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

[PhoenixSoaring]

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?

i know i am talking to myself at the mo, but the brother and sister act MUST BE STOPPED..... they are EVILLLL.......It is like auditions for grease is the word all over again...shudder....

Emily's outfit was very odd

i felt so sorry for leon though.....way out of his depth, he looked petrified and stiff

alesha has toned down her blue eye shadow a little
she looked great compared to the rest- agree the song did her no favours...

just seen rid- sorry, but IS this the halloween special, or something- he's got bright white hair!!!! Does anyone remember Max Headroom? Max Headroom sings....

no...he looks like one of those egg cup cress heads....

he reminds me of billy idol with the hair do

although-how sharon 'i am mrs ossie osbourne' can call rid wierd is a little off.....

she is very 70s, but i think it really suits her

i agree- about Alesha, she could be fab...i love her hair....

but was Rid wearing contacts?

sharon was very bizarre this evening
I liked the style of Aleesha, but thought her performance was wishy washy.

I previously liked Daniel... but I agreed with Simon, it was really a bit dull. Even Louis was bored- and he was the mentor....oh God- the little boy sympathy vote!!!! Boo....

Leon was dire and ,the firts girl, was it Kimberley, in red , needed tit tape on the dress and decent underwear which stayed put and wouldn't ride down to reveal nipple outlines !

hope were AWFUL -the vocals realy drab and i was praying the girl with with the very low cut top didn't move too much...could have been a wardrobe malfunction...

does kimberly look a bit odd or is it just me????

sharon is pissed

I felt sorry for Rhydian, he is a bit of a dick but can sing and is professional, the rest is mainly editing - did anyone notice that on the quick run thru at the end, they deliberately put in the bit where he missed a word? He's entertaining, far more than chico.
Sharon was bloody wierd - all that OTT come to mama crap.

All pretty substandard IMO - Nikki was quite good, Rhydian was interesting, the rest were average to rubbish. I missed the podgy barmaid at the beginning - was she rubbish?

I thought HOpe were miserably unsexy, the tall one looked like a tranny. The two tone one can sing though.

turqoise she looked wierd.and i really thought that the aretha/george duet was too big a song for the young girl

I am torn now- but think i would like to see same difference go for being wrong wrong WRONG .. or Kimberley, ( to see if she has bought any waterproof mascara yet- lol)

agree Turquoise - thought the tall one in the girl group looked awkward throughout

anyone else think the brother/sister thing is a bit...... odd?

Can't see where the duet will go from now , they can hardly do love songs without it seeming weird

they did one in the earlie progs Lizs - decidedly weird

I think Rhydian is FANTASTIC

as least you havent seen him cry buckets and tell a load of sob stories

I hope he goes far, he is different from all the others at least!

and has a fab voice
