######## 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?

Nilki is starting to remind me of Jane Mcdonald...

Dannii crying was TOO much, imo.

do you think they let phoebe slip through the net?the others sound like backing singers.
i'm on wine

i agreed with Louis when he said Phoebe was carrying the group- what IS the point of the rest of them. So, i think shots are called for...

"you know I love you'- 6 shots....

took me a while there to figure what leon was singing...

Dd (5 y o) said of Rhydian "He's as still as a statue. He's not even blinking!" So we counted - he only blinked three times (that the camera caught) during his lovely "There's a place for us".

ooh- Simon chewing pencil....need more drink...

(Raahh wanders off to find alcohol...)

I did love Rhyd- but he didn't blink, did he?

Just watching re-cap and cringing at Same Difference.... wish something WOULD stop them

rhydian to win

Rhydian was FANTASTIC

I really hope he wins, no one is anywhere near as good as him

DH said he could see Nicki on a cruise ship

Leon is soooooooooo boring!

rhydian is star, thought he was freak when he first auditioned but he is now my fav

to think, many weeks ago, i wanted Rhyd to go....NOW HE MUST WIN!!!!!!!!!

Leon is very dull, and can only sing in one style it would seem.

Niki has proved she is really only a cabaret singer, despite what the judges think. Sadly, Bev has begun to bore me.

Hope were not good at all, Phoebe was not in tune for most of it. Same Difference still scare me....

Wow. You're all serious.

Wow.

i am vv drunk and keep repeating myself...

Rhydian is the only decent thing in this dire program

i get the feeling Simon no longer wants to do this programme- he would rather concentrate on the U.S version. He is trying to sabotage things by getting Same Difference to win, just for a laugh.

Am I alowed to admit that I do love the song SD sang?!!!!! lol

I ahted Rhyd to start with as well, tonight he was amazing (and thats probably my afvourite song anyway).

I do like Same Difference as well, can't stick the rest though- either boring or just terrinble (Leon and No-Hope fitting the latter category)

dh call them Hopeless
i think louis was right, he had good point. phoebe the only girl who can sing, rest are just backsingers.

I would imagine Simon is sitting there praying that Rhydian will win instead of his own act....knowing he will make them a fortune!!

Sharon annoyed me when she grilled Rhyd on auditioning for Joseph- at least he's not a happy slapper! And he's not the only one who has had 'other' experience- Niki has recoreded a single...

The brother from Same difference, reminds me of H from steps. With dark hair.

Diva, sharon likened Hope to the pussycat dolls the other week- ironically, their 'lead' singer has just gone solo...

I do think Phoebes hair looks better, now it isn't 2-tone...

yes, one off SD reminds me of H also!!

I also like Rhydian as he doesnt cry and tell sob stories

and all this "Im doing it for my son, to give him all he needs"

er.........at the age he is, wouldnt he prefer his mum to not be away for months than lots of money

then all the "My Mum is a single mum and brought us up on her own" er.............as have lots of women

really does my head in

and Rhydian hasnt said one thing along those lines

anniebear you are so right about sobbery
sympathy vote or what
btw, does any1 know rest of pussycatdolls. i assume nicole now know doing solo is so much better
