to want John and Edward to win the x-factor?

After Alexandra Burke's mimed performance on the x-factor last night, and the sheer stupidity of John and Edward being in the finals, I think the whole thing is a farse that is not designed to find new talent but is designed to find acts that fit a certain standard, to which we as the public must conform.

John and edward are ghastly individuals. But they are there purely for the amusement factor and to cause tention between the judges on the show.

I think that it's time the public took a stand and show the producers that if they make certain decisions, it could have consequences.

Thus, while I can't stand John and Edward, I think that for them to win would be highly, highly amusing, and justice in a way.

Scacey vs T & T?

I like Stacey's singing voice, no idea why dd doesn't like it.

I think Stacey, the young Welsh lad and Olly will be in the semi finals.

Jamie Afro and Miss Frank will go soon.

wannaBe · 12/10/2009 13:13

then I think that either Olly or Joe will win, probably Joe because he'll get the younger vote.

I thought Alex was miming but it was probably a good idea giving all the jigging around she was doing. She looked great though and I think she did really well.

I am 100% sure that Cheryl will mime next week after last year when she and Girl's Aloud did a live version of their song and she sounded awful.

Had the same conversation about Robbie with DH, he looked completely off his head, massive pupils and he wasn't blinking! DH reckons it was an adrenaline rush but I am not so sure....his song was rubbish as well.

GetOrfMoiLand · 12/10/2009 13:14

What's the welsh lad called again, am having brain freeze.

Doesn't he look like a very young David Beckham?

wannaBe · 12/10/2009 13:15

I think miss frank will go next week. I hope so. But if not I think Rachel will go next week.

Am starting to like like like Olly. I wish he would sort his strange 50's throwback hair out, though.

ZZZenAgain · 12/10/2009 13:16

Is he called Lloyd maybe?

I find him very sweet but he is a bit too shakey to make it I reckon

BettySwollux · 12/10/2009 13:18

Twit and Twat - ROFL.
Get them gone!!

Loving midnight's judge swap idea.

GetOrfMoiLand · 12/10/2009 13:19

I really like Rachel, but I think everyone will think she is too similar to Alexandra for her to do well this year.

Miss Frank are awful, thank god though they have sorted out Graziella's frightening eyeliner, though.

ZZZenAgain · 12/10/2009 13:21

how come we can't remember any of their names?

I'm trying to think what the name of that man (I am not ashamed) is.. David?

ZZZenAgain · 12/10/2009 13:22

Daniel?

I think it's because they're so ... not memorable.

boys are:

Lloyd, Joe and Ricky.

Girls are Rachel, Lucy and Stacy

Over 25's are Daniel, Jamie and Olly

and Groups are Miss Frank and John and Edward.

You know I thought that Alexandra was miming at one stage, and also thought Robbie looked a bit scary (a wee touch of the 'Real Thing??', I hope not... )

it would be a travesty if the twins won, I don't think they will, glad those girls went last night, Miss Frank ought to go next, unless they really nail something...

GetOrfMoiLand · 12/10/2009 13:26

Lloyd, yes, that's it.

I am turning into La Cowell, not remembering their names.

wannaBe · 12/10/2009 13:29

Miss Frank shouldn't even be there. The only reason they're there is because they didn't have enough decent groups to go through.

I found this about Olly very amusing

I mean how desparate must that girl be for fame that she sold that tripe to the papers.

Am so pleased that those scrubbers went, they were useless.

I was huffing and puffing about them, DD earnestly said that I was being mean, and just because they used to be strippers does not mean that they are tarts and I should stop judging them on the fact they were wearing see-through clothes and pvc tutus.

I told DD that judging people is the highlight of my life and to leave me alone

SparklyGothKat · 12/10/2009 13:34

I thought that RObbie was off his nut on something, his eyes were strange. My SIL insists that he is like that all the time live and it was an adrenaline rush on her FB page, I replied 'off his head then' She deleted my reply lol. SHe is a huge Robbie fan and won't hear anything bad against him. I like Robbie but he was defo. on something, I have been around drugs in my past and its a face I have seen many times

wannaBe · 12/10/2009 13:35

I think Dannii and Cheryl were right to say about them what they did.

If you want to get away from the slapper reputation then don't dress like a slapper!

Think Kandy Rain were only in it as SFTD

Something For The Dads

Claire236 · 12/10/2009 13:44

John & Edward are astonishingly awful & need to go very soon. Can't believe after whining on about wanting to be taken seriously Kandy Rain came out looking like strippers (what was with the pussy cat ears one of them was wearing)

Don't think Alexandra was miming but she certainly had a lot of help with a really naff song. If this is some weird attempt to keep her away from the Leona market I really think they could at least have given the girl a decent song.

Robbie was obviously just very excited to be performing again & definitely not on anything stronger than the coffee him & Olly were going for after the show. Love, love, love Robbie. Please don't let him be taking illegal substances again (still?)
