X Factor

Next saturday woohoo, yes it's that time of year again where i can laugh my arse of at people who think they can actually sing, who's going to watch, do you think they can find another leona, personally i think she's a one off success, where are the other winners from previous years.
GenieDi

I turned off last year when the sob stories started, I thought here we go again.....

Shame really as I used to love it.
lil eva

I love some of the numpties who audition
I do watch most of it though
Chrissy Canadian

we have canadian idol here and i love it...there is some good talent on it
Josie-lufc

I just love Simon Cowell
Chrissy Canadian

we see simon cowell here on american idol as well.  i think he's the only one that actually is honest and gives advice.  we have 4 judges on canadian idol and there is one who kinda tries to be like simon cowell lol.  the show is hosted by ben mulroney, who is the son of our ex (and most hated) prime mininster hehe
Josie-lufc

X-factor wouldnt be X-factor without him  
Evie

I agree girls it woulden't be the same, i watch everything, X-factor, american idol, britain's got talent, america's got talent i just love the catty thing simon can come away with  
Chrissy Canadian

oh i didn't know you guys got americas got talent over there, ooooh lucky you lol
Evie

We sure do chrissy it's on itv2 don't tell popi he thinks i watch enough shite    
Chrissy Canadian

your secret is safe with me babes  
sabbi



The men folk probably think we are a bunch of saddos but who cares. I watch Britains Got Talent/Americas' Got Talent/X-Factor and American X-factor as well. Waiting to see if the ventriliquest Terry Fator wins overall. I think he is a million times better than any other act on the stage. He blew me away when he sang 'Crying' through the turtle. If he doesn't win, IT'S A FIX. I'm excited about our own X-Factor on Saturday night as well, i just love the numpties that say, i'm going to win this, and of course they are piss. It's television entertainment at it's very best, in my opinion and long may it last.
Evie

Yeah thats who i want to win to sabbi i think the guys amazing, ohh and if you watch on friday please don't post who wins i don't watch it till saturday night because i'm watching big brother.

That's okay with me evie, we'll discuss it tomorrow eh? I'm getting kinda excited here X-Factor tonight at 7.30pm,  Saturday nights are once more Fandabbidozie eh evie? Saw a trailer for it the other night and one guy was singing (no a bad voice either) but he needs to ditch his mate because he kinda raps in between and he's stinkin at it. All four judges were laughing and i can't wait to hear what they say. Well, no doubt we'll disect that tomorrow as well evie, so until then, tara the noo.    
Evie

Well the guy with the puppet did win america's got talent and so he should have to he is absolutely brilliant, loved x factor last night but why is it a programme you really like goes by in what feels like minutes i want more, bring on next saturday, i laughed my ass off at some of them it's amazing they think they can sing, but there were some good one that guy your talking about i thought he was quite a good singer if he dropped his brother but simon said otherwise ohh well.
lil eva

Yes i commented on that lad too Evie.The brother was a joke(made me laugh anyway)but the singer had potential
sabbi

Hi guys, i was so pleased Terry Fator won A.G.T. he was fabulous, very much deserved i think. Well done to you Terry. As for x-factor Evie, i agree it's all over when your really enjoying it. Roll on next Saturday. I was surprised Simon did'nt ask the brother that could sing to go away and learn another song and come back himself, oh well, i suppose he does know best. I loved the girl who sang the Amy Winehouse number, she was up front about her past as well, i do hope she goes far because i loved her voice, it was so different.
lil eva

O.....M.....G why oh why do some of them muppets put themselves through it?
That Ariel from West Yorks   Chuffing hell,she was bloody scarey,rude,abnoxious..........you name it she was it.
Then there was the 2 bartenders
Evie

hahaha i laughed so much at her anne, i don't know what planet she is from, there was some crackers in there i just don't know who they sing to and them saying yeah go for it  
sabbi


