I think you can't tell whether any of them (with the exception of Jonathan) can sing - he is so loud in the mix that it is impossible to hear what the other three are doing. Jonathan undoubtedly has a really great voice - I'd love to hear more of the others, so I could actually judge them! Whenever I've heard them doing harmonies, they have sounded quite dodgy, especially tuning-wise.

Well, I love G4 and thought their rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" was great, despite poor Jonathan losing his voice halfway through it!
And by the way, the song has nothing to do with Liverpool at all. It's a Rogers and Hammerstein song from that great 1940s musical, "Carousel." IMO it was Liverpool that highjacked it and ruined it!

80'smum i do relaise that, and love the original version which is somewhere at my mums house.

but livepool fans have adopted it as their 'song' and to many of the younger generation that song means liverpool fc.

80sMum · 28/11/2004 14:12

That's OK then! . I loved the Gordon McCrae/Shirley Jones version that my mum and dad had!

tiredemma · 28/11/2004 14:15

i think they are awful and odd looking, laughed earlier this week when some tv critic said that the one with the thick eyebrows looked like stelios from easyjet, the tall thin one looked like tony blair and the chubby one looked like jono coleman!
sorry all those that like them, i just dont get it- i think that jonathan is the only one with anything about him.

emmatmg · 28/11/2004 15:14

There is only one word to describe G4.

shite!

emmatmg · 28/11/2004 15:17

Jt, 'listen' to Steve all night?

There's something else I'd much rather do

80sMum · 28/11/2004 17:17

There's nothing distinctive about Steve. G4 are great singers. They're the only ones whose CD I might buy. If you heard Steve on the radio, would you know it was him? There's nothing special about him.

Gobbledigook · 28/11/2004 17:19

LOL Emma!

emmatmg · 28/11/2004 17:29

Oh I agree 80'smum. Steve isn't a very distinctive singer and it's highly unlikey I'd buy his CD but he is very pleasing on the eye.

G4 on the other hand are a bunch of ugly, odd sounding teenage (ok maybe not but not far off) barber shop singers!

I just can't understand how they are still in it. They are just wierd!

emmatmg · 28/11/2004 17:31

Thanks GDK, I admit I chuckled at my comment too

tammybear · 28/11/2004 17:32

i think the main singer of G4's kinda cute. The blondie And I think they would be really good if they did songs that suited them better, like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody or classical stuff. I do think they will go next week though. I dont think Steve is as sexy as everyone on here thinks he is. Kinda cute i suppose, but maybe its just cos he's a bit too old for me

covers her head with her arms before mumsnetters start chucking stuff at her

emmatmg · 28/11/2004 18:25

No that fine Tammy, all the more for me as he's just the right age for me

Pity he's married really isn't it?

tammybear · 28/11/2004 18:31

emmatmg, maybe you should be the one covering your head with your arms before a fight starts over him

ill settle for johnny boy from G4 then

Eowyn · 28/11/2004 19:33

Ok I'll be one of the few who thinks G4 are totally totally fantastic...compared to the rest of them anyway. Queen stuff suits them so well. Haven't voted yet...only time I have ever voted in anything was to stop Gareth Gates t'other year.
I do like opera, maybe that's a factor.
I assume from the comments on here they'll be out next.
Thought Tabby was pretty crap this week.

PotPourri · 29/11/2004 15:03

I think G4 are just plain weird. But for the first time, when they did the Queen song, I thought they were actually quite good, and didn't cringe while listening to them. My nephew (aged 8) put down his McFlurry and said to his gran - 'Gran, have you got any ear plugs' when they sang never walk alone though - obviously not impressed.

The Queen song showed how amazing Freddy Mercury really was, as there is no doubt these 4 boys can sing - but I'm just not convinced that Pop is their genre IYSWIM

Lorraine Kelly on this morning asked Louis Walsh outright if it was a fix that there was one act from each group through, and when he looked outraged she just shrugged and said ' come on, it's a bit convenient'. Hear hear I say. It's a fix.

My prediction is (i.e. my view of the fixed result): Steve is going to win, and Tabby will have a good career on his own, steve will fade away as they all do (David Sneddon, Alex Parks....who???). G4 will probably split up and that blond one will make a career a la Russell Watson. The others will disappear.

Will still watch it, but won't be throwing away any pennies on the voting.

crunchie · 29/11/2004 15:05

Memememememememe I think they are great

tortoiseshell · 29/11/2004 15:48

I think there could be a reason for the way they each have 1 act left - people are actually voting for the judges. Just too much of a coincidence otherwise. Louis is the most unpopular judge, hence his acts were first to be pitted against each other. Then, once he was down to 1 act, 100% of his fans voted for G4, so they were safe, because Sharon and Simon's votes were split between their two acts. Next in popularity is Sharon, so her two acts were against each other. Again, once Cassie had gone, Tabby got 100% of Sharon's vote. So this week, I bet Steve and Rowetta were the bottom two. So it seems that Steve should win, followed by Tabby and then G4.

mumtochloe · 01/12/2004 09:48

Probably not a popular opinion but Steve grins too much and G4 are just plain shite. Tabby to win!!! (and I was rooting for Tabby even when everyone else was still in the competition). I think he's fab!

skiingmummy · 01/12/2004 09:55

Tortoiseshell thats a wicked argument and it all makes total total sense now!!

I hope Steve doesn't win coz hes got the most annoying grimacing face when he sings, with screwed up eyes and everything - almost as if hes in labour.

Tabby to win!! Hes gorgeous and sang a Bon Jovi song so hes gotta be the winner!

5goldendillydallys · 03/12/2004 14:10

I saw pics of Steve cuddling up to Tina hobley in a scurrilous gossip mag and he has nice girlfriend.
It must be true it was in the papers.

tammyBEARinggifts · 03/12/2004 14:11

i think when rowetta left, it was the first time i had ever seen steve not grinning! just thought id comment on it

5goldendillydallys · 03/12/2004 14:13

Are suggesting a flingette betwixt the two?
