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.

Bit worried about Nicole's dress...

I meant including last night...

and Nicole....hello boys.

You grab that mic back Derm!

I'm utterly sick of the song, to be honest. But people will recognise it, unlike the original stuff.

(the GBP only thought they recognised Grace's song, because it sounded like and Adele b-side).

And bless Louis, proving that he knew their names.

The brother that has hair like that sheep from Zootopia looks a lot like Callum from Hollyoaks. He also played Shadow in American Gods.

"Less is more," says she, with her tits exploding out her dress! !

Looks like Nicole wrote his name on her pad, too.

I literally didn’t hear a word Nicole just said, and I’m a straight woman

I like Kevin.

Less is more, that’s why she went for less dress

Kevin looks a bit constipated on that stool

Yes, Nicole is certainly not going to let Alesha out shine her.

She doesn't usually need to compete with Simon's white t-shirt.

I do like him. It may be because he is hot. But hey

You need a stool to sit/stand if there’s a key change - just ask West life

nancy.

He has a stool,

He will probably stand up for the big key change.

I like this. I’d listen to this track.
I don’t like the chair though.

Raahh how was your party last night?

Fuck, she’s up and punching.

I hope she’s got super strength tit tape

Nicole looks like a giant bat.

x-post Nancy

Nicoles dress is very revealing. Dh was even ' what ? '
Kevin is a great singer.

Punk

Is Mrs O doing a spot of bull fighting after the show?

A giant bat with giant boobs...

Please don't hang upside down Nicole.