Quite enjoyed last nights show guys, a fair few good singers among them this year so far. Did you catch the guy that thought he was this years winner, (as sure as they say that, you just know they are going  to be rotten) and he did'nt disappoint us. He was so arrogant wasn't he? Get him storming out and telling Simon Cowell that he was going to be a superstar and the panel would regret not putting him through, in fact Simon would be begging to work with him in the future. I nearly pee'd myself laughing because he really thought he was that good.    
Evie

I missed the x factor last night, i was to busy yapping away on here, will watch the repeat later, i think that was the last of the auditions, wonder who will get what group next week? ohhh i love X factor.
lil eva

I missed it too Evie,i will have to try and catch a repeat
Evie

Did you watch X factor anne, the girl who lost her mother at 7 had me in tears and the woman singing were having a gang bang made me laugh so much hehee
Serenity

I love it too, boot camp next Saturday AND Sunday!! woohoooo

Evie

X-factor was great this weekend, how nervous were them poor people, even the good ones where losing it on stage and the girl in the band who dropped the mike and walked away   i really thought she'd blown it then.
lil eva

I think if the remaining 24 hold it together it will be a difficult contest this year.
Evie

agree anne there is some amazing singers this year.
Serenity

Loved it too Evie, but I'm sure I must listen with different ears, because some of them they put through are awful lol...didn't like that blonde girl with the pale lipstick one bit...loads of the others I like though, and that girl Lou sent home the othre year is absolutely amazing.
Evie

She is fantastic can't believe louie let her go that time.
lil eva

THE FINAL 12 ARE:

Cheryl
Laura
Diana
Alexandra

Louis
JLS
Girlband
Bad Lashes

Dannii
Ruth
Daniel
Rachel

Simon
Eoghan
Scott
Austin
Serenity

Well most of the ones I wanted got through.

The boys were the right choice.

The groups too.

Overs, I didn't like apart from the bloke I didn't want the Spanish lady to go through but I wanted the pretty girl who was a backing singer, I thought she was much better. And the ex jail bird oh nooooooooo! gonna have to put up with that gobbo till Christmas now ! lol

The young ones, Glad the one Louie turned down last time got through she is by far the best. I don't like the other two though, I thought the blonde one is crap, and although the other one sings better I just don't like her, nm, they are the experts, hopefully they've made the right choices lol
Evie

Yeah can't wait for the live final on saturday, it's going to be good.
sabbi



I liked all the choices for the final 12. Mind you, i think the girl Louis turned down last year, is streets ahead of the rest. Im looking forward to the first live show on Saturday night and according to todays papers, the first celebrity guest is Leon Jackson singing his new single, to be released next week.  
lil eva

There were some really good performances tonight.Nerves got the better of some,but i particularly liked Alex & JLS.
I think that the girls band from the north-Bad lashes??? will go tonight,or Scott for Simons choice of song for him.
Bravo

Laura was streets ahead of the rest, absolutely phenomenal.

Bad lashes were crap
silver fox

no chance , that young chap from ierland gowing places , yep ther all good this year
Josie-lufc

Bad Lashes are out thank goodness.
silver fox

smile yep y right
sabbi


I enjoyed the first live show and felt sorry for Scott getting the wrong song to sing from Simon, I'm so happy about the public at large giving him another chance though. The girl groups being on the sing off was'nt a surprise to me, i don't like any of the two anyway, i do love JLS however. All the performers were understandably nervous though but i still think it will be between Alexandra and Rachel in the final.
Evie

The right one went this week, loved it, i can't wait until saturday again lol.
Bravo

Evie wrote:

Same here, I thought they were crap.  In fact, I think the groups as a whole have been terrible this year, JLS are the best out of them but even they are mediocre at best.

For me, at this moment, Laura is in front, but that can always change.
Evie

Righty have we all got the drinks and nibbles in for X factor tonight, i have and the day is dragging by lol, bring it on.
Josie-lufc

Know what you mean Di, think my days are getting more boring by the second.
lil eva

I have Evie Im baby sitting so once the little fella is in bed it'll just be me & the tele
Bravo

I don't know whether to watch x factor or not.  Wife is off out to a friends for the evening in Harrogate (taking the baby, its some kind of baby shower or something), so might wait until we can watch it together.

