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

[lewis111]

Didn't see a thread

[Shaun]

Couldn't see one :suspect:

[lewis111]

Mess at no replacement Judge surely Alesha isn't that busy

[Shaun]

Stage looks like the old-fashioned (Kate Thornton days) one :worry:

[Barry.]

poor Simon.

[lewis111]

Really hoping for a Talia vs Nicole feud throughout the series

[Barry.]

Really hoping for a Talia vs Nicole feud throughout the series

Here for it.

[lewis111]

Ok so I NEED that prize

[Denver]

I want that prize

[Brother Leon]

This is so dumb. Bring back Sing off and Judge decision smh.

[Wizard.]

No I like the sing off. Fuq you Syco!

[Wizard.]

This feels like a cheap entertainment show

[Barry.]

Same sing off was amazing.

[Natalie.]

Hate all the changes

[lewis111]

This series has had the lowest ratings ever so live shows will be even worse so hopefully this format will only last 1 series

[Shaun]

I am over Dermot O'Leary, bored of him.

[Barry.]

Aww no Halloween week?

[Shaun]

oh wow the Rai-Elle hatchet job begins </3

[Wizard.]

oh wow the Rai-Elle hatchet job begins </3

The young Relly-C

[lewis111]

If Meghan Trainor expresses you I'm unstanning bbz

[Oaker]

Wasn't last years week 1 theme Express Yourself too :think:

[lewis111]

Chances of Grace getting the pimp slot?

[King Gizzard]

Not digging the tiny studio, makes the show look small time

And already confused by the winners concept. They expect the viewer to care about sending one of them on a lavish holiday?

[lewis111]

Crazy Eyes?

[lewis111]

Pretty sure Tamera Foster had this exact staging

[Wizard.]

If this was last year Sara would’ve gone week 1

[Shaun]

I like both songs individually but they don't go together :worry:

[reece(:]

What's the point of the judges if there's no sing off?

[King Gizzard]

Simon heard rap for the first time this year didn’t he

[Barry.]

it was ok.

[lewis111]

What's the point of the judges if there's no sing off?

To pick out of the top 2 who gets to go to New York tbh

[LukeB]

Rai-Elle raps better than Rak-Su. She did that

[lewis111]

I love her but that was so so average
Will probably be the best of the night as well

[Brother Leon]

Simon heard rap for the first time this year didn’t he

Everybody wants to spray some bars in their songs now :laugh:

[Wizard.]

Is it just me or would this work better on Big Brother? Like if you survive eviction you get a prize

[Shaun]

Meh it was alright. Hope she makes it to perform something better.

[Barry.]

Dermot is meh tonight.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

anyone who says spencer is hotter than sam needs to fight me right now

[Barry.]

anyone who says spencer is hotter than sam needs to fight me right now

Mmhmm.

[lewis111]

Idc just sing

[Shaun]

He seems a bit... dead behind the eyes

[Barry.]

Sob story?

[lewis111]

He seems a bit... dead behind the eyes

Yea I don't feel any passion with him at all

[King Gizzard]

Has this guy been on something before? Familiar face

[lewis111]

He's better with more rock songs when the rasp in his voice comes out

[Shaun]

Andrea Faustini is unbothered

[Denver]

The vocal is terrible

[RileyH]

Am I missing anything by not watching? I'm out atm and will probably just watch the performances when they're on YT

[Wizard.]

Louis is a scream!

[Oaker]

The new set has too much going on :worry:

[Barry.]

Am I missing anything by not watching? I'm out atm and will probably just watch the performances when they're on YT

Not really.

[Wizard.]

Oops at the Matt Terry fake crying. I need Simon back for a bit of honesty

[Barry.]

5/10.

[lewis111]

Am I missing anything by not watching? I'm out atm and will probably just watch the performances when they're on YT

You are making the Correct descision

[Withano]

Raielle was massively underwhelming. This guys **** too.

[Barry.]

Go Sharon.

[King Gizzard]

TThis dude is so false

[Ross.]

Get Cheryl on the panel NOW!

[Barry.]

Get Cheryl on the panel NOW!

Where is she?

[Oaker]

Cheryl is definitely coming back next year :laugh:

[Ross.]

Where is she?

In the front row luvvie

[Ross.]

I'm Nicole being fumed at Talia coming back AND Cheryl promo in one night

[Barry.]

I am a few seconds behind lol.

[Barry.]

I'm Nicole being fumed at Talia coming back AND Cheryl promo in one night

its because she was up for a NTA award.

