yVbV6XUUzjk

[LukeB]

Katie Waissel saying you know what sod it in the sing off and still survives

[MB.]

Alexandra's ok.com and Kelly's "WHO KNEW YOU WERE DOIN UPTEMPO OWWWWW"

[Marsh.]

Dannii Minogue thinking she was making a hilarious joke about that Daniel switching the lyrics from him to her and suggesting he didn't need to and being met with a deadly silence.

[Marsh.]

OH and Kelly Rowland phoning in sick and doing the sore throat voice.

[RileyH]

Dannii Minogue thinking she was making a hilarious joke about that Daniel switching the lyrics from him to her and suggesting he didn't need to and being met with a deadly silence.

:laugh2:

[LukeB]

OH and Kelly Rowland phoning in sick and doing the sore throat voice.

me

[MB.]

Also this is probably more of a Konnie moment if anything, but the time Dannii got really offended because she thought Konnie was saying she'd taken her eye off the ball

"The callers! The callers!"

[LukeB]

At the start of the live shows Konnie said they were all on the live tour

[Marsh.]

Also this is probably more of a Konnie moment if anything, but the time Dannii got really offended because she thought Konnie was saying she'd taken her eye off the ball

"The callers! The callers!"

"Omg there's so much hostility!"

:joker::joker::joker::joker::joker:

[MB.]

Katie Waissel saying you know what sod it in the sing off and still survives

At the start of the live shows Konnie said they were all on the live tour

I think you missed the word "judge" in the title

[LukeB]

I think you missed the word "judge" in the title

yeah the konnie one is not related idc

but the katie waissel is still a judge moment because they saved her so it counts

[Epic.]

-I remember this one time on the Xtra factor a long time ago back I think in Ollie Murrs year where someone called in as part of the Q and A thing for judges and said that Danni and Cheryl tended to secretly band together in making decisions and weren't being fair followed by them deciding to shut the caller off. I could be remembering it completely wrong but it was pretty funny and awkward

-Tonight when Simon was asked to introduce the next act and he came right upfront and said "Uhhh I actually DON'T know who's next so let me just read this piece of paper and make it up as I go along, it's Jack and Joel! :) "

[Marsh.]

Most iconic X Factor judge moment?

Oh right :laugh:

[Marsh.]

It involved Danni so shut your fat gob.

[Jack_]

Alexandra's ok.com and Kelly's "WHO KNEW YOU WERE DOIN UPTEMPO OWWWWW"

these are all time greats

OH and Kelly Rowland phoning in sick and doing the sore throat voice.

That was worth it for this

qy3epQ0R4Mk

:laugh2:

[LukeB]

http://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9c4yzLMb41qhh6xjo1_250.gif

it's still a judge moment you flop, who saved her? the judges

the judges saving her after that is a iconic moment

[LukeB]

It involved Danni so shut your fat gob.

i just said mine isn't related, don't you even read?

[MB.]

Oh and Dannii and Cheryl vehemently refusing to stand up for Jamiroquai <3

[Jack_]

I LOVED Katie but that doesn't really count, Luke :p

I'm looking for actual things the judges said or did...just not that lol

[LukeB]

I LOVED Katie but that doesn't really count, Luke :p

I'm looking for actual things the judges said or did...just not that lol

i should have said judges saving Katie Waissel after the you know what sod it moment over someone who actually sang better. it still counts imo since they did that and fumed people and it was pretty iconic

[Jack_]

A few more:

Nicole snatching the mic off of Jahmene
Sharon walking into a door at the auditions
Sharon walking off-stage and refusing to vote between her two Girls (and protesting she's quitting) on Dermot's first live show

[Marsh.]

Sharon getting pissed and throwing herself all over Simon during Xtra Factor.
I want to say this was during the Ben Shepherd years?

Edit: FOUND IT!

VzsPO_R__qg

That music in the background, remember when Charlotte Church released music? :o

[MB.]

I guess "little Lenry Henry" and "if Berry Gordy were alive he'd sign you right now" have to be mentioned at some point

[LukeB]

Louis throwing water over an contestant during the auditions round <3

[Marsh.]

Omg the audition when Sharon walks into the door but the moment when Simon asks the woman if she is a disc jockey and she replies horses and then Louis laughs and says "I can't imagine you riding a horse" IS A CLASSIC.

[Jack_]

Genuinely the best audition ever

Ant and Seb are top 3

[Marsh.]

A shame it's ruined by Danni desperately trying to fit in and faking a laugh at the end.

[Amy Jade]

Okay.com

Wagner owning Cheryl

[Jack_]

A shame it's ruined by Danni desperately trying to fit in and faking a laugh at the end.

Yeah that always makes me cringe

When I watched the clip of Sharon storming off stage the other week, Dannii then says to Dermot 'on this is so horrible I don't want to have to do this, can I go over there too? :(', she then said the same thing for like three weeks in a row lol

I mean this was probably amid all the Sharon drama so I do feel a bit sorry for her but still

[RileyH]

When Chezza refuses to vote between TreyC & Katie and Louis babbles on about how his head and his heart feels different and we end up losing TreyC :(

[Marsh.]

TRSwTCqBGyk

Omg this made me cackle when it first aired.

