X FACTOR -Celebrity Edition- It's the LIVE SHOWS already!

[Raahh]

Doesn't time fly, when they really shorten the format?

I think the audition stuf was just a bit pointless, and now that Jenny has been re-instated, and Vinnie Jones is in, without even having to sing, it makes it seem like they all got a nice jolly abroad. The Only one who took is seriously was Jezza Edwards, who was deluded into thinking he could actually sing .

Re-cap of who is who (can't find a proper list of who is singing what other than Megan is singing an original again)

Simon and the Groups

The Islanders- Love Island alumni
V5- female group of Social media influencers
Try Star- Rugby players .
Max and Harvey- twins with a CBBC show

Louis and the Unders
Olivia Olson- best known for Love Actually- aged about 12
Megan McKenna- Someone from Towie. Who has already released things.
Kevin McHale- a singer from Glee
Jonny Labey- actor and perdormer. Probably better at dancing.

Nicole and the Overs
Ricki Lake- Presenter and actress.
Victoria Ekanoye- Corrie Actress
Martin Bashir- Journalist. Not known for singing.
Vinnie Jones- Footballer and actor
Jenny Ryan- The Vixen , from The Chase. Was dumped. Is back.

So there you are.

I have vodka. No Stoptover for me. No sirree.

.

Oh, and we will find out who leaves tonight, no Sinday show anymore!

What’s the betting Martin stays again?

Nicole's about to be 2 acts down.

I didn't think she was that amazing but she was definitely chuffing better than Vinnie!

It's a popularity contest though too hey shrug

*🤷🏻‍♀️

This is daft because the judges are always going to vote for who they are mentioning to stay. So it's always going to be down to the other judge or the public

Haha I nearly forgot about the results! WHO is voting for Martin??

Both Johnny and Victoria were very gracious.

What a farce.

Well if Martin ends up with the recording contract that will serve Simon right !

noisy perhaps there's some conspiracy to get Martin to win so that Simon would have hell trying to figure out what to do with him after the show? Like there's was the plan to get Rage Against the Machine to a Christmas No1 one year.

Just tuned in in time for the final two vote off. Poor Jonny.

Is this a stitch up and just a vehicle for Megan Mckenna to win ...I don't understand why TV companies keep giving her the time of day, she was a horror on Ex on the beach, TOWIE and BB ..such bullying behaviour too. She is laughing getting to do her own songs and making money everytime she sings on the show...her record company wasn't anything to do with SYCO was it? Sorry to see Victoria go.

@magentastardust

I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, she was very young when she was on all the shows you mentioned but fuck me, she was SO aggressive!!

Morning all! Been reading through your comments, does like last night was as baffling as last week!

Will watch later and report back( when I say watch, it will probably be 2 seconds per song /critique and then look up who left.

Which obviously I know, now, but it will be something to do whilst I iron!

I bet si won't do this type of show again if Martin wins.

Jenny's dress was ridiculous!

Just been catching up as I was out last night. I can’t stand the desperation from Bashir and the “I’m a 57 year old trying my best “ act.

And Vinnie is awful yet they all give him bullshit

Well, so far I've whizzed through the first 3- and so far my thoughts are (already knowing the resuts)
Johnny was good- but Simon was never going to like it. He never likes musical theatre type acts.

I didn't like Jenny- they need to drop the matching outfits. Felt the song was just too much.

BUT- both of these sounded 'live'

The Islanders, had so much backing it sounded like a recorded track. Yet they loved it.

I have now just heard Victoria, I'm never a fan of Beyonce, too overblown, but she can sing. i'm not a fan of the style.

I liked Victoria and the Glee guy! Especially his pink outfit and the legs in the background.
I don't know any new songs these days ; I'm less hip than Louis Walsh is!

I had to go out.

I am baffled by Nicole giving her safe seat to Simon's act.

And Simon was a hypocrite - Victoria was 'old fashioned' and too much staging, but Vinnie seemed to have half the audience on stage and shouted, in a very pub singer 'old fashioened' way and he was great

And I agree it is becoming a not very well disguised vehicle Megan.

They also keep changing the rules.

Simon should have been made to vote.

But it felt fixed, never ! Nicole gave the safe seat to Simon's act and he didn't vote on hers

I’m confused about how the safe seat is going to work anyway. Do they drop it at some point? Because now Louis is down to just Megan and The Glee Guy (I cant remember his name, sorry) surely he will just give Glee Guy the safe seat every week as Megan is sure to get through on public votes? And once a judge is down to one act they will surely just save that act every week guaranteeing an act in the final?

Surely it would have been more interesting if the judges COULDN’T give the safe seat to their own acts, therefore having to save someone they thought was deserving from another category.

Martin B forgot the words and was awful as was Vinnie : they all had staging apart from V 5 I think? Yet si only didn't like Victoria's and she had less people than the rugby lot and Vinnie!
I must admit, it is quite entertaining and funny! I'm enjoying seeing which 80 s ' classic' V J will attempt next week and if Martin might even improve. Dermot is always so nice to everyone and they look like they are having fun in the green room.
I still think he'll ditch this format next year though! Back to the general public! Who will get a worse ride than the celebs.

MyNew that would make more sense- but Simon clearly doesn't care.He kept getting his shows mixed up and calling it the golden buzzer. No-one picked him up on it (well they might- I did fast forward the whole show in about 10 minutes).

Si calling it the ' golden buzzer' was funny plus he put the screws on Nicole to vote for the rugby lot ( probably said ' your fired if you dont' or something!)
Nicole made it sound like she was winning WW3 pushing that button! Like anyone really cares! Lol

I'm trying to catch up. I liked Vinny and his ska dancing
