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.

Why do they have these weird fringe styles, the one in the duet of brothers has it too.

GetTheGoodLookingGuy you missed the most obvious one! PLEATHER!

Grandparents in VT/ audience...

Ear plugs at the ready...

Yep, x bingo is good fun.
Oh god Alisa woman. Just nooo

Boy oh boy does Sharon look excited about her being back

And dogs around the country cry out in pain

Can we add pleather to the bingo?

nancy

Someone murdering Beyoncé/ Whitney for yer Bingo

And that lass already said 'journey' which should be there.

Getthegoodlookingguy, you forgot pleather, "that wasn't your best performance" and " made it your own"

Thank goodness my dog is deaf and has no shit to give about the high pitch screams that will come out of the TV

Plinth!

Don't forget to add the saying, this Is all I want to do, I was born to sing etc

I hope she messes up!

She’s like a Filipino Subo

Pleather and shouty. Typical X Factor combo,

She is annoying. Too shouty.
She will give Aled a run for his money.

She's fine for a show. Not this. No one would buy her music. And I hated how she got here

Dear god what is this shouty dirge?

None of these songs have tunes

I want a bloody tune!!

Pleather dress and oh so shouty!!

Singing barefoot and/ or beginning lying down.

Bingo!

I must be too old, I haven't recognised any of the songs so far

Well she won't be going home anytime soon will she... the public voted her back in, so why on earth would they vote her back out.