[Jack_]

What about:

Simon voting off his own act
Simon's 'oh ******' when he gets the Overs in 2015 and then his savage comments at Six Chair
Simon's 'I never thought I'd be saying this, but...we're gonna bring back Louis Walsh' <3333333

[Lush]

When Cheryl confronted Wagner live on air for his 'council estate' comments :joker:

[Marsh.]

When Cheryl confronted Wagner live on air for his 'council estate' comments :joker:

Aww, I felt bad for him. She completely misconstrued his comments.

[Epic.]

Louis calling Wagner "Wag-ner" for 8 weeks straight despite repeatedly being corrected on it >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Lush]

Aww, I felt bad for him. She completely misconstrued his comments.
He did seem genuinely gutted tbf. She got a lot backlash for doing it from what I remember (she had plenty of backlash that year in general though).

[RileyH]

TRSwTCqBGyk

Omg this made me cackle when it first aired.

her aussie accent :laugh2::skull:

[Marsh.]

Aww, I miss when Graham was on BBC 2 with lower profile and irreverent guests doing funny sh*t.

[Morgan.]

The time there was a joke act on in the auditions, and Simon had to send Louis, Sharon and Dannii (or Cheryl I forget) out of the room one by one because of how much they laughed :joker:

[Withano]

Think it was series 2

Louis saving the Conway Sisters for a 2nd time because they were Irish, forcing Simon to eliminate his own act because there was an actual mob yelling for death pretty much behind him.

[UserSince2005]

My favourite was when Louis said that he could see some act on bedroom walls, and then the rest of the judges thought he was talking about ****ing the act and then he had to explain awkwardly that he meant posters. It was hilarious

[Amy Jade]

'a young lenny henry' :laugh2:

[Nicky91]

umm, perhaps Lorna Bliss crawling over the judges table, and on top of Tulisa and then Gary Barlow running away from her :laugh:

[Lush]

This exact moment was amazing too:

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/08/21/article-0-0D823D8700000578-703_634x405.jpg

It was some rude contestant who came on and called Tulisa "a dog" and both Tulisa and Kelly were having none of it :laugh:

[supertv247]

Sharon not knowing Saara's name :skull: it was hilarious but also so hard to watch for some reason. There was something up with Sharon last year!

[supertv247]

omg. Rylan scaring Nicole on Halloween last year was hilarious

[Headie]

None come close to this BGT moment

oVG3TVa3iBI

[supertv247]

Louis' surprise at Tulisa being able to sing after her duet with Little Mix. (tbf we were all surprised)

[Ross.]

The fag ash breath comment from Gary made losing Simon from the panel for 3 years worth it

[Ross.]

g1xBMlSqQ98

What a SCREAM this is honestly why did they axe it

[Marsh.]

Ugh that clip reminds me how much I don't miss Dermot wittering on for an answer.

But Louis going from Carolynne to Rylan to deadlock to Dermot practically forcing Carolynne off stage. :joker:

[Jack_]

g1xBMlSqQ98

What a SCREAM this is honestly why did they axe it

By far the best ever final showdown <3

It just had everything :love: Richard Holloway whispering to Louis during Carolynne's performance :love: Dermot saying 'okay Louis I need an answer and I need one quickly' before Louis then takes two minutes to make a decision :love: 'LOUIS?? NOW!' :love: Gary saying 'thanks for making this decision incredibly easy for all the judges' :love: and saying to Nicole in the background 'it's not entertaining' :love: Louis' spiel about loving country music as they're about to fall off air :love: Louis saving Carolynne and her getting excited :love: 'I WANNA TAKE IT TO DEADLOCK' *audience screams* :love: Gary in the background 'why Deadlock??!??!?' :love: Gary walking off stage :love: oh, and this face:

:love:

AMAZING TV :cheer2:

[Withano]

God i love Louis. He should be all four judges.

[Amy Jade]

Carolynne was robbed though Rylan was abysmal and she was admittedly not great on the saturday but her 'save me' song was brilliant

[reece(:]

Carolynne was robbed though Rylan was abysmal and she was admittedly not great on the saturday but her 'save me' song was brilliant

True, it would've been better if it was one of the crapper singers vs Rylan

[Jack_]

Carolynne was just fodder though, she was destined for very little regardless

It's the hilarity of Louis dragging it out that made it so iconic

Any last suggestions? Poll up soon!

[RileyH]

idk if this counts or not but the whole zoe alexander thing was iconic

Forgotten iconic one is Louis' Limericks

[Jay28jay2]

[Withano]

That OP is a ****ing scream. Completely lost it at Sharon asking Louis what Saaras name is though hahahhaha.

[Withano]

Jahmene actually 'reacted'* to that Nicole snatching his mic, its quite interesting. Apparently she was losing her **** backstage cos her mic didnt work and Jahmene could hear it all in his ear whilst he was trying to sing the first verse

*using that term loosely.

Last weekend to vote!

[y.winter]

I've only watched last year's so I voted for poor Saara. But the Danni outing one and the Steve Brookstein one were mad watching it now :nono:

Can someone elaborate on the little lenry henry comment? I'm not familiar with the man and whatever the subtext of it...

Lenny Henry is a well established British comedian and the co-founder of Comic Relief

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/640x360/p04kcqjq.jpg

Louis' comment was hilarious cause comparing a singer to a comedian is bizarre and futile
