X Factor

[Siouxsie]

Canr wait

[Siouxsie]

soooooooooo excited

[ThaGazBoi]

Yes so am i :hugesmile:

[Siouxsie]

Tabby was on gmtv today he rocks seems to be doing well

[Siouxsie]

grat show tonight simon was on top form as usual

[Ruth]

I never normally watch X Factor, Pop Idol, or anything like that, but I did watch X Factor last night. I couldn't believe that Louis and Sharon wanted to put that Chico through. And what about that couple who they said no to, and they were saying that Simon is talentless and should go back to working in McDonalds?! I doubt Simon would give two hoots about what they thought - he's the multi millionaire after all, not them! The bit that made me cringe the most was when that girl went in at the end, and they said no to her, but she was begging them to give her a chance because singing was all she was any good at (although I beg to differ - her singing was not good at all) - her mum, fiance and sister literally went down on their knees, begging the judges to give her a chance. I was watching through my fingers, I was so embarrassed for them.

[sol]

yer she was c**p
stupid cow, why should she think that she is special enough 2 beg through auditions.
The fiancee and mother and sister were just as bad - setting themselves up for disappointment by saying i know shes gonna win the x factor - how stupid do you get
Well done judges :thumbs:

[Siouxsie]

what a family that was :rolleyes:

[Princess]

yeh i was just like OMG!

[Lance]

Ruth,agree with you that Chico was awful cannot believe he has gotten through at all.:rolleyes:

The first show was good,I've only gotten round to watching it because I was out for the weekend.

For anyone who missed it heer's a little re-cap:

The new series kicks off to an eventful start with the London and Manchester auditions, in the hope of finding the act who has "The X Factor" in 2005.

The three judges - Louis Walsh, Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne - heard the first sets of auditionees, and we saw both the talented and the talentless.

34-year-old Chico sparked off the rivalry between the judges of the day. Simon had rejected him, claiming "that was awful" but was later outnumbered by Sharon and Louis, who decided that he should go through to the next round. Simon told Louis "You're making a fool out of yourself, gentleman!" after the audition.

The next auditionee, Andy, received praise and a unanimous vote from all three judges to go through to the next round. He auditioned following his shift as a binman - could he be giving up the day job?

Boyfriend and girlfriend Michael and Della, known as club act "Spirit and Destiny" were rejected at auditions by the judges. Disagreements between the pair and the judges prompted the security guards to usher the act out of the room. They later entered the "X Factor Pod" to vent their frustrations.

The final act of the London auditions was 16-year-old Alexandra whose rendition of "Saving All My Love For You" proved popular with all three judges. Another highlight included boy band " The Brothers" - these sparked a fight over which act would get the groups in time for Boot Camp.

The Manchester auditions saw dairy farmer Justin get rejected at the first hurdle, but he later returned in drag as "Justine" after a suggestion that he "came back as a woman". If his singing doesn't get him noticed, then the drag act will!

16-year-old Trevor, who arrived with his entire family, was described by Louis as "more natural than Ronan". Even Simon had something good to say about him, saying he would "sell a million records", and Kate found it unbelievable of Simon to pay such a compliment!

The most bizarre contestant was Howard, who claimed he could "resurrect John Lennon's voice". That unfortunately caused him to be rejected from the show.

The show ended with 19-year-old Sarah, a girl who was determined to follow her dreams and be a success. Unfortunately, her image and voice weren't what the judges wanted, and despite a mass protest from her fiancé and family, she was another reject. She took the news hard, breaking down in tears after the audition.

[ThaGazBoi]

That chico was absolute sh*t!

I liked that young boy with the ginger hair, his voice was well good.

[Lance]

I liked Alexandra,the girl who sang 'Saving All My Love',she was quite good.

[ThaGazBoi]

Yeh.
I liked that really young girl, the young black girl, i cant remember her name, was that alexandra?

[BigSister]

yeah i think it was that Justin comes from Preston where im going to uni I hope I dont see him

[Ruth]

Thanks for the article Lance:thumbs:

Wierdest audionees had to be Howard - claiming he could resurrect John Lennon's voice:conf: - and Justin/Justine - I couldn't believe he got through the second time round!

[BigSister]

neither did I Ruth I was like shouting at the tv you cant put him/her through and same with Chico as well. I think that boy band who just missed out on final 3 last time are going to be auditioning again, Im not sure though. I hope I get to see it as im going out to a party later on if not ill have to tape it

No probs Ruth,Nicola wrote it up for our website,it's just a quick recap for anyone who wants to catch up!

