I love it.

I am not ashamed to say that i will get totally involved- even though i am too old.

Lets count how many times Louis Walsh says 'westloife'
Watch Simon Cowell look bored rigid.
They will put through a 70 year- just for fun
They will tell a 14 year old she is the next Mariah Carey- and then not put her in the finals- FOR BEING TOO YOUNG!
Everyone one will 'own the song, and make it their own'
or- 'that was a really poor song choice- i blame Louis'
A group WILL NOT WIN.
Marvel at the really poor sob stories!
About half a dozen audtionees will sing 'Valerie/you're beautiful'
Watch Cheryl Cole waste away before our very eyes (how skinny is she????)

I need to get out more

Roll on Saturday!!!

I'm sure they used not cry so much in previous years !!

Raahh · 06/10/2008 16:38

i agree, they just seemed to get on with it. I did feel sorry for`amy though- she knew she had blown it, and her dad was telling her not to be daft when she rang to tell him she was out, and was sorry

Surprised Kleenex haven't offered their sponsorship with the amount of blubbing that has been going on. Could have been a nice bit of product placement!

SO tired of all the wailing and weeping.

Did a single one of them NOT cry?

Raahh · 07/10/2008 12:47

like the idea of sponsorship by kleenex- i think all of them cried at some point.

I would like to know what the 'theme' for the first week will be.

just had a look on digital spy, and it is us and uk number ones- quite a big range there then. But i think they are quite limited by what they can use due to performing rights issues and copy right (though i might be wrong).

Whoever get James Blunt 'You're Beautiful'- if my tip to be out!

(and 2 series running one of the groups has done 'I don't feel like dancing by the Scissor Sisters, so not again, i hope).

[sad cow emoticon]

Oh and Leon (who?) will be performing his new single- lovely!!!

is it Austin? the lad that just cries and cries.......did you see him after he was made over?

How awful did he look

Raahh · 07/10/2008 13:10

as makeovers go, it wasn't good. He is a bit of an actor- has had parts in the Bill/ Casualty (who hasn't??) and althouhg he can sing, is there really any need for all the tears? And all the Dermot hugging- very annoying (great job, he has, her got to go to ALL the judges houses- so they couldn't have all gone oat the same time, could they??) Or am I wrong about that? Or is he quads?

OP posts:
anniebear · 07/10/2008 14:29

a lot of ladies would like the idea of him being 1 of quads lol

NosfeRaahhTu · 07/10/2008 14:42

Mmm Dermot quads...lol!!

smartiejake · 07/10/2008 21:54

Oh christ NOOO. One Dermott is bad enough but FOUR !!!!

NosfeRaahhTu · 10/10/2008 16:16

i have been trying to find out what they will be singing on the first show, but can't find out anywhere. Can't wait to see what get-up Dannii is wearing, will it still be a gypsy theme?

Furball · 10/10/2008 17:33

when the come off from singing they must have to do it twice once for dermot and once for holly?

NosfeRaahhTu · 11/10/2008 17:23

Am quite excited about tonight (but it doesn't take much lol!)

Rumours are that Rachel is singing 'With every heart beat"., which she isn't happy about. Not surei can imagine it, either!

CrushWithEyeliner · 11/10/2008 17:35

the Spanish one looks like she needs to be injected with a horses dose of valium - the public will so not get her and her mad mad eyes.

And all that bloody fake hugging this year - what is the deal with that?

Flamesparrow · 11/10/2008 17:38

Ooh this sounds good for the bottom 2

Song for survival

The X Factor results show has always been a tense half hour of top entertainment - but to add to the drama, tonight's viewers will see their favourite format updated with a brand new twist.

For the first time ever, the two bottom-placed contestants will choose an all-time favourite track to perform while the nation registers their final votes. Until this point, contenders have performed the night's rehearsed track again.

The change is proving popular. After all, it's a fabulous opportunity for the contestants to take fate into their very own hands, showing the public exactly what they - and their voices - can do.

Each song will handpicked by the desperate contenders themselves, each believing the track they have chosen will give them the best chance of staying in the show.

Of course, we have no idea yet which contestants will face this final trial in their fight for X Factor survival.

But you can be sure that whoever steps up to the microphone to sing again will put every inch of their heart and soul into a song they know and believe in.

This track will be known as the Song for Survival. The result of the vote is in your hands. So listen to the performances, and then decide. Who will you choose to save?

ELR · 11/10/2008 17:46

flame --- how do you know all this??

NosfeRaahhTu · 11/10/2008 17:49

thank you flamesparrow!!

i do like the sound of the twist. Very often when contestants make their own choices, they make bad ones...

there are some truly awful songs in that list- it must have been love? awful , take my breathe away...yuck!!
JLs stand a good chance, with their song, and Falling is a good choice for Laura. But with or without you for Diana could be a serious error..

NosfeRaahhTu · 11/10/2008 17:49

The digitalspy website used to list them last year, i couldn't find it this time.

NosfeRaahhTu · 11/10/2008 17:52

lets sit back and count how many times Simon leans back in his chair, chewing his pencil
Someone will 'nail' it
Someone will be rubbish, but it won't be their fault , it will be the mentors poor song choice
Someone will make the song their own

Flamesparrow · 11/10/2008 18:04

xfactor website

Do they tend to own the stage too?

NosfeRaahhTu · 11/10/2008 18:12

own the stage, ooh yes..
I hope the outfits are better this year, the stylist last year had a serious grudge against someone, me thinks!

Flamesparrow · 11/10/2008 18:18

judging by the makeover shots, they have the same stylists
