X Factor - Danyl Johnson, Joe McElderry, Olly Murs, and Stacey Solomon in the Final Four

He had a good run, but it's unlikely there were too many tears shed for Lloyd Daniels heading out from X Factor this week. The show is now down to a final four that to my eyes and ears are definitely the four best competitors of the entire season. Each has vulnerabilities as well. Danyl Johnson could oversing in a histrionic performance that turns the audience at home off. Joe McElderry has aired some concerns about his ability to hit big notes. If that happens, he could be vulnerable. Olly Murs risks at times coming off as old-fashioned with his dance steps and physical humor. Stacey Solomon still seems unable to move about comfortably on stage lending a certain stiffness at times to her performance. There is no clear bottom performer to eliminate next week so the drama is likely to be at a fever pitch. Next week the guest performances will be big as Janet Jackson and Lady Gaga take the stage. The blockbuster season of X Factor continues.
