X factor

[TillieTrotter]

So who went out?

[csaddleton]

One of the boy bands. I think we should all vote christopher, he wins and hopefully that will be the end.

[Otta]

It is not a "fix" in the way that some people are suggesting, the public are just manipulated by the pantomime of the whole thing.

Anyone voting for Christopher should be ashamed, I think the bloke has mental health issues quite frankly.

[DJKillaQueen]

Chrisptopher may be more sensitive than many but that's ok. Will he sell millions of records if he wins the competiton? No, and that may damage his confidence more than any other aspect of taking part in the show.

I still think James is miles ahead of everyone, from a commercial talent perspective. He may not win the competition but he will be the one that wins from a career afterwards.

Ultimately, Christopher's chances of sustaining a career as a respected solo artist may be adversely affected by him shaking like a shitting dog when on stage.

I hear Rylan is booked for the Hackneey Empire Panto season 2014.

[Pickle]

Ive just read that the One Direction performance the other night was pre-recorded, and the boys themselves were swanning about in New York on Saturday. Had me fooled.

[DJKillaQueen]

Hmm..so the show that clams to be live, wasn't totally so?

[Jeremy]

Is this whole thread one big joke? Has my irony decetor been failing me?

[aquarius moon]

Thought Jahmene was great last night. Surely must be him, Ella & James in final?

4th place, Union J?

That means either Rylan or Christopher will be gone tonight.

(We can only hope...!)

[Otta]

Missed last night, but have now accepted that Christopher will make the final because a lot of stupid people seem to like the freak!

[Pickle]

Christopher was bad last night, I think he will go tonight. It's Rylan that I think will make the final.

I'm still not feeling the Jahmene love, and found myself laughing at the warbling he did last night. I guess I just don't like that type of singing.

[Otta]

I'm the same. Very very talented lad, but not my bag.

[Pickle]

Yep, I'm not disputing his talent at all, he's certainly got plenty. Same with Ella for me, she's got a good voice, impressive for her age, but I'd never buy her album. Union J are cute, but I'm not sure they're good enough to do well, especially not with One Direction on the scene who follow the same formula but have more of an edge (helped by the fact that one of them has a thing for older women which gets them lots of publicity aside from the music!).

I am starting to quite like Rylan - I'm not sure how much of the stupidity is an act, but he is quite funny. His singing is terrible, loved that he asked whether he could mime. He will end up on tv somehow, on a reality show like all the other Essex types.

[????]

Tee hee lol at x-factor

[????]

Maybe that'll finally kill off the flogged nearly dead horse

[aquarius moon]

I'm still in shock while writing this.

Ella & James in bottom two?

Ella gone?

Rylan & Christopher still in?

Don't even know if I can bring myself to watch this anymore. Gutted.

[Annette Curtain]

(elvis is dead btw)

Maybe you should return to your own thread & leave us, in this thread to mourn our losses.

[titch juicy]

As Paul Heaton put succinctly on twitter,"X-factor, putting real musicians out of work since 2004"

[Annette Curtain]

I love this thread !

[maxxi]

I loved it more last year - it's a little predictable this year and none of the posts has really moved me yet - though I have high hopes for loony fishtank in the finals.

[maritap]

How could they possibly kick Ella out, she's one of the best. And for Rylan and chris to be still there, it's a joke. According to the media Christopher has been voting for himself. Desperation.

Chortles. Well played maxxi

I'm normally snoozing off at this point so last night was a real tonic.

I see this as a positive thing.. The show is slowly evolving and distilling itself into its perfect form and essence. By 2017 we will have the show we all deserve: a dozen monkeys forced to dance on a lightly electrified grid, slinging handfuls of shit at each other. (Olly Murs still to guest, naturally).
