grat show tonight simon was on top form as usual

I never normally watch X Factor, Pop Idol, or anything like that, but I did watch X Factor last night. I couldn't believe that Louis and Sharon wanted to put that Chico through. And what about that couple who they said no to, and they were saying that Simon is talentless and should go back to working in McDonalds?! I doubt Simon would give two hoots about what they thought - he's the multi millionaire after all, not them! The bit that made me cringe the most was when that girl went in at the end, and they said no to her, but she was begging them to give her a chance because singing was all she was any good at (although I beg to differ - her singing was not good at all) - her mum, fiance and sister literally went down on their knees, begging the judges to give her a chance. I was watching through my fingers, I was so embarrassed for them.

yer she was c**p
stupid cow, why should she think that she is special enough 2 beg through auditions.
The fiancee and mother and sister were just as bad - setting themselves up for disappointment by saying i know shes gonna win the x factor - how stupid do you get
Well done judges

Ruth,agree with you that Chico was awful cannot believe he has gotten through at all.

The first show was good,I've only gotten round to watching it because I was out for the weekend.

For anyone who missed it heer's a little re-cap:

Quote:

The new series kicks off to an eventful start with the London and Manchester auditions, in the hope of finding the act who has "The X Factor" in 2005.

The three judges - Louis Walsh, Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne - heard the first sets of auditionees, and we saw both the talented and the talentless.

34-year-old Chico sparked off the rivalry between the judges of the day. Simon had rejected him, claiming "that was awful" but was later outnumbered by Sharon and Louis, who decided that he should go through to the next round. Simon told Louis "You're making a fool out of yourself, gentleman!" after the audition.

The next auditionee, Andy, received praise and a unanimous vote from all three judges to go through to the next round. He auditioned following his shift as a binman - could he be giving up the day job?

Boyfriend and girlfriend Michael and Della, known as club act "Spirit and Destiny" were rejected at auditions by the judges. Disagreements between the pair and the judges prompted the security guards to usher the act out of the room. They later entered the "X Factor Pod" to vent their frustrations.

The final act of the London auditions was 16-year-old Alexandra whose rendition of "Saving All My Love For You" proved popular with all three judges. Another highlight included boy band " The Brothers" - these sparked a fight over which act would get the groups in time for Boot Camp.

The Manchester auditions saw dairy farmer Justin get rejected at the first hurdle, but he later returned in drag as "Justine" after a suggestion that he "came back as a woman". If his singing doesn't get him noticed, then the drag act will!

16-year-old Trevor, who arrived with his entire family, was described by Louis as "more natural than Ronan". Even Simon had something good to say about him, saying he would "sell a million records", and Kate found it unbelievable of Simon to pay such a compliment!

The most bizarre contestant was Howard, who claimed he could "resurrect John Lennon's voice". That unfortunately caused him to be rejected from the show.

The show ended with 19-year-old Sarah, a girl who was determined to follow her dreams and be a success. Unfortunately, her image and voice weren't what the judges wanted, and despite a mass protest from her fiancé and family, she was another reject. She took the news hard, breaking down in tears after the audition.

That chico was absolute sh*t!

I liked that young boy with the ginger hair, his voice was well good.

Lance · 23-08-2005, 12:38 PM

I liked Alexandra,the girl who sang 'Saving All My Love',she was quite good.

ThaGazBoi · 23-08-2005, 12:50 PM

BigSister · 23-08-2005, 01:07 PM

Ruth · 23-08-2005, 01:21 PM

Thanks for the article Lance

Wierdest audionees had to be Howard - claiming he could resurrect John Lennon's voice

- and Justin/Justine - I couldn't believe he got through the second time round!

BigSister · 23-08-2005, 01:23 PM

I hope I get to see it as im going out to a party later on if not ill have to tape it

No probs Ruth,Nicola wrote it up for our website,it's just a quick recap for anyone who wants to catch up!

I also couldn't believe that Justin(e) got through,and well Chico wasn't great,definately not good enough to be put through.

Nicola · 23-08-2005, 11:03 PM

Yeah, and I'm very proud to say the article is mine! Look out for more great things like that from me - I must be a TV reporter in the making!

Anyway, my fave so far was Alexandra, and some of the ones I wrote about were memorable, to say the least!
