A positive for Lucie Jones?
Lucie Jones is as low as 7-2 to win X Factor and we’re far keener to keep her on side than Danyl Johnson. Anyone who saw last weekend’s Boot Camp cannot have been impressed by the horrendous job Johnson made of singing Simply Red’s ‘Holding Back The Years’. And even worse was his desperate pleading to make the last 12.
We don’t think he’s as great as his initial billing (by Cowell) and expect the scales to slowly fall from viewers’ eyes.
While we remain dubious about Johnson, 18-year-old Lucie is already being lined up to star opposite Michael Sheen in a new movie, and has been linked to a number of high profile West End musical roles: http://bit.ly/4uWS2s
Whether this sort of interest proves a positive for Lucie’s X Factor hopes we’re not entirely sure, but what is for certain is this young Welsh lass has a beguiling voice, and given the choice of these two 9-2 shots, it has to be Lucie all the way.
