X Factor

[FatherJack]

I's all a bit Big Brother to me......don't they keep the irritating little ***** in the house to boost ratings?? Haven't watched BB for years though, but that was my theory way back when and now I find history doth repeat itself on another show!!

Daizie.....Robbie was DEF on summat, had I been Dermot I would have been unable to look him in those BIG BAD SCARY EYES.

I felt certain this would have been a pre-recorded show, can you imagine Simon Cowell faffing about on a Saturday night and then returning on a Sunday night for the results, but Louis wasn't there......hold on it could still have been filmed last night couldn't it..........???

[daizie]

It must have been pre-recorded then. What time did the phone lines close?

[reetpetite]

It couldnt have been prerecorded as how would they have known of Stephen Gateleys death.

[daizie]

Think he died last night? They would have known, before it was made public .

[reetpetite]

But did you not see the beginimg of the show when Simon spoke of it and Louis absence in front of the audience ,he couldnt have done that last night when no one knew about it.

[daizie]

Maybe they knew about it last night ?

Apparently he died at 1.45pm Saturday afternoon .

[reetpetite]

Yes they did know last night he said but they wouldnt have announced to the audience before it hit the news .Do you not see what I mean ?

[daizie]

Maybe they did tell the audience before it hit the news. Not sure what time it was made public. I only saw it when i got up this morning.

[reetpetite]

Thats not very likely. Anyway I fully believe that was a live show tonight.

[Strawbs]

It was definitely live they were just in the same clothes, the blonde out of kandy rain had straight hair not crimped as she did on saturday and the girl from London had bright green eyeshadow on on saturday but didnt last night and totally different lipstick..

[Keef]

Of course it's live. There would be little point in kitting them all out in a second outfit, when most of them aren't even going to perform.

The twins will probably be in for a while, remember John Seargent in Strictly last year, outlasting better people, simply because the public have a twisted sense of humour.

[*Bob*]

Hats off to Alexandra for her masterclass in miming too.

[buggie]

It'll have had to be live last night as the voting lines didn't close till half way through the show - the phonelines are so strictly governed now they wouldn't be able to pre-record.

[daizie]

Haha! I cant see any one of then becoming a *star* apart from Olly and Jamie and only if they're managed correctly. Thinks back to Steve Brookstein. I think its rigged anyway.

[*Bob*]

X-Factor factoid from the last series..

"X Factor star Niki Evans said she was encouraged to cry over her dad's death while appearing on the programme last year, and claims she was voted off after she refused advice from judge Louis Walsh to sing Luther Vandross's Dance With My Father and cry afterwards."

Hooray for the X-Factor!

[Ladygooner]

Ok, own up - who is voting to keep Jedward on the show? Is it just to annoy Simon Cowell?!

[Keef]

The Irish.

As an aside, I am no fan of Danyl, I don't think he's as good as Simon makes out. However, it was genuinely uncomfortable viewing watching him the other day, he looked a broken man!

[*Bob*]

Could there be a less inspiring sight than looking into into the dead, lifeless eyes of 'Danyl' (?!) as he bores his way through another minute of singing? I doubt it.

And can anyone settle an argument? Is that Jamie Archer's real face or is he wearing a clown mask?

We are mostly liking Ollie at the moment. He's the sort of person you'd hope to get when you telephone a call centre to enquire about travel insurance.

So Ollie to win. And if Ollie goes out, I'll be rooting for Jedward. We can't all be brilliant singers and dancers - like Cheryl, can we?

[daizie]

*smirks*

[mockney piers]

"So Ollie to win. And if Ollie goes out, I'll be rooting for Jedward."

That pretty much sums up the mockney household too.

I actually quite like Jamie, but Louie (sp?) has a point about him being a good karaoke artist, though gawd knows what he thinks he's achieving by that as the whole show is nothing but karaoke meets reality tv.

Big band week was great because it fits the bill perfectly, rock doesn't lend itself to rent-a-mariah-lets-bang-out-the-big-note format at all, which is why it was dire.

I'm looking forward to jazz week and all the Cleo Laine covers...magic!!!

[*Bob*]

ba-be-dee bab-bab-baaaaa... booop.

'Rock Week' was piss-poor for sure.. but then I don't suppose a one-week Sylvia Young seminar is guaranteed to turn every student into a bona fide rocker.

And you know you've been dissed when even wet-fart weak-voiced girl-rocker Bon Jovi refuses to take part in the up-till-now obligatory 'mentoring' session for fear of toe-curling.

[TillieTrotter]

I was really impressed with Ollie's performance but please let him sort out his piss-pot hairdo! I actually thought Rachel was the only other decent performer on rock week. I'm for either Stacey or Ollie.

[????]

You can't beat an Essex combo like that ;-)

[Moos]

Hee hee hee!

I haven't watched the XFactor this season before, and was delighted this evening to catch up on what you're all talking about.

Jedward were hilarious, hilarious.

"Who you gonna call?"
