · 09-11-2009, 09:29

I think he's the best singer out of who's left. But his hair scares me.

piamaria · 09-11-2009, 09:34

Yes

I lurves him

Glorfindel · 09-11-2009, 09:37

It's weird, I LOVED his first audition...but since then he seems to be morphing into this slightly alarming cruise-ship singer.

MrsSpoon · 09-11-2009, 09:38

Olly is getting a bit samish each week now and I am not keen on his hip thrust moves either. He was at his best on Big Band week in my opinion.

shymike · 09-11-2009, 09:58

No do not get olly - likeable bloke but average singer, poor dancer, v average looks with awful hair - cruise ship singer

cuza · 09-11-2009, 10:03

He does nothing for me either. And I did wonder if the call he got on the Xtra Factor was from one of the production team just to keep him happy.

Lizzy11268 · 09-11-2009, 10:13

Love him.

Whats not to love? He tootles along, doing his thing, is always genuinely pleased by the reaction he gets, he has no or at least very little negative publicity, and is obviously to me anyway, a good bloke.

Add on to that, he is a good singer if not the best and I love his wonderful dance moves.

Anyone who doesnt like Olly, even if they are not keen on his voice/performance style, must be missing some kind of gene.

Genuinely lovely people with no hidden agenda are quite hard to find in the context of showbusiness. Well done Olly.

Hogzilla · 09-11-2009, 10:14

Nah. The Frankenstein's Monster hairline frightens me.

I think he's way ahead of most of the others but the other 2 in his category are probably the best singers in the competition, and also more fun to watch perform so he's always going to be overshadowed no matter how hard Cowell pushes him.

Agent Krycek · 09-11-2009, 10:15

Don't get it either, seems a nice enough bloke but very average voice and seems quite limited as well, very average with no obvious 'X Factor' - bascially a dime a dozen singer, but seems like a decent person though.
