Most pathetic, phoning in sick voice? Hilarious.

I thought just the same Grin

You could just picture her on the other end of the line putting it on..

madonnawhore · 30/10/2011 21:29

So fake.

I bet she comes back next week with a new nose, or massive tits or something. Having recovered from her 'illness'.

MrsMoosickle · 30/10/2011 21:35

I know, totally ott! If you were that sick I am sure one wouldn't give a flying feck who was voted out! let's see the Fit Note Rowland!

yabu,poor woman could have been really sick Grin

It sounded like the voice I use when calling in sick when I actually have a hangover.

squeakyfreakytoy · 30/10/2011 21:37

I am sure it would not have been a real hardship flying first class, even with a sore throat...

MrBloomsNursery · 30/10/2011 21:38

Don't watch X factor, but I just want to say, that woman wears the most disgusting clothes ever.

BeatRoute · 30/10/2011 21:38

YABU, it was a brilliant phoning-in sick voice!

YANBU at finding it hilarious though [hgrin]

Cinders22 · 30/10/2011 21:41

I thought it too, definitely a fake phoning in sick voice. A couple of times she kind of forgot and sounded normal then put the croaky voice on again.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 30/10/2011 21:42

YANBU at ALL. DH and I actually suspect the whole thing is a huge con, she is quitting the show, and the producers are buying time while they figure out what to do and who to replace her with...!

plumviolet · 30/10/2011 21:45

Do you think its all a big ploy and cheryl will come back? Drama, drama...

Flisspaps · 30/10/2011 21:47

Too sick to sit about on TV for a couple of hours, but well enough to sit on a transatlantic flight? Pull the other one.

MrsMoosickle · 30/10/2011 21:50

Not sure why it's so shit this year (although obviously i'm still watching it) I agree with HeartsTrumpDiamonds, she be outta here. If the Burke replaces her then I'm off though. She grates on me!

Kelly's accent and saying's make me smile. I find burke irritating too.

mrsrupertpenryjones · 30/10/2011 22:05

I've heard that voice many a time from every single one of our employees when they call our sickness line at work - even if they have have sprained an ankle / broken a finger nail / some other crappy reason for not attending work that has no impact on their voice.

MrsMoosickle · 30/10/2011 22:12

Me too MrsR! It's soooooo transparent and instantly makes me doubt the caller. I NEVER do a dick voice!

MrsMoosickle · 30/10/2011 22:13

Oops! Sick voice.

manticlimactic · 30/10/2011 22:13

I said exactly the same thing when I heard her. Grin

She was probably lying down. That's the best way to make your phoning in sick voice sound more believeable..umm..so I'm told.

wonderstuff · 30/10/2011 22:17

She sounded fine on Radio One on Sat morning - she was on Vernon Kays show.

twinklytroll · 30/10/2011 22:18

It was fantastic , I wonder if she also put the thermometer in a cup of tea before showing Simon Cowell.

toptramp · 30/10/2011 22:19

I like Kelly and I hope she dosn't quit.

ImperialBlether · 30/10/2011 22:21

We were laughing from the moment she spoke. She was so obviously putting it on.

squeakyfreakytoy · 30/10/2011 22:21

I thought Alexandra Burke was doing ok, until she got all gobby with Louis with the "talk to the hand" motion and the "dot.com" comment... and I went right off the silly little girl then.

DeepPurple · 30/10/2011 22:22

Grin at dick voice

MrsMoosickle · 30/10/2011 22:28

[blush]@dick voice. Although may try that next time I feel like a sickie!
