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?

I can't watch til 9pm

I'm just reading all your comments, like a child trying to peer through a shop window, but too small to see anything.

It's my favourite caramel shop too

So- last time , we had to watch each act twice- in the room and the ARENA- I guess this time, we won't see them again til Bootcamp.

So they have a list of song choices?

Why ask if there is a second song if they have a list of the song choices?

Grimmy is just a lucky man. End of. No talent at all.

Chezza apears to be sporting a pink neck brace - is her head too heavy for her neck?

I love this song too!

I hate the whole 'do you have another song' !!

Are they going to do it to everyone??

BoF- I know. Grief mkes me eat.

Or any emotion, really. I just eat.

I like this one. Even though I should hate them all. Would have liked to hear her without all the backing and audience noise, though.

They cant straighten this ladys hair!

Oh dear. Somebody should tell Grimboy that the young Cliff Richard look is going to fall far from grace once the Crown Prosecution Service make their move...

Cheryl's dress has been doing my head in, I keep wondering what shop/ mag I must have seen it in. Then I realised its the EXACT same material as my mums leg bag when we were kids.

Chez a has new teeth, doesn't she? And it's that that is pushing out her lip.

Maybe the grief made her gums erode?

Grimboy! Love it

Is that a phrase Cheryl?

Maybe Dermot resigned because he just didn't enjoy himself as much as Caz and Ol with their dancing back-stage.

Helloe everyone.

Fuck me, but what the frig is that woman doing on the fucking X Factor? She should be ripping it up in some deep house club in the US and being minted and feted. They will ruin her.

wow how great was Jennifer!! i agree dont like the arena auditions.

Grimmy is never papped with Harry Styles now, is he?
Why not, what happened there?

80s- they can't straighten it, but I bet wigs will feature....

Cheryl's remembered she's a Geordie!

The woman that just sang, that is.

She will be singing firework by perry in a few weeks time..!

Well this is rubbish so far. 'Funny' bits not funny. Too many big diva type singers.

She's well fucked the stylists over with the hair the can't be straightened. She'll be well pleathered as punishment

I was just thinking, give it 6 weeks she will have a weave and a shiny/pleather tunic
