Fantastic performance from Matt. I think TrayC will go... good voice, but far too arrogant and not different enough. Wagner, oh dear, but I fear the "voting public" (whoever they may be) will keep him in. He is funny, I'll give him that.


Is it wrong to fancy the lead singer from the boyband when I'm well and truly old enough to be his mother?

Matt reminds me of Shane Ward and like him, his appeal will be limited to the uk. Rebecca may well do well internationally. She reminds me of a young Billie Holiday...who also was painfully shy.


Treyc's problem I think is that she doesn't engage with the audience. She's not the only one but with a voice like that she could have a great career if she knew how to 'perform' better. They need to give her a song in which she can get the audience in the studio involved....


For me Beyonces performance of 'If I were a Boy' on the show was the ultimate masterclass on performance. She used the walkway and camera and told a story. Treyc needs to do that instead of singing to 'air'.

DJKQ, Matt reminds me much more of Gary Jules than Shane Ward - altogether different style of music, and one which I think would have more international appeal than a third rate Justin Timberlake.


However, I enjoyed this evening's photo montage of a half-naked Shane Ward immensely.

Is this the way, the music business is heading what happen to the days of being discovered by busking or forming a band at school writing your own songs. I understand things have to move on and maybe this is the only way you can get in the public eye.


But there longevity is very short.

The music business has always had a combination of artists from different platforms. Some bands/ artists are manufactured/ packaged or 'managed', others are their own creation. And the majority of performing artists have never written their own songs.....and that's true for any decade going back as far as you like.

I agree with FT...there are lots of great bands and also lots of great individual performers. And you will see some of them watching X factor, artists like Beyonce and Rihanna.


Ultimately, the truly talentless aside, taste in music and artists is subjective for most people, and generation does come into it too. There is no doubt that Beyonce Knowles is one of the most talented artists ever, and her music is good but her style of music is not for everyone.


It is total snobbery to think that only generic bands that write their own songs and play their own instruments have any value or talent. Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Elvis Presley, I could list hundreds who never wrote a song, but were elevated into greatness because of their vocal talent, and whose music was of it's time.

Very good point DJKQ ,your posts on this thread make a lot of sense. I'm old enough to remember the Beatles on Top of the Pops singing Hey Jude, I must have been about seven at the time but I remember it clearly, not knowing what an iconic moment it was.


Times have changed and we've had generation of 'manufactured bands'. At the end of the day we choose what we buy to listen to. Flippin heck I've recently downloaded Best of Slade onto my I-touch, there's a bit of T Rex in there too; I also have some classical all the way down to Lady GaGA!


It's better Saturday nights' entertainment than Noel's House Party or even The Generation Game! Trust me.


I enjoy X Factor, it is what it is.


Strictly Come Dancing IMO is in a different league!

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
