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!!!

i loved pheobe from hope last year.

that girl had a fantastic voice, even the judges told her to go solo.

i wonder if she thought about going for the auditions herself this year.

Hope all auditioned solo though didn't they? and got put into a girl group by Simon and Louis

Come on sexy lady, let's dance sexy lady, come on sexy lady tonight.

Then he forgot the words for a few seconds but recovered well I thought

Cheryl - that is wonna my favourite songs ovall time
Anyone: You're the one to beat - to the third consecutive performer
Gobby Rachel to any comment - Yeah, taken on board,taken on board (practically admitting she's an old bus then?)
Danni making inappropriate comments to teeny young boys whilst moving no part of her face at all.
Danni and Cheryl competing for attention in the most odd blouse competition. Was loving the blue chiffon net curtain sported by Danni last week.
Simon picking exactly the same songs he picks for Amercian Idol every week. It's textbook - Ben for the whiny young un, a rocky remix of a classic for the "edgy" choice, odd 60s choice for the dark horse. The only dilemma is that because he has all boys, who will he get to sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow?
Dermot perving away as he hugs all the laydeez

And most disturbing moment? Everytime Daniel and his newly Frank Butchered teeth do his identikit leer into the camera. I did warn you all about him y'know

I've noticed though that most of the acts seem to have a connection with a celeb already.

One of the girls in bad lashes apparently has a relationship with someone famous, one of girlband is going out with Simon Webb (formally of blu) one of JLS used to be on children's television ...

Plus I think a double shot for:

"It was pitchy in places"
"You're in/out of/stuck in/need to get out of/ your Comfort Zone"

bloody hell which one of gilrband goes out with Simon Webb??????? They all look younger than him... is it the one with dyed red hair?

crumbs, it's one of the sisters

I am very surprised!

at least she didn't mention it in her VT (might have got her more support if she did )

NO LAYLA WAS THE RED HAIRED ONE.

SHE IS BRUNETTE IN THE PICTURE IN THE SUN.

sorry, dont know why i had to shout that.

God yes, I am also disturbed by Danni asking Eoghan, suggestively, if he had a girlfriend. Euuuuuwwww. She is 38 and he is a child!

Its Big Band week this weekend on the X Factor.

Diana aka Poundshop Duffy "singing" I mean hiccuping along to a big band number - oh my poor ears!.

so what are our new names for all the singers?

diana= pound shop duffy.
daniel= frank butcher teeth.

anymore?

No Daniel is Ricky Gervaise surely!

Nah, Daniel is a naff Perry Como.

Songs for tonight

JLS Ain't That A Kick In The Head
Austin Drage Mack The Knife
Eoghan Quigg L.O.V.E
Scott Bruton That?s Life
Diana Vickers Smile
Laura White God Bless The Child
Alexandra Burke Candyman
Daniel Evans Lady Is A Tramp
Ruth Lorenzo Summertime
Rachel Hylton Feeling Good

I think this lot seems quite good. Not sure about Candyman, esp if she goes all Christina, and Smile is a good one for Diana. And shocker, Rachel has a good song!!

So, here's the list for X-factor bingo-drinks/chocolate at the ready!!

Simon chews pencil
Louis says: you made that song your own
Anyone says: you owned the stage
Cheryl: i got goosebumps
Danii/Cheryl to eoghan - you are soooo cute
Anyone says: we haven't seen the best of you yet
Louis and Simon have a bitch about each other
Simon: you are the one to beat
Simon: we haven't seen the best of you yet
Cheryl: I think you're gorgeous
Anyone: you nailed that
Louis:You are potentially the best group in the competition
(when he is down to ONE group!)
Simon pulling funny faces when he thinks it's bad during the performance
Cheryl forcing a smile when she realises the camera is on her during a song
Racheal: I take that on board
Any contestant: I don't want to go home tonight

yey, glass of wine of at the ready, let's go!
