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

Raahh omg used to love the group mime! Always so bad but entertainment!

The intros are so long!

Does she not have nipples??

Punk it's Halloween

WTF is Nicole doing?

Oh good, fucking fireworks all over the place again. I swear general public should not be allowed to buy them

dillite It was outside (my sister decorates her garden, and has lots of fire things and heaters), but it was still cold .

I didn't drink that much, but it went right to my head.

There were some great costumes. Apart ds (who is nearly 15, and sat in his hoody looking grumpy). It was a good night, but I don't remember much when i got home

Talia forgot her trousers

Sharon could do strictly in that outfit!

Maybe Nicole is also pissed that there wasn't a proper hallowe'en theme, and decided 'fuckit. I'm Shamazing, I'm wearing my bat frock. Or some of it. '

Sounds like a fantastic party Raahh. And your teenager did dress up- as a moody teenager

I like Sharon's jacket, bet it cost a few bob.

That's because they are wrapped round Nicole's boobs dillite

dillite he played the part well. We took pity on him, and dh took him home. To be honest, dh wanted to go home (he'd been up really early) so it was win-win. No-one expected ds to be there, so his brief presence was a bonus.

But he missed out on the pizza delivery.

Damnit, got caught out by the early start time! Have I missed anything good? (asking in hope rather than expectation)

Nicole just annoys the fuck out of me.

Nice breasts, but do we need to see so much of them on a family show? Or am I just getting old?

Talia still looks younger than Holly, though.

Noisy so far we've had the Cutkelvins do Pink- it was OK. And Kevin. He looked lovely, and sat on a stool. And stood up again.

Shocking song choice

Love the cutkelvins. Love dishy Kevin

But everything feels over produced somehow

FFS- JL Wandies , really ??

It's been brilliant Noisy you missed it all (nah not really)

Oh God make it stop.

I don't know what it is but Talia is just soooooo irritating

Why is this slowed down?!

She is bloody terrible. And that song is horrible too.

Why are they making her do this? Why didn’t they make Liam sit through it too?
