######## X Factor live shows start tonight ######

[PhoenixSoaring]

5.30pm ITV1 (before the rugby) then results at 10pm (after the rugby)

I only watch tv once a year and that is to watch X Factor (I know I am sad, and should get out more...) but who is going to join me in this bundle of weekly fun?

blimey - she seemed so sweet too !

Sharon Osbourne's gonna be pissed off!!!! I feel so for the ones who's place she had too

I am letting myself get far too passionate about this

saw this is the paper today- it really did look like a nasty attack. tbh, Emily was lucky not to be booted out last week- she was terrible. Don't know if she will be able to go ahead with a live performance,after news exposure like this, surely.

just realised, she's pulled out..., so saturday won't be aprob!!

i agree that it is really unfair to those who didn't go through when she was put in the live shows. i would be livid.

wonder what will happen now, Alisha really isn't strong enough to keep beating off the competition, and that will leave sharon actless- which will really send her over the edge

Glad emily is going thought she had a bit of bad attitude. she was really arsey with simon last week when he said her singing was flat( well it was!) She should never have been put in the live final- all her boot camp auditions were rubbish.

She should never have been put in the live final- all her boot camp auditions were rubbish- she was only put through because they wanted to prove that they were right to include 14 year olds.

sorry first time I posted it said it hadn't worked then I decided to add some more!

It is heartening to see a Mother accept her child has done wrong.

My husband wonders how much of the statement was drafted by the Press Office!

Mrs O is going to be gutted. Emily was crap on Saturdays show and now she is left with the crap Alisha . Looks like there will only be 3 judges then?

I think the standard of this year's contestants is really poor. Niki, Beverly and (sorry can't stand him but he can sing) Rhydian are the only ones with any real talent. Future proof are ok. Same difference are nausiating, Hope's votes are obviously proportionate to the number of horny men watching and the girls'lack of clothes. I am always amused by Simon's expression when he is watching them (good job he is sitting behind a table ) The rest are all flat as pancakes both in terms of personality and pitch.
Don't you just love it though?

Just watching the repeat of last week's results show ( my children insisted!) Is it me or was Sealion Dion really awful?

Why do they insist on calling it happy slapping?

There's nothing happy about it.

It's violence.

And yes sealion was crud.

I would quite happily "happy slap" the girl from Same difference- wonder if that would wipe the inane smile from her face? ( only joking- not really the violent type0

YAY Big Band night!!!

I love Rhydian. Like Liberace, Freddie Mercury and Shirley Bassey all wrapped up one loopy package, and what a good voice. Hope he wins - the rest aren't a patch on him.

Simon was right about Niki - she sang the song ok but she couldn't perform it , the dancing was painful.

Is no one watcdhing tonight? I am loving Fern and Danni's makeup tonight, I want it.

I'm watching Turquoise, but was a bit behind time on Sky+, so was avoiding the thread in case it gave anything away! Have just caught up to live though, just in time for the results .

Thought Alisha was terrible again, and should def go.

Oh pants! I like both of the bands . Expect I'd save Hope though, as they are the ones that I look forward to every week.

Flippin eck wasn't expecting that!

who got booted?

No-one yet, but it's between Hope and Futureproof.
