Umm, there are 12 acts. 4 judges each picked 3 acts. Just in time for xmas.

ColdComfortFarm · 04/10/2010 10:03

I don't think it is insulting to say someone is anorexic when she clearly is. It's not an insult (though saying she is a user of illegal drugs is potentially libellous)

TheFoosa · 04/10/2010 10:03

oh, four judges - forgot that salient point

where's that dunces hat?

midnightexpress · 04/10/2010 10:04

the foosa there are 12 acts...

Does anyone like Katie? I can't imagine who they think is going to vote for her. Even Chezza thinks she's annoying. Also don't think Cher has really shown whether she can sing. It'll be interesting to see what happens when she's asked to sing rather than 'rap'.

NordicPrincess · 04/10/2010 10:04

her worst call was ashley...

GetOrfMoiLand · 04/10/2010 10:05

Cher seems very vulnerable thhough, doesn't she?

At least you don't have to worry about Katie having a nervous breakdown - she is too much a player. But Cher, something not right there imo.

I really, really like that Scouse girl. Think whilst we are all concentrating on the rest of the freakshow she will blossom.

Haliborange · 04/10/2010 10:07

Gah. It's a bit much to have picked someone who effectively didn't even audition (Cher) over someone who did (anyone who finished their song). Katie was not as bad - she did at least sing a bit - but she isn't that great.

If Chezza had any sense she'd have told Cher to go away and come back in a year when she was better able to cope.

I reckon Gamu didn't get through because Will.i.am didn't like her. He looked really stroppy from the second she came down the stairs.

And this means the leaked list was correct, making Louis Walsh (the list denier) a big fat liar.

Haliborange · 04/10/2010 10:07

Agreed Getorf, she is very good. Makes the rest of the Karaoke crew look a bit pointless really.

SunnyDays06 · 04/10/2010 10:08

Dead polcat love it!!

How do you guys know Katie gets disqualified??

CheeryCherry · 04/10/2010 10:08

Still annoyed Gamu didn't get through Blush Grin, loved her voice, think they would have got plenty of media coverage with her background - and perhaps taken X factor to another level.
Laughed my head of during Louies auditions - he had a real bunch of alllsorts, not much to choose from.
Am hoping the twist is Gamu and Diva Fever are invited back!

vinvinoveritas · 04/10/2010 10:08

I think she made awful choices other than the one from Liverpool, who has a great voice. She should have put through the girl called Kerri (?) and TreyC (sp?)

midnightexpress · 04/10/2010 10:09

YY getorf, and also lovely Matt the painter. I likey. He sings all those lovely girls' songs so sweetly.

Nicola - what a twat. he's in for a drubbing too from the Great British Public, I hope.

BerryLellow · 04/10/2010 10:09

9 acts? There's 12 isn't there?

daftpunk · 04/10/2010 10:10

I like Katie.

PelvicFloorTrauma · 04/10/2010 10:10

I cannot believe she sent Gamu and Tracey home. Cher is just bizarre with her overplucked, lopside eyebrows and premature wrinkles. She SO CLEARLY has an eating disorder as well that I think it was deeply irresponsible to put her through. She won't cope. Also who is going to vote for her?? And as for try-hard Katie. Words fail me. She fluffed two auditions!! And she still gets put through?

midnightexpress · 04/10/2010 10:10

You know you're just saying that to annoy us dp.

SamJones · 04/10/2010 10:10

Does anyone know if the reports about Katie are true..that she already had a contract and connections with Simon? Here

BerryLellow · 04/10/2010 10:11

Oops, got there a bit late.

That Katie has got the same irritating voice as Renee Zellweger doing Bridget Jones. Aaargh, hate it!

TheFoosa · 04/10/2010 10:11

I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW there are 12 acts

can't a person make a simple mistake around here [embarrassed]

Dannii appeared to have slipped off my radar, easily done

GetOrfMoiLand · 04/10/2010 10:12

I like Katie as well.

At least she is not wringing her hands saying this means the world to her. I am so sick of that shit

BerryLellow · 04/10/2010 10:12

I don't think Cher has an eating disorder necessarily, I was like that at 16 and teased horribly for being skinny. No experience with the drugs thing so couldn't comment on that though

TheFoosa · 04/10/2010 10:12

ffs Blush

ColdComfortFarm · 04/10/2010 10:15

Cher's makeup etc looks very much like a body dysmorphic thing that often goes with an eating disorder. You don't have wrinkles at 16 unless you have a frighteningly low body fat level. She just isn't well.

DetectivePotato · 04/10/2010 10:16

Not Diva Fever!!!! Hated them! Soooo glad Simon saw sense and didn't put them or Twen through.

TheFoosa · 04/10/2010 10:17

that boy band with all the floppy hair are going to win
