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.

TTFN

Haha, no it's not Ed.

She won't last though. The public want Katy perry songs, or Bieber. Not ' i will pretend i wrote it, but i didnt ' people.
I will be happy for Alisha to get the push first though.

I can’t feel sorry for Cheryl because she called her child Bear Pain

Presumably once it can be streamed they’ll need to credit the songwriter at which point we’ll know you’re buddies with Liam Payne (and therefore chezza and Si?!)

nancy People with nothing better to do

There is always something better than the x factor live tour, always

Cheryl needs therapy or to see a psychologist or someone.. She stumbles from one disaster of a relationship to another and now she has named her son Bear Payne

I'm soooo bored!!!!

For Cheryl, frankly I think Liam is disposable. She's got the baby she wanted now, she's got money of her own (and would get maintenance) and Simon would clearly have her back on the show.

Googled song, no bloody result yet

Fat Aled loves his musicals, he is singing a La La land song tonight and sang bloody Moana, how far I'll go for Judge's houses.

Fat Aled has a nan. Wow.

I think they have saved the best for tomorrow!!

It's a nanna!

How many times does he have to say "look at the size of it"

God knows who goes to the live shows, it's beyond me.

Didn't think this bloke should've got through. I've heard better singers

I saw online today where Liam posted a video of Cheryl's mum cleaning their house for them. Imagine how fun that thread would be if it was on mums net?

Is this Aled Jones?

I am so glad I haven't got family on X Factor : I'd have to spend all bloody week cleaning my house for the VT.

Lloyd is definitely one for the nans

If it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't be watching

I am guessing something’s just started on BBC1 and that’s why they’ve put this utter nonsense up last

This is so cheesy.

Chezza dosent need him, its true.

It's just as well I don't vote I'm trying, and failing, to remember what happened at the beginning of the show
