The Risk had a very tough week this week with the lost of one member of the band. However, they took to the X Factor stage tonight, with a changed line-up and impressed with a Michael Jackson classic.
The four piece boyband lost Ashley during the week, after he decided he no longer wanted to be in a boyband. He was replaced by Ashford Jones from Nu Vibe at the last minute.
The boys performed together for the first time tonight taking on Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Not a bad performance given the circumstance and they even through in a bit of dancing for the first time.
Judges Comments:
Louis Walsh: Guys, it’s a tough song to sing, I always loved The Risk, I think you’re a better vocal harmony band. Welcome back Ashford, you fit in perfectly. Ashley did the right thing, guys I see something special here…you’ve got it!
Tulisa Contostavlos: Gary is so right, you could have given up but you have fought your way through this week. I saw your faces when you got the news, it was totally out of the blue. But you made your decision, you brought Ashford back and you completely smashed it tonight.

Alexandra Burke: What a fantastic opening to the show. With you being a new member, I think you need to find that balance of being a bit more organic. But I love the fact that you guys are a great vocal group but what you also have to think about is that there are great bands out there like JLS and The Wanted, One Direction, find where you guys sit because you are unique. Find that, keep it, own it.
Gary Barlow: Guys I’ve always really liked you, now I really, really like you. Ashford, you’ve slotted right in. I’ve been right there where you are right now, in 1995 Take That, right before big tour one of our band members left and at that point you make a choice you lie down and lose or get up fighting like you’ve done tonight. Well done. |
