X FACTOR- It's time for the FIRST LIVE SHOW! Saturday 8.20pm...Simon will be missing, they are ignoring Hallowe'en, there are wild cards...

[Raahh]

and the new twists etc are all a bit of a mess- so listen very carefully

I will be out (out) so to cheer myself up, I am starting the thread a bit early.

And the new format is a bit confusing.
Simon has definitely washed his hands of it all- so the Great British Public will be responsible for all the votes, no judges votes at all.
Someone will leave on Saturday, and Sunday as well (I think). There will be no deadlock.

And the top two acts get to sing again to compete to win great prizes (I think Simon has been watching Crackerjack (crackerjack)).

The categories are split over the nights - I think.

Told you it was confusing.

The wildcards haven't officially been announced, so don't know what they are singing. And I'm sad about the lack of Hallowe'en songs.

Some of the song choices are very odd- and I think the ones who sing original songs are at real disadvantage with the GBP.

Anyway. Off to watch dd1 play football in the rain. Will check in later, before I go off to my party.

Him

I got a bit bored of Heritage's book in the end and so many typos... I should offer to be his editor.

He won't make it through, I don't see the 'likeability' tbh.

Well at least that was a bit lively!

My Nan would call them lucky legs, lucky they don’t break

Who would buy his music? What would even his music be?

He did put socks on tonight though as we can all see.

Why is Sharon sporting spinach leaves in her ears? Nicole is stoned again

Nancy, how long before we see Cheryl crying on the front of the mags ? Lism doesnt seem the steady sort..

I haven't read it yet Piggy. I was afraid I'd be disappointed as I like him in small doses!

Plasterer buggered this up. Shame.

He’s got his own style? They’ve dressed him up like an extra from Grease

Liam and Cheryl won't last long.

80s, I can’t see Liam & Chezza being a long term thing!

Inigo why are we looking at pics of handsome Welsh actors?

nancy That's what I was trying to think of, couldn't think of what film the style was from

Lol nancy better hope there's no grease around or he'll slip and break his sparrow legs! (Quote from dh: last time I saw legs like that they were hanging out of a nest)

They’ve got a disco kitchen

Cos I thought he looked like his younger brother!

nice house.

They've got a nice kitchen.

I am a full on Liam and Chezza denialist. Now they have a baby it’s probably time for me to start believing in it

This is an Express Yourself week? When are they going to express themselves then?

Oh I see inigo

Cheryl is such a beautiful looking woman with such crap taste in men!
Im not a fan, but it makes me wonder..

Boo to your original songs
