Precisely. Rebecca and Matt are far better but the band is Simon's, he is due a win and a band has not one yet!

[mockney piers]

Yep, have been predicting a win for them for some time now too.

Matt the best of a mediocre bunch, though better than last year's crop.

Watched it last night filled with ennui, but still watched it mind.

[daizie]

Its the cringey arse licky answers the contestants give when Dermot asks 'how was it for you' id like to give him a right hook

[mockney piers]

And what's up with Rebecca.

I like her, she nice and she's pretty and she's a voice that could really be a bit special.

But her best song so far was her first audition and it's gone downhill since.

And every week, blah blah Liverpool, blah blah recording voice blah yawn.

And she's given tedious arrangements of songs that don't quite fit.

Last nights' was awful, why the ovation, a complete mystery unless the recording contract is already in the bag and it's just a ploy to get us all to believe it's not the emperors new clothes prior to album number uno.

Aaaandddd breeeeeaaatheee......

[daizie]

..and simon cowel is just smarmy and so obviously fake now. Very irritating when he chews or pretends to when speaking

[Narnia]

How was MarY? The Irish economy is hoping for a boost. Only asking as I don't watch it.

[daizie]

Better to listen to it and not watch it . Crrrrrrringe at Katie singing 'sex is on fire' with added bits

[Keef]

I actually quite liked the arrangement of Satisfaction, but I dont really go along with everyone saying Rebecca has a great voice. It's not a bad voice, but it's nothing overly special. Matt is easily the not talented, but even he is rubbish when singing some of the shite they've chosen for him.

[daizie]

I wonder if it is finally dawning on Vagner that he is there as the token clown

[daizie]

You can tell he dont change his pants in real life lol

[mockney piers]

Yeah the motownesque arrangement was okay, but her performance was flat as a pancake.

It is an interesting voice, but it's not a belter. She's better suited to a smokey jazz club than attempting to make her be the next Duffy or more realistically, SuBo.

[DJKillaQueen]

That's a bit harsh I think. Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald...both very shy. Rebecca is young. Give her a year or two and she'll be up there.

[????]

...with Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald???!!!

[DJKillaQueen]

It takes a lifetime to get that kind of status, but I think it's possible for her, with the right management.

[Keef]

And the right voice, which she hasn't got.

[DJKillaQueen]

I disagree..... I love her voice.

[mockney piers]

Billie Holiday she ain't.

The shyness isn't a problem in the real world, only in xfactorjudgingland. Same way that getting rid of aiden's introverted intense feeling for music made him an insipid cross between a karaoke singer and Larry the lamb.

She's good, just needs a different environment that's all.

[RosieH]

Shyness isn't a problem, but is there any sense of a personality in there anywhere? You know the terrible hackneyed thing they say every week about you know what you'd get if you went to see one of them in concert? I have no freaking clue what I'd get if I went to see her in concert.

She strikes me as Sade-light to sip the pinot grigio to.

[DJKillaQueen]

Again I think that's all because she's young. Forward the clock 20 years, 10 albums later, a string of failed marriages, and the effects of one or two newly acquired habits.....a small venue, piano, double bass...........there'll be bags of personality then.

[mockney piers]

Blimey, we've all something we need to aspire to eh!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Proper stars of the past. Yer bowies, jaggers, sineads. I'm so glad they waited until they were 28 before developing a personality

[RosieH]

Did you hear about the X Factor finalists and the china vase?

They smashed it.

Did you hear about the X Factor finalists and the plank of wood?

They nailed it.

I swear to god - I'm going to be smashing my television if their bloody scriptwriters don't do a better job. Tiny little things that grow into great big things that give you irrational rage.

And what the hell is Bieber?

[mockney piers]

An animatronic foetus in the style of Michael Jackson by the looks of things.

[citizenED]

Right result tonight. Katie ran out of her 9 lives (if you get me); The Wagner train ran out of steam. Next week Cher and Mary will go to leave Matt, Rebecca and OneD to fight it out. Matt will win.
