I am so angry with the X FACTOR

Yes I am. How dare they sack Dannii?! Then to add insult to injury, hire that N-Dubz chav girl to replace her? I am most miffed and I will henceforth scrub Simon Cowell off my christmas card list.

Also, if Mel B replaces Chezza, it will resemble a saturday fish market when her and Tulisa start moaning about the acts.

I know that most of you on MN don't care about the X Factor but I do.

Doubt I'll watch now. Danni was my favourite and liked watching Cheryl just to play bingo with her comments.

LadyOfTheManor · 15/05/2011 22:42

Oh, is Cheryl Cole NOT a chav then?

bigbuttons · 15/05/2011 22:43

Old x factor was funny. New style is shite, over long, tedious, obviously rigged. I gave it one last chance last year.
Anyway if DM isn't there at least her nose can't annoy me any more.

Cowell should have got Nicole Shirtslinger thingy to come over here. I thought she was fab last year as a guest. Also Katy Perry.

bigbuttons · 15/05/2011 22:45

Yes Nicole thingy was great, I liked her

GetOrfMoiCase · 15/05/2011 22:46

Can I just hijack the thread to point and laugh at Chezza's comedy purple trousers and Krystal Carrington hairdo fail? wtf?

Sarsaparilllla · 15/05/2011 22:46

Apparently she's doing Australias Got Talent and the schedules clashed - I think they whole 'just' announcing it, cancelling auditions etc is a huge publicity stunt to get on the front of all the papers, they would've known months ago

I'm in such a cynical mood today

TragicallyHip · 15/05/2011 22:47

They've sacked Danni Shock

Not happy Angry

TragicallyHip · 15/05/2011 22:48

Oh yes had heard she was doing AGT!

LDNmummy · 15/05/2011 22:48

Um, wow! What a lot of nastiness to spout about a young woman who has done nothing wrong.

Just because her music is not to your taste or you think she is a 'chav', does not mean she is not worthy to have the job. That is your opinion.

I actually like Tulisa and think she is a very hardworking young lady. I believe she couldn't distance herself anyway as she is related to another member of the group. And why is she responsible for the actions of someone she works with exactly?

And where is this proof of links to 'gang crime'?

I like Dani but don't think it is fair to be so nasty about a young woman who hasn't actually done anything except accept a job on a TV show.

TragicallyHip · 15/05/2011 22:48

Oh that outfit was hideous GOML! And that hair, speechless...

fit2drop · 15/05/2011 22:48

Don't care either way , but so glad I read this thread because I found
my new word of the week will be AMUSAL (with grateful thanks to bupcakes Grin

PaperView · 15/05/2011 22:49

It makes more sense to have Tulisa than Dannii tbh.

MarioandLuigi · 15/05/2011 22:50

But Simon Cowells comany SyCo do both Xfactor and AGT, so its not like it would have been news that the dates clashed.

Its alla bout headlines - they must have known this ages ago!

Errr, yes but we're not bemoaning Cheryl's departure so what's your point?

LadyOfTheManor · 15/05/2011 22:52

You're moaning that Tulisa (?) is a chav and is replacing DM. I was wondering why the fact Tulisa is a "chav" is relevant...when Cheryl Cole is clearly from the same "stock".

LDNmummy · 15/05/2011 22:52

And Tulisa has actually gotten to where she is by herself. Even if her music is not to your taste, she and her group made it big without much help and with their own ingenuity. I would say that makes her more than a 'chav' and actually an intelligent and great addition to the X Factor.

QueenLaQueefer · 15/05/2011 22:55

Aw, FFS.

I liked Danniiiii.

DH loved Dannii.

I cannot bear N Dubz.(sp?)

Maybe it's going the way of BGT (shite), and I'll have my Saturday nights back again.

LadyOfTheManor · 15/05/2011 22:56

Don't get me wrong I hate Tulisa and Cheryl Cole, it's just there isn't much difference between them, despite some fool from a tabloid labelling one "The Nations' Sweetheart" and the other is a bit Dirty Harriet. Neither one is super talented but then again neither was DM....

Precicely my point, it's got publicity stunt written all over it, XFactor is about nothing but publicity in the papers which = more money for Cowell

ImADinosaurSoRawrAndStuff · 15/05/2011 22:57

i thought she couldnt do it because it clashes with OZGT and also shes just had her appendix out and cant fly back and forth due to UK and OZ to do both.

ENormaSnob · 15/05/2011 22:59

What do you call a chick with 2 dicks?

N dubz.

IMO it's been a farce the last 2 years anyway with some of the shit acts they put through. Supposedly entertainment value but just makes a mockery of it with the likes of Wagner and jedward.

hairfullofsnakes · 15/05/2011 22:59

She was the best judge - I'm not going to watch it anymore. Stupid arses.

Because Cheryl is gone. It seems churlish to moan about her now.

LDNmummy · 15/05/2011 23:07

And its not churlish to talk about Tulisa the way you have? [hmm}
