X FACTOR- It's Judges' Houses- and it is on ****SAT/SUN**** from this week (8pm).

[Raahh]

I nearly missed this, because I thought it was still only on on Sunday.

And I am REALLY disappointed- because Grimmy isn't in Oldham. He's in the Cotswolds. Probably a wise move.

Also, in a twist, tonight's is recorded- but the result as to who goes through (finally) to the live shows is live. I think. I might have got that wrong. No idea what anyone is singing. There will probably be Whitney or J-Hud, with a smattering of Bey-Bey.

And 4th Power have changed their name to 4th Impact. Thrilled by that.

I need nibbles.

See y'all later.

Was that a handbag?! God I'm so thick, I don't know what I thought it was.... I've just googled him, apparently he carries tins of tuna in it. Now it all makes sense

4th power or whatever they're called already have CDs on amazon apparently. What a surprise!

Tins of tuna?!

FYI The boys were on Grimshaw's show this morning.

There was a picture in the Sun yesterday ( I only buy that rag for Ross Ally's TV round up on a Tuesday, not a regular reader at all. But I do find him funny and his column isn't on line, otherwise I would never buy it)
anyway, it was a pic of Rocky from 'chicken run' and Grimshaw. Now I know why I find his eyes so odd! I did like that he said 'thank you' to his boys though. caught a bit of his show one morning and he seemed alright on the radio, just a bit out of his depth with this I think.
Is Sean's ball thing a bag then? very odd guy, although I do like him. I don't think he will win it.
Raahh, val doonican!! Paddy Mcginty's goat could be a goer, sung in a breathy style.?

80s 'Paddy McGinty' in JL advert style would be great.

Raahh, so many songs they could overhaul!
I heard 'welcome home' the other day. That would be good slowed down.
..

Not that it matters, but is Anton gay?

little, I had a quick whizz around the x factor websites for you, apart from his ' drug hell' story there wasn't any mention of a girlfriend/ boyfriend or what ever. Only scanned that bit but sounded pretty awful time for him.

Simon has the worst category I think - the overs rarely do well, although I might be mistaken that Matt the Hat was in Danni Minogue's left overs? then Olly Murs went on to do much better things and he only came second. if they give Bupsi some bongo drums or even Anton, it might help a bit??

hi, I hope nobody thinks I am being in any way 'racist ' with my comment above - only thinking of Wagner and his manic performance a few years back and how that helped him make it a long way in the 'competition' . that's all! was being silly really. I like Anton, he will be the one with the 'journey' I think as he is older too. not keen on Bupsi though.

• I hope Mason gets the boot first..

or 4th power or whatever they are called.

I think they changed the 16-25 category to 16-28, just so that Mat was included in the unders, rather than the overs. I might have made that up though. He was definitely in the 'boys' category. That was the year the lovely Wanger was an Over.

The80sweregreat- I don't think you are racist at-all. (BTW- I have the same hair texture as Bupsi and Anton) .

I think Bupsi should be voted off, she's mad!

raahh, thanks, it wasn't until I posted I thought 'oh no.. I was referring to Wagner which was always the performance I enjoyed the most that year! bless him..
this new lot are not as whacky though are they? I think they will all be mega serious somehow.

If Bupsi had toned it down, she would probably have been ok. All the 'I'm mad me' antics have made her look desperate. Her voice is really not that bad, in a cabaret way. I thought her Judge's houses performance was quite restrained

Anton has an amazingly expressive face. Some of his mannerisms are quite camp. He would have made a brilliant Spitting Image puppet- one that constantly cried. In fact, it's a real shame SI is no longer around, they would have had a field day with some of the contestants over the years.

Ooh a Spitting Image Xfactor would be hillarious!

Little, thank you. Wagner and his bongos . Happy days!

Ps, Spitting image would have a field day with x factor last few years.
..grimmy and his mad eyes!

Spitting image that's so funny.

Watched it for all of 10mins and got bored. Why have they pinched the really tacky gold set from the GoldenBalls quiz that Jasper Carrott hosts ?? It looks cheasp, tacky and the whole show/format has definitely run out of steam. And the seat thing isnt doing it for me. It feels like a killing time thing, just pick already and get on with it ffs.

Whatever happens/whoever wins, Sean Miley Moore is a Star ... he can sing the phonebook and I would listen.

Did anyone see that Monica (she of the enormous hoops) has been voted back in as the wild card. Another shouty female with a sob story -just what we need.

Grr, I wrote a long reply and lost it.

I read about Monica- as wild cards go, it's not as bad as Chris Maloney (a.k.a Nanfucker). Will be interesting to see how big her earrings get.

There is also to be no Hallowe'en theme

Sazzle- I think Simon is regretting the live format- I doubt it will return.

And Golden Balls was probably presented far more professionally and was more entertaining

Whilst I am looking things up- here is the new thread NEW THREAD

Saves me a job tomorrow
