Jamie Archer strolled onstage for his first X Factor live appearance, to perform T-Rex's "Get it On" with a "live" rock band behind him - something you don't often see on the X Factor. Not sure if the band were really playing their instruments though or if they were just being used as props. Probably the latter.
Like most of the contestants who had appeared before him (Jamie was seventh on the bill), Jamie got off to a little bit of a shaky start as his voice took a couple of lines to really settle, but that's understandable and forgivable in the circumstances (this is after all a live show in front of a theatre audience of thousands and a television audience of millions).
By the second verse of the song however, Jamie Afro was in a class of his own. He was the first contestant on the show to really take their song by the scruff of the neck and make it their own. It was a truly formidable performance and one that is virtually guaranteed to get him through to the next round.
The X Factor judges agreed that Jamie gave a great performance, although Louis Walsh said he would like to see more versatility from him on future shows.
Jamie Archer is one of the hot favorites to win the X Factor and tonight's performance showed why.
