Such a great opening episode
 

I loved it and the talent was great much better improvement of recent years

Yeah, so glad they got rid of the joke acts

I liked it :love:

There was an entire segment focused on Ed Sheeran worshipping
Any opinion that is positive on this episode is wrong

Oh cmon it wasn't lol why is no one commenting on the fact the first act had the whole false acting from Simon saying "stop do you have another song?" Then suprise they have an original which went down a storm (obviously spontaneous ahem) they were either miming or singing to a backing track.

Next...Simon acting like this is the first year original songs are allowed when it's been happening for atleast half a decade shows how out of touch he is.

Looking forward to the ratings.

This year they are focusing on Original songs

Yes Simon made us very aware of that....really, really aware actually.

He's so genuine.

100% agree

Brilliant ep

Listening to fans unlike BB and vastly improved on last year

How is it any different from last year? Lol it's fun to watch but cmon they're trying to rebrand it as a competition that wants original artists yet the juke box is back for the live shows so everyone's going to be singing covers and in the auditions contestants were singing to backing tracks.

The Jukebox was axed so get your facts right before spouting ****

Tonight had empathy, talent and drama. Brilliant

Louis Walsh confirmed the jukebox was back on this morning yes I watched it after a 12 hour shift but I remember lol where's your source it's been axed?

Simon confirmed it was axed

Source? I haven't seen Simon say that but i hope it has been.

He said it at the 1st audition

Well I was to busy cooking and watching at the same time....apparently men can't multi task or was it mentioned on the show or just in the press?

well louis said in an interview its still most likely that there will be one or two "personality acts" in the live shows.

I liked Jack & Joel.

I'm sure that if they were to make the lives though that they'll be singing I'm Every Woman by Whitney Houston just to humiliate them.

I wasn't going to watch X factor as it bores me that its all singing competition, I much prefer britains got talent for different acts, however, I decided to watch it and I'm glad I did. I thought there was a lot of talent in the opening show. I especially loved Grace and the 15 year old girl that looked 25, can't remember her name but she had a fab voice