I also couldn't believe that Justin(e) got through,and well Chico wasn't great,definately not good enough to be put through.:rolleyes:

[Nicola]

Yeah, and I'm very proud to say the article is mine! Look out for more great things like that from me - I must be a TV reporter in the making!

Anyway, my fave so far was Alexandra, and some of the ones I wrote about were memorable, to say the least!

[ThaGazBoi]

Nicola they were indeed

[Ruth]

I shall look out for more of your articles Nicola - that's a great one:thumbs:

[Siouxsie]

half an hour to go and im off to watch the x factor soooooooo excited:colour:

[ThaGazBoi]

im off to watch it soon

[Fangz]

Lol, Louis has got a stalker.

[Ruth]

I recorded it and haven't watched it yet. I did see the bit with Louis' stalker though! A "stage 5 clinger":laugh:

[Fangz]

Maybe Craig could give her a few tips.:laugh:

[ThaGazBoi]

LOL!!!! :bouncy:

[Fangz]

What did you think of the eighty-two year old, gaz?

[Siouxsie]

the one with the trolley who got through OMG !!!!!

[Siouxsie]

and what about the 4 year old kid and the micheal jackson look a like ????????????????????????????

[Fangz]

The MJ looky-likey was quite good, I thought. The four year old was dead sweet, but I reckon his parents put him up to it.

[CharlotteSometimes]

His picture had been in a few of the papers and there was a lot of fuss about him, even before the series had started. I didn't think he was anything special at all, really. He reminded me of James thingy, the 'child prodigy' antiques expert who had a sex change recently. I think Trevor from week one was far better.

[Fangz]

The MJ lookey-likey or the four year old, Jo? And who's this child-prodigy antique-dealer? Sounds interesting.

[BigSister]

:laugh: that 4 year old and Louis stalker were funny:laugh:

[CharlotteSometimes]

The former. He (the 'child prodigy') was on both Trisha and This Morning (receiving a make-over) last year I think, and there was also a documentary on CH4 with Keith Allen, too. He pretty much lived with the family for a week or so, and at the end exposed them for being fake and suggested that their various businesses were shams - although he put his case a lot more forcibly than that. He confronted the entire family around the table, and managed to outwit them all at once. It was, quite seriously, one of the greatest moments in tv history. And I absolutely despised Keith Allen, prior to seeing that show. Little Lady Fauntleroy (http://www.borkowski.co.uk/e-release/fauntleroy/).

[Fangz]

Wow. That is one screwed-up family...:shocked:

[Ruth]

Yes I remember that antique dealer - he's a woman now isn't he? I hope he's happier in his life now than he seemed to be when he was younger.

The four year old kid was cute last night, but I thought the best one was the woman who had previously sung on the Meatloaf record - what a brilliant voice!

[BigSister]

Yeah I thought she was great too Ruth forgot about her. Cant beileve they nearly didnt put her through

[Dan_]

I thought the best act from last night were fortune, the group that just missed out on the final last year and Tariq was quite good and all.

[Lance]

The 4 year old kid was cool but just can't help think that he cost someone a genuine place in front of the judges.

The "MJ lookalike"'s name is James Belemy and is in fact a mate of Cassie from last year's show.They went to the same school.

[Babydoll]

lol its so funny!!

[lilmissnaughty]

Dorothy to win! :laugh:

[BigSister]

ooh thanks for that Lance over James:thumbs:

[trixie]

x factor is really cool i knew last year that tabby was going too win because he came in all confident and sang dead good i liked that boy 16 who was realy really good simon cowell said he could sell millions of records did anyone else see that one if you did post a message
from trixie

[Dan_]

But Tabby did not win. The 16 year old Trevor I thought was overated.

[KentLad4Lyf]

Rowetta was the best, followed by Cassie.
This year i like the young girl Alexandra. Amazing voice.

[ThaGazBoi]

rowetta rocked i agree!!

Dorothy all the way lol :bouncy:

He was incredibly sweet, and he had a cracking voice on him, too. Teenage girls would love him. I hope he makes it to the finals.

Yeah teenage girls, but when they get sick of him they'll move onto someone else and that's exactly what's wrong with these formatted shows.:rolleyes: He was OK,not spectacular.

TBH i haven't seen anything spectacular yet,there's potential but they need to work.

Alexandra was good though.

[Siouxsie]

that old lady ! OMG!!!

[Ruth]

I thought it was daft to put the old lady through. She's not exactly going to appeal to the people who watch these shows is she? It was a bit of a gimmick I think.