At least we can skip through the adverts that way  
Bravo

This week I think Eoghan was the worst, he sang Ben awfully.

How good was Ruth on Purple Rain? I actually burst out in tears watching it, the raw emotion came through, I thought it was better than the original, and I think the original is one of the all time greats.  Shouldn't have gone to deadlock.

What on Earth is Simon on about she should sing in Spanish?  Has he lost the plot or what?
lil eva

I sometimes think Simon is related to Di's ex-he can be such a plank.
I wasn't keen on Ruth actually until she sang Purple rain,but it was a brilliant performance.
I still like JLS and tonight i thought the bottom 2 would have been Daniel & Girl band.

I thought exactly the same Anne, i was gobsmacked when his name came out, i secretly hoped it would be Girlband that would go so i was'nt disappointed there. Incidentally, i still think it's going to be between Alexandria and Rachel in the final.
Chrissy Canadian

so i have a question.... do they have bands and single singers competing against each other?
lil eva

Yes Chrissy.There are 4 catagories

1)Groups
2)Boys
3)Girls
4)Over 25's
Chrissy Canadian

oh wow, thanks for the info anne.  i would have loved to see that one who sang purple rain... i really love that song
lil eva

She is a Spanish girl(who speaks excellent English)She gave it her all.
I don't like Prince or symbol or whatever his name is this week,but she sang his song brilliantly.
Chrissy Canadian

lil eva wrote:

hahaha too funny i like him, but i bet you could beat him up if you wanted to anne, he's only like 5'4" or something
Bravo

Chrissy Canadian

thanks bravo!  yes she has a very good voice alright... i thought the back up singers were too a little too loud, but i'm glad they just let her voice come out alone in the end.... really great version, this could be a hit for her i'm sure
Evie

She was amazing, made the hairs stand up when she sang purple rain, simon is just a twit, he was slagging off some good singers, sour grapes me thinks.
Bravo

I think the 'rivalry' (obviously put on) between Simon And Louis is getting very old now.

I think they need to draw a line under it
Serenity

Alexandra is a born star, and although Rachael is a good singer, I thought she was crap again last night with the song choice, it really didn't do her any favours and I hate her cocky attitude, sorry.....Laura is good and I love her style but she struggled the first half of her song. I actually liked the one who sounds like Cilla and looks like a fairy, last night, she's different. And I love Austin, and that arrangement he sang.......I was shocked at how well Ruth sang Purple Rain, she certainly came into her own during that, lets hope we see more of that!.............thank god Girlband are out, they were crap

I think I agree with just about every single word of that  
Josie-lufc

If Laura is the girl with the blonde hair wearing a white dress, (couldnt remember whether it was this week or last), Girlband and Rachael, I wasnt suprised after listening to them that I have had an ear infection.

The only person I can bear to listen to is the young lad - now he can definately sing.
lil eva

I think the blonde girl is Diana Jo.Im sure Laura has dark hair.
Josie-lufc

Oh well whoever she is, I cant stand her voice, its absolutely awful.
silver fox

they all are good this year but its that young lad from ierland i thin k could be the one to beat  
lil eva

The one they call Owen,but spell Euoghan or something?
Hes pretty good
Evie

It's got to be Daniel that goes this week, ok he made me cry buckets when i heard his story but he just is not good enough.
Bravo

Eoghan has to go, can't sing to save his life, had to hide when he sang Ben I was so embarrassed for him.

