X-FACTOR!!- it's predictable, it's ridiculous, IT'S GREAT...

[Raahh]

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!!!

This is good, no?

i like Austin's version of billie jean - not as good as the one that Dave Cook did on American Idol but pretty good.

pleasantly surprised by Austin!

OMG, you ARE Louis Walsh!

Billy Gene is one of my favourate songs of all time.

I never thought i could hear and enjoy a cover version of it.

but i did. i am very impressed and think he sang it very well.

i think laura is great...but the second half of her song was definitely better than the first

daniel is going to be awful. real karaoke. but at least hes not doing ben, that would be SO much worse. think i might go & put the kettle on when hes on

i thought austin was very good tonight, liked the fact it was a different arrangement from the norm!

I really hate Louis and Simon squabbling over everything, it really ruins it for the performers!

hahaha, I agree!

about jimjams

Louis is just so nakedly jealous of Simon, it's a little bit tragic. All he does is try to score pathetic little points over him.

I keep thinking of Peter Kay when I think of daniel, you would have had to seen it

here we go, the love boat...

lol! cranberry!

I think i've watched too many idol and x-factor progs! God Daniel is awful.

we'll remember you Daniel

i feerl so very sorry for him.

he is here through pity over his wife and that is justnot fair.

there has never been any chance of him winning and therefore he shouldn't have been placed in the show.

ok they are going to say something about him beign karaoke? hotel singer? bad cruiseship performer?

he's out then!

out of your comfort zone!!!! How could i have missed that one!

It should have been Suzy

He wasn't great but I do hate Louis' petty little comments.

At least he hasn't said 'You made that song your own' yet.

is it red hair week?

Can someone creative do an x factor bingo we can play next week?

last year i did a drinking game- but i am currently on the wagon

spot how many times Simon chews his pencil...
Someone will own the stage

Someone will be appalling, but it will be the song that is wrong..
Simon and Louis will argue
Ruth will sing in Spanish
