I like all Simon's groups i hope he wins. I really like Matt Cardigan or what ever he's called, the cheeky painter chappie and Aidan is adorable.

I think I know what the twist is (well, can't be 100% sure, but I'd be very surprised if that wasn't it). Can you do spoiler tags on MN?

bellavita · 03/10/2010 21:18

I think they are going to send in someone/band from each group that has had a no and then let the public decide who stays.

TootaLaFruit · 03/10/2010 21:18

Yes, I like Aidan too but my sister thinks he looks crazy behind the eyes.

minxofmancunia · 03/10/2010 21:19

YABU, only because Cheryl has had nowt to do with it, totally in the hands of the producers, the blonde madonna circa mid 80s irritant is purely in there because of the Gaga effect that's currently rampaging through the music industry. Nothing whatsoever to do with talent, I thing Cowell and his producers cottoned on to that after the whole "Jedward" thing last year. Tis no longer about about talent Sad.

Chere is equally as annoying and quite horrible but has already generated many mant culumn inches, and the girl makes Cheryl look like she's got chunky thighs FGS!!

The fact that the 2 manufactured bands got through is laughable, and so predictable.

Shhhdonttell · 03/10/2010 21:19

I wonder what the twist is as well... Hopefully it will be Katie can't take the pressure so Gamu will come back... [goes off into own xfacor fantasy world]

Cher sees to me to be mentally unstable - talking really slowly - weird! shes only 16 i think its all too much for her.

when cheryl said to her 'would you like to try again later' and she said 'no im done' - stange thing to say by someone who wants it soo bad.

maybe its cos of the press attention the blonde diva and her have been getting.

withorwithoutyou · 03/10/2010 21:20

Something about a lifeline for a fourth act in each category I think.

Katie is so fake and disingeneous - she comes across like she's acting all the time, wouldn't surprise me if she is actually a journalist or a stage school type being paid by a paper to get all the undercover stuff on the x factor.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 03/10/2010 21:21

Oh Gamu will deffo get in if its a publicly decided wild card scenario - yay! :)

Shhhdonttell · 03/10/2010 21:22

ooooh withorwithoutyou I like your conspiracy theory!!

I am very suprised CHer hasn't been pulled she is really not looking very stable she swings her jaw about a lot i wonder if she might be on drugs or do they test them for that sort of thing? Whatever it is she looks ill.

bellavita · 03/10/2010 21:23

Usual, that is what I said Grin

AgentProvocateur · 03/10/2010 21:30

Cher looks, to me, like she has some kind of substance abuse problem, as well as being very mentally fragile. I hope it's not too much for her.

Marney · 03/10/2010 21:30

Gamu should have gone through was she a threat to cheryl should cheryl really pick out of girl singers the other girl sent home cant remember her name had come back from last year she was amaxing as well.iTS SUPPOSED TO BE THE X FACTOR GAMU HAD IT

KiwiKat · 03/10/2010 21:31

Whilst I would be delighted if Gamu and Marlon got in, I think it's a travesty that Katie was selected at all. Am just so bloody cross about it!!!

prozacfairy · 03/10/2010 21:31

YANBU but then there was some very questionable choices all round. Cheryl didn't choose her catergory, none of them really do. The evil mastermind behind it all will be simon.

He loves a good old fashioned cash cow, hence Cher and Katie going through instead of the lovely Gamu.

amelem · 03/10/2010 21:35

I'm sad that Paije didn't get through, he was so cute with a lovely voice.

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 03/10/2010 21:36

Picking Katie over Gamu was a travesty. Her voice is not, and never has been as good as Gamu's.

bigchris · 03/10/2010 21:38

Oh yes I wanted Paije too

kittywise · 03/10/2010 21:39

x factor gets more tedious by the year, more fake, more contrived , however, I still seem to watch it , for the children you understand < slaps self round face>

mayorquimby · 03/10/2010 21:39

So am I the only one who thought "thank fuck Gamu didn't get through"? could not stand her.delighted to see the back of her.

I wanted to take her blimming parasol and shove it up her simpering, fake jacksy.

spat out my tea, totally agree with everyone on here. i loved gamu and am so disappointed that she didnt get though, but hopefully she will get a lifeline. katie is vile. but should try the RSC, more suited to her talents. cher has serious issues. she looked so fucked up last night, it was painful. i want rebecca to win, she is soooooo talented.

i predict a rebecca/matt final.

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 03/10/2010 21:40

I think Cher was looking and sounding so fragile because she had tonsillitis, kylesmybaby. I am a singer, and have sung with a sore throat, and I have had quinsy (which is like tonsillitis) and fwiw, I think she sang as much as she could, and then literally had NO voice left.

It really hurts even to talk with tonsillitis, so her talking slowly is not a surprise for me.

PlumBumMum · 03/10/2010 21:41

YANBU I think Cheryl is trying to boast her own ego with her choices

look how I turned these girls from quivering wrecks to superstars,
Poor Gamu should have went through

I like to see the good in everything but the first thing I said to dd1 was, this is all a set up
