X Factor Live Shows [Week 1, Discussion thread - on now!]

[King Gizzard]

oh dear this is a bit flat isn’t it

[RileyH]

ugh why is he here

[Denver]

Why the **** is the chav wearing trackies

[Oaker]

Why couldn't Niall perform instead :(

[Barry.]

It's against the rules to edit other people's posts luvvie!

I just agreed with you ;).

[Shaun]

seems pointless criticising the actual XF finalists when this is the sort of thing that can be successful, really

[Ross.]

What is he wearing

[Brother Leon]

Wtf is this. Could have at least tried to get Harry to do Sign Of The Times.

[Barry.]

Holly > Spencer > Leon > Sam > Alisah > Grace > Lloyd > Rai-Elle

imo

No Lloyd?

[Barry.]

What is he wearing

Cheryl let him wear that?

[RileyH]

why is he dancing like that

[King Gizzard]

Oh Jesus that high note

[lewis111]

He can't rely be proud about releasing this kind of music
It's so embarrassing compared to like Zayn and Harry

[Ross.]

I hope Nicole is unamused

[RileyH]

No Lloyd?

I put him in

[Barry.]

why is he dancing like that

He needs the loo.

[lewis111]

Is this his Pillowtalk

[Oaker]

wtf is this :joker: :joker:

[King Gizzard]

Whole song was completely out of his vocal range

[Ross.]

Yes keep the camera on Chez

[Denver]

Kind of fitting he found a wife who also cant sing live

[lewis111]

Liam was my fave during 1D days so I want to support him

But this is so so so bad - it's so boring, goes no where and his voice sounds so so bad

[Barry.]

I put him in

How did I miss him :joker:.

[Barry.]

Kind of fitting he found a wife who also cant sing live

HOW DARE YOU.

[Oaker]

His last single did NOT go #1 in America :skull:

[RileyH]

Kind of fitting he found a wife who also cant sing live

Cheryl is amazing:nono:

[Shaun]

Kind of fitting he found a wife who also cant sing live

:skull:

[Brother Leon]

Harry>>>Zayn>>Niall>>Louis>>>>>>>>This.


No need to confirm.

[RileyH]

'This is my favourite off the album'

How bad is the rest of it then?

[Ross.]

I'm so READY for Cheryl's return next year :love:

[LukeB]

Harry>>>Zayn>>>>Niall>>>>Louis>>>This.


No need to confirm.

All of 1D >> Zayn

[lewis111]

His last single did NOT go #1 in America :skull:

Was gonna say, pretty sure it peaked around 11 or soemthig

[Barry.]

'This is my favourite off the album'

How bad is the rest of it then?

:joker::joker:

[Firewire]

Did Chez and Liam storm out

[lewis111]

'This is my favourite off the album'

How bad is the rest of it then?

I can't even imagine
He's trying so hard to go along like JB Purpose era IMO and failing

[Barry.]

He ,means this:


US Dance/Mix Show Airplay (Billboard)
1

US Mainstream Top 40 (Billboard)
1

[Ross.]

Did Chez and Liam storm out

Nicole's glaring too much for Chez?

[King Gizzard]

Respect Louis for being really really successful with zero talent, kind of endearing

Niall = boring

Liam = prick

Harry = bit overrated, looks like a hobbit, decent chap

Zayn = will never forget how much of a little bitch he was at Boot Camp

[RileyH]

Holly, Leon & Sam :love:

[Denver]

Yesss

[lewis111]

This is the least I've cared about an XF elimination maybe ever

[Barry.]

Come on Lloyd and Alish.

[Oaker]

not the worst one :skull:

[Barry.]

Wow Grace is tall.

[lewis111]

Although I do have zero idea who could be going

[RileyH]

yass :clap1:

[lewis111]

Best from each Catagory though :clap1:

[LukeB]

not the worst one :skull:

Leon didn’t get through yet

[Denver]

Spencer is gone

[RileyH]

[LukeB]

Rai saved :love:

[Shaun]

[Ross.]

I'm Holly unable to run in that dress

[RileyH]

HOLLY :worship:

[lewis111]

The **** was that kick

[LukeB]

thank god, was starting to worry about Rai...Elle.

I knew she was safe over Leon but i was still worried a bit

[Ross.]

