How's that for a combined thread title??

vitomum · 18/11/2006 20:15

it was pointed out to me during the week that kate thornton's previously very wrinkled forehead is now totally smooth. I was completely distracted by that all night.

MoreEggnogAnyone · 18/11/2006 20:21

Simon is a twunt and I'm beginning to hate him. Go McDonalds!
Leona has to sing something other than a slow screechy number.

CountTo10 · 18/11/2006 20:27

I know she's getting really boring good voice or not

MerlinsBeard · 18/11/2006 20:27

i didn't like any of them this week tbh.

Earlybird · 18/11/2006 20:30

Who do you think will go tonight?

I think Ray will be out....he must have been gutted that none of the judges - not even his mentor - mentioned him at the end.

Thought Kate looked very glam - quite different to how she looked in an advert which was shown during one of the breaks. I thought the difference was down to bad lighting (in the ad), but you may be right that she could have had a bit of extra help.

MoreEggnogAnyone · 18/11/2006 20:31

Ray and Eton Road were the worst tonight. Ray should go.

MerlinsBeard · 18/11/2006 20:31

Ray - he was the worst

or Eton Road coz they were all over the place

Earlybird · 18/11/2006 20:35

I worry about the "pretty" one in Eton Road because he seems so highly strung. Dunno why, but I have an uneasy feeling he could do something foolish if the criticism is too harsh, or directed too much at him (as it was last week).

JonesTheSteam · 18/11/2006 22:25

Who went out tonight, and who was it between?

TIA

Earlybird · 18/11/2006 22:29

I didn't see it, but Robert went out. Bottom two were Robert and Eton Road.

JonesTheSteam · 18/11/2006 22:37

Thanks Earlybird

puffling · 18/11/2006 22:44

Have people heard about them getting rid of Kate Thornton in favour of Vernon Kay? If the idea is to replicate the Ryan Seacrest scenario in American Idol, it won't work. Their banter is slick and heavily scripted. In Vernon's case, Simon will have him for breakfast and it'll probably descend into slanging matches like it did on Fame Academy.
Keep Kate, she's not particularly interesting, but the formula works fine.

anniebear · 19/11/2006 11:01

Isnt Louis a complete idiot. They really should get rid if they have another series

has to be Ben and Leona in the final. I think Leona should win though, what a voice.Have a feeling she wont though

Robert has improved loads but I (and obviously the public) dont like him muc)

Can scarily see the Mac Bro being in the last 3!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely lads, nice song, nice voices....for your wedding!! GET THEM OUT

Can you belive that Sharon and Louis said Eton Rd were good??!!! They were terrible last night, for the 2nd week

At least Simon is honest about his acts and when asked who should be in the final he didn't say both his own acts

Puuurrleeaase, Louis said Eton Rd and Mac Bro should be in the final lol lol lol

anniebear · 19/11/2006 11:01

Kate looks more and more like Sharon Watts

where did that big very very blonde hair come from?

she looked much better with shorter hair

MerlinsBeard · 19/11/2006 11:02

sometimes i think the mix of the sound is different in the studio to what we get at home. Their sound engineers are terrible

jalopy · 19/11/2006 11:04

Agree with Earlybird. That guy in Eton rd always looks distracted. Never seems to be paying attentiion when being interviewed. The others seem fairly together but he is incredible fragile. He looks desperate for stardom and yet appears increasingly more uncomfortable each week. If I was his mother, I'd be very worried.

Nettee · 19/11/2006 15:33

I think Vernon Kay would be much better than Kate Thorton. He wouldn't have to argue with the judges - it worked really well with Ant and Dec in Pop idol.

Nettee · 19/11/2006 15:34

And definatley get rid of Louis - he only seems to be motivated by scoring points off Simon. Simon is totally arrogant but at least he is honest and fair.

turquoise · 19/11/2006 16:16

I love Louis' argument as to why the Mctwats should win - "cos they're really nice guys".
I'm very nice too, can I have a record contract?

mears · 19/11/2006 21:34

Ray will be out next week. Mark my words!

mears · 19/11/2006 21:36

BTW - I think Leona should win but I hate it when she sings screetchy like Mariah Carey - it might lose her the votes.

flamesparrow · 20/11/2006 07:42

Right - got to watch it last night. How did Robert get in the bottom two instead of Ray or McDull????

WHY can't they judge the "real" acts??? I wanted em to tell Westlife that they were being too cheesy and that Delta Goodrem looked like she was having stomach cramps (and needed a longer dress)!!!

I liked Eton Rd ... Ben actually scared me a bit this week. Anyone else REALLY wanting to see McDonalds do 1000 miles???

The "odd" one from Eton Rd was raised by his nan apparently, and really does seem very very breakable He makes me go all maternal.

How old is Ben?? Whenever they do his talking bits he always seems to go from rocker performing to a geeky little boy... its quite sweet!

SparklyfestiveYellowFeathers · 20/11/2006 07:48

Pmsl FS

I was very shocked at Eton Rd and Robert in the bottom two but I can understand why Simon came to the decision he did. If he won the X Factor he'd just be another Andy or Steve. Bringing out albums and disappearing into nowhere.

I thought MCD bro's were bad this week. Not a good song.
Ray! Omg, sorry to all of you who hate him but he just oooozed sex I thought

I wish Leona would feck off. She certainly has a great voice but its so annoyingly american and Mariah Careyish. It makes me cringe.

flamesparrow · 20/11/2006 07:50

Please some more and also cringe!!! He looked about 12!!!

SparklyfestiveYellowFeathers · 20/11/2006 07:54

lol, it was those tight trousers and all that gyrating

I'm glad you noticed Delta Goodrams dress too.
