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

The stylists will be rubbing their hands thinking of all the dreadful things they can do to this girl if she makes it to the live shows.

I lve Abi. I think she's really a bit like an early Laura marling or Emmy the Great. Sadly I don't think people would vote for her on the main show as she's not main stream enough. It's a song I'd buy though, and so good that she writes her own stuff and plays guitar. She's nothing like Taylor Swift. Yes she plays guitar and wirtes her own stuff but that's it.

Why? Why are we still watching?

Kooky one = save the shoe budget. No shoes required

I love the glasses, but I just know my optician would veto them.

I have smaller, quirky glasses. I look irritatingly quirky in general.

It's over

ahh, but there's next week to look forward to.

Nighty night!

I'm only here for the company Sue

I have no idea Sue. None.

I used to have specs like that, they suit me. I first started wearing them at age 9 as a short term measure to correct my eyesight.

At 32 I was told I no longer needed them and my eyes were fixed. I don't think opticians get short term.

These programmes are far too short. Wish they'd just scrap the ads, and either do the arena or room auditions tbh!

I liked her!!

Night all

Dd has glasses like that. I'd like some but I think I'm too old.

Xtra?

I wish my eyes would correct themselves. Instead they just get crapper every year.

I suspect my opticians veto stuff due to me having quite a lot of astigmatism as well as being mole-like in my short sightedness. It probably makes it more crucial that the lenses sit right.

I agree the shows are too short.

But xtra is surely a step too far, sue.

Next year - form a group, get the big glasses and two tone wig - The Quirky Wankbadgers are born.

Dh has already taken over the tv

I recorded Xtra for dd1 last week-it was truly bad

Oh she is a bit like Taylor Swift, TS has countless acoustic tracks like that. I'm no Swift fan but she does that singer-songwrite lite thing.

I don't think she's like Laura Marling at all, Marling is so English, this girl is going for an American a sound.

Can we dress like zoey deschanel in a badger wig?

I've decided to watch swamp people. I do love some folks with accents so strong they decide to resort to subtitles.

I'm not allowed to watch Xtra. I've got to watch CBB! Next week I can watch Xtra.

The crucial question is: what is her nickname?

We might like her, but she still needs one.

But we're never happy- soon the programmes will be too long.

And when we watch the Voice, we be-moan the lack of adverts to go for a wee during.

I don't consider channel 5 to actually exist generally.

Well the lack of adverts is hardly the biggest thing we moan about during the voice.
