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.

To lose Jonathan and keep Kerry didn't make any sense to me.

LIZS · 09/10/2006 12:22

I was also surprised about Jonathan , sean just wasn't ready for the pressure.

MarsLady · 09/10/2006 12:22

Except that it balanced the 2 boys 2 girls thing!

I loved Ashley and that very very gorgeous mixed race girl.

I got all the groups right. They are as I predicted.

What I want to know is this.......... was I the only person who didn't know that Avenue had lied until it aired? I hear it was all over the papers, but the only papers I've been reading have had Shakespeare all over them. lol

LIZS · 09/10/2006 12:31

no I didn't know either, it happened about a month ago according to dh (who reads all the fornt covers of all the Sundays when eh buys ouyr paper !). Not sure it sits well after the Conways and Louis last year but assume Avenue had actually lied about it on their application.

sparkly1 · 09/10/2006 12:45

I had no idea about Avenue until the show either. I was glad when the other group got back in though the one member looks quite ill, worryingly so in my opinion.

anniebear · 09/10/2006 13:41

he does look ill doesn't he!!

FarMARSWarrick · 09/10/2006 13:49

I think that was his makeup because when Louis went round to tell them that they were in after all he didn't look so bad. But yes....... I just wanted to give him a good meal and a shoulder to cry on. Love Eaton Road.

I'm sure I've seen that Jamie from Avenue before, on Pop Idol or something!

anniebear · 09/10/2006 14:11

wasn't he in x factor lasy year? not sure if on his own or in a group

Thought he was gorg!!

Furball · 09/10/2006 14:59

He got through to the final 50 in the 2nd series of pop idol.

He also entered a song for europe but Jessica garlick won

He also had a record contract with simon cowell and that is why on the original audition simon had said no as he didn't get it.

Quite strange the whole shannigans really.

Twohootsandapumpkin · 09/10/2006 15:25

I think Simon quite fancies Leona (sp?). She is the type of 'girl' he goes for. He used to date Sinita in her 'hey day' and his current gf (she was on the show last year helping him out) is mixed race with dark curly hair just like Leona.....

Never realised that Adrian with the multi coloured beard was Sharon's first love! Read her book and it just didn't twig!

I need to get out more

Jockey · 09/10/2006 15:26

Wow, he doesn't give up easily does he?

Jockey · 09/10/2006 15:28

{Last remark was regarding Jamie of Avenue!}

Yeah agree totally about Simon and Leona. She's right up his "Avenue" (excuse poor joke).

MandyBOO · 09/10/2006 21:11

Sorry but that Ray kid reminds me of the little boy in the Addams family or some such programme anyway!!!!! Anyone else think so?

I do recognise him though was he a child actor - like artful dodger in Oliver or something.

WelshBorisKarloff · 10/10/2006 09:40

He was in brookside

leander · 10/10/2006 09:41

he was Antony Murray in Brookside, he was the one who killed the girl who was bullying him.
god i'm sad.

LieselVonTrappDoor · 10/10/2006 09:46

aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh - do the X Factor know this, is this alllowed? Hes has his 15 minutes surely

LieselVonTrappDoor · 10/10/2006 09:47

....and another thing if those boys got kicked off for being a manufactured band then why was Rowetta allowed in a couple of years ago?

WelshBorisKarloff · 10/10/2006 09:49

I think Louis main bugbear was the fact that Avenues manager used to be involved with X Factor then he left. Sounds a bit dodgy and underhand

Leandevil · 10/10/2006 09:50

Right this was in last nights Echo, let me find it and i'll let you know what it said.

Leandevil · 10/10/2006 09:54

It says that Ray and boy band Eaton Road were in danger of being thrown out for ALLEGEDLY having management deals.They are allowed to stay because neither act has a CURRENT management deal.
