Olly Murs – X Factor Live Show 1

Olly Murs was the third contestant to perform on the X Factor live show last night, singing Robbie Williams' hit “She's the One” (which was originally written by Karl Wallinger of World Party - Robbie's hit was actually a cover – not a lot of people know that!)

Olly is quite like Robbie in many ways. He's got a bit of a cheeky chappie way about him and he's great with the audience, a natural entertainer in fact. At his audition, and then again at boot camp, he had no problem getting the crowd on his side.


Last night's X Factor live performance had the same quality. Starting off mellow and then taking things up a gear, Olly Murs showed off a couple of his trademark dance moves (which the audience have now come to know and love) while giving a solid vocal performance too.

The judges were all very positive. Danii Minogue said that everyone wanted to be his friend (including Robbie!), Cheryl Cole said that he was a really nice, genuine guy and Simon Cowell also compared Olly to Robbie Williams, saying they both had the same sort of humility and charm about them.

So, Olly Murs looks safe for tomorrow's first vote off and will probably sail through to the next round of the X Factor without any problems.
