X FACTOR 2015! New Series starts this weekend -SAT 29th/SUN 30th 8.00pm

[Raahh]

...prompted by Hearts- here is the first thread of the year. It's traditional, innit. Even if this year, I am finding it very hard to get enthused.

So- what do we think of the new judges?
Are we happy they have got rid of the room auditions? -no--
What ubiquitous song will the acts sing in the auditions?
Will we miss Dermot dancing? Or will Strictly winner Caroline do the honours probably

It's all in the ARENA this year- apparently with props, and whatever else the acts want to bring along. Maybe even a tune, if we are lucky. It is going more and more BGT.

So, Autumn is now officially on it's way, it's nearly time for the Christmas John Lewis ad...

are we ready to face the music?

His man voice does not match his shorts and demeanor.

He looks like a scout leader circa 1952.

Bit rude that that they showed Olly's buddy in between the other audition.

Those badgers need to watch out. Chezza's got form for clipping Foreigns.

This guy isnt going to be good enough is he..... And it will be ohnso so tough on Olly.....

if he doesn't get through it will be shit...

Do we think Olly is that nice of a person or is it all a show.

He started off good.

John not olly

Charlie Brooker has let himself go.

If they put twerky woman through, surely at least this one can sing.

No offence to his pins, but even pleather meggings would be better than those shorts.

They should chuck them off if they fuck it up.

And fuck off with this different song shit - obviously scripted. They were cheering before he even started singing. Ffs.

Chexs face is so thin its disappearing.

I feel sorry for him. Sooo much pressure! His voice doesn't seem strong enough.

Cheryl needs to eat something.
Rita still thinks she's on the voice (and tries too hard).
Grimmy is just... Grim.
Simons smug face is irratating.
Olly & Caroline are pointless - all they're doing is dancing like twats?? Am I missing somthing?
I don't like that they have got rid of the the rooms as now all they're doing is putting shit acts through because the audience are cheering (I.e. Laughing).
Not one act has been good tonight and there have been a million adverts

Why do I watch this again?

Crap.next!

I have never heard a "he's a drama llama in real life" type story about Olly, everyone who I know who has met him says he's lovely, which makes me think he really is, if it's an act, he's committed to it...

He got the words wrong

cruik- but tango girl messed up twice and they let her through.

Is he related to Sean Locke?

We'll be counting sheep, mate, sorry.

But they let the twerky woman through!!

He wasn't good at all. Out of tune, no range, and he didn't 'sing' the bits that were all on similar notes - you know, when people just sound like they're talking and not making an effort.

Cheryl's suit is very Martine McCutcheon 1997

Let him,go