I think the best so far was the woman who sang on the Meatloaf record, and that group called The Brothers.

Yer I agree, he's not even the best looking. Teenage girls have other people with more poppy voices and more attractive than him. I could never see him making it in America! He's got an okay voice but in comparison to people like Lee Ryan, Lemar and Will Young he's not even in their league.

Nobody has been outstanding yet, I liked James Bellamy, 4tune, the brothers, Alexandra and Tariq and a couple others.

[texbex]

Did anyone see the little boy from Newcastle last Saturday, he was only 4 and he was so sweet he kept saying I have got the X Factor etc then they said if you were older we would put you through then they said well actually you are through then he ran out the room shouting I`ve won mam I`ve won then Kate goes are you sure? Absolutely sweet!

[Lance]

Yeah Kenzie was his name or something like that.Simon was like "You are through in 12 years time."

[Siouxsie]

not long to go for another laugh tonight on the x factor:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

[Dan_]

What time is it on tonight Scooby?

[BigSister]

[Dan_]

Thanks Rebeccca. I will watch it while I have my Indian takeaway.

[Siouxsie]

great show tonuight

[BigSister]

:hello:at Sharon throwing water over Louis:hello:

[skelo4eva]

[BigSister]

she did it because Louis was being really nasty all day and she had enough

[skelo4eva]

hehe gud enuf for him!!! see the rocker woman haaa

[Siouxsie]

she just went into a kink lol:colour:

[skelo4eva]

What have looks got to do with anything? Have any of the people you mention made it in America? Robbie Williams couldn't do it, so the magic formula for cracking the US market is still a mystery to most. Lee Ryan's voice isn't spectacular by any means, and his solo material is even worse than the dross he churned out with Blue - who would've thought that was possible? Will Young has an extremely average voice. He has no range whatsoever, and his vocals, like his personality, are dull beyond belief. He's no oil painting either, and nor is Lemar.

James Bellamy lisped far too much, and his voice wasn't anything to write home about, either. He was also very irritating. 4Tune actually managed to turn in a worse performance than they inflicted upon us last year - they were truly painful to listen to. The Brothers were patchy, and their harmonies were out of synch. And is there really a market today for doo-wop? Alexandra was good, but I've no idea who Tariq was at all.

Trevor may well crash and burn when it comes to bootcamp, but he's head and shoulders above the likes of James the lisping lamb as far as vocal ability is concerned.

[Fangz]

4Tune scare me. One of their members looks more feminine than most girls/women I know, yet I'm pretty sure that's not the look he's going for...:shocked:

[CharlotteSometimes]

LOL! I just wanted to slap them and say 'JUST SING THE BLOODY* SONG, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!'. I can't stand all that arrogant cod skat dancing around the song. It's just cover for a lack of ability when it takes four voices to churn out something that poor.

[BigSister]

What were they laughing about with the spanish woman I didnt get that at all:conf:

I do think Lee Ryan is over-rated, and the stuff he's doing now is worse than Blue were, which is really saying something! The only way I could watch Blue was by concentrating on the gorgeous Simon Webbe!

I think Will Young is very good at what he does, although it's not my kind of thing at all. I think Lemar is great, and very good looking.

Can someone remind who James Bellamy is please? I can't bring him to mind at all:conf: I wasn't particularly keen on 4Tune. I didn't watch X Factor last year, so didn't see them on that, but didn't think they were that good this year. I do think The Brothers are good though. They have a lot of potential. I like Alexandra, but I also can't think of who Tariq is.

I did feel sorry for that young girl last night, who Sharon had the row with Louis about, but Louis was absolutely right - she could not sing at all. He was quite harsh, but she's at stage school, so clearly wants to make it in the entertainment industry, so she's going to have to get used to a lot more rejection than that. In any event, I thought her mother seemed very pushy and it did make me wonder if this was really her mother's dream, and not the girl's dream.

her accent singing it i think

[BigSister]

ah right thanks. Ruth James is the 16 year old young black boy who was on last week

[Ruth]

Thanks BigSister. I was thinking that was Trevor, but I remember now, is Trevor the red headed guy, who Simon said was outstanding or something?

[BigSister]

yes he was quite small as well he was in the first show with Alexander and "The Brothers"

[Ruth]

I was really shocked when Sharon went back on her word on Saturday, and put that Aron through. He didn't deserve to get through, and SHaron should have stuck to her guns.

