Nonetheless, we applaud his attempt to show originality and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>In his video diary during the week the 19 year old was concerned that one judge in particular \u2013 Cheryl Cole \u2013 might not get it. He said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday we are routining songs for this weekend. I\u2019m really excited about week four. I\u2019ve been offered the most massivest song ever. In the world. So I\u2019m really excited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt might be another intense one, so Cheryl Cole might not be happy. And I might bust out one dance move at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is what the judges had to say on the night:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Louis Walsh<\/strong>: A big challenge. Dannii you gave him a really really big challenge giving him a Michael Jackson song. You totally changed the song, it was a very very intense performance. It might not be everybody\u2019s cup of tea but I really like it. I think you are a genuine, real music artist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dannii Minogue:<\/strong> Aiden, Halloween is here. You did everything that was asked of you. I don\u2019t think people give you enough credit. You are 18 years old and you have grown so much since your first performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheryl Cole:<\/strong> It was a really brave thing to do, to take such an iconic song that everyone associates definitely with the Halloween theme and with a massive dance production. I can\u2019t work out in my mind if that was really right or really wrong. I don\u2019t think every song requires that amount of intensity; I would like to see you smile a little bit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simon Cowell<\/strong>: It was bizarre, you and 25 dummies on stage. My feeling is, I think it needed to pickup tempo much sooner. I think it was indulgent, even though some people will like it, it was too much to the left. It\u2019s frustrating because it could have been fantastic but it was too slow, too long.<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* middle blog 2 468x60, created 9\/10\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"1963694971\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"580\" height=\"390\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/W3J6AwSXfkE&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;version=3\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* blogsmalllink 468x15, created 6\/7\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"6221751502\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 15;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aiden Grimshaw put his own stamp on the Michael Jackson\u2019s classic song Thriller on Saturday that saw mixed reviews from the judges.
