I know, ihateit ihateit ihateit. But sucked in again....wwwwaaahhhh!!!!


What was Louis thinking bringing in crazy lady, and why did she leave?


And the wee little norn irish girl. The last thing in the world that she needs is a record contract with Siom Cowell's putrid dross producing record label. I was really hoping, for her own sake, that she wouldn't make it through!!

Crazy woman left because she didn't want to be another Wagner apparently (I saw it on the interweb somewhere, please note, not in Heat magazine).


What I hate about this programme is the idea that this is all they have in the world. Music is their WHOLE LIFE, but they've never written a song, or sung live, or joined a band in their WHOLE LIVES, but it's everything, it really, truly is. And that their day jobs at which they work hard (or don't) are meaningless and somehow demeaning, whereas pawning their ass for a set of new teeth and the chance to be found wanting by 8 million people every week is an uplifting life chance. Wake up suckers, you could be the next Joe McElderry.


Anyway, as I say, I'm looking forward to the live rounds. Especially now Dr Who has finished.

It's reflective of the desperate situation that the youth of today & conversely the ageing wannabes find them selves in.

Desperation and fear reads large in the eyes of the contestants.


" I don't wanna go back to where I've come from " ( the biscuit factory, care home, my old life )


" I want new teeth/exploiting/obscurity "


" I wanna be anything but nothing "


Which is why I'm compelled to observe this exercise from N-Z (nadir to zenith)



Nette:)

I don't think I've ever got as worked up over X Factor as I did last night. Louis Walsh, honestly. And Sinitta, why oh why is she on the show every year as an "expert"?! The over 25's category is turning into more of a freak show every year... although I do think that the tall skinny bloke would be better as a drag act!


The Scottish girl should have gone through, not the little Irish girl with a voice nearly as annoying as Diana Vickers.


On the plus side, I very much enjoyed watching the Robbie Williams/Gary Barlow banter on Saturday night. They might be getting on in years but by god they're sexy ;-)

Overaged freak ("OMG look!!... but who'd-a thought that voice...")- tick


Cute Celt for the Irish vote ("And the people of Omagh have something to cheer about tonight...") - tick


Hastily assembled group ("Will Tulisa's gamble pay off...?") - tick


Pre-pubescent looking boys/girls ("girlish sigh/boyish lustful moan") - tick


Bitch ("Tell her not everyone's against her... of course she'll swallow it, she's desperate") - tick


Chunky chap and lass ("That'll give the pie-eaters someone to cheer for") - tick


Black girl/guy ("We are so inclusive") - tick


Non-starters to be evicted in first weeks ("Put them through, they won't be around for long") - tick.


Autotune on standby, decide who will feature most heavily in M&S Xmas tv ad campaign, and we're off...

I really like the Irish girl though (Janet) and think Kelly got her choices right. I have no idea what planet Louis is on as usual. I think the girls are the group to beat and I actually think the groups might turn out to be quite good this year as well. Just happy to see most people can sing tbh.....think that's an achievement in itself compared to previous years.

The fist few weeks does make me look when all the freaks are on, and they have no chance of ever winning a place.

Then there are the losers that show their true personality when they realise they have failed.

If you look back now how many do pass and make a it to become famous.

If I were one of the judges, I would have the old fashiond Flap in the stage where they performed, instead of a judge waving the music to stop, a lever could be pulled and the contestant could be without any arguement dispatched to the outside Wheelie Bin.

  • 2 weeks later...

Hurrah..


The freak show returns X-Factor is on tonight.


Log fire, whole family on the sofa & a slow cooked something from the oven.


It's a joyous thing to behold.


Who'll be in or out, well frankly who cares.


I just love the occasion.


Oh that, plus the warm glow of knowing the "Fox" has gone.


( and wondering "what will otto buy" )

Sadly watching XFactor USA as well (record them on Sky Plus and fast forward the adverts for both series) - the US crowd are far far superior to the UK lot and you get a better judging panel including the great Simon Cowell. Want Johnny as a 'stick it to the judges' Wagner vote for UK otherwise don't really care.

I thought last weeks show was great and last night's equally as good. Can't decide if it's because the acts are better, or the panel, or both. For me the biggest talent is Misha Bryan, but Janet Devlin is good too. The suprise for me is Rythmix - they are getting better and better and at last....a UK girl band where everyone can actually sing!


Think NuVibe will go tonight.

Here we go with the sob fest! I'm quite relaxed about who goes, there were so many yesterday who were a bit ordinary, karaoke-stylee. I like Marcusthehairdresser and Misha B (Misha to win?). The Risk and the girl group were quite good too. I don't think Jonny will go, don't they fix it so the comedy crap acts stay in for a few rounds?


Edited for rubbishosity.

It's not as good as last year, yet - because Matt was so bloody good singing all those girl songs and Cher was the breathe of fresh air that kept it alive as a competition all the way to the latter stages. Cher made it interesting last year.


Marcus to win....if Gary Barlow starts giving him the right Motowny/Soul songs.

To be honest....



That Franky fellow is ...well "crummy" if you ask me ( and I don't like those trousers much either )


And Craig's developing singers tic's already, so he'll be off, back to the biscuit factory soon.


What's the big girl called, anyway, not digging her much or scary lady/weird brow-head. Way too scary.


So that leaves Marcus, who quite frankly nearly fell apart waiting to see if he's through.


Then Mischa B, who's a cross between Grace Jones & Lady Ga-Ga & goes from strength to ( x-factor ) strength


Have we missed anyone..? Oh yeah "Pub & Red Head Girl" she's/they're so very sweet.



As for the judges...well.. man-lady-up.


It's show time boys & girls and we want blood/sweat/tears.


Show us your pain.


( see Downton Abbey, they know just how to do it )

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