[GlitterEyes]

Yeah I agree Ruth they know how to pull on her heart strings and that isnt fair..and that makes her a bad judge because she is the easy one that they can get to.

[BigSister]

thats the bit thats annoys me but saying that Louis was annoying me last week too. Hope it gets better next week

[GlitterEyes]

I know everybody knocks Simon and how harsh he is but thats why I like watching him. 90% of the time he is being honest and espeically at this early stage in the show he needs to be blunt with people. I think they should make a new rule where people who audtioned last year can't re-apply for 2 years after they audtioned. I personally think it is unfair how many of this years appeared last year...meaning they have alot of experience of bootcamp etc and know what is to be expected so they already have a big fan base and knowledge of how the show works.

[Ruth]

I think Simon is brilliant. People say he's nasty, but like you say GlitterEyes, he's only being honest. And if they really want to make it in that business, they are going to have to get used to people being a lot more brutal than he is.

[GlitterEyes]

Can I ask who is everyones favorites so far from each age group? :spin2:
Mine would have to be Shane not sure what age group he is in, Trevor & James, The 4 lads (but not the ones who appeared last year the other one.)
Does anyone stand out in the older catogory yet? I cant think of any I like from that...

[Ruth]

There was a guy in the first show called Andy. He was a binman I think. Anyway, he is in the older category, and I thought he had a great voice. I also liked The Brothers (I think those are the ones you're on about GllitterEyes). Out of the younger category, I like Alexandra.

And almost forgot the woman who sang on the Meatloaf record. I don't remember her name, but I thought she had got a great voice. But has she got the X Factor though? Time will tell....

[Dan_]

I liked Andy from the over 25's too Ruth, he picked a good song as well which suited his voice. There was a group with two brothers who have been trying to make it for a while who I thought did well but the younger brother should have done it on his own as he had a far better voice and proably a better chance of going further. I liked The Brothers best from the groups and from the younger group I liked Tariq who was only shown on the xtra-factor but he had a good rock voice.

I see this year there will be 12 people in the final with 4 from each group.

[GlitterEyes]

Was the meatloaf one a black woman who was visting on her honeymoon or something and she launched across the desk to kiss simon?

I forgot about Alexander she was great to it will be hard in that catorgory with her, James and Trevor in it i dont think we shall see all 3 lasting into the final rounds.

[GlitterEyes]

I can't picture this andy...what did he look like? What did he sing?

[Dan_]

The Meatloaf woman was a lady with blondish hair and in her 40's.

Andy was black and bald, in his 40's and he sang a song called Song for you, I only know of it from a guy called Chip Days who sung it on American Idol 2.

[Ruth]

No, the woman from the Meatloaf record had long blonde hair. I think her name was Janet something, but I'm not sure. Anyway she had a cracking voice. But I remember the woman you're on about - it was so funny when she said "We've come away for a dirty weekend and so far it's working out pretty well" or something like that!

True, there will be a lot of competition in the under 25's category.

I didn't know the song that Andy sang - odd really, considering that I thought he was really good! He was a black guy with a shaven head, and I just remember thinking that he had a great voice.

[GlitterEyes]

Was he wearing like navy blue overalls? If so, i think i know him now.

Yeah I liked her she seemed very bubbley and had the right personality aswell.:thumbs:

[BigSister]

Andy was a binman he was the first 1 shown on the first show. I like him, Trevor, "The Brothers", Alexander, Meatloaf woman(Dont know her name sorry). Aaron(from last week), the country singer(from last week), Shane

[CharlotteSometimes]

Trevor, Shane, Chenai, Andy.

[~Kizwiz~]

is it still the auditions or is this week the boot camp?

[CharlotteSometimes]

It's still the auditions. I read somewhere that there will be 6 weeks of audition shows before bootcamp this year. But We'll soon find out of course, unless they mention it at the end of tonight's show.

[~Kizwiz~]

Damn!!!! I missed it :bawling:

I tuned in at 7 and the credits were rolling :bawling:

[BigSister]

auditions still on next week:wavey:. I liked chenai this week cant really thnk of any more

[Lance]

Yeah this week, BS, there wasn't anyone that really stood out for me. I do like Chenai though, I really liked her last year aswell though.

But there was some awful ones on there today, and what was with all the screaming?!

I didn't like that oldish lady with the short black and blue hair, there were much better there than her.

[BigSister]

lol you know when that first woman started singing my cats ears went back so much lol

[skelo4eva]

saw it breifly all i saw was the pair from little britain

[Lance]

Or the lady with no teeth!She was scary.

