Paul Akister sings 'Don't Stop Me Now' on The X Factor UK 2014 (VIDEO)

Paul Akister sang 'Don't Stop Me Now' on The X Factor UK Live Show 5 on November 8, 2014.

I love Paul's voice, but I thought this was completely the wrong song for him. Or rather, the wrong arrangement. 'Don't Stop Me Now' is one of those songs that can't really be updated into a modern context, in my opinion, since it's such a product of its era. Sure, you can make it more retro like the Foxes version on Doctor Who. But to modernize it like that just didn't work. I almost feel like Mel B was so impressed that Paul was able to pull off Meat Loaf last week that she gave him a similarly dull, cheesy pick. And I say that as someone who absolutely adores 'Don't Stop Me Now'. It's a great song, but I really wish people would stop doing this song on this show. I'm worried for Paul this week.

But what do you think of Paul Akister?
