I thought Id seen Raymond before
Raymond

Flamebat · 29/10/2006 21:11

Great minds think alike

LadyHeatherMillsMcCartney · 30/10/2006 08:24

I think (or rather I want) Ben, Raymond and MacDonald Bros. I have yet to see Leona smile so she just doesnt do it for me - no personality.

ScreamandYellowFeathers · 30/10/2006 08:31

Ok I think Ben will win it.
My second choice would be Eton Road. I hate boy bands but they do sound good.

Moonpie · 30/10/2006 08:59

What's the theme for next week? Who is the guest celeb type person?

kikki · 30/10/2006 11:03

Its Abba and the guest is one of the blokes from Abba.
I was wondering if you are really LadyHeatherMillsMc Cartney and if not that's an unusual choice of pseudonym.

anniebear · 30/10/2006 11:36

at least Eton Road have some personality between them don't they!!

Moonpie · 30/10/2006 12:08

Leona has not much in the personality stakes really.
Robert is great. Maybe too emotional but a good singer, not bad looking and a genuine love for what he's doing.
Ashley sounds like Kermit. I think he's got style and whatnot but don't he has IT.
The McDonald Brothers are dire. And they NEED to go.
Eton Road are good but musically their singing is all over the place at times. Think that's just nerves and lack of training. But at least they give their all. I like them!
Ray. I like Ray. I know it's wrong but I do. I don't think he'll win but he's good to watch.
Ben is amazing. He has actual musical talent. His voice is distinct and unique and he seems like a nice guy, too.
Nikkita just doesn't do it for me but I think they need to work on her image. The scraped back hair each week isn't a good look.

So in our house we want either Ben or Eton Road to win!

Will be interesting to see how they all cope with the Abba week though! Think Eton Road will do well and Robert.

Can't wait!!

Glad Dionne went, good voice she may have had, but she was like the love child of Mike Tyson and Tina Turner. Quite unnerving. Kerry, although unfortunate about her disability, irritated the bejaysus out of me, so was glad to see the back of her too. Leona, Nikitta, Eton Road and Robert are my faves. Simon probably salivates over Leona because she looks a bit like his girlfriend. He's into the whole half cast/black girl long curly hair bambi eyes thing. Ashley won't win. I don't get the whole Ben thing, I find him annoying. And he's a junkie. Which is probably why Sharon digs him.
Okay, Abba night. Who's going to triumph and who's going to make a complete twat of themselves? Apparently, Louis wants McDonalds to sing Fernando with bagpipes...

Eton Road are known as Eton Disorder in our house

I don't have a favourite this year, loved Brenda last year though.

Whoops sorry.

Flamebat · 31/10/2006 09:52

Wha??? Ben's a junkie?

OP posts:
babe1 · 31/10/2006 10:23

Indeed he is. Or was. Whatever. He admitted it in a tabloid, silly boy. And he's a love rat. He cheated on his long term girlfriend and she got him back by storing some tuna under his piano keys. My kinda gal! I don't like him anyway (you'd never have guessed!!) There's just something about him. I'd like to see a girl winner this year.

kikki · 31/10/2006 22:41

Ben's been clean for 8months(hooked on cocaine). I don't like him either. I think he reminds Simon of the rock singer from American Idol called- Bo.
I didn't know he was a love rat.

Flamesparrow · 01/11/2006 08:36

How does any of that affect his singing ability? I wouldn't wanna be friends with him (the cheating bit, not the drugs - he is clean now). There's quite a few singers I like but I wouldn't wanna be friends with them

Mell2 · 01/11/2006 12:06

Hope Eton Rd make the final. Probably best if they don't win it because Journey South and G4 seem the most successful and they didn't 'win'.

WelshBorisSaysFawkeOff · 01/11/2006 12:08

Why are the Mcdonald brothers still there??

Is Louis having a menage a trois with them?

PennyForTheGuy · 01/11/2006 17:17

I think people like the McDonald's. That can count for quite a lot. If the public like the actual person/people, they can get votes even if they're not great as an act. The McDonald's are two nice genuine lads, or at least they seem to be. Take Dionne, good voice, but not particularly likeable IMO. So she's out early. Kerry was another example, you'd think she might have got quite a big sympathy vote, but she was out early too, as she wasn't really that likeable either.

anniebear · 01/11/2006 19:24

Think also Simon slating them gets them loads of votes

Maybe thats why simon does it, keeps the weaker group in as its not his

wheelsanddollbaby · 01/11/2006 21:27

Do you think that when the panel has to decide whether to keep an act at the end of the night, that if a panel member has their act in the final two, they should not be allowed to vote? e.g. Louis NEVER sends home his own act and so what's the point of him having his say?

texasrose · 01/11/2006 21:59

I like Eton Road the best, but I missed it last week...

MarsLady · 01/11/2006 22:04

babe1 sorry... half caste really gets my goat (and offends, though I'm sure you didn't mean to) so if you wouldn't mind using another term... ta!

Leona... stunning girl. Amazing voice. I love Eton Road... trying to work out why. Shame about Dionne. I think she should've stayed a bit longer, but it was kind of inevitable.

Like Ashley.. but I think he needs to up his game. Um... Nikita is sweet, but I don't know if I want her to win. Top 4 but not win.

Can't remember who else is in it but then I am knackered.
