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

I can’t see Zayn on XF... he was unenthusiastic enough first time round. I don’t really understand why Liam didn’t just belt out What Makes You Beautiful. That was appalling. Proved me wrong with heading straight to hold Chez’s hand though

but Harry has been in a Christopher Nolan film. Top Trumps to him.

I don't think I like this new format for the show!

Niall goes on about clothes too! The wendies are obsessed.

I thought that Harry was the one that was doing the best with his solo stuff? Shows how much I know or care about any of them

Inigo

Piggy Harry seems to think he is the dogs bollocks

I also thought Niall’s sing was fairly good but WTF does ‘Slow hands like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry’ actually mean?

I pray hope that alisa goes home...

OK, trying to muster up a shred of interest, who do we think is going?

This feels like it’s been on for weeks

This is shit this new format. 2 hours both nights is too much.

lelley he’s not leaving here without you on him

Music there's no way Alisa is going sadly

Is this just who’s through or who came top?

Lelley it makes no sense does it!

How the fook did Soggy Sam get through?!

I don't like Niall's fake C and W crap.

But eh is the most popular in America, so it figures.

harry slightly is the dog's bollocks though...

Her trousers are awful

Ha ha ha Whentheshipgoesdown I think you will find he will be leaving with my boot up his arse!!

"It's odd how Liam needs a coat yet the women on stage only need their undies isn't it?"

Absolutely

Check out Louis' dapper trousers!

I reckon lego head will go

Please let Alisa go home

The nans have voted.

Harry's songs make me feel suicidal!
