x factor boot camp matt cardle best performance

well on the x factor boot camp last night there was some very good performances and who might be going to the x factor finals this year is starting to come into view, the most obvious and best of last nights boot camp auditions was matt cardle who stunned the judges with his performance of the song "the first time ever i saw your face".

this is one of those best audition type moments you get with the x factor, there probably has not been as many as last years x factor but that could be that the acts are still warming up, as matt cardle was a surprise for the x factor judges at the boot camp stage of the competition.

matt cardle sings "the first time ever i saw your face".



some of the other acts that look like they will be going to the judges houses so far after there boot camp auditions are liam payne, storm lee, cher lloyd and tom richard, there are others but there a few early x factor predictions of some of the acts who might get to judges houses.

matt cardle after his performance at boot camp looks guaranteed to get to the judges houses and i think the finals of x factor 2010 competition.

these are the lyrics to "the first time ever i saw your face"

"The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
your face, your face".

really nice song, tonight is the next part of the x factor boot camp with the final 32 acts being chosen to go to the judges houses, nicole scherzinger stands in for cheryl cole who i think returns at the judges houses part of the x factor series which will be next week, and also i think dannii minogue returns to the x factor series next week as well at the judges houses.

so do not miss tonight's sunday edition of the x factor with the final selection of acts done at boot camp this will be a really good edition of x factor to see who gets through at this stage, and i think also which judge gets which categories.

pixie lott nicole scherzinger geri halliwell x factor 2010 audition judges

i liked last weeks x factor 2010 auditions show with new judge geri halliwell, though it did get a lot of bad press i thought it had a good mix of interesting singers.

it will be interesting as well to see what this weeks x factor auditions show holds tomorrow night on saturday, last week geri halliwell got a bit of stick for talking too much on last weeks show of the x factor.

i think geri did not realise she was taking up too much time by over talking to the acts, but the reason being the judges on x factor try to keep it short and sweet when talking to the acts as time is of the essence when trying to get as many auditions in as possible.

but it was geri halliwells first x factor 2010 audition show so she probably just needed to be cut some slack until she got used to the programming and how the x factor talent show is run and to what format.

geri halliwell was replacing dannii minogue who was on maternity leave fr the start of x factor 2010, but dannii minogue is set to return in the later stages of this years x factor 2010 though.

dannii minogue has been told she might not be in x factor 2011, due to the managers of x factor not happy with dannii minogue taking the full season of x factor 2010 out with maternity leave, but dannii wanted to just take out the start and said she would do the final live final stages of the x factor 2010.

so managers of the x factor tv show have said they might drop dannii minogue from the x factor 2011 next year, i think though this is harsh and would seem to be unfair against pregnant women.

but look for dannie minogue to return in the later stages of x factor 2010, but for the first stages of the x factor talent show you will get various guest celebrity judges like pixie lott in the audition stages of x factor 2010, and nicole scherzinger.

so look out for a changing judging line up on this years x factor as well as regulars loius walsh, simon cowell and cheryl cole.