Put the lad out of his misery.
Evie

Have to agree bravo so it should be eoughan and daniel in the sing off tonight, no doubt it will be 2 bloody good ones lol.
Josie-lufc

WTF he is ONLY one that CAN sing, he has a wonderful voice and can sing in tune, or is it that the worse you can sing the better you will do.
Chrissy Canadian

well obviously i dont watch the show cause it's not shown here, but after hearing all you talking about it i had a peek on youtube   ... i think that eughon is a really great singer.... his voice is very understated, but he's very good imo
Josie-lufc

Well glad someone agrees with me Chrissy and when you think he is only 15.
Chrissy Canadian

just had a listen to some of the girl singers you mentioned here..... lol they all suck
silver fox

yes hes good iv always said that .. but after tonight my vote gowes to diana waw there somthing about har voice  
Chrissy Canadian

daniel sucks too by the way  
silver fox

sucks what

cant help it .. its they way y said it hehehe
Chrissy Canadian

sorry lol, its just the way we say things in canada  
silver fox

yes always nice things  
sabbi

I do think Daniel will go tonight, i can't even guess who the sing off will be with because they all upped their game tonight. It was brilliant and i think the 5 girls are going to be a force to be reckoned with. I still favour Alexandra myself though.
Bravo

Alexandra looked well fit tonight, she's really looking (and sounding) great.

Agree with what Evie said earlier, Daniel and Eoghan were the weakest tonight.  Eoghan was absolutely awful, I don't know why the judges said he was good because he clearly isn't.

It's the public vote that counts though so should be interesting this week.
sabbi

I just can't believe it, Daniel is still in, Scott goes, not that i think he's anything exceptional mind but i did like him better than Daniel.
Bravo

Louis was spot on when he said one went through the motions (Scot) and the other sang with passion.

That's the best Daniels sang by a long long way, and the worst I've heard Scot sing since that first week when he had the duff song choice.

The vote went the right way imo, though neither of them could realistically win the contest, but then again I said that about Leon last year...
Evie

You  can never tell can you who will go or who will win, i havent seen the results show i fell asleep   going to watch it today to see how it all went i don't even know who was in the last 2 with scott.
sabbi


well, i've just finished watching the show and although all the singers were great (it's hard now to separate them) i still think it's Alexandra that will be the one to beat. She was FABU......LUS tonight.
lil eva

I think that Diana was good tonight.I haven't liked her other arrangements much,but tonight she was good.
I think it will be Danny and Euoghan(i cant bloody spell his name )in the bottom 2.
Bravo

I think it should be Eoghan and Rachel in the bottom two this week

Like you Evie, i thought nothing surer than Daniel would go but i'm not sure now that he won't stay for a couple of weeks yet, he certainly does have a big fan base out there it seems. He's a nice guy yes but his class of singing is'nt as strong as the others. I still think Alexandra will be the one to beat.
sabbi



well well well, Ruth or Laura, Laura or Ruth,who would have thought it. The bottom 2 tonight. Both girls have just finished their songs and i would'nt like to be the judges tonight, they were both excellent. It's Laura going home. Ruth lives to fight another day. I also think Alexandra was outstanding again tonight and i still think she is the one to beat. I felt so sorry for Diana tonight, i really did. Hope she is fighting fit next Saturday.  
Bravo

I think Laura, Diana and Alexandra are in a totally different class to the rest of them.

Laura going out and Eoghan, Rachel and Daniel staying in?  That aint right at all.
lil eva

Well i just caught the beginning of the 2nd programme last night before i went to work and i must say i thought Rachel was going.She was out of tune and just not good in general.
I was so surprised to just find out that it was Laura
Evie

I was well shocked that the 2 girls where in the bottom but hey thats the public for you, bet bloody daniel will make it ot the final  
Bravo

I think the way they do the voting makes it so the best ones go out.

When someone you like has a bit of a stinker, you are more likely to vote for them hoping to keep them in, but if your fave has a great performance you are likely to leave it thinking others will keep em in.  Multiply that by thousands and you see how this happens.

If they changed the vote to who you want out, they'd get a more realistic result.
Evie

yes someone who talks sense lol, i've been wondering that for years i want to vote out who i want to go not who i want to stay in, one of the reasons i dont vote any more.
Bravo

Should be Eoghan and Diana in bottom two this week, though quite a few of them were poor.  Best was Alexandra.
sabbi

You beat me to it tonight bravo. I think the bottom 2 tonight should Daniel and Diana, as usual Alexandra was fabulous again, she goes from strength to strength each week.
