only one of their members (Almira) consistently delivered vocally, while Celina was the designated rapper. The other two members virtually didn't exist.
To be honest Cheryl wasn't that good of a mentor to them. Simon probably would have done a better job with them in helping them develop more so "individual" identities for the audience to relate to, when in reality they came out looking like four carbon copy clones each week, and some of their song choices were shaky. But regardless, they'll be successful as their Filipino fan base is large enough.
idk, from someone who does not care about x factor and only watched their performances each week i thought their vocals/choreo/formations were on point every week
splozojames50 Not saying their performances weren't good, because their harmonies were generally in unison, and the choreography was good but for groups to succeed on these types of shows, I think the audience needs to be able to relate with and/or distinguish each member of the group. I feel that explains the successes of groups like One Direction, Little Mix, Union J, Fifth Harmony on these types of shows, even though they weren't the best singers. 4th Impact were probably too left-field cute-sy, and way too indistinguishably unitary for the casual UK viewers to pick up their phones and vote. But then again, a group of *8* boys placed 5th last year and negates my entire theory. But then again I don't think a girl group from the Philippines ever had a shot at winning a singing show in the UK.
I agree though, Almira is the only one I knew by name and Celina (because she was ill) I know that's a bad thing to associate her with but I just did, like in Little Mix's year, I knew all their names, it shows that this competition isn't all about vocals only, it's about appeal to personality, being able to sell music in the charts and still compete vocally, something Lauren and Louisa have for me < 3 I like Che and RnB as well tbh it's a great F4, lets take a moment to acknowledge the talent this series haha :D
