X Factor 2014

[aquarius moon]

How can Louie choose those rubbish girls & that rubbish group over a better group & those cute little twins?

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The new boyband are ok though & they are asking people to suggest a name for them.

I think they should be called 'Simon Say's'!

[El Pibe]

Forget that, tulisa is what, 9 years old? Botox......really!?!?!

[aquarius moon]

Didn't she have a nose job?

God knows why. She looked better before.

[aquarius moon]

Kerrie-ann & Lola gone? Feel like screaming now!

[Loz]

Is this the first time ever Cheryl has rejected someone from South Shields?

[Seabag]

What's the fabulously posh one called, I think it's Cloe

"Ohhhh maaa goaaad, I woan't letccchhh yo dowaaaaan" in that slightly echoey, drawn out posh drawl

Just for that, she's in

Cheryl looks amazingly Cheryl like/ Tulisa looks tragicly 'clown like' bless her

Louis and Simon are just hilarious, in thier own weird way

[Pickle]

Chloe Jasmine is the posh one, she's hilarious, I'm convinced that accent is an act.

I like the two blokes in the overs section, the white van man from Croydon in particular, but also the ex-navy guy who seems like a genuinely nice guy.

[El Pibe]

chloe was in xfactor aaages ago, but all vidoes on youtube have mysteriously dissappeared, there is one of her on This Morning....same accent....

Siomn has so much botox he's become a Stepford Wife style simulcrum of Simon, Tulisa, why would you do that, you're young and beautiful albeit stupd and annoying, botox just doesn't make anyonme look good though does it. Horribly uncanny valley stuff.

[Pickle]

So she did, just found it online. Accent not quite so posh, but she's worked hard on the sexy image and lowered her voice to match!

And yes, the plastic surgery is unreal, Tulisa is unrecognisable.

[Seabag]

On the posh accent barrometer

I think just like all accents are evolving here. That particular one is what I call "PR/PA Posh" and I hear it most in the Food PR industry

Conversely, in my other life, where I wear a 'design' hat, the posh accent is different. Higher, soft, less deep

Bloody good fun tho, either way

[aquarius moon]

Good call tonight. Both my bottom 2 were voted out :)

[Seabag]

I wasn't seeing things was I ?

The boy from the boy band, wearing frames with no lenses in his specs

Hilarious propping, or fantastic anti-glare

And 'those girlz' with the doll vibe and the annnnnnooooyyyyyyinggg-g nasally accent, I shall miss them

"oh yeah, we're gonna carry on..."

Lastly, the one who scraped through, who is perfeft CBB's presenter material. I swear she mouthed "Oh f*ck I got through"

Haa...ha...it's fantasticly bonker crap TV and perfect as Winter closes in

[El Pibe]

Whilst Blonde Electra were perfomranig I waas reminded of Jim Hackers Party Political Broadcast.

If you have a radical agenda then you go for a staid, traditional formal backdrop, if you have nothing to say then you go with the dazzling new and exciting backdrop.

All those bright colours, dancing girls and elephants were making up for the fact that they weren't zany ata ll, thy were just boring.

Having said that I'd rather them than the girl that survived who won't last another wek anyway.

Stevie on the other hand...the new Wagner!!!

[*Bob*]

The quality of the backing tracks and arrangements seems to have had a considerable boost this year.

[Otta]

I'll start watching when I can drink again.

[El Pibe]

That may well be by thought a few of the acts were completely swamped by them too.

Anyway, early predictions for final 3?

Chloe will bomb out when they etll her to change her schtick and she tries to do a perky abba number.

So I'm thinking Itlain fella, maybe van driver and perhaps welsh bloke, geordie lass perhaps?

Fleur seemed an absolute natural, so that'll be week 3 then!!

[*Bob*]

Well apart from Andrea, the immediate obvious fave ('Earth Song', not accidentally the last song of the night)

The other one with proper potential.. Lauren, I think - though there's a household question over whether she can dance.

[El Pibe]

ha ha, some insight into improvements in arrangement

[*Bob*]

So Lauren did a cover of somebody else's cover - and the other person who did the original (well, you know) cover feels wronged?

[El Pibe]

well, i guess when everybody knows its a pharrel williams cover, but when the judges say 'i love what you did with it Lauren, you really made it your own' i might feel a bit aggrieved too.

Besides it was a 'what the faaa?' tweet, hardly a court summons.

[Loz]

Stevie for the win. Needs bongos, though.

[ultraburner]

Shmex factor. Pot noodle music. (imo, no offence like etc.)

Yeah, fair point. "It's a shit business".

She chose her primetime ratings side when she went on Doctor Who though. Perhaps ITV took it personally..?

Moro is great but a dirty kebab has its place.

I don't think most people on this thread are confusing the two!

[aquarius moon]

My top 3 so far.

Jay, Fleur, Only The Young

followed by Lauren & Stereo Kicks.

Any other opinions?