That first lady started off quite good and I thought she was going to be decent but man was she awful or what?:shocked:

[ThaGazBoi]

I love XFactor, I was watching it but because of the crappy weather sky went bloody funny for about 20 mins, it came back when the glamour model was on. I thought she had a good voice.

[skelo4eva]

did she get through

[BigSister]

yeah she did

[Nicola]

I liked Chenai (she was one of my faves last year) and also Joanne as they were the best ones this week.

[BigSister]

which 1 was Joanne I liked the nice girl

[katieee]

gaaaaaaaaaaaa the woman with no teeth terified me

[Siouxsie]

i didnt think it was that good tonight

[Ruth]

The woman with no teeth was truly awful - I cannot believe that she actually thought she could sing! The three girls were awful too - where the one girl sang, and the other two just clicked their fingers.

I didn't think the glamour model had a good voice at all, but she did choose a song with very high notes, so maybe the judges could see that she might be better with a more appropriate song.

Nobody tonight made me think "Wow." Well not in a good way anyway.

[BigSister]

lol those three girls as well i forgot about those as well ruth

[Princess]

the woman with no teeth scared me
the vicky pollard thing was funny as were many others

i liked the glamour model and Chenai and a hot guy i cant remember the name of

[Lance]

Oh yeah the two girls, Vicky Pollard and Co, they were well funny. Simon said: "You look like a stretched version of her," I was PMSL.

And yeah the "trio" like the Supremes, that was hilarious aswell. The erm..big lady...she was awful anyway and why did they sing Amarillo?:rolleyes:

[Ruth]

The Vicky Pollard thing was funny. I thought it was even funnier afterwards when they were arguing about Simon.

[BigSister]

Over the Amarillo thing I was thinking hug what a song to choose for X factor. The woman with no teeth scared me as well Princess

[Lance]

Ditto but I think the whole thunder effects etc had a helping hand in making her appear so scary.

[BigSister]

oh yeah i forgot about the thunder effects

[Lance]

I think Chenai is going to do quite well this year because she is a lot better, she needs to keep up the high standard though.

I still think Alexandra should be in the finals, but I'll have to see more of her at bootcamp tbh, she is very very good though.

[BigSister]

I like to see Alexander do well as well Lance

[makosifan]

i liked shenai.
I really liked her last year too so i hope she gets in.
Alexandra was good too and that guy shane.

[Ruth]

So what did people think of last night's then? I really liked Sam (the really tall guy who sang the Van Morrison song). He was the outstanding one for me.

And that little girl who came with her mum was unbelievably cute!

[BigSister]

awwwww she was wasnt she Ruth. I liked Sam as well ^_^. I will miss next weeks show though but at least im not missing boot camp

[Legend]

I thought the lil girls mum was grr8!

N how fit was that becky? bloody hell hehe!

I thought that the 3 piece girl band from LIVERPOOL lol was good too.

Oh and one last weeks i really liek that Joanne who sung fields of gold but shenai 2 win :colour:

[Ruth]

I forgot the 3 piece band from Liverpool - they were good too, especially the tall one who stood in the middle; she had a really powerful voice.

[Lance]

I really like Shanea. They called her Meg on the show, the lady with the blue and white dreadlocks. She posts on my XF forum and she's lovely.

Last night's show was hilarious again though. But there was some good acts. Like the woman who brought her child in she was very good.

I didn't like White Star, they were just a bit plain really and the arrangement of their song was awful too.

I though the three girls from Liverpool were quite good, I'm surprised only one of them was let through.

[Legend]

No Lance, the whole band was let through. It was the other 3 piece girl band who only becky got thru!

[Legend]

And the girl in the middle was the newcomer to the band werent she lol.

[BigSister]

oh yeah I forgot about Meg I remembered her Lance from when you were telling me about her

[Princess]

i liked becky,and the one with the little girl,and the trio blondes,michelle from last year (i was gutted when she didnt get through)

[Lance]

No Lance, the whole band was let through. It was the other 3 piece girl band who only becky got thru!

Oh yeah sorry I'm getting them all muddled up now.:rolleyes:

Yeah BS, I don't know why they were calling her Meg, her name is Shanea I think. But I must say she sung very well and shes lovely.

[Tanser_Man]

I love simons job.

He let's people sing, takes the piss out of them and gets paid!

:shocked:

[GlitterEyes]

lol needs a bodygaurd to watch his back though :S

[BigSister]

i think the bodyguard is great. Im confused over the 2 girl bands though:puzzled:

[Lance]

There were two girl bands last night Becca.

