Llyod Daniels sings 'I'm Still Standing' on X Factor Live Show 8

Judges comments:

Louis: “Lloyd, round one you kind of won me over, round two the song was called ‘I’m Still Standing’ – you’re just about standing there. It just didn’t look like you were having a good time and it was all a bit karaoke for me, honestly. And it was nice, but we’re not looking for nice anymore, we’re looking for a star.”

Dannii: “Lloyd, lyrically you’re definitely still standing, you’re proving a point there. It was a fantastic production. Vocally, it is still shaky on bits, but it was better than the first song. Much, much better.”

Simon: “God, none of us are in agreement tonight. I didn’t think it was as good as the first song. I thought it was a silly song choice. I think what Cheryl was trying to do with you with the retro routine didn’t suit you, it didn’t suit the song. It was like something from an amateur dramatics production and Cheryl, you’re a popstar. You understand what’s right for the artist and what’s right for the song. I thought that was inappropriate.”

Cheryl: “I also know how tough it is when you’ve been criticised week after week after week to come out and sing. I’m very, very proud of you for coming out and delivering each week when you’ve been criticized so much. So I hope people keep you in.”
