Last night (Oct. 23) Canadian singer Shawn Mendes and American singer John Legend were the guest stars on the latest results show episode of Season 13 of “The X Factor UK” on ITV 1.

Shawn Mendes and his piano performed the ballad “Mercy” from the album “Illuminate” while Mr. Legend, who looked real nice in his dark blue suit, performed with the help of a big band his new single “Love Me Now”.

Without a doubt Shawn’s performance was my favorite of the two, for he not only served some raw vocals, but he got me to feel goosebumps from the very first second. In contrast, John’s performance seemed a bit awkward. I have the impression he wasn’t 100% comfortable on that stage and that he didn’t know what to do. He’s so used to performing shows playing his piano that now that this new single requires him not to use it he looks a bit lost. Besides, “Love Me Now”, although being a pretty ballad, still doesn’t convince me as a smart lead single from John’s fifth album. Can’t believe his label OK’ed this when it’s by far John’s weakest single ever

Favorite performance?