One were called Eskimo Blonde, they got through. They were the three Scouse girls who sang Freak Like Me, very good.

Then there was Stiletto, three girls who sang Runaway but only one (Beckie) was put through.

[Nicola]

I recognised Meg (Shanea) when I watched The X Factor last night - I was like "I know who she is!"

[BigSister]

me2 Nicola well only from Lance. Im straight on the bands now thanks Lance:thumbs:

[makosifan]

i think someone in the uder 25s wil win , they have some amazing singers so i think louis wil find it hard to decide who to put thro.
I dont realli like any of the groups this year

[Legend]

There are so many amazing under 25's and it will be really hard.

I liked the 3 girls from Liverpool hehe!

I tohught the guy with his arm in a sling tnite was good thou :spin:

[Ruth]

[Ruth]

I can understand why none of them really wanted groups. But I did like The Brothers, who were in the first episode.

[Dan_]

I thought Nicholas was good last night. Louis has a hard job picking just 4 for the final.

[Legend]

Yer he will and is it 4 this year then? I thought it was onli 3 !

[BigSister]

Yes its 4 with 12 in the final altogether

[Princess]

Oh i though it was only 3,12 is better anyway.Im backing the under 25s as most of my favs on in that catergory

[BigSister]

yeah same with me but Louis has them and I cant stand him!. The guy with sling was good

[Princess]

Yeah same here Louis drives me up the wall.I wanted simon with under 25s,Sharon with the groups and Louis with the over 25s

[Dan_]

There's about 10 good ones in under 25's. Lucky Louis eh?

[Legend]

OoOoOo that will be good then 12 in finals wont it!

Yer louis is lucky and im sooo glad others h8 louis as much as moi. He wrecks ma skulll lol.

[BigSister]

[Legend]

I liked Shane :laugh: Thought he had a really good voice :spin2:

[BigSister]

Was shane in the first episode?

[Legend]

Yer! The one who sung sacrifice! The sexy one lol.

[Legend]

OMG, sorry im having a blonde moment at the moment lol.

[BigSister]

Oh well:rolleyes: thats his loss

[bbslilspy]

lol he puts a bad name on the irish

[Legend]

Lol. He is sooo irratating!

[bbslilspy]

sharon is too easy

[Ruth]

Sharon is great. She and Simon make the show really.

I couldn't believe that they put those two twin sisters in last night, the ones who sung Waterloo! I'm sure that sometimes Louis and Sharon have just put people through to annoy Simon. Like Chico in the first episode:mad:

[Dan_]

I bet Chico get's through. Some of the acts they put through are pretty pointless.

[Legend]

Chico? Dont remember him lol.

Yer those 2 twins are on this morning now lmao :joker:

[BigSister]

Chico was on the first show he got through even though he shouldnt have

[Legend]

Oh! Awww just been remionded of holly and jessica then awwww. So sad that.

Anyway back on subject, what did he sing? It mite remind me lol.

[Dan_]

He sung kiss by Prince, he was from Morroco and was pretty cheesy.

He has his own website- www.chicomusic.com

[Legend]

Ahhh rite i know who ya mean now. He loves himself a bit don't he lol.

[Dan_]

Just a tad lol.

[Legend]

Lol :bouncy:

[Dan_]

Who are your favs so far then Legend?

[Legend]

I've got a few so far, maily from the under 25's.

I think Chenia, Shane and The girl who was on the first nite the 16 year old who sung whitney houton i think those 3 are all gr8 n ma favs.

And ma fav group r the girl group from Liverpool n Joanne n Michelle r ma fav over 25's.

How bout u ?

[Dan_]

Andy the binman, Nicholas the black lad with the green tee-shirt and shane.

Who's Chenia?

[Legend]

Sorry meant Chenai ! OoOoOo yer the binman was good aswell i liked him :thumbs:

[Ruth]

There was a girl on Saturday's show called Hieffer (not sure if that's how it's spelt), and she was really good, and got through. Anyway, I'm sure she was also in the first series of Pop Idol and got into the last 10. Does anyone else remember if this is the case? I know the girl I'm thinking of in Pop Idol was also called Hieffer and had long curly hair like the one on Saturday, and it's an unusual name. But neither she nor Simon seemed to recognise each other, so I was a bit confused. Anyone know if they are one and the same person?

[Legend]

I'm sure there weren't a hiefer in the final 10 of the first serises of pop idol.

