######## 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?

The Hope youngest girl, Phoebe, she's 16.

well she looks like a child prostitute in that caes. Shame on her parents!!

Agree. On the first show she was saying "my parents are going to kill me" because she was wearing a midriff exposing outfit. Obviously they've relaxed their standards...

Nicki aparently lost a huge of weight

she will prob have lose saggy skin not fat

so what shocks are we expecting tonight then?

Please let the smiley twins be out this week. Mind you, I wish there was a 'heavy metal' week, i'd love to see Sarah grin her way through 'Bring you daughter to the slaughter

What other theme weeks could they have? Am bored of the big band/movie stuff- lets have something more original- like gangsta rap week.

Are Same Difference twins?

no they are not, just running out of things to call them really...

will stick with pinky and perky...

I hope that brother/sister act go out tonight- she is so bloody annoying.

Lol at bring your daughter to the slaughter as a song choice for them .

only just started watching today's episode.

who has sung waht so far?

niki sang kelly clarkson, because of you,
same dif did don't feel like dancing scissor sisters
andy did chasing cars, snow patrol
beverly did james blunt, your beautiful, and missed hope

Hated Rhydian with a passion when I first saw him in the auditions but tonight I thought he was amazing.
Same difference AHHHHHHHHHGH!!!Does he only have one jumper or something?
Niki and Alysha were good, Bev not her best but good compared to the others who were at best pants and worse CR*P. Why do people vote for Leon? - he has a dreadful voice no power in the lower range at all and as for Andy nice pecs, shame about the voice. Hope?- well they'll need it tonight.

Rhydian was the best tonight! Didn't hear Niki apart from the trailer though.

Shane Ward about to sing.

Leon sang like he was in a Karaoke bar! Awful!

Same Difference aka Poundshop Bedingfields

Leon and Andy in the bottom two acts hopefully this evening.

Well I am surprised at who are the bottom two! Don't think Sharon deserved to be there!

Also just have to add, what on earth is Danni wearing?

Andy need to go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree that Rhydian is fab. Think he is spectaculary talented.

Whoops that should read Beverley and not Sharon!

Andy should have come back with his coat on.

How did it come to pass that Beverley was in the bottom two?. There is no accounting for taste.

I thought should have been between Andy and Leon

I agree Andy and Leon were the worst - Beverly should not have been in the bottom two....

i have a theory on why Bev was in the bottom two- the curse of James blunt- 'you're beautiful' has become one of those annoying songs that gets trotted out at every karaoke. And didn't someone do it last year? or could have been the year before.

Be a bit more original- she has a great voice.

But....and it pains me to say it, but I think i have warmed to Rhydian....(a sentence i never thought I would write!!)

Danni looked like a mackerel. And what the f had she done to her hair? It looked awful, really brittle and dry.

Rhydian is amazing, he's easily the best there. Niki and Bev are good too, but Rhydian is more intriguing, not just another good woman singer. I know he's a bloke, but you know what I mean?

I cannot believe how bad Andy was. He masacared that great Snow Patrol song. No wonder he got his marching orders and was desperately trying not to bawl his eyes out at the end. I was nearly crying listening to him sing. Both times.

I agree about the song choice for Bev. Louis needs to take his head out of his arse sometimes. Doesn't he know that that song has become one of the most loathed in recent times?

Same Difference are very good at what they do. You have to admit they have great energy and are very polished. Yes, they're annoying. They just need to loosen up the overly forced grins. It must be agony on their jaws. Agree about the cardi.

agree with both your posts Raahh and MummyP - and I have warmed to Rhydian too - but he cant win, can he? he is just so weird???
