Do you remember Kate wessell saying she wants to be famous in medicine, she wants to create a legacy. 6 months shell be forgotten I hope!! Do like Rebecca very much!

Mumcentreplus · 03/10/2010 23:59

The reason I can't stand X-factor is because ultimately its about ratings...sometimes some get through who are truely gifted and talented...but places are wasted with rubbish for pure crap-factor and I think thats unfair and rubbish

Mumcentreplus · 04/10/2010 00:04

Cher is a drug addict/user..I've seen enough to know..my Dh said it immediately and he's a pro..Grin..seriously she should not have been a first choice...her or katie

SixtyFootDoll · 04/10/2010 07:58

Yes Katie being top in medicine?!! PMSL!!

tootiredtothink · 04/10/2010 08:27

tbf Katie has a good voice - but totally fucked up audition so should be there.

Gamu was lovely but the one I thought should have gone through was the girl with afro.

Will i am even said after her audition that she has 'it'. She was fab Angry.

Would refuse to watch but I have no life so will be drawn in Grin.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 04/10/2010 08:28

A lot of them said at boot camp they just really wantto be famous and have the lifestyle, nothing about really wanting to sing....

lucky1979 · 04/10/2010 08:32

They've got them living in the X Factor house by now, if Cher was a tweeker then they would know about it. They're utterly immoral, but they're not stupid and drug addicted 16 year olds don't fall into the "all publicity is good publicity" catagory. Look how effectively they edited out Shirleena when they thought that the publicity might turn bad. I think it's more likely she was full of tonsilitus medicines (which might make her look a bit speedy) and very stressed.

I didn't think Gamu's voice was all that (athough Katie going through was a travesty - I liked Kerri). There was a really shouty tone to her voice, she sounded like she was straining to me.

SunnyDays06 · 04/10/2010 09:34

Yes but Cher was like this even before her tonsilitis bout! A user can hide it very very well from those who do not know!!

DetectivePotato · 04/10/2010 09:43

I was thinking the same last night.

I think Louis put the best ones in from his group. He didn't have a great selection anyway.

I knew Simon was going to put the 2 'manufactured' bands in. What a joke to the actual bands that applied and I really liked The Reason. Hustle were irritating though. I wanted to shave that lead singers head.

Knew Cheryl would put Cher through. Was very very surprised she put Katie over Gamu. Gamu was amazing. Katie is irritating as fuck and messed up twice. Funny how the ones that have been getting loads of coverage in the papers have gone through.

Agree with 2 of Dannii's choices but that awful Nico or whatever he is called? Paije, the other 2 black blokes (one was likened to Lewis Hamilton) and the one with the big stone earring was much better. Nico isn't half as good as he thinks he is and the public won't like him.

All judges get a wildcard but Gamu doesn't get through because of visa issues, wildcard goes to TreyC. In another twist, Katie gets disqualified for having a U.S record contract under the name of Lola Fontaine so Gamu eventually takes her place....

conkie · 04/10/2010 09:50

I am glad Gamu didn't get through. Never liked her from the beginning.

Am I the only one who likes Storm???

GetOrfMoiLand · 04/10/2010 09:50

I am so with the people who are Hmm about Gamu. I thought her first audition was tripe. Am glad she is out, was sick of all her CONTRIVED crying.

I like Katie. Yes fake and contrived as well, but at least she is looking like she is having a laugh with it all.

Cher 16? She looks like Barbara Cartland. DO NOT GET her at all. Stop fucking crying you flake.

LOVE the arrogance of Nicolo.

Much prefer the contestants who have entered for fun, rather than to change their life/say thanks to their mum/get them off benefits or whatever.

Hopefully the wildcard is Nicole Skirtswinger coming back - Dannii and Cheryl are put to the vote and the one with the least votes will be replaced by Nicole. Is that too much to hope for?

IUsedToBeFab · 04/10/2010 09:53

Katie should have been out and Gamu in.

daftpunk · 04/10/2010 09:55

And I was bigging up the fatty from tescos, thinking all she's ever done is sing to the frozen pizza...she's won competitions all over Ireland!

noeyedear · 04/10/2010 09:55

That would be brilliant! Although I would put all three of them to the vote. I thought Nicole was a bit too simpery! If you are a judge, you do have to have an opinion!

Oh I can't be doing with Fat Fringey Mary.

All that 'this is the best thing that has ever happened to me' bollocks.

DetectivePotato · 04/10/2010 09:57

"Nicole Skirtswinger" PMSL!!!!!

She should be there over Dannii though.

Katie has magically got out of that other contract she had. Funny how she gets through even though she shouldn't have because she messed up. Fix? Never!

daftpunk · 04/10/2010 09:58

Fab; Gamu does get in, KT gets disqualified.

TheFoosa · 04/10/2010 09:58

hmm, there are 12 weeks until christmas and only 9 acts?
X factor ALWAYS finishes in time for the Christmas No.1
I think they will have an extra act fromn each catagory

ColdComfortFarm · 04/10/2010 09:58

cher is anorexic.

TheFoosa · 04/10/2010 09:59

anyway, Katie will probably be voted off first

GetOrfMoiLand · 04/10/2010 09:59

I wanted the rough trade bricklayers The Reason to go through. Hopefully they will get wildcarded, not the band with the girl with a dead polecat on her head.

Princes and Rogues - Glee has got a LOT to answer for.

GetOrfMoiLand · 04/10/2010 10:00

Mind you, slag them off as we all will, calling a 16 year old girl from Malvern a cokehead anoriexic is probably going a tad too far.