[Daniel-X]

Rai Elle is one of my favourites but jc that was bad :omgno:

[Shaun]

this is nice enough

[Daniel-X]

Holly is really good vocally but I just wish she was a bit more interesting

[Oaker]

:clap1:

[LukeB]

What song is this?

[lewis111]

Holly is really good vocally but I just wish she was a bit more interesting

I feel the same

[Brother Leon]

What a boring start.

[Barry.]

Holly is good.

[lewis111]

If she gets more stage presence and confidence she could become the best
Great voice she just seems very awkward

[Ross.]

Holly the best so far

Rai-Elle was so underwhelming

[Barry.]

What song is this?

Tori Kelly Hollow.

[lewis111]

It's weird that some of the contestants are actually younger than me now
Whenever I watch the X factor I forgot I'm not still like 11 cause that's when I was most obsessed with it cause it was at its best

[Ross.]

I don't know if I like the new set or not

[lewis111]

Aww he seems nice
Shame he got an awful song choice for week 1

[Denver]

Leon just won

[Shaun]

Hope he's packed.

[lewis111]

4 OK preformances thus far

[Oaker]

That was alright tbh

[Ross.]

I liked him but thought he was awful at Judges Houses

He's lowkey won me over again

[Barry.]

Hope he's packed.

:joker::joker:

[lewis111]

I agree with Nicole awful song choice
He sang better in his VT

[Oaker]

The fact that Alisah has been sent home like 3 times already and is now in the live shows is a scream

[Shaun]

the Philippines sure love Bang Bang huh

[Ross.]

I love how Shaz only turns up on like the last day of rehearsals :love:

[Denver]

Makes me sick how this talentless bitch is in the lives and Gaga Lord isnt

[lewis111]

The judges being so nice is actually the thing putting me off the most
Where's the critique apart from "move around better" - no one has been great before but got no constructive criticism

[Matthew.]

Omg she is amazing

[Denver]

All she does is shout

[Shaun]

imagine Jordin Sparks getting some promo and it isn't 'Battlefield' :oh:

[Barry.]

Makes me sick how this talentless bitch is in the lives and Gaga Lord isnt

But she can sing.

[Denver]

But she can sing.

Gaga Lord he is not

[Wizard.]

Ha winners single?

[Denver]

That souded Eurovisiony

[Shaun]

:clap1: fair play

[LukeB]

That vocal :love: the best of the night

[Barry.]

Amazing.

[Ross.]

The judges being so nice is actually the thing putting me off the most
Where's the critique apart from "move around better" - no one has been great before but got no constructive criticism

Yeah this along with the Voice-style stage is annoying

[Wizard.]

Sharon winning X Factor 2017 :clap1:

[lewis111]

Not Lloyd closing the show

[Denver]

Mess at the worst boy closing the show should have been Sam

[LukeB]

That felt like a winners single and it probs a better winners song than last years and forever young

[Shaun]

did Stevie Wonder style Grace?

[RileyH]

damn Rai-Elle was bad like jesus
Spencer was great I loved it :love:

[RileyH]

the new set is cute

[Barry.]

Spencer was great I loved it :love:

Really?

[RileyH]

Really?

yes :nono:

[Ross.]

That felt like a winners single and it probs a better winners song than last years and forever young

As self appointed head of the Louisa Johnson appreciation society I BANISH LukeB

[LukeB]

As self appointed head of the Louisa Johnson appreciation society I BANISH LukeB

Even Louisa would agree:nono: Louisa doesn’t like forever young

[Ross.]

Even Louisa would agree:nono: Louisa doesn’t like forever young

As fans we have to delude ourselves and say it's great!

[LukeB]

As fans we have to delude ourselves and say it's great!

It’s on my playlist tbf :nono:

Would have been great as live show performance

[Denver]

Why has Liam got slits in his eyebrows? is he 12 :umm2:

[BBUK-Fan]

Show feels fresh and set is very good.

[Shaun]

Why has Liam got slits in his eyebrows? is he 12 :umm2:

just as cool as Migos isn't he

[BBUK-Fan]

Rooting for Lloyd!

[LukeB]

I rather Rita Ora perform anyway than Liam with his song

[Oaker]

The show feels so empty without the groups and overs

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

my god how is sam so ****ing hot

[Wizard.]

This is a bit flat

[King Gizzard]

**** is this

[Shaun]

RIP Olly Murs

[LukeB]

This is weak

[Brother Leon]

Seems a nice guy, but it's ****e.

[Denver]

Best of the night

[BBUK-Fan]

Judging by so far, Sam should go

[Shaun]

Timing seems a bit off :suspect:

[LukeB]

Messy performance

[Barry.]

Not good.

[BBUK-Fan]

Worry he will get through down to looks

[Ross.]