There was -

Korben, Jessica, Aaron, Laura, Hayley, Zoe, Rosie, Gareth, Will and Darius.

But i remember a Heifer on a singing contest too and im also positive it's the same girl. I have forgot the show but it was on BBC1 a while back and she was really good. When i saw her on X-Factor i remember str8 away so it must be but i an't think of the prog *thinks* !

[Legend]

And btw im not a pop idol freak but i ma mum got the opo idol vid lmao so just looked on the cover of that lol.

[BigSister]

Ruth I had the exact same convo with my mum, she was on the final 50 and she was in Gareth Zoes heat and came 3rd I think 1% between herself and Zoe but yeah I was confused why Simon didnt recognize her either

[Ruth]

Yeah that was it, she was in the final 50. I didn't watch much of Pop Idol so I wasn't too sure. I'm sure it's the same girl though.

[Legend]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!! But im still so sure she was in a BBC1 show aswell singing contest.

I hope she goes far anyway cos she was really good.

[BigSister]

yeah Ant I remember her in a BBC 1 as well might have been Fame Academy but she didnt get through the singoffs for the 2nd 1

[Legend]

Yayyyyyy! I'm just glad i weren't imagining things lol.

Yeah maybe but the name and the blonde curly hair makes her memorable hehe.

[Dan_]

I recognised her and all, Simon must have a pretty poor memory or it's a different person which I am sure it is'nt. There have also been a couple of people that I have seen before on something and one of the black girls I have seen has been on American Idol before.

[GlitterEyes]

Ruth there was a Haifa:thumbs: She has appeared in Pop Idol, but failed to make the final 10, she was also trying to be our entry for the eurovision and she was on again on saturday...she is determined!

Also there was two black twins who appeared on x factor who also appeared on make me a model or some model show but they didnt make the final.

I dont think it is fair how bands come back year after year they have an unfair advantage when it comes to bootcamp.

[BigSister]

thanks GE that where I saw her as well

[GlitterEyes]

I think she is good but she has nothing special about her that makes her set apart from the rest. Who is everyones fave group?

[Ruth]

Thanks for the info GlitterEyes!

My favourite group so far are The Brothers, from the first episode.

[BigSister]

same with me Ruth and my mum likes a band half black and half white

[GlitterEyes]

I like the brothers from last year however i think it unfair for them to come back for another go...same with everyone else who we already know...however I like the other group of brothers alot more.

[Ruth]

Were The Brothers on last year too? I didn't watch last year's show, but I know that the other group called Fourtune or Fortune were in last year's final five. I wasn't too keen on Fortune, but I did like The Brothers.

[BigSister]

I cant remember the brothers being on last year Ruth

[Dan_]

Nah it was just 4tune.

[BigSister]

I remember those being on Dan though

[Mike]

I'm enjoying this years show but theres no doubt they have let some right idiots through, the problem has been that Simon can see who are the pathetic ones but its his one vote against Sharon and Louis.

[Ruth]

Sharon and Louis have definitely put some people through just to wind Simon up. Like Chico, and those twin sisters who were on on Saturday night.

[Legend]

I really hope simon wins :bouncy:

[BigSister]

Chico was an idiot

[Legend]

U sed it lol.

[BigSister]

:laugh: yeah I did:laugh: I really hope he doesnt get through I think he has Louis though:nono:

[bbslilspy]

Simon wont win with groups louis might grrrr

[BigSister]

If Simonm doesnt win I want Sharon too:hello:

[bbslilspy]

i hate sharon and louis just as much as each other

[Ruth]

I like Sharon, but Simon is my favourite. I'm with BigSister on this - if Simon doesn't win, I want Sharon to.

[BigSister]

Thank you Ruth:thumbs::joker:

[Dan_]

He has Sharon and I think he will get through, I thought he was amusing.

Louis will win.

[Ruth]

Yep I think Louis will win too. I was disappointed that Sam got kicked out on Saturday, but he didn't sound as good as he did in his original audition. I thought the young boy James(?) sounded pretty bad compared to his original audition too. I cannot believe that Chico is still in!

[BigSister]

Ditto Ruth I think Chico is so annoying!:nono:

[Mike]

I thought it was a joke when Chico was put through, he was pathetic in my opinion.

[BigSister]

I said to my mum Mike that if he got through to the Final 4 I would be so disapointed

[Mike]

I totally agree with you BS, i would be dissapointed as well.

[Dan_]

I think Chico is funny but pretty cheesy.

That young lad Daniel-the one with cerebal palsy should have got through.

