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

Performance of the night?!?!?!

Sharon is indulging her menopausal urges with Matt the Plasterer

He should talk to his Union about the grit in his voice.

They want to roll up his voice like an egg roll? WTF?

Sharon is way past menopausal, she’s had a least 4 new faces since then

Piggy, he can iron and plaster walls.
There isnt any more to say.

What IS an egg roll?
Is it a spring roll?

Oh just seen the one with the black slicked back hair is on! Did she get through on wild card?

He reminds me of someone but I can't think who, it's annoying me!

Whatever an egg roll is I don’t want him in the middle of one!

I remember the year Sharon practically threw herself at Shane Ward. And she was 12 years younger then. it was still mortifying.

80s aren't those basically the same action?

80's don't say that! I have been told that Saffend is this place full of gorgeous blokes and now you are ruining the illusion.

Dillite, watch TOWIE & see the truth

Lelley no, she was put through by Nicole as one of her acts. Bafflingly. Talia was the wild card.

He should talk to his Union about Sharon.

To me he kinda looks like Calvin Harris Jane

nancy aye, but Sharon is probably so pumped full of hormones she is on her third menopause

Thanks Raahh! Think I must of zoned out during that bit. Sniggering a lot about Holly looking like Duchess of Cambridge!

Dillite, 😂
Its hit and miss. Mostly miss.
Lol at ironing and plastering. Yep, no wonder his good at those shirts.

He looks like a manly Stephen form Bake off?

More Lego hair

These two can't sing at all. Not so you can make out what they are singing, anyway. I don't know why he put them through.

I can't watch TOWIE nancy, I don't want brain cancer

Good lord, the fringe is contagious!! Look at their school mates!!
