'Maybe it was something I ate?' Janet Devlin forgets her lyrics on X Factor, blaming the temporary amnesia on the urge to throw-up



The X Factor nearly turned into a gruesome saga as Janet Devlin thought she was going to throw up onstage.
During the first song Guilty Pleasures round, the Irish teenager sang looked uncomfortable as she battled to remember the lyrics to Hanson's anthemic pop song MMMBop.
After receiving criticism from the judges, the 16-year-old blamed the mishap on 'something I ate'.

Louis Walsh quizzed Janet, saying: 'Did you forget the words? You kind of messed up, but at least you carried on. It wasn't great, but I believe in you.'

 

Tulisa Contostavlos agreed, adding: 'You look upset, maybe the nerves took over? I found it quite mediocre. I know you're capable of more.'
Brutally honest Gary Barlow slated the performance, quipping: 'It was a real mess. For the second time, you've forgotten the words. You are not a groove vocalist, you shouldn't be singing that.

Even Kelly struggled to find a compliment, saying: 'There's always the second song. You're a fighter, remember that.'
When Dermot pushed on a reason for the temporary amnesia, Devlin said: 'It's not my fault if I feel like I'm going to throw up. Maybe it was something I ate.'
Janet originally forgot the words to her song earlier this month, during a version of Jackson 5 song I Want You Back.

Her second song for the Musical Heroes genre, Under The Bridge by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, was marginally better, yet Gary still accused her of not having a good night.
However, he backtracked a little by offering his congratulations, saying: 'You've completely ignored me when I said you were predictable and been yourself, ultimately we're looking for someone who is their own person.'
Little Mix opened the show with a mash-up of Justin Bieber's Baby and The Supremes track Where Did Our Love Go, set against the backdrop of a fifties diner.

Dressed in tutu skirts galore and an explosion of candyfloss colours, the girls put on a spectacle, but as a result the judges thought their vocals were lacking.
Louis said: 'I thought last week you were incredible, but this was a little lacklustre. You need to pull something more about the bag if you want to stay. A little bit of girl power! I want them in the final, I just think they can do better.
Kelly, the only judge to still have three of her acts in the competition, said: 'I felt like some of you were concentrating too much about the dance steps. It would have been great to hear Jesy beatbox more. You need to nail it.

Gary credited the strength of their success on their relationship instead of the music, adding: 'You have friendship and it's a real key ingredient for a successful band.'

Louis gushed 'thank God you're still in the competition', while Tulisa added: 'There is not one bad thing I have to say about that performance. This is the Misha B we know. I love the moves, I love the rap.'

Take That star Barlow even went so far as to say he would buy her album, adding: 'It's not you trying to win votes, trying to please people... it's you thinking of 2012 when you are finally unleashed on the public and I'll be there waiting to buy an album.'
Her second song, seventies track Killing Me Softly that gave The Fugees a UK No1 hit in 1996, caused Tulisa to gush: 'This is the best week you've ever had. A double whammy!'
Marcus paid tribute to George Michael, who is currently suffering from pneumonia and has cancelled the remaining dates of his tour.

Trying to inject a little bit of humour, Gary said: 'My only negative, you came into my dressing room and said "I'm happy to be in the last five", but that's not enough. You could win this competition!'
Wowing judges with his second song, Lately by Stevie Wonder, Louis said he was 'versatile', while Gary called it 'sensational'.
Wrongly or rightly, Tulisa drudged up his personal antics, adding: 'That was emotional. I know you'd never ask for the sympathy vote, but you've had a tough life and deserve to be on this stage.'

Tulisa also offered some generous words, adding: 'What a beautiful vocal. You get lost in the music, your face is like it's in a music video.'
