X FACTOR - 11/10 7pm- It's the time for the Groups and the Boys to play musical chairs...

[Raahh]

Bet Simon is gutted - they are being trounced in the ratings by a bunch of left footed celebs dancing.

And the highest ranking show of the year- people baking cakes.

I think they should ditch the chairs round, and throw stale iced buns at the losers instead. Re-cycling, innit.

Here is what they will be singing (it's the 'Whitney Warning' )

Of course, this means nothing when we don't remember who is who!

See y'all later.

maybe it was the thought of going to Oldham that put him off ?

I read somewhere he has performed with Jessie J on the Ellen show in the US and already has a recording contract?!

Yes, they mentioned Jj when he first auditioned. Can't imagine why anyone would choose to sing with that caterwauling woman, but hey ho . I think he probably decided that he would be better without the Cowell machine, even if he takes longer to get there.

I hope they don't bring someone back.

Raahh, I hope they bring back wingman, I bet they don't though.
hearts, great nick name for Tom, have to think up some more for the others that are left! Dad jacket still makes me smile.
has anyone had a Nan story yet? still time, although its late this year getting to the live finals. maybe Judges fake houses will be condensed into a 2 hour show and loads of the blubbing cut out? I hope they are done by hallowee'n week. Oldham! Must be a posh house though, Grimmy must be loaded, he has been around a while taking licence fee money from us on radio one. I caught a bit of his show the other day, he seems a lot more chatty and normal on radio..

Did they? Shows how I don't concentrate I think he's made a wise choice but do hope wingman isn't reinstated, the novelty acts are wearing a bit thin now

He's given an interview this morning saying that he doesn't feel ready, the six chair challenge was the worst experience of his life and he doesn't feel that he can cope with the pressures of rejection like that.

He said in March he was singing in his bedroom and this is the first public performing he's ever done, so he doesn't want to stop someone who is 100% ready from going through and therefore won't be attending any further shows.

They have to replace him, right? Maybe Ollie or Wingman, considering they were originally in the chairs but were replaced.

Oh well. He has had publicity now, it all helps i guess.
The rounds are gruelling, when your very young its hard to take rejection. I dont blame him, the show isnt what it was.

Just saw this post now.

I don't get why people think 4th Power are professionals?!? I mean when do you count as a 'professional singer'? I'd think you'd only be one if you have a recording contract and had quite a bit of record sales (Billboard 100 and so on).

Going to loads of singing competitions is NOT being a professional. That's what amateurs do!! And in Asia, there are LOADS of singing competitions. I mean... I can go to dressage competitions. That doesn't make me a professional rider!!!

The Philippines is one of those places where you walk around in a mall, thinking there's a CD playing in the background... and then realize it's someone on a karaoke machine. So this doesn't surprise me.

Just listen to the interviews of the people who wrote 'Miss Saigon' and why they held auditions in the Philippines many years ago (apparently, they watched a documentary, and saw people in the Philippines marching and singing in tune). They ended up finding Tony Award winning Lea Salonga as a 17 year old.

SnowBells, I think people tend to expect to see 'undiscovered' talent and so are searching for a label for the acts who are already well-known as competition winners elsewhere.

You're right that 'professional' isn't the appropriate label if the act doesn't have a contract. Maybe 'previously discovered' would be better, but that's so clumsy.

Need, agree with you,it feels staged. They will struggle for votes iss my guess.

Professional means they sing for a living- it is their job, their profession. I bet Anton the Backing Singer describes himself the same way. It's not an insult- it's what they are. It's the way 4th Power are being touted as something totally new, that I object to.

Simon has said 'he doesn't know where they found them' Bull. - They have been around years, they have had a record deal (again, not a problem, so long as they are honest- and the label was owned by Sony. But Simon didn't know of them?)). In the internet age, feigning ignorance like this doesn't wash anymore. They have had millions of views on YouTube. The producers will have been very aware of them.

The annoyingly polished choreographed routines aren't what X Factor is about (and I bet they will conveniently already have a song/routine ready for every every theme during live shows).

I want them to do Agadoo.

Raahh, i will start a petition for slow / melisma ( do you spell it like that?) breathy agadoo. Or superman, either will do. They need to do this.. Lol
Could 4th power do this? I think not.

'Superman' would cause their heads to explode.

It would be brilliant.

I have nothing against them all personally- I'm sure they all love their Nan's. But they are not what I want on X Factor. I mean, they probably have their own stylists, and won't wear pleather. .

How very dare they!

at Agadoo. Or the Macarena?

I object to them, and Simon is daft if he thinks the general public can't spot it when he has a favourite. He had a grin all over his face. And not for the right reasons. I think he has boxes to tick. Little Mix are getting older, he is aiming for tweens or something probably.

I dont think they would appeal to the tweenies as little mix do somehow, they actually look older too. They might have done well on BGT, but I cant see the youngsters voting for them on this show.
There are not that many groups anyway - groups usually do badly so heres hoping its only a few weeks of them and their flicky hair. I bet Simon is fuming he didn't get the group category, but that would have raised suspicion even more I suppose. Cheryl will tire of them anyway, she wont like the competition.

I heard on the radio this morning that Grimmy is bringing back MASON to fill the spot left by DadJacket.
He didn't even get a seat

But I expect they think his knobbish attitude and the fact he might kick off any time would be good for ratings. Or something.

Hopefully he won't make it to lives- and if he does the GBP boot him off swiftly.

FFS. I would have preferred Wingman. nearly

4th power doing the Macarena would be funny. Or the Birdie Dance. In costume.

Mason??? I thought he was told to eff off and never darken the XF door again! The show really is turning into a pantomime isn't it... Simon is desperately clutching at straws allowing someone to be brought back who he saw off..

Ridiculous, isn't it? but then he gave Chezza s job, so he likes the violent types.

I hope the sound engineers and cameramen make Mason look as bad as possible. Shouldn't be hard. At least he only gets a trip to Oldham, not a jolly to the Maldives or somewhere.

I hope it's a mistake, and it is actually the mate in the glittery cardi who has been called back.

I just got his name. Mason Noise. How lame.

I missed the last two weekends X Factor shenanigans with enforced social activities.

Squoosh, sounds awful! Lol
This Mason guy was horrible, even brought someone else up with him to help him 'sing' some 'mash up' song.
Abused Simon, going on about having less airtime than the others. Lovely bloke. Surprised if he comes back, but who knows.

Ben Haenow and Kelly Clarkson have a song out! Just wanted to share that with my MN pals.
