X FACTOR- The LIVE shows start this Sat/Sun, 8pm. But there is no Hallowe'en theme..

[Raahh]

...which is a bit rubbish. Pugsy painted gold was one of the highlights of last year.

The theme is 'This is Me'. . So, plenty of scope there for 4th Omelette or whatever they are now called to shoe-horn a routine they have already done , into the theme. The songs are supposed to reflect who they are.

here is the song list

Mason doing 'Sorry' is quite funny.

So- I am not going out tomorrow after all and will have trick or treating done and dusted before it starts.

Thought it wd be Max, that reggae version of Adele was shocking!

Goulding. Just no. No. No.

Plus is she pregnant ?

I like Max, at least he has a reasonable voice! So relieved that alien lot have gone. They looked like a car crash of outfits, their dancing was ... well, not sure how to describe it... let's just say appalling. As spider said, their voices individually might be OK but together was an assault on my ear drums.

Can't abide Mason Noise or Sean, I actually don't like Sean's voice one little bit. In fact the only one I think is any good is Louisa, is that her name? Young girl. She can sing.

Who on earth thought Lapel-less jacket Olly and Flackers would be a good double act to present this .. they need an immediate disciplinary.

1. It doesn't need two, why would anyone think it did?
2. They talk over the top of each other
3. They are trying too too hard and it shows
4. Flackers simpers and it's annoying
5. I was ambivalent towards Olly, now he is just irritating on this
6. They make the show too 'busy'

I could go on.

Rousette good summary

I don't think MasonAnnoys will last long- I predict he will be forced to leave due possible drug taking/starting a brawl in a posh club/sleeping with an under-age groupie.

We will then find out, he's really a posh boy, whose parents are bank rolling his bid for stardom, and they paid off the producers to let him back on.

And the bloke with the glittery cardi? His secret gay lover.

Disclaimer- This is all a product of my fervent imagination of course, and refers to the entirely fictional MasonAnnoys, following the same script as others before him.

I can quite believe that Mason has a very well-heeled Nan.

hi, so behind with the news and just about everything these days. so Alien uncovered have gone already after Si called them the next new thing?
Raahh, agree above about Mason - he does a have a look of the night about him! he might end up on other reality shows though.. Jeremy kyle?
Roussette, agree about Murs and Flack, she is annoying, he would be a bit better on his own, a mini Dermie.
The simpering and short dresses is too much ( at her age- even if she is a few decades younger than I!)
I whizzed through on tape last night, so missed a lot really. The girls are so dull - early prediction that a man wins again this year.
wonder when Haenow and Kelly will appear?

Haenow performed on Saturday!

oh, I missed him too! I am so behind with it all. was he any good? I noticed Ellie Goulding's performance was panned by the critics today,. worst ever I read!
great thread again though. we are sticking with it.

Ellie was awful- really weak. DD1 kept asking if she was really Ellie, or one of the contestants. She does a fine line in poo squat/wanting a wee dancing though, if you like that sort of thing.

@ well heeled Nan

I think there is a mob of heavies behind Monica and Mason. Both a bit scary, both let back in, without the say so of the Great British Public. Very suspect.

Oh God, what a vision, Monica and Mason in the final, being asked by Olly 'Was them comments what you was hoping for?' while Flack simpers and sniffs behind his right shoulder and Cheryl Fernandez of Monaco slips through a gap in the floorboards.

didn't notice Caroline 'sniffing' isn't that a sign of something weird going on?
Monica and Mason part of the 'firm' , could explain it, or they have 'something' on Cowell?
Shame about Ellie as saw her at Glasto on the TV last year and she wasn't bad at all ( she loves her drums that girl) and that fifty shades song wasn't too bad. They all go through a bad spell I suppose.

Mason has a Nan too? my god I have missed so much this weekend.

We will then find out, he's really a posh boy, whose parents are bank rolling his bid for stardom, and they paid off the producers to let him back on.

He's already said his dad has paid over 100k on getting him where he is today..

Hair, so Mason is a bit of a ringer then? Lol
Must have dirt too on folk... Just my opinion

I'm not into it as much this year, not sure why. Probably lack of Dermot and I don't like the contestants as much.

Just to say I saw the other spawn of Richie (not the one engaged to a Little Mix) whilst at the Holiday Village in Egypt in May half term. As expected, he sounded just like his Dad singing and was shit. The two boys on their in house entertainment team had better voices.

As all club singers do, he proceeded to murder uptown funk.

80s I'm merely theorising.

The more I think about it, the more crap Flack seems. If her autocue broke I doubt she'd be able to ad lib.

Just remembered his name is Shane Richie Jnr !!

The whole programme is in a bit of a mess. Tumbling viewer figures, shambolic nonsense on the live show last week, inept presenters...

I doubt it will return next year.

Hersetta427 I'd be seeking compensation from my holiday provider if I'd been forced to sit through the warblings of a Richie spawn.

Shane Ritchie' s child? Oh dear..
I know he is in a band.
Squoosh, they may re brand it next year. Needs a overhaul.
New everything, a Rock band idol would be good..
( proper musicians )

Oh yeah. I'm sure Mr Cowell is brainstorming right now for his new It's Definitely Not The X Factor show.

I couldn't quite understand it - some of them sounded truly awful (Seann for example with Kiera not far behind) but the judges were gushing - even Simon.

I think 4th whatever their name is this week should be eliminated just for wearing that fucking awful bow...what were they thinking?

Loved that Simon even called Alien the wrong name when he sent them home - even he couldn't keep up with all the names changes - how can it happen that all 3 groups changed their name. Mickey and Mouse come to mind.
