Thanks, but I have trouble to understand this... What's a montagne russe? And which "he" refers to Naip and which to Mika? Mika feels like being tied up with Scotch tape because Naip works hard?

"Montagne russe" is rollercoaster in Italian. Mika is tied up with Scotch tape while going down and up with the rollercoaster so he is not able to run away.

I liked how Mika described his relation with NAIP after his second performance  

Me too.

I guess when Mika would have a "normal" contestant and not the rollercoaster-feeling he would be bored.

Honestly, yesterday wasn't my day until the evening. Mika and Naip literally saved my day. Thank you Mika and Naip.

Now after I finished to watch the semifinal, I can say that I liked NAIP's second performance even more than the one with Elio. Yes, he and Elio are matching perfectly, but the cover of Afterhours was so emotional and well done, the face of Manuel says all 

Also the second performance of the LPOM was kind of nice and different from what they did until now, but still I don't think I would ever want to go to one of their gigs. I mean I love rock, but I can't listen to them more than one song ( not even one till the end ), all of them seems the same to my ears ( moreover a constant audio-aggression). I'm aware that it's about individual taste here and that they are talented, it's just not my taste 

I loved the all beard scenario, it brought a funny mood in this serious tension and Mika confirmed again that he is a brilliant entertainer 

EDIT: you can watch it here: https://yadi.sk/d/gnosejkivYb4gQ/XF14.2020.Live.06.720p.HDTV.AC3.iTALiAN.x264-SpyRo.mkv?w=1

Thank you for the link, I'm looking forward to watch it.

I didn't wake up with a beard today morning. Have I now to worry that Naip didn't have enough influence on me?

2 minutes ago, krysady said:

You were right, I will never do that again 

I didn't mean especially you.

However, I think that Mika really did the best with the team he had.

Now, he definitely has nothing to lose, only to win.

So every judge has a candidate, that's actually fair.

NAIP is in the finale!! 

 

The judge with the weakest team has a person in the finale. Never underestimate Mika.

Me too! And what's strange is that he doesn't look so awful with that beard 

Yes, it's true. I'm sure I would need to get used to it but why not? It would be something new.

Anyway, Mika has a beautiful face, nothing can change that.

Now, I have something to laugh for the rest of the week.

I was looking forward for Naip's performance with Elio, now I really want to see it.

One NAIP... Two NAIPs... Three NAIPs !!!!!!!!

I adore it.

And now we have pistachio.

You're right, and I find the second song even more risky... but let's hope that the audience will truly appreciate his charisma and vote for him. Like Anna said, it's a miracle that he got till the semifinals anyway, from now on every step is a bonus 

Yes, let's hope that he'll go to the finals. Anyway, he has some fans otherwise he would have ended up in the ballotage in the second round last week and he didn't.

I'm really looking forward for N.A.I.P.'s performance with Elio. I think they fit well. I like Elio and I adored his performance in a dress with Mika at Casa Mika.

The thing is that he was irritated right from the beginning. After the performance of the Little Pieces he started to argue with Mika, then with Manuelito, then again after My Drama's performance when he contradicted Manuelito about the use of autotune, then again with Mika after Naip's performance, and so on... and finally when he heard that Melancholia will go to ballotage, he blamed Mika for that. So he seemed to be in a frustrated mood for the entire episode 

 

Yes, you're probably right, it was just not his day/evening.

La Melancholia for sure has a big fanbase and this is so strange that more people voted for NAIP than for them after the TILT.

Maybe Melancholia's fanbase was not strong enough to bit all the other people that normally vote for someone else but voted now for NAIP as only these two were available to vote for?

10 hours ago, krysady said:

I've been watching again Melancholia singing Bjork, she was so out of tune while screaming, maybe that's why people didn't vote for them this time... at least this is what I read on Twitter  

I also had the impression she didn't hit all notes but wasn't sure if I just thought this because she sang in a really special way (I watched it after I knew that Melancholia were eliminated so I guess I took more attention to their performance). And if I remember it right, Mika also said after their performance something like that not all notes were there where they sould be.

