Are the X Factor producers and Simin Cowell mad? Is there a more annoying, dislikable and self-obsessed person on the planet? Oh and as for HER lack of X Factor...don't get me started!

She is terrible at singing but I quite liked her on popstars...

What the spice girls did was great lol

At the end of the day do any of the judges have the X factor.

It always amazes me that most of the time the judges are judging people whose talent far surpasses theirs!!

I mean, Cherly Cole cant sing
Gerri Halliwell cant sing
(Sorry havent watched the last few so dont know who else is on there but I bet they cant sing, lol)

yet they are allowed to judge on who can....always makes me laugh :)

Hate her, she always (I say 'always' although don't think I've seen anything of her for five years) talks in therapy/self help book speak.

Remember when she ditched the Spice Girls and it was worldwide headline news?

Happydogsaddog · 25/05/2012 16:34

Personally I couldn't care less but iirc she was a guest judge before and shite at it??? Going backwards comes to mind

Scraping the bottom of a very shit barrel.

Ha ha, car crash telly. Mind you, she did find Girls Aloud on Popstars: The Rivals so Cheryl owes her for that.

What?! A founding member of one of the biggest and most iconic girl groups of all time with countless worldwide number ones both in the band and personally. Not to mention a multitude of awards. Yes, what is she doing on there...

WannaBeWildCosMyLifesSoTame · 25/05/2012 22:16

Yes but not actually a band with any much musical talent. Just catchy tunes and good PR, not actually playing any instruments or being able to sing very well.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 25/05/2012 22:19

She's a self obsessed wanker. Will fit in rather well.

LookAtAllTheseFucksIGive · 25/05/2012 22:28

Yes but this is the X Factor. The home of dream trashing and turd polishing. The show that held Dannii Minogue up as a pop goddess and brought about the rebranding of Cheryl Cole. I'm not a fan of Geri Halliwell but even I can see that she has more right to judge hone these wannabes (see what I did there?) than Miss Oh-No-My-Ex-Sold-My-Sextape-Boo-Hoo-Well-Gutted Tulisa does.

I noticed her on a cover of a magazine the other day 'celebrating' or 'about to celebrate' her 40th birthday. Firstly I was convinced she was already mid 40's and secondly she has never had a good solo career, and couldn't even sing when she was in that iconic band. I don't normally post about Zeel-ebs but am not feeling well, flicked the tv on and thought ooh, should be entertaining esp when that very sweet boy who couldn't say S and kept saying tulisha. I initially thought it was amanda holden trying to get in one the tv time when the camera went to tulisha and then realised it was that bloody geri. Shock Confused [sceptical] I feel more ill now. Angry

I think I'm delirious (sp?) and have a fever so will stop now. off to find a lemsip.

LittleYellowFlowers · 08/09/2012 21:33

I have found the way she winds Gary up rather amusing! They make a right pair of rivals :) is great tv viewing!!

slowestwildebeast · 09/09/2012 00:37

"The home of dream trashing and turd polishing".

Yes Yes and more Yes.

I can't bear to watch it, I used to think Tulisa was ok but after the weird way she began painting herself as from the streets I got a bit bored. It's terrible, the same shitey stories over and over, you hardly get to see anyone sing as it's all backstory and 'drama'. Tedious. Geri hasn't changed, she's still a child in an adults body.
