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

It's only the first show and she's already relying on the Grandpa power

When she did that silly voice she was just like Moaning Myrtle!

She’s reminding me of Kate Middleton for some odd reason

She has lovely hair. Dont know this song.
Very arty set.

DS2 works in Spoons. I asked him when he was home last weekend if he'd ask her for ID and he said no

Another shouty song

She does scrub up well tho

Why have they stuck a load of poles in the stage..

She went off pitch there.

Why don’t they sing songs that people might want to hear?

I don't know any of these songs! (Am such a grumpy old woman tonighht)

nancy I agree!! Something we know might be a good start

I was just contemplating whether Simon actually is watching at home or whether he watched Strictly and has gone to bed now with a cocoa and a book.

They all keep emphasising that she's 'only 16' It's to throw us all off the scent that she's secretly in her 30's.

nancy is it the bouncy hair and the overlined eyes?

You could be the next Louisa Johnson Holly.
Just bear this in mind.

Also, no one gets that excited when I serve up lasagne at home.

Sorry - delayed reaction.

how are we meant to vote?

I reckon Simon threw himself down those stairs, he’s probably disappointed he only got a sick note to cover one night

If they cut back on the ads they could get it over with in half the time.

Si and Eric channel surfing at home.
' whats this dad ? '
' nah son, casualtys on now mate..'

music , I actually thought you meant Polish people.

Yeah but if they cut back the ads how would they pay for all the pleather?

I've had to admit defeat and defect to Harry Potter History of Magic on BBC2!

I just logged into a casino website and there was my cousin's face staring at me

Piggy It took me a minute to 'get ' your post I would never be able to tell if the dancers on stage were polish.

Chandler might have to flick between, I do love Harry Potter.

Dillite, sounds a bit scary! Is he or she famous,,?