Praying for Spencer </3

[RileyH]

Leon didn’t get through yet

:nono:

[Shaun]

My faves are safe, my sig is safe! :clap1:

[RileyH]

[King Gizzard]

Hard brexit British public smh

[lewis111]

[Brother Leon]

[lewis111]

Both are fine, not too bothered

[Oaker]

[RileyH]

[RileyH]

Leon :fc:

[lewis111]

Haha what a mess

[RileyH]

YASS :clap1:

[Shaun]

:umm2:

[King Gizzard]

Sort of feel sorry for this chap

[Denver]

Told you all he would flop

[RileyH]

I liked Spencer this week but Leon :clap1:

[Ross.]

Let's restart and use the old format please

[Wizard.]

Wow I’m psychic

[Daniel-X]

Shshshshsh what a mess

[RileyH]

that felt so rushed

[Shaun]

didn't like him at all / found him false and egotistical but he was 100x better than Leon.

[lewis111]

He isn't the worst by any means but he didn't stand out tonight

[Oaker]

wtf his best bits had such an awkward ending :joker:

[Brother Leon]

He would have probably stayed in a sing off or judge vote. Meh anyway. There's so little suspense and drama in this new system :laugh:

[Black Dagger]

Joke.

[Ross.]

Here for Holly winning this

[RileyH]

'What was your highlight'

'Thank you everyone'

ok :umm2:

[lewis111]

Hope the winner isn't Grace
Not cause she don't deserve it but just for shock value

[Barry.]

Parents spend a lot for one week lol.

[RileyH]

come on Holly :clap1:

[Natalie.]

Even Spencer :laugh:

[lewis111]

Ugh eww

[RileyH]

please not Alisah

[lewis111]

Mess at her having to correct Dermot

[Brother Leon]

Eww.

[Denver]

Mess at Dermot

[LukeB]

Predicable but i’m not annoyed

[Shaun]

Louis throwing the other two boys under the bus :love:

[RileyH]

boring

[Ross.]

MESS Dermot :joker:

[lewis111]

Tbis make the series SOOO predictable

[Shaun]

ugh this is going to be a long series.

[King Gizzard]

Hahahaha even Dermot doesn’t get this bull**** format

[Brother Leon]

Stormzy to save this borefest:clap1:

[RileyH]

I want to go and see Pink

[Oaker]

So yeah Grace has won

[LukeB]

Tbis make the series SOOO predictable

Every series of x factor is predicable though

[RileyH]

Stormzy to save this borefest:clap1:

:clap1:

[Barry.]

Well done Grace.

[King Gizzard]

Imagine if Stormzy’s performance was the group collab, that’s be something

[Owoaje1993]

Felt that the British public who vote don't like people from other countries sara was in the sing off in the first two weeks then eventually won the public over

[lewis111]

Every series of x factor is predicable though

Not really
No one could've saw Fleur or Saara making F2
Or Andrea not winning etc

Being 6 weeks and us knowing the winner takes out any shock factor

[Ross.]

Everyone saying Alisah and then the actual winner is Grace oop

[Cal.]

Wot happened sexy ladies

[Denver]

Felt that the British public who vote don't like people from other countries sara was in the sing off in the first two weeks then eventually won the public over

Saraa was only in the sing off because of the twist she was never in the B2

[Brother Leon]

What did Dermot even say?

[Barry.]

Wot happened sexy ladies

OK singing, Spencer gone, Grace topping the top votes.

[Owoaje1993]

Agreed the problem is the British public who vote don't like people from other countries except Ireland if u think about it Sara was in the sing off in he first two weeks

[Owoaje1993]

He would have probably stayed in a sing off or judge vote. Meh anyway. There's so little suspense and drama in this new system :laugh:

Told her she was going to see Pink

[Oaker]

It hardly even feels like the X Factor tbh, it feels like one of those other ITV or BBC singing shows that get axed after 1 series

[lewis111]

I don't think people from other countries is as much of a problem as it was 7/8 years ago
Andrea, Reggie & Bollie and Saara all made the finals

[lewis111]

OMG 100%

[LukeB]

Not really

Or Andrea not winning etc

Being 6 weeks and us knowing the winner takes out any shock factor

You saw it coming as the weeks go on though and all the winners have been soooo predicable there hasn’t been a shock winner on this show, this is why strictly is better because there obvious doesn’t always win

[lewis111]

It feels like it isn't over?
Like I'm waiting for more after the break but more isn't happening

[Babayaro.]

