The we are not really watching 'it' thread

[Loz]

Two of the most commercially viable acts in the singoff. What does the public know? Who the hell is going to buy anything from Nicolas? Or Sam? Rough Copy might fill the space left by JLS, but they just aren't as polished as they were at the same stage.

I can see Simon C signing up Tamera first thing Monday morning. 16 years old, has the right look and an amazing voice.

[TillieTrotter]

Luke for me.

[Loz]

Well, that was a first for X Factor this week - boy hits puberty halfway through a Beyonce song.

[El Pibe]

The only entertaining episode in a momentously dull night.

Rough Copy will probably go on to do fine, JLS fine, not One Direction fine.

Their sing off was woefully bad though.

[Otta]

They're basically just not very good, but very likeable lads.

[TillieTrotter]

Agree with you there Otta.

[El Pibe]

spot on, though I did shudder a bit when he said "shout out if you believe in god"

A whole crowd goes "WWWWWOOOOOOOOOooooooo......" "Hhunh?"

[Otta]

I didn't notice that bit. All I saw this weekend was the sing off, and I loved the way Rough Copy were rooting fir Luke whilst he was singing. Respect.

[El Pibe]

Definitely nice guys.

Also something about the way they danced just occasionally reminded me of jedward.

THat bit was right at the end after they walked of stage for the last time ever, at least until next week for the enseble intro song and the traditional hug at the end, and the tour, etc etc etc

Some serious outbreaks of acne this week.

Make-up department definitely had their work cut out.

[Otta]

I really hope that Sam woman wins. I'd like Luke to win, but he won't, and I just don't want to see that little Scottish boy win.

I'd love to see him do a version of "I am 16, going on 70" in the final.

[Otta]

Haha, that would be wicked!

[aquarius moon]

So who will it be? Sam or Nicholas?

Hope Sam will win. Never been a Nicholas fan & Sam hasn't ever had a bad performance.

[Pickle]

Sam deserves it, an excellent singer. Nicholas, while gaining confidence, has become increasingly annoying as the weeks have gone by.

[Otta]

Sam by a country mile.

But I have a feeling the wee man might win it on the teeny vote

[Pickle]

Hooray :)

[Otta]

Indeed, well deserved. And a likeable person to boot.

[Pickle]

By far and away the best singer on the night, and very modest with it. Love that she seemed more excited about the fact she looked thin on her CD cover, than the fact she had a CD.

[El Pibe]

saturday night's Wagner extravaganza summed up what's wrong with the show trying to be a singing competition rather than panto.

It's lost its ability to entertain.

Gary gave it some minor CPR, but if there had been another insipid clone a la dannii or tulisa rather than Sharon there, I suspect that this might have been the last one (at least until it underwent Dr Who style regeneration and became X Idol in the Jungle, or something)

[????]

.....he'll be back......

[El Pibe]

I'm not sure, it clashed with the US one, and he'd see that as a massive step back.

Same reason Louis keeps rejecting the Irish one, i think he said something like 'once you been in Rolls Royce why would you get into a mini" or something equally patronising.

[Otta]

True though.

[*Bob*]

I find it hard to describe my feelings as soon as X Factor finishes.

Like getting home to your wife after a liaison with a prostitute, perhaps? Something like that? I'm guessing, of course.
