######## 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?

whats up with Kelly Osborne?

Sharon said something about get out of hospital Kelly, is she ill?

Not decided yet - both groups are in the showdown.

Futureproof are out!!!

I hope next week Hope do a song that shows if any of them besides the badger can sing, because so far it's just been Spearmint Rhino all the way.

I like the way simon just gets on with it, is honest with his comments and votes. Sharon a few weeks ago was like a stroppy toddler.

I was lucky I only saw the first 3 as ds and I were upstairs watching fireworks out of the window.

But, I think when it gets to this stage, they are all good, they are all in the final 10 so which person goes is a bit of a lottery. I don't vote so don't know, but do you think people vote for a different person every week or do you think they are loyal to one?

Yes, I agree about Simon, it must not be nice to have to pick your own, but thats what you sign up for (maybe Sharon had a different contract!!!! lol, for sulky stroppy judges)

Not keen on Hope but dont think either bands should have been in the bottom two

I really dont like Alisha. Andy isnt very good either

and dont think much of Leon either, especially when he starts to do that 'Grandad' kind of walk as soon as he moves, I am cringing watching him!!

For me its Rhydian all the way!!!!! His voice is amazing, he doesnt tell sob stories and cry, he is confident and could hold his own in the music biz

He is the only one that I could see actually having staying power

So Louis says he wants to bring back Girl Power ? ! , Hope are just plain sleazy ,so unsubtle, which goes way beyond Girl Power for me.

only just had chance to watch this- at least, i skimmed through it very quickly to get to the results. Rhydian was awful!!! Is this x- factor, or novelty factor- o.k, with the right song he does have a good voice (phantom is obviously his thing)- but he makes EVERYTHING sound like a Lloyd Webber production.

Leon and Andy are both very dull.

II really wanted Simon to say something to stroppy Sharon when HE had 2 acts in the bottom 2, but for all his faults he managed to stay very professional- although Hope are really ott-at least they were nearly dressed this week.

And Niki has a great voice, so what if she can't perform- neither can Leona !!!(who has the personality of a wet fish).

And i can't think about Same Difference....nightmares

THought bev was fab- such class.RHydian looked like danny larue. No way future proof should have gone they were way better than hope. Same difference were just atrocious (sorry- still want to happy slap her) I just want to barf every time they are on stage. Did anyone notice what Simon said in the results show when he realised at least one of his acts was in the final show down? Naughty naughty! V. easy word to lipread!

It was "Oh bocks

Isn't Louis the manager of Girls Aloud? Wonder what they think about his comments about there being a 'gap in the market for a new girl band' and 'bring back girl power'.

Yeah but Girls Aloud are pants

There was no way Simon was going to lose 5 girls to half dress

Rhyd scares me (and DD )

I quite liked Alisha (as much as I can like any slaughtering of that song - I hate the winehouse version with a passion)

Bev is my fave

I thought Alisha did well on saturday, and I agree with the judges it was her best so far. Rhydian is amazing. He'll be kept in as people will want to see what he does each week. I want that suit.

Leon also did better I thought. He's popular, is Leon. Seems to get the votes, even the first week when he was terrible. I agree that Hope are sleazy, but thought Futureproof weren't much to write home about in the first place. Stupid name too. Simon's a bloke after all, and was bound to keep the girls in a bit longer. I think Danni or Louis will win with someone in their category, they've got the best acts.

What a shocker about Emily, eh? She tried to come across as a sweet girl who "almost died last year." As we were forever reminded, and it turns out she's nothing but a vicsous (sp?) little thug.

none of them is any good - they are all crap. Hope are a bunch of Argos tarts and those brother/sister dudes - pokers up their bums or what? I am glad Emily 'withdrew' ( yeah, right) as her voice is shite.
And yes as for that one with the back fat and the trombone stuck between her thighs....bloody 'ell. Should be called crap-factor.

I thought that with the fat overhang!!! They normally have them on amazing diets and working out so they drop weight magically each week, but not seeing it happen this time

yes - please wear suitable attire if you are overweight laydeez. She really did look spectacularly dreadful.

One of those body stocking suck it all in thingies would have worked...

gosh, I missed the fat - was laughing myself silly about the trombonist un der her leg - it's all a bit duff isn't it ?

I was going to post actually, to say, aren't they all 'curvy' girls?! Okay, I'm being polite where Niki's concerned, yes it was blatant fat overhang, I clocked it straight away!! All the females are not short of a pound or two are they, with the exception of most of Hope and Same Difference girl Sarah. Alisha's very curvy but in a 'celebrate your curves' sort of way. Bev too isn't what you'd call skinny.

There's a gym in the house, they'd want to get their fat arses in it!! Mwhaa ha ha (wicked laugh)

Oh yeah, it was funny when Simon said to Niki "you should never have let that trumpet player between your legs."

And as for Hope - "Hanky Panky - nothing like a good spanky" on a family show

Isn't the one that can sing in Hope only 15? I actually think it's a bit off having her done up like a lapdancer and singing that sort of thing .

Cod why am I only getting a strange jpeg of Sheila's wheels when I try and look at your blog?