Well tonight just proved how terrible this format is.

Half the contestants singing :umm2:
No sing-off :umm2:
One act going each night. Unfairly not being in the same vote as everyone :umm2:
The winner's vote :umm2::umm2:

[Owoaje1993]

I don't think people from other countries is as much of a problem as it was 7/8 years ago
Andrea, Reggie & Bollie and Saara all made the finals
However Saara was in the sing off in her first two performances which were good like I said I reckon the public think because his American they won't vote for him

[BBUK-Fan]

Kinda liked the format but hope as people go, all acts perform in one night and I dislike the winners vote to get the prize

[lewis111]

However Saara was in the sing off in her first two performances which were good like I said I reckon the public think because his American they won't vote for him

Suppose so
Saara done great week 1 & 2 but people weren't voting for her till she was by far the best

[lewis111]

No sing off was probabaly the thing that killed it the most for me

Made if feel unfinished and like every other singing competition show

[Owoaje1993]

Suppose so
Saara done great week 1 & 2 but people weren't voting for her till she was by far the best
I think sam was the worst but you know what it happens it's a reality show we move on in life hope everyone has a nice night

[Babayaro.]

There's no way Spencer would have been eliminated had the overs and groups performed as well.

Oh well, guess I'll be supporting Lloyd now

[LukeB]

No sing off
Acts split each night
Dermot introducing the guests and not peter and the intro
The winners prize

This is like BBUk but x factor.

[BBUK-Fan]

No sing off
Acts split each night
Dermot introducing the guests and not marcus and the intro
The winners prize

This is like BBUk but x factor.

Marcus? It's Peter Dickson, I wish it was Marcus

[LukeB]

Liam and Cheryl swiftly walking out is tibb

[lewis111]

Relley C choose the wrong year to come back, she could've easily made top 4/5 this year

[Strictly Jake]

I think spencer has been robbed I wanted Lloyd or Sam to go home spencer had so much to give

And I don't think Grace deserved the top of the vote either Alisah slayed

[lewis111]

Reading through forums and social media he new format seems rather popular :umm2: people saying it's refreshing and stuff

[Gstar]

Who the **** styled the black girl like that

[Cal.]

Why is Holly Tandy that girl you make friends with at a party, add on Snapchat and never speak to again?

[Eddie.]

Boys and Girls Week 1 Summary
Thoughts on the acts:
Rai-Elle: Nice mashup, great confidence,
but the vocals were disappointing...
Spencer: The performance was perfect, but I partly agree with Sharon's critique...
Holly: Loved her VT, and her voice and song, but she was pretty basic today...
Leon: Song choice was bad, vocals were terrible, and he had an OK stage presence...
Alisah: One word. SLAY. Flawless performance, left the haters SHOOK...
Grace: Another original song. Boring. Vocals were ok and didn't get the rose petal vibe...
Sam: He sounded out of breath...but stage presence was good...
Lloyd: He's the male version of Alisah imo...great ending for the show...
What I Thought Of The Elimination:
Leon should have gone home, over my fave to win, Spencer...guess the public saved Leon due to his looks alone and the fact that he was British...
Performance Rankings:
1. Alisah
2. Lloyd
3. Spencer
4. Holly
5. Rai-Elle
6. Grace
7. Sam
8. Leon
I don't think Grace shouldn't have been the night winner...really makes this ons of the most predictable seasons of all time...would have preferred a Alisah or Lloyd win...
My faves:
Boys: Lloyd (used to be Spencer)
Girls: Alisah
Liam's performance was weak and dull, the vocal didn't work for him, as well as the song, how did the record label let him release this...
And finally for the studio and new format, the studio was wonderful and refreshing...it was so pretty (unpopular opinion), the new format was OK, actually liked only 8 performing per night because it wasn't boring unlike when they used 12-16 per night...the new elimination was so-so, it was glad that the viewing audience had their say only, but I was sad Spencer didn't have a second chance to redeem himself...

[BBUK-Fan]

Excited for tonight show. Can't wait to see Matt, Kevin and Rak-Su perform.

