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

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?

I've got to add my twopenceworth. I was quite surprised that Kimberley went out, I had her down as a favourite. I didn't think she did too badly, for a first live show. Perhaps the Public don't like her personality.

I really felt for Leon. It was cringeworthy. He's been given a lifeline, I think if he doesn't up his game next week, he'll be out. They go on about how shy and unconfident he is - so why is he there?

Rhydian - love him or hate him - was brilliant, although it was a bit Phantom Of The Opera, iykwim, however, he will perform brilliantly every week, you can just tell.

Niki was good, but she's got an unfair advantage over the others in that she's a trained singer and was with a group that didn't have any chart success. Personally I don't think I can stand hearing one more mention of her Dad or see any more tears. Call me harsh.

Roll on next week.

Oh, DD (11) and I thought that Hope weren't as good as they thought they were, or as the judges surprisingly thought they were. How can they say they're as good as Girls Aloud?

Futureproof (stupid name) were crap.

Same Difference were very Butlins. However, like Rhydian, you can tell that they will perform well, although I think the public are soon going to get sick of them.

i have now heard the Leona single 3 times on the radio this morning- and it is now growing on me. It is VERY mariah, but i keep humming the chorus...

somehow, i can't see any of the curent mob having the talent to be away from the spotlight for nearly a year, and then come back with quite a good song. The usual way is to realease half a dozen singles in the first six months before the bubble bursts....

And i agreee about Sharon- what a numpty! it is a competition- they are there to be judged- it's her job. At some point, esp with only 3 acts each, it is inevitable one of their acts will be in the final 2- will she refuse to vote every week??? Sack her....

DP watched the repeat this afternoon and wondered if Sharonw as il again. Seemed lke she was led onto teh stage at the start, and he said it looked like she was on strong pain meds and or sedatives.

MaryAnnSingletomb · 21/10/2007 17:34

I actually liked Niki a lot (despite all the sob story palaver with her ), disappointed by Emily and all the boys who were just dull and liked the stripy hair girl in Hope.

Kimberley and Sharon walked out (mot wanting to pick between the two girls - K and Alesha) Don't like singers like Leona either.

MaryAnnSingletomb · 21/10/2007 18:35

I mean Kimberley was chucked out and Sharon walked

not sure, don't think she looks good with such dark hair,though

WestCountryLass · 21/10/2007 19:55

Oooo, I loved Leona, I thought she sang beautifully (in a Mariah way), she is gorgeous and comes across as a sweet, nice person.

I don't like Rhidian or Leonas style, it is not my cup of tea, but you surely have to appreciate that they are good at what they do!!!

FlameBat · 21/10/2007 20:14

Right - on ITV2, so writing all my thoughts as I go, then will press post when it finishes so I don't see who got chucked out

  1. Dodgy dress and song in general

Boy band rejects - nyeh

teacher - I liked

first bloke singer left no impression

youngest girl - terrible song choice (but hurrah for no mention of almostdiedlastsummer)

Chirpy and chirpier - bring back McDull

Nikki - Loved suprisingly (hate the dadondeathbed thing)

Terrible song for second bloke too

Alisha - nyeh

Rhyd - ARGH! It is I would do anything... NOT I will

Nothing special about "single dad"

Not desperately excited about Hope either (I did like Phoebe though)

Votes etc all done - I think they made the right decision

CantSleepWontSleep · 21/10/2007 20:47

Very succinct flame!

MaryAnnSingletomb · 21/10/2007 21:14

like your style flamebat !

tortoiseSHELL · 21/10/2007 21:31

Didn't watch it, but those people who said the 'brother sister' thing was weird - one word - Carpenters.

unknownrebelbang · 21/10/2007 21:37

One difference - The Carpenters were class.

MaryAnnSingletomb · 21/10/2007 21:38

yes, Carpenters were fab, these are very sub

tortoiseSHELL · 21/10/2007 21:41

Haven't seen any of it, but just struck me that brother/sister needn't be wrong - but agree, carpenters were unusual!!!

Hekate · 21/10/2007 21:42

Sharon O spat her dummy right out, didn't she? She's such a silly woman.

MummyPenguin · 22/10/2007 11:45

I'm not completely loving Leona's new look....

Raahh · 26/10/2007 18:36

just as i thought...ds (4.10) has picked up on the Leona single- and has been going round all day singing

'ooh ooh bleating gloves'

i suppose it is better than the real lyrics!

PhoenixSoaring · 27/10/2007 15:42

okay who is watching tonight? And who will be going home?

pinkbubble · 27/10/2007 16:01

Hi PS, I will be watching tonight!!!!! Oh the excitement!

Hope you had a good few days away!

MaryAnnSingletomb · 27/10/2007 16:05

ME !! I think that the scary brother and sister should go, but I'm pretty sure they'll be voted in by the public

PhoenixSoaring · 27/10/2007 16:09

they really are freaky arent they? but I have a feeling they will stay for a while - a bit like the Macdonald brothers last year!

OP posts:
Raahh · 27/10/2007 16:29

yup, pinky and perky really need to go- they are plain spooky But i fear the ahem older members of the audience, may just like them. Wholesome family entertainment, Donnie and Marie stylee. Maybe they will sing 'Puppy Love' Boak!

I hope Sharon just lays off the booze this week, and behaves. On the first live show, it was a bit much. And all that 'Paul O'grady talked me out of quitting' cr*p...

Maybe, this week ,for one week only, we should evict a judge...
