WTF

But I did laugh at that post btw.

AND whats with the Playmobile hair FFS

[????]

That was genuinely good (James)

[aquarius moon]

Why is this clown still here? (Rylan)

He may be a genuinely nice person,

But a singer?!

[El Pibe]

"This week, Indie Matilda Kye Sones is singing Who's Gonna Save The World Tonight in what looks like something horribly close to a replica Ground Zero. I mean, it's too close to Ground Zero to justifiably be anything else.

It doesn't matter how Kye is singing ? although, for the record, he's dull ? because this is by far the most tasteless that X Factor has ever been. I'm actually quite appalled by it. Maybe next week he'll perform next to a burning replica of the Hindenburg, and all the dancers could be on fire and stuff. I mean for crying out loud."

For the record this is from the guardian live blog.

Ella

&

District 3

And now, i'm about to eat a Tesco curry ready meal.

Lucy is a genuine talent, and so far still being allowed to be herself, which I think is probably because Tulisa is her mentor.

Why on earth would anyone be so happy to be compared to Chris Martin?! I'd want to chin someone.

[aquarius moon]

I didn't go much on any of the songs tonight.

Thought the best performance by far was Ella, then James.

Hated Rylan (again). Jade, Union J & MK1 were pretty poor too.

P.S. Lucy is ok, but I like her much better when she is performing her own songs.

[LondonLogCo]

Leave Chris Martin alone.

Anyway, he's got Tinitus & that's a burden enough.

Ella was just great & I quite liked that Lucy guitar girl.

Rylan was camptastic.

[Otta]

" Anyway, he's got Tinitus & that's a burden

enough."

Yes but does a blind man go around poking everyone else in the eyes?

[Annette Curtain]

I'm indifferent to most music to be honest, but not that I don't like some of it.

But I don't understand the whole anti Coldplay thing, seems to be a waste of energy getting frothed up over it.

(not that Otta is getting FU'd over it btw)

Don't like-Don't engage! Or is that too simplistic.

Anyway back on topic.

I'm lovin Rylan.

I liked James and Lucy last night. Ella is good, but a bit bland. I don't think X Factor is the right show for Lucy, but hopefully she will do well out of it. I like that they are continuing to let her perform her own music (ish).

Rylan, dreadful.

Jahmein is a great singer, not to my taste. I hadn't seen the news articles about him, so we looked it up last. Night when they mentioned it. Poor kid has had a genuinely tough life.

[Otta]

Regarding Lucy, I think it's a shop window for her. Ella is the more typical x factor winner, and I don't expect Lucy to win, but she's the one person who has come on the show, and shown off her own material, and I think she'll be snapped up after the show. I hope so anyway.

I agree that she's best doing her own stuff, but I really really liked what she did last night, 50% of which was her own.

[Otta]

RE Coldplay, I don't engage, but sometimes they're unavoidable.

I like some of their songs... Yellow, Fix you, In my place, and probably some others, but I'd never buy an album. My issue is not with Coldplay's music, I just find Chris Martin comes over as one of the bigger twats in the celebrity world.

He may actually be a lovely bloke, but he just comes over as such an arrogant cock who actually believes that he is something very special.

[Otta]

Gutted MK1 went, I liked them.

Instead we have the boring bloke.

[Otta]

Oh, and that Christopher needs to go.

[Annette Curtain]

Who's the phoney "shaky" one ?

He need a giant Edam dropped on him from a great height.

[Pickle]

Load of bollocks. Christopher the cruise ship singer is terrible, who on earth votes for these people?!

[aquarius moon]

MK1 were not very good last night & in the sing-off it was 50/50 as both acts were pretty bad.

Let's face it, they were never going to win anyway.

I read in the paper that Christopher has been receiving the most public votes so far.

Looks like they are also voting for Rylan (why?)

If I wasn't addicted to this programme, I would switch off due to frustration & despair.....!!!

[maritap]

I'm hoping for Ella or Jahmene to win. Rylan is the joke act this year. He didn't make it in that Katie Price thingy he was in so I guess this is his next try

[????]

Why so much love for MK? They seemed really, really dated to an old git like me, or is late 80s hip hop having a revival?

x factor is yet again the Normal slightly watchable pantomime crap as far as I can see

[*Bob*]

X Factor's loss is potential-CBBC-presenters gain.

Is the better-than/worse-than-last-year debate really worth spending any time on?

Like previous years, they are adequate for the task in hand. After that.. who cares.

[Annette Curtain]

I'm trying to like Jahmene, (as an act) really I am

The poor kid's had it tough and all that, but what's with the Playmobile "shape-up" hair cut. Poor guy looks like he's been styled by Pee Wee Herman on acid. I half expected the bow tie to rotate and carry him off around the studio.

And I like singing, but i'm exhausted after his excursion into song, with all those Whoops-and-Wails

(much like skiing a black run backwards & blindfolded)

"Can I look now mummy"

I need a lay down just thinking about it.

*mops brow*

[Otta]

Impressive talent, but doesn't do it for me either.

[El Pibe]

I don't think anyone has explained 'less is more' to him.

Still the punters seem to be lapping it up.