[Cherie]

Reading through forums and social media he new format seems rather popular :umm2: people saying it's refreshing and stuff

I liked it, liked that they didn't bother with a Halloween theme which has been done to death, 8 songs was just enough, 16 would have dragged it out too much, the loser announced on the night ...good, only issue is Spencer leaving over Leon but the public are rubbish anyway at making decisions so let them keep making awful choices

[Morgan.]

1) Rai-Elle Williams
2) Leon Mallet
3) Holly Tandy
4) Grace Davies
5) Spencer Sutherland
6) Sam Black
7) Alisah Bonaobra
8) Lloyd Macey

[Morgan.]

Leon wasn't in the bottom 2 though - it was announced in no particular order - so for all we know it could've been Grace or Holly or Rai-Elle who were in the bottom with him.

[Eddie.]

not you with ranking Leon 2nd place!
and placing Alisah 7th, she was the best that night!

[Morgan.]

not you with ranking Leon 2nd place!

Sorry for enjoying his performance!

[Morgan.]

and placing Alisah 7th, she was the best that night!

I really don't find Alisah or Lloyd that enjoyable - there's no doubt they can sing BUT they don't have recording voices, they have theatre voices. That was cemented by the fact Lloyd sang a song from a musical. I got halfway through their Performances before my mum fastforwarded - we were both bored stiff.

[Morgan.]

In an X Factor series, I look for the Performances of those that I enjoy and want to watch time and time again, and someone that I'd like to hear on the radio.

I don't want another 1 note Sam Smith.

[Cherie]

Leon wasn't in the bottom 2 though - it was announced in no particular order - so for all we know it could've been Grace or Holly or Rai-Elle who were in the bottom with him.

He still should have left and it couldn't be Grace as she topped the vote

[Morgan.]

Sorry, forgot about that bit!

This is literally like Shareen is the main act and the other two are supporting and I don't like it :skull:

[RileyH]

I love Kevin but it's not like he's going to win </3

[Morgan.]

I think he is 16, they kept on about Rai-Elle being the youngest last night and she's 16 so ...

[RileyH]

Talia better close the show

:clap1:

[Wizard.]

I thought he’d go because he’s French but he’s amazing

[Shaun]

:flutter:

[LukeB]

I think he is 16, they kept on about Rai-Elle being the youngest last night and she's 16 so ...

I hate the word 16 on x factor they dont shut up about it especially Sharon

[Ross.]

Kevin would've benefited from the 10 week long format imo

[LukeB]

That was a great performance but i think he’s doomed :(

[Barry.]

I think he is 16, they kept on about Rai-Elle being the youngest last night and she's 16 so ...

Youngest girl. I think one is 17 and the other 15.

[LukeB]

Kevin would've benefited from the 10 week long format imo

Yes and a sing off

[RileyH]

He is amazing :love:

[Denver]

Oh snap I didn't.

[LukeB]

Is talia the next over then?

[Barry.]

Oh she is, I bet Conner and Sean are closing the show.

[RileyH]

Talia is the best over by a mile (and maybe the best in the competition lbh :love:) and she also seems popular with the public (6CC/Wildcard votes) so she could win <3

[Morgan.]

Simon, Alesha and Sharon >>>>>>>>> Nicole

[Barry.]

Talia is the best over by a mile (and maybe the best in the competition lbh :love:) and she also seems popular with the public (6CC/Wildcard votes) so she could win <3

She has a chance.

[Wizard.]

Talia is the best over by a mile (and maybe the best in the competition lbh :love:) and she also seems popular with the public (6CC/Wildcard votes) so she could win <3

[Ross.]

Any judge > sharon and nicole

Luke a secret Tulisa stan?

[Shaun]

yeah I think Talia & Rak-Su are the only two left I like.

[Wizard.]

Come on now let’s not pretend that Tracy Leanne Jefford ain’t winning. The traveller community made Paddy win CBB!

[LukeB]

Not this Sean and Conor shade

I hope they top the vote over rak-su

[Morgan.]

Nicole is one of the worst X Factor Judges ever besides Tulisa - I liked her until this year when I realised she's self absorbed, got a jealousy issue and makes ****e choices

[RileyH]

Come on now let’s not pretend that Tracy Leanne Jefford ain’t winning. The traveller community made Paddy win CBB!

we're not pretending, she isn't

[LukeB]

Are you Nicole, are you really happy
