The we are not really watching 'it' thread

[Ann]

Otta agreed, and I've not watched this series that closely, but I'm sure Tamera made a similar mistake before; doesn't bode well if you really think you can compete with the best ( performing artists).

Not a great competition this year in my opinion but I thought it was also a bit rubbish last year.

[aquarius moon]

If Tamera isn't in the bottom two tonight, I'll eat a beefburger!

[Pickle]

Part of me wants Temera to stay, just because watching someone stuff up adds a bit more interest! Hannah is talented, but not particularly likeable. I like Rough Copy, they stand a good chance of having a career. Sam is brilliant, but destined to sing on cruise ships and holiday parks I think, just not marketable enough.

[Otta]

What Pickle said.

[aquarius moon]

Unbelievable.

But as Simon calls all the shots & adores Tamera, not such a shock after all.

Did I mention the word 'fix' last week?!

How's the burger tasting?

I went to get one out of the freezer....

And guess what?

I could only find veggie burgers in there!

Oh well........

[Pickle]

I see this as a good thing, can't wait to see which song she cocks up next week :)

[Otta]

AM, when she makes a mistake, loads of people go "aw, poor thing" and vote for her.

[aquarius moon]

I wasn't a great fan of Hannah, but are you saying she deserved to go after her performance on Saturday?

And as for Rough Copy being in the bottom two.....?

Tamera is obviously struggling to handle the pressure. She looks uncomfortable on stage & I think the poor girl needs to be put out of her misery & voted off.

[Otta]

I am saying that you are taking it far too seriously! Whoever gives the best performance has absolutely no bareing on who people will vote for.

[aquarius moon]

Well it should. It's a singing competition!

[Otta]

It has never been a singing competition!!! Anything that allows the public to vote is nothing more than a personality / cutest looking competition.

Even our politics have gone that way, so I think you're expecting a bit too much of the bloody x factor.

[El Pibe]

In fairness it's been marginally more singingy and marginally less patomimey the last couple of years, but that still a

1:5 ratio!!

[aquarius moon]

I thought Luke & Sam were excellent tonight.

[Loz]

Tamera's go at Roberta Flack's classic was pretty damn flawless, and that is one hard song.

[????]

But she always sounds like the original artist, just high class kareoke

[Loz]

Isn't that pretty much what the show is?

[El Pibe]

all excellent (in that weird window of subservience to an outlook) but the winner was ... [harry styles for an older generation]

If it's a singing competition, Tamara won last night.

[El Pibe]

"I'm going to stop trying to tell you what Sharon Osbourne's telling the acts. She sounds like witch trying to operate a theramin on a rollercoaster. It's just noise at this point"

[El Pibe]

Weirdly I thought Luke was the best last night, as did la piba, who thinks he's a dark horse.

Going out tonight I imagine.

[aquarius moon]

Luke can't leave yet! I'm predicting top three.

[Otta]

I haven't seen that much x factor this year, but I love the song Run, which Leona Lewis ruined, and I genuinely liked that version that Luke did.

[Pickle]

Glad Tamera went, I was disappointed she didn't stuff up! Luke was very good. Loved James Arthur's performance, I might even buy his album, not something I've considered with any other past winners.
