######## 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?

It is definately confirmed now - I am old.

I know this because I actually thought it was quite refreshing to see a nice young brother and sister act with no slutty, sulky, self obsessed stuff coming through..

And then reliased that nice it may be - hell would freeze over before I would actually buy any of their records!

i think the whole brother/sister thing is really , they are like stepford children

Am I the only one that admits to going back to 'Steps' days and was singing along??

lol

I said oh look max headroom when rhidian came on-

thought Niki and Rhidian and Hope were the best.

Emily to go out ????

glad i wasn't the only one thought rid looked like max headroom- what was he thinking?

Nikki sang really well, but is she really someone you will remember, or if she won , would she sink without a trace like Steve whathisname the first year...

bumpity bumpo bump bump b8ump!

Only 40 minutes before we find out who goes!!!!

Sharon was behaving very strangely. She was being a bit of a cow.

sharon was really false tonight, and i usually like her.danni is growing on me a bit

Brookstein Raahh. But we all know that G4 were the real winners that year anyway.

What has happened to Leona since she won last year? I don't follow the charts these days, but I haven't heard anything about her since she won.

I also thought that Sharon was a bit odd! wondered if she had been drinking or something!

I think the brummie girl was fab and the young one with the jazz type version of the beatles tune I just felt really sorry for, what was Danni thinking

Leona has just released a new record in the last few weeks, as far as I know !!!! Its ok, not sure if it will make number 1........

I'm so glad loads of other people have commented on Sharon's bizarre behaviour! I was embarrassed for her tonight, she made uncomfortable viewing!
Felt so sorry for that scottish boy, I really like him, hope he's not out.
Hope are a bunch of sluts and how come they sang the same song they sung at Simon's house ....not very imaginative

Yes I also liked Danni even tho' I really thought I wouldn't. I wondered whether Sharon felt a bit funny about not being the only female anymore.

Lordy how car crash was Leon...oh dear if ever a white man had no rhythm twas him.

Alesha was styled very nicely yes, fab dress/hair combo- very Foxy Brown.

Chocolatemummy - you like Kimberley? Surely not on tonight's performance?

mosschops - I think you'll find that Simon has chosen the song for them on both occasions, probably on the basis that a lot of people will only start watching at the live show stage, so will have missed their fabulous performance the first time around.

ditto cornsilk..semed like danni was the (relatively) young flirty one which forced sharon into some pervy best mates mother role...yuk

I dont know if it was kimberley
whoever saing the sinead oconnor song

Poor Leon was moving like a dad dancing at a wedding. Those dancers were all over the place. Poor lad, I thought his voice sounded really good despite everything else that was going on.

Oh phew. That was Niki. Yes, she was great. I thought you meant the first performance (Raining Men).

Steve Brookstein- that was him, and yes, G4 were robbed...

back to this year, after the hoo-ha at the rugby, we may find out who has gone out....

13:10 tomorrow afternoon.