[BigSister]

oh yay Joanne is still through I remember her from Saturday

[Ruth]

Originally posted by BB fernzy

I thought so too - he was really good. And I didn't think that James should have got through. He's as cute as a button, but I really didn't think he sang that well.

[Dan_]

I don't think him or Trevor sang that well.

[lily.]

I think trevor (or was it James.. sorry I can't remember the names) is a poor man's Michael Jackson. I just can't get into his style at all. (not that I like MJ, but you get what I mean?)

As for chico,, he is a bleedin joke!!! Did anyone else think "Chico from Puerto Rico" when he appeared. Or am I the only one who is still thinking of BB! LoL

[Dan_]

James is the poor man's MJ, he also has that lisp which makes him sound worse. Trevor's voice just annoys me.

I don't know why but Chico just makes me laugh and he's pretty entertaining,anyone see the clip of next week with him in the fountain at Sharon's house singing Vida loca :laugh:

Shane, Alexandra, Chenai and Nicholas should go through in 16-24's. Andy, Haifa, Maria and Chico from 25 and overs. Group's the brother, 4tune, Journey south and the Conway sisters.

[BigSister]

Agree with Andy and Marie Dan I would also put Brenda and Joanne. In groups I agree with all 4 and young 1 i want Trevor Shane Alex and Chenai but would be happy if Nicholas got through as well

[lily.]

ta for that Dan. I have trouble remembering their names at this stage. I thought the groups were shabby this year to be honest. There wasn't much in the way of variety. They were a bit same-ish. Nobody stands out to me yet. But, it's early days. Maybe once the stylists have had their claws into them, they might be better. Sometimes, an image change makes a huge difference too.

I agree with you about James' lisp. Also, and I know this is shallow, but, he is an ugly boy and he looks about 10 years old. Image is a factor in the entertainment industry, let's face it. Michelle McManus is 10 times better at singing than any of Girls Aloud, but its GA who are having hit singles, not MM. I'm not saying that GA are not good, but image is helping them to stay in the public eye.

[texbex]

has that one with the cerebal palsy been sent home?

[BigSister]

yeah he has

[texbex]

r shame didnt want that to happen

[Z]

*I registered on Lance's site.* :thumbs:

[skelo4eva]

i will soon

[Legend]

Sharon needs her bloody head testing putting Chico through. :nono::nono:

[BigSister]

ditto Anthony:nono:

[rachb]

I can't believe Louis wouldn't put the 16 year olds through because they weren't ready:shocked::shocked:
what's the point of having the 16-24's group:puzzled::puzzled:

[Dan_]

I think Sharon should have put Joanne through instead of Brenda.
Simon should have put eskimo blondes instead of The Conway sisters and The Brother instead of addictive ladies.
Louis Trevor instead of Phillip.

[Z]

I am in total shock about those decisions...

:mad:

[~Kizwiz~]

[Dan_]

He's entertaining :laugh:

[~Kizwiz~]

Originally posted by BB fernzy

Yes he has a certian quality that entertains but he hasnt got the voice to win... why put someone in the final 4 if they dont have a hope of winning?

[Z]

Sharon even said he can't sing that well!

Plus the public think he's an arrogant sh!t, so he's so badly going first!

[Legend]

Sharon should of put Joanne through over Chico.

Simon should of put Eskimo Blonde through over the two brothers.

Louis should of put Alexandra through over Nocholas. Louis is such a stupid man.

[Dan_]

The thing is Chenai and Alexandra were quite similar vocally and Chenai was better.

[Ruth]

Didn't see it last night, but recorded it. I couldn't resist coming on here though to find out who got through. So am I right in thinking that Alexandra, Trevor and James are out? I'm glad James went though. I really didn't think he was that good. And are The Brothers out?? I thought they were good.

Chico is still in??!!!:mad:

Is Haifa still in it?

[Legend]

Nope Hiffa is out. And so is Joanne and Ritchie.

[Dan_]

Yer final 12:Chico, Brenda, Maria, Andy, 4tune, The Conway sisters, addictive ladies, Journey South, Nicholas, Chenai, Phillip and Shane.

Thanks for that:thumbs:

I think Andy, Nicholas and Shane are great. Chico should've gone ages ago. I can't really remember much about Brenda and Maria apart from their original auditions. 4Tune are good, although not my type of thing really. I must say I'm surprised that Journey South and Addictive Ladies have got through, but The Brothers haven't.

I can't think who Phillip is:puzzled:
