X FACTOR 2004
 

Anybody else looking forwd to this show ? which start on Sat night I think :dance: :dance: :dance:

I may miss it saturday - off to a wedding reception - but I'm also looking forward to watching the show it should be VERY entertaining just watching Simon and Sharon arguing all the time :laugh:

It will gefo be entertaining!:hugesmile:

Im watching this also Test the nation music quiz which is also on Saturday:bouncy:

I saw this and thought that the 'good' acts were hopeless and the bad ones embarassing.

And you can guarantee that if 50000 people audition the judges will only see a few of them. These can be described in one of the following groups: genuinely talented, complete rubbish, the type that is likely to talk back to the judges or someone who will cry when rejected.

Sharon Osbourne was good though.

I know it's a bit predictable, but I have to say I love this show - some of the groups are really good! :thumbs:

yeah i liked it too Julia

I only saw the opening titles but I'm looking forward to seeing what the show's like next week!

The usual mix of really good and really bad - though I do like Sharon - she tells it like it is.

Saw the show for the first time last night it was very good, I will be watching it again.

I thought the young black man was great (the one that Louis and Simon loved, but Sharon couldn't see it), and the two rival boy bands :hugesmile: Thought the twins were fun and the old man was hilarious :laugh:

I agree Julia he really stood out as one of the best.He was very different and had an amzing voice:thumbs:

He was different yes, the old man was soooo funny hee hee

I never really enjoy the audition parts of these shows - the first time round was funny, but it's all a bit samey now. I do enjoy when it comes down to the proper shows and final heats though so role on a few weeks time :thumbs:

:shocked:i just cannot beleive some of the ones who turned up in newcastle (where im from) especially the twins god they looked like a couple of men in drag. *wow* at the 60 yr old though wot a fab body and she deffo didnt look 60 maybe 50 at the most! btw love it lol

Huey was on This Morning today talking about the show and said this next week's episode is a really good one from Ireland:elephant: :elephant: :elephant:


Ooops lol I meant Louie :spin2: :spin2: :spin2: :spin2:

Frankly I don't see any talent in any of them and that includes the judges. They are all bonkers in their judgments and comments and what ever other trashy tacky gunge that the show churns out. X factor indeed. only adults without a nervous disposition should be allowed to view it.

I am in favour of writing to Ofcom to get the de-humanised trash removed from the planet, the universe including the alternative universes and any where else one can think of to save whats left of the sanity of mankind.

The animal world does not deserve to be inflicted with humans driven insane by the droolish half baked mutterings of a group of judges that should be certified for agreeing to listen to such trash that contestants are inhuman enough to inflict on all who can't escape from a TV set.

I guess someone may have noticed that I don't like the program......:hugesmile::hugesmile:

Best so far:-

The operatic group that sang Bohemian Rhapsody
The Blind guy (but not his partner)
The Jim Morrison lookalike
The three big girls with the big voices!


I'm loving this, especially Sharon!

yeah sharon is great, I liked the operatic group but the 144 old man who said he was recarnated spooked me

This seems to be a very odd programme to me - there was Louis putting everyone through because they were in Ireland. There reasons for putting through go over my head - several who I thought were pretty good got put to one side and others who I thought were rubbish sailed through. I dont like how they keep trying to break up groups by picking on one member and saying they should have done a solo audition. Also Simon how two faced are you that girl who gave up her honeymoon - she had a great voice, but what did you say "you have got to lose weight". In Pop Idol you said size didnt matter where Michelle was concerned. Be consistent Simon. The group of three black girls with fantastic voices were told their image wasnt right, but not to lose weight.

Yeah I agree with you BB over reasons for putting through, it all seems weird:conf:

Maybe Simon has just learned his lesson and realises how fickle the Great British public is! After all, his pick on Pop Idol, Michelle, has done nothing since winning!

It's sad but if you want to be a pop star you have to be thin and good looking nowadays!

BusyBee . You have summed up all the reasons why I believe the show to be unwatchable rubbish..

A boy/girl duo and the girl was demoralized by being told she was not in harmony with the lad. To me I thought they sounded great together. These critisisms is as alway to make so called good TV. Get the viewers hot under the collar. Get the viewers to enjoy the mini drama out of hurting and destroying promising singing careers.

Talent shows throughout the ages have had panel members who make a name for themselves by destroying the ambitions of young and old talent alike. Panel members who have little talent themselves exept to mouth off and put others down.

Frankly I am sick of it. This sadism is enetertainment!!! I think not...As they reject and split the good ones and let through talentless ones I have seen better garbage in my dust bin than this "X" factor series is turning into.

i love the x factor its wel good!!!!!
:hello:

X-Factor flop Paul Holt could be on his way to winning £50,000 from Simon Cowell.

Cowell told him: "If you get a record deal and a No 1 single, I'll give you a cheque for £50,000."

Paul has now signed a record deal and the bookies make him the 20/1 sixth favourite for the Christmas No 1.

His novelty record - called Fifty Grand for Christmas - attempts to turn the tables on Cowell, says the Mirror.

Paul, 37, from Bury, said: "I think I've got as good a chance as anybody. This is an incredible bonus I never expected and I hope tyhe public can get behind me.

"Fifty grand is a drop in the ocean to Simon but to me it's four years wages. He would look like a fool if he didn;t pay up."

Cowell made his offer after rubbishing the call centre worker's attempt to cover Cilla Black's You're My World

Please dont let us have influx of X Factor rejects pushing themselves on the scene with novelty records. Wasnt it bad enough having the Cheeky Girls?

I agree Busy Bee

They are even still about....I dont think they can take the hint!lol!

GO AWAY CHEEKY GIRLS!:mad:

Anyone else having trouble working out how they have picked their last three?

Simon says that if one of them (cant remember his name) walked into his office with the other four he would give him a record contract - then goes and leaves him out of his final 3. And as for picking Verity because the public will like her - I thought this was supposed to be a 'talent contest' and he has already said that she has the weakest voice.

Cant see any of Louis' 3 making it in the real world

And as for Sharon - make your mind up girl. I bit Andy felt a bit hard done by when he saw the show and found that he was in the top three, and then she changed her mind.

Are they picking the best of who they think the public will vote for?

I agree BusyBee I thought that Andy was much better than the girl that she picked.
I really did think Simon was wrong not to put in the man that was a vocal coach he had a great voice much better than Verity.

Here's some news...

Article from Ananova

ooh thanks for that Amy

Robertas gone:mad:

Shame really and i dont like the twist of the judges having the final decision...they will be tactical:bored:

Still cant get over how on earth both Roberta and Voices with Soul got the lowest votes. They definitely didnt deserve that. To my mind Cassie and 2 to Go plus Verity. But who am I to judge. The Great British Public makes up its own mind and its true we are softies and vote for people we feel sorry for. Just hope in the future programmes people vote for performances.

Cant wait to the judges have a choice of two of their own group:thumbs:

BusyBee, both Sharon and Louis said on the ITV2 programme after the Results show that they WOULD NOT vote if the choice was between two of their own artists . . . . . . :conf:

My view on how many of the finalists have that elusive X Factor . . . . . . . NONE. A few of them are very good, but nothing different to what's already out there. The others are just plain bland. :sleep:

G4 are different but i still dont think they have the X Factor!

VWS HAVE the X Factor!

Unfortunately they're not different though, Lance.

Simon Cowell :rolleyes: recently launched a new group called 'Il Divo' which costs of 4 opera singers who sing modern songs. They currently have a version of Toni Braxton's 'Unbreak My Heart' out, and sang it on Parky's show a few weeks ago. They're very good too - much better than G4 IMHO.

The X Factor is all about the fight between the judges as far as I'm concerned - the contestants seem to come a poor second. Even the final decision as to who's eliminated each week is ultimately down to the judges. :nono:

I agree i think too much emphasis has been put on the battle of the judges rather than the talent..shame really!:blush:
