X-FACTOR!! THE FINAL!!(part one) -who is going to win?!

[Raahh]

Obviously, Verucca -if all the fix stuff is to go by (although Kelly is supposed to be hoping she doesn't win, as it will make her look stoopid for chucking her off in the first place)

I want Marcus to win. Lidl Muffins at a push (but I don't think singing with Tulisa will help them!)

It's going to be crap, without 'proper' guests, isn't it? And dragging it out over 2 nights...

So here we are, after all these months part one of the X Factor final!

right, you two outside.

Ivanta, that is fabulous, your teachers must be great.

Is he crying because he had to walk to school?

Really??

STOP CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAGNER?? WHERE???

FAB that was at the notion that a female contestant has to be ladylike. Why should they? I don't want contestants of either gender to be skanky like Mr Cocozza, but I don't see why Amelia (who I'm not that keen on) should have to be ladylike to win. She needs to sing well (as if that decides it...)

Ivanta! Go get him back. He belongs to us.

But your mum will be proud of your eyebrows

going for the mum vote then...

Walking to school? It's half a mile!

This is very old fashioned. Expecting Vic Reeves out any minute.

Gazza is turning into Elton. Renee and Renate would have been more apt.

Bit ropey there Bazza. Lovely, Marcus

The Dorchester just called... they said they'd like their Concierge's jacket back.

If I was at a working man's club watching this, I'd be barely looking up from my scampi in a basket.

Gary's miming on the piano. The tosser.

velvet is big then, huh?

Has anyone checked if Louis can do the Irish dancing, a la Michael Flatley? I would pay to see that.

I do like Barry. This is nice. A bit dull but nice.

Have Gary and Marcus swapped the bottom parts of their suits?

Gary just shows how Marcus isn't up to scratch yet.

Gary is looking a bit embarassed on stage and has definitely put on weight over the last week or maybe its that velvet jacket

What's with the purple velour?
