X FACTOR:- 7/9/2013- the auditions continue....ARENAS may be mentioned..

[Raahh]

Ok, I like the fact they are back in front of the judges in the closed room. But they have ruined it, by still putting the acts in front of the braying masses-IN ARENAS!!!

But I will still watch- I like having Mrs O back, not sure Barry is keen

I will miss Phiff/Fill

And tomorrow- in case they don't remind us- they will be in front of 4000 people . In an ARENA

Does a bucket of blood fall on her from the roof, bastards?

She's a Timoti advert from long distant days of yore

Does Sharon know we can all see her vest under her blouse.

bingbong

Still, she's getting wear out of the bridesmaid outfit. There's thrifty.

I imagine her wandering round Morrisons with her guitar like the Naked Cowboy in NYC.

Nah - she gets to Judges Houses apparently. I know someone who knows her.

Joyful

She has quirky specs already (and I happen to like them).

It's brave bordering on the foolish to do your own song at this kind of thing. People take longer to warm to unfamiliar songs.

Lisa Loeb! That's who she looks like.

It's hard to know what to think of a not very original song.

I quite like this. But the kind of music I actually like is not what you get on xfactor.

Best the judges don't leave their hydrangeas unchecked, he'll be wearing them.

Like a warbling bush

I hope next week she wears a Debenhams fascinator

It's very Taylor Swifty.

Bloody Taylor Swift and her winsome tales of small town heartbreak.

Hmm! I'm missing loads of jigsaw pieces!

Se should just have covered a bright eyes song.

Nicole hates her.

Preferably one of the ones that are hilariously angsty.

I think she's rather good.

Oh yes, Noel. And a wee basket of petals.

If I'd tried to get glasses like that, my optician would have told me that they didn't fit my face because my eyes weren't in the middle of the lenses.

Love her glasses.

I have glasses like that, for the days I don't wear contacts. I don't suit glasses, so I figure I may as well get the fugly ones and pretend I'm a hipster

I love it when Nicole lights up with the glow of sincerity

My prescription is too strong for big specs.

my hair is too frizzy to wear flowers.

I'm never going to be kooky

Shall we vote?

Or just credit both the contestant and the audience with a soupçon of common sense, and let them tell by our gushing that they're through?
