X Factor - Let the games begin!

[Flamebat]

So we're onto X Factor proper!

The pretty guy was Ashley then . For me, I'm lovin the Hairdressers (not a clue what their band name is), the pretty guy (Ashley), and Ben (long hair).

Don't like stage school kid one teeny tiny bit.

Nah... next week.

Oh...two acts? Yup, they're gone.

Ooh all pleased - I genuinely DIDN'T like that

Hooray for Ben.

Am I alone here???

Hey Flame. Watching a bit behind time on Sky+ here. Just seen Leona - where are you up to?

Leona should win - outstanding!

JT we seem to be on the same timeline - are you watching live?

Think Kerry is as forgettable as always.

Missed a couple doing dinner... Just finished here.

Dull Brothers... why didn't they give them Me n My Shadow???

Loved Ben, Ashley & Robert

Eton Road... good but not great.

Didn't like Ray or the woman with the gappy teeth much

Didn't catch Leona.

Kerry is forgettable.

Didn't think Nikitta was great but I thought Sharon was VERY patronising!!!

Dull n Gap woman will probably be out.

Oh Eton Road and Robert haven't been on here yet. JT must be watching behind too!

Shame you missed Leona - she was fab!

didn't see the 1st 2.

Think Mac brothers and Kerry should go tonight.

I thought Eton Road were good and for the 1st time, disagree with Simon. I htought they did better to night than in previous weeks.

Thought Leona & Robert were fab.

Ben was great tonight think it will be him and Leona in the final.

And, I'm probably on my own here but not 'into' Ben but thats just me.

Just posted on the other X Factor thread, I lurve Ben! Him and Leona were excellent.

McDs and kerry on the way out.

has Robert always sounded like Frank Bruno?

Great minds, DG, just saw your earlier post.

I think Ashley's great, have nothing against kerry and Nikkita but don't think they have very distinctive strong voices.

Thought Leona was great tonight, she hasn't the best personality though

At what stage do you feel like you are getting to know them a bit? This year I haven't seen much personality in any of them!!

Thought Eton Rd were good in parts but it was a bit all over the show at times

missed Ray....whether you like him or not.....what was he like?

Back a day earlier as my Mum is ill

Oops - got a bit further behind as DD projectile vomited her entire stomach contents .

Couldn't help but compare Robert's performance to Sam doing the same song on Pop Idol a few years ago. Sam's was one of my fav performances ever, and Robert didn't come close, although his performance was 'reasonable'.

Liked Ben and Leona best tonight, and want McBrothers and Kerry to go.

Oh yes, you just reminded me anniebear - Ray was very good too.

I loved Sam

Just back in this evening, and have missed everything so far tonight.

Glad to hear Ben is did so well - what song did he sing?

FB you pinched my very words!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why did Sam get voted out ? he was lovely!!

Him and Mark are meant to be very good on The Lids TV prog they do

Kerry, Dionne or Nikita to go tonight. McDonald Bros were better than previous weeks, I think they'll stay.

as nice as they are, McDonald Bros are never going to sell records are they!