I read in the social media that people are complaining about the second voting. It seems they were not able to vote because they had a notion " "Error" while choosing La Melancholia. . Well, maybe so many fans were voting for them that they blown up the system ?

It would be sad to know that NAIP won just because of the system problems. But on the other hand the result is really unexpected!

I really hope that there wasn't a mistake and NAIP could only continue because of that. Maybe, where Melancholia live they have a lot of fans so that there it wasn't possible to vote for Melancholia because the system was overloaded?

Just finished to watch the last episode, I've been also shocked yesterday when I found out that Melancholia is out but had no idea that the ballotage was against NAIP. In a way I'm glad that NAIP is saved even if I'm sorry for Melancholia... there were others who could left before them.

To be honest I didn't liked their performance this time, her voice was so strident and disturbing, Mika was totally right with his judgement. That song was not the best choice for them. Unlike the song they performed during the Hot Factor, that was absolutely awesome! That should have been their first song, what a huge mistake! 

Also Mika was right about Casadilego, and I'm impressed by his ability to feel such subtle things like the personal reasons behind her choice of the song. It was a flawless performance as always, but she did it more for herself than for the audience. 

Now I think it is the first time when I see Manuel so angry and aggressive, especially towards Mika, and it was not nice at all   Blaming Mika for Melancholia's elimination was a nonsense, really 

Anyway, it was clear that Mika an Naip were prepared for the worst and couldn't believe the result, and I liked a lot Manuelito for asking people to vote for Naip to bring him to the finale 

 

 

 

I also didn't like very much the performance of Melancholia this time and I agree with you that this was not the best song for them. I also agree that they are strong and others should have left the show before them. However, this kind of show has his own rules. I guess Manuel was really frustrated because of Melancholia's elimination like Emma last week after Blue Phelix's elimination (I'm really glad we had the old Emma back this week ). And like Emma he also thinks that is a tactique of Mika to make their performance bad so that his contestant can win, what is of course not true.

I think the reason why NAIP ended up in ballotage is because his songs are the best when he performances them live and with the streaming you can't see him. I think after X factor he should focus on live performances (of course when they are possible again). And yes, it's only thanks to Manuelito that NAIP is still there. If he wouldn't have voted against Melancholia, there wouldn't have been a "tilt" and Naip would have been out. Fingers crossed for Naip's performance next week.

With Casadilego, I had the same sensation like Mika. Her voice was beautiful, but I had the feeling that she closed up and didn't let us really enter into her heart.

I'm shocked that "I Melancolia" were eliminated yesterday evening.

What are the rules for the next Live, does it change every time?! Why is there a risk that Naip can't perform his song? He sounded awesome in yesterday's rehearsal, I want to hear it!!

I don't think that NAIP will have the fewest calls after the first round. He is the only one of the participants that does what he does, so I guess that he has his fanbase. I don't think though that he will win X Factor, but I think that he will survive this live. I would be more worry that Vergo has to leave the first round, if he didn't have his song "Bomba". In my opinion, Blue Phelix has to leave in the first round and in the second round Little Pieces of Marmelade or maybe Cmqmartina, but of course these are only speculations.

Totally agree! I don't see any sense in singing the same song again and again. Moreover, it seems to me that most of the contestants have grown over their First Song. Really, maybe it fitted them in the beginning, but they are at XF to get better and more mature! For example Vergo, Bomba is so stale already.

I think it's good that they can sing their own songs more times, so the public can better memorize it, contestants didn't have this possibilty at the past X factor seasons (they could just sing their songs at the live shows once if I remember it correctly). That will be better for their career afterwards, when they are eliminated soon or in any case I guess.

When I use those other smileys, I post them from my phone keyboard, for example: 😁🐊🍗

I see, I guess it's high time that I start using the MFC forum also with my mobile phone and not only my laptop, thanks.

Thank you@mellodyand @dcdebfor the explications. It just my caught my attention because people are using smileys that I don't have, also new members that I don't think that they did the effort to copy them from somewhere else. I don't have almost no static yellow smileys or e.g. food or drink smileys, is that normal? The new ones I have and I like them a lot.

Just to be sure, I put here all smileys that I can select from. Can you tell me, if these are all smileys that I should have? Thank you.

That's it.
