X factor the band... Anyone watching?

[TheTeethingPoo]

It feels like I’ve gone back in time.

It’s no pop stars the rivals that’s for sure.

Also Rosie’s pants were fucking diabolical.

I have been ill all week, and forgot this was on.

But to be honest, after the celeb version and yawnsville Megan, I couldn't be bothered .

I have very fond memories of Popstars - The Rivals. I was pregnant with ds, and 'Sound of the Underground' was number 1 in the charts , Christmas week when he was born.

He's 17 at the end of the month. .

The rapping is terrible.

My ears are bleeding at this version of Havana

not watching unfortunately!

i dont like it though

so i'll live

I've only seen bits and pieces.

I love the Galway boy.

Leona loves those high notes

Just been catching up on this.

Watched the girls band be formed. 6 members seems a lot to me

No one is particularly stand out and I cannot get over some of the outfits on display.

I’m going to catch up with the boys version, but still think it’s shite

And the final is tonight...short and sweet

Eugh. They are murdering this song!

Who the girls? Think the boys pulled that off a bit better... loads more entertaining the boys have shown more personality I only like kellymarie in the girls she needs to be a solo artist really wasted on this...

How is it on for 2 hours?!

Seems such a waste of a competition anyway. You just know Simon has ££££ in his eyes and whichever group doesn’t win will just reappear in a couple of months with a single anyway.

Wouldn't be so bad if it wasnt so obvious he's only doing this because Little Mix are net year...and the All star plan fell through

Oh no the boys sound bloody awful my ears...

This has to be one of the worst shows I have seen lately. And I watched the celeb version. I'm not even watching, just drifting in and out of the room whilst decorating the house and every time I walk in, I walk into shit

Also, have those boys even sprouted any pubes yet? They look so very young.

It's quite painful

This is excruciating.

None of them can sing.

Leona Lewis is a peculiar combination - she manages to be completely devoid of personality and yet oddly irritating. I’ve devised a game whereby I take a drink every time she mentions “bringing it”. I’m on my fourth bottle of Baileys.

This is on in our house because DD is watching it. She has seen one of the contestants sing at her school so she actually recognises someone on it and is hoping the girls win!

DD also looking forward to the Masked Singer that starts in the New Year (not a Cowell show) although she has no idea who half the judging panel (Jonathan Ross and Davina McCall) are teenager

More nonsensical drivel from Nicole

Keep hearing the girl band as ‘Real IQ’

Ah well, that's DD happy! Not sure why they sent all the families on to the stage when they were still broadcasting though. Could have let them finish the song.