I don't know what to say

[Shaun]

Not great but better than Leon so meh

[Wizard.]

Not skinny legs

[RileyH]

Holly was great

[LukeB]

Sharon avoiding Louis’s comments by changing the topic

[Denver]

Bearing in mind he had no voice until yesterday he did a great job

[Barry.]

Will she ever sing a cover?

[BBUK-Fan]

Will she ever sing a cover?

She's probably bad at singing so only does her own songs

[King Gizzard]

Want to kill myself everytime I hear the words “original song”

Probably written by Syco writers

[Brother Leon]

Another 50mins... ****ing hell.

[BBUK-Fan]

I think every act should at least do a cover and not always originals

[Daniel-X]

There's always one act I absolutely loathe every year and Grace seems to be stepping into that role quite nicely.

[Denver]

That was a winners type performance

[Wizard.]

The next Adele BOOKMARK ME

[BBUK-Fan]

There's always one act I absolutely loathe every year and Grace seems to be stepping into that role quite nicely.

I'm the same between Grace, Alisah and Sam

[Shaun]

I've had enough of rose petal gimmicks this year

[Denver]

I think every act should at least do a cover and not always originals

Why should they?

[RileyH]

I've only just put it on so I only saw half of it but she was amazing

[Ross.]

The first Grace performance I've liked

[Oaker]

I feel like shes gonna fall apart when they make her sing an upbeat cover song

[LukeB]

The next Adele BOOKMARK ME

No, she’s more like Anne Marie but instead of bops its slow songs

[Barry.]

She needs to do a pop song.

[Shaun]

was basically an Adele b-side but meh she's alright

[LukeB]

The first Grace performance I've liked

Her audition and 6CC were better

[King Gizzard]

Don’t think they’re going to give any of the scouted already established artists negative feedback are they

[BBUK-Fan]

Why should they?

Because they hide away doing original songs and we can't judge it as much because we don't know the song. Singing a cover means we can judge it better

[Ross.]

I feel like shes gonna fall apart when they make her sing an upbeat cover song

Yeah definitely

A Janet Devlin tea

[RileyH]

Alisah was decent tonight but I still don't like her

[Denver]

Because they hide away doing original songs and we can't judge it as much because we don't know the song. Singing a cover means we can judge it better
They should make Original songs a must

[LukeB]

I forgot it was express yourself so i don’t think Rak-Su will do a spanish song but it probs still be generic and a neyo/usher b-side track like all of their stuff

[Ross.]

Her audition and 6CC were better

https://media1.tenor.com/images/34ef00e208d5b0b86abbc06e784b2e32/tenor.gif?itemid=7203364

[BBUK-Fan]

They should make Original songs a must

I think they should at least do both

[lewis111]

I'm 5 mins behind but watching ads so I can still skip Liam

[LukeB]

https://media1.tenor.com/images/34ef00e208d5b0b86abbc06e784b2e32/tenor.gif?itemid=7203364

Keep it
http://i.imgur.com/V8ODXiG.gif

[BBUK-Fan]

Live Tour tickets already. We're still deciding who we like

[RileyH]

Leon was great tonight what's with all the hate

[BBUK-Fan]

Be funny if a wildcard goes, public pays to keep them in and don't have enough to save them :)

[Morgan.]

Wow just noticed the acts all have their own Artist logos that come in before each performance - they've never dont that before but I like it!

[Barry.]

Be funny if a wildcard goes, public pays to keep them in and don't have enough to save them :)

Wasn't voting on the app free?

[LukeB]

Alisah was the best tonight and just about because everyone has been ok or meh Grace being second best

[BBUK-Fan]

Wasn't voting on the app free?

Yeah.

[RileyH]

how many are left

[Barry.]

Alisah was the best tonight and just about because everyone has been ok or meh Grace being second best

Agreed.

[Ross.]

Keep it
http://i.imgur.com/V8ODXiG.gif

You little bitch

[Shaun]

hope Lloyd does City of Stars justice bc I love the song, but otherwise don't really care about him :shrug:

[Barry.]

how many are left

1, Lloyd.

[lewis111]

Grace was good enough but she's very one note
She can do one style but just like Emily the public will get bored and force them to do somethin different and she'll fall hard

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

does anyone else find lloyd hot

[Shaun]

scott is it just me that finds him more attractive than Spencer too?

[Barry.]

does anyone else find lloyd hot

Me lol.

