So come on then girls - who do you want to win? And who's going to go tomorrow night?

I like G4 and Steve but I expect Tabby will win.

while i sit & drool at the telly that is....

MarsLady · 06/11/2004 15:58

So good to know that you have taste MS Cowell

tortoiseshell · 06/11/2004 16:03

Can't bear 2toGo - please go! Can't stand Steve either - not sexy, c*ap voice, don't like G4 - totally agreed with SC's comments about their song last week - it was just odd! Quite like Cassie, don't like Tabby, Rowetta's ok. Not sure about VWS. I'll go with ds' opinion - last week he said they were all bad except Cassie.

vict17 · 06/11/2004 16:04

I think it will be Tabby and Rowetta in the final and then the public will have to vote btw Simon and Sharon so probably Tabby will win.

golds · 06/11/2004 16:05

Actually none of them are really up to much, says her that can't sing a note

80sMum · 06/11/2004 16:12

I hope Tabby doesn't win, I don't like him much (probably the dirty pants thing!). 2 to go remind me too much of Peters and Lee (anyone remember them?) - and they were a bit naff too! Steve - sex on a stick, I agree. But can he sing? I still need convincing. Cassie - lovely voice but nothing else there, no emotion; she's just too young to have lived a bit. Rowetta - now here's someone who's been round the block a few times, and it comes across in her voice. She could win it. G4 - great voices, and until I just hearcd about El Divo or whatever they're called I thought G4 were a bit different. Not so sure now. Voices with Soul - sorry, but they're let down by their size, just a bit too big. Mind you, they can belt out a song. I'd give them an outside chance.

MarsLady · 06/11/2004 16:19

I don't think that vws' size should influence things. When they originally appeared they looked terrible, but it's amazing what a bit of styling will do. What ought to matter is if the singer(s) gives you goosepimples. Try not to think Michelle McManus, think more Reuben Stuttars (American Idol - doing very well).

Listmaker, there is a website: www.applausestore.com and you can get tickets for all sorts of TV productions.

Tessiebear · 06/11/2004 16:44

Am going out to a blinking bonfire thing tonight - would much rather be tucked up in front of the telly watching the x-factor with my chinese takeaway!!
Really hope G4 win! Or Rowetta. I think Tabby will do really well but i dont think he will win - he is too "rocky" and not enough "mainstream" for the sat night audience. Remember Peter from Fame Academy??
Tonight i really hope 2 to go ... go.

steve

linniewith2 · 06/11/2004 19:42

missed the 2nd half how did hit me baby go down with the judges ?

MarsLady · 06/11/2004 19:46

Simon didn't get it, Sharon loved it in a bizarre way. Rowetta was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

mothernature · 06/11/2004 19:55

Steve - Brill tonight -

Rowetta - She can sing -

G4 - sorry chaps loved you previously but that song was not good for you -

2togo - goodbye -

Voices with soul - really good - a few bad notes though -

Cassie - its getting too much, showed she can't sing and dance at sametime -

Tabby - stay in one place don't keep running around - stay infront of microphone, and you're there.

Caligula · 06/11/2004 20:06

I thought Steve and Rowetta were both brilliant tonight. I've never liked him before, and I don't particularly like Shirley Bassey, who Rowetta reminds me of, and Louis said the same tonight.

Everyone one else was ordinary. Even Voices with Soul who are normally brilliant.

God I hope those boring barber shop boys go. Or Peters and Lee - dull dull dull.

Demented · 06/11/2004 20:27

Saw it for the first time since the heats so don't really know too much about the acts. Have to say I haven't been blown away by any of them but thought Steve was pretty good and I could see what they were going on about with Rowetta but personally I'm not keen on the sound of her voice.

tortoiseshell · 06/11/2004 20:53

Rowetta was great, the others so-so. Is anyone else getting completely p*ssed off with Louis Walsh? I know Simon Cowell can be utterly tactless, but I do actually agree with most things he said (esp. tuning tonight!) - but LW just rebuts everything he says, interrupting him, and not listening to what he actually says! He really put his foot in it tonight about Peter though!
Thought G4 were dire tonight btw! They can certainly sing, but really should choose more carefully their song - I know it is chosen for them, but I would have thought particularly after Darius that song wasn't going to work! Like SC said, Lion King, Bohemian Rhapsody yes, Britney Spears, NO!!!

misdee · 06/11/2004 20:54

G4 did britney ((??!!! oo-er)

really? will watch it in the morning then tomorrow.

Caligula · 06/11/2004 21:03

The thing about Simon Cowell, is that he's honest and truthful. Sometimes, people need to be told the truth and it's just not helpful to be complimented and gee'd along rather than told the bald truth. Everything he said tonight was true. And interestingly, as regards his client (Steve) he listened to a comment by another judge and acted on it, to the advantage of his client. I thought Steve sounded better tonight than I've ever heard him - before, he was OK, but tonight, he had the X factor!

If you were about to pay £80 for an outfit that made you look like a fat old piece of mutton, which friend do you think would be doing you the favour? The one who told you how awful you looked, and to put it back on the hanger, and helped you choose something better, or the one who said, yeah it looks great, and let you go out and humiliate yourself in it?

Maybe I'm very thick skinned, but I would always, always, always prefer the truth, even when I feel too delicate to face it!

That's why I love Simon!

MarsLady · 06/11/2004 21:08

you tell em caligula

tortoiseshell · 06/11/2004 21:16

Caligula - quite! Couldn't agree more. And Simon is sexy.

Rowlers · 06/11/2004 22:10

Who got kicked out then? Didn't watch it. Hope it was G4, they suck.

popsycal · 06/11/2004 22:12