[RileyH]

spencer isn't hot

[Shaun]

does anyone else find lloyd hot

scott is it just me that finds him more attractive than Spencer too?

https://media1.tenor.com/images/57577ea415fe9a444aec8502f7fb984c/tenor.gif?itemid=5962331

[RileyH]

Alisah was the best tonight and just about because everyone has been ok or meh Grace being second best

don't be silly

[King Gizzard]

Classic Louis song choice

[Brother Leon]

What a song :clap1: best thing about that overrated movie.

[Morgan.]

Alisah was one of the worst besides Sam and most probably Lloyd

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

scott is it just me that finds him more attractive than Spencer too?

:clap1:

[Ross.]

This song <3

[LukeB]

don't be silly

You think Leon was good so i’m not surprised

[Vanessa]

This guy has got a great voice. I love him! :clap2:

[Barry.]

don't be silly

https://i.imgur.com/74m9lpe.gif

[RileyH]

You think Leon was good so i’m not surprised

Leon >> Alisah

[Denver]

He just doesnt suit the show

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

the best of the night :love:

[Vanessa]

:clap1:

[RileyH]

I want to like this but it's so average

[LukeB]

Leon >> Alisah

Only because you dislike her and your bias

[Barry.]

Leon << Alisah


fixed.

[RileyH]

Only because you dislike her and your bias

oh shut up

[RileyH]

fixed.

:nono:

[Shaun]

Love the song but it's so understated that it doesn't really work on shows like this :laugh:

[BBUK-Fan]

Lloyd did amazing!

[Barry.]

Ok Lloyd was great.

[Oaker]

Rai-Elle and Sam were the worst 2 imo

[Morgan.]

You think Leon was good so i’m not surprised

He was good tho

[Barry.]

He was good tho

He was ok.

[Denver]

He was good tho

People just think shouting means you are good

[LukeB]

He was good tho

He wasn’t, his vocals were awful because the song didn’t suit him

[Vanessa]

This guy could be the dark horse. :hee:

[LukeB]

People just think shouting means you are good

Shut up

[Oaker]

How long is voting even open for

[RileyH]

idk whether to have Talia, Leon or Holly as my favourite :worry:

[Barry.]

This guy could be the dark horse. :hee:

Agreed. Dark horse.

[Ross.]

Pray for Rai-Elle getting a second chance

Bring back the old format!

[Barry.]

idk whether to have Talia, Leon or Holly as my favourite :worry:

Holly so far out of the three.

[RileyH]

not 12 and a half minutes :skull:

[Shaun]

*panic votes for Rai-Elle*

[Denver]

Rae-elle should go based on all performances

[LukeB]

Sam and Leon were the worse tonight

[RileyH]

2 for Holly, 2 for Leon, 1 for Sam :D

[Firewire]

Lloyd is so dreamy

[Barry.]

Good luck Sam.

[Vanessa]

Voting for Lloyd. I love him! :love:

[Barry.]

Lloyd is so dreamy

http://gifimage.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/golden-girls-gif-22.gif

[Matthew.]

I’m using my 5 votes for Alisa, sorry but Rai-Elle felt too “in your face, it’s all about me” in my opinion

Also, Grace reminds me too much of Katie Waissell, and I can’t stand Katie ****ing Waissell.

[Denver]

I am glad Filipinos dont have enough time to scam the votes

[Barry.]

I am glad Filipinos dont have enough time to scam the votes

You think she is going?

[LukeB]

I am glad Filipinos dont have enough time to scam the votes

It takes a minute to change things...

[Ross.]

Holly was the best confirmed

[Barry.]

Lloyd was the best today.

[RileyH]

Holly was the best confirmed

:worship:

[Denver]

You think she is going?

Well no but she will be bottom half of the votes

[Barry.]

Lloyd was the best confirmed

Agreed.

[Shaun]

as long as Leon goes I am happy

not setting the bar very low this year

[Ross.]

Agreed.

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

[Denver]

Grace was the best confirmed with Sam and Leon so close behind

[Daniel-X]

Excited for Tracy Leanne winning tomorrow

[LukeB]

Live show 1 was weak and i have no hope tomorrow.. talia and the cutkelvins are the only great ones

[RileyH]

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

imo

[Denver]

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

Me when the mods edit my sig

[Denver]

I feel Spencer is going

[Morgan.]

3 for Rai-Elle and 2 for Leon I voted.

[Shaun]

Me when the mods edit my sig

try not exceeding the GIF limit, then

[Ross.]

Live show 1 was weak and i have no hope tomorrow.. talia and the cutkelvins are the only great ones

Not this Sean and Conor shade

[RileyH]

Sean & Conor are awful

[LukeB]

Not this Sean and Conor shade

They aren’t good though

[Ross.]

Ugh I wanna sit next to Cheryl

[LukeB]

Is Dermot doing all the guest intros?
