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!!!

Oh tippy....you mean ole' thing.

just let him win anyway.

apart from leona I#m sure sure any of them have been much good so he'll be alright.

finally watched this properly- omg, the husband and wife were so cringy!!

loved the old man with the spoons-and Simon saying 'the noise! the noise!'
And 'mums on the run' were just terrible- what were they wearing!

o.k, so the bloke at the end had an o.k voice, and i did sniffle, but he didn't have the strongest voice. I hope he does well, though.

I was still laughing about the husband and wife though at the end. They were so scary....i bet they go swinging

I dont think the guy at the end was the best singer there, I dont think he will go far unless he gets the sympathy vote

very very sad though

So I am looking forward to this again tonight Watching X-Factor with a glass of wine seems like the height of excitement these days!

I did think they took the piss a little too much with the incidental music last week though - was a bit annoyed at the spoon man being soundtracked with the theme from Steptoe & Son.

Also agree that blonde spiky hairdo bloke only got put through because of his (genuinely very sad) sob story.

I am looking forward to this, but will again have to watch it late, as my tv is currently being used for Wii fit training

i loved the spoons man!!

loved the woman who did Valerie, and the young lad before her.

Valerie lady had a gorgeous baby

getting a bit tired of the recurring contestants, though. They said no. Go home. Do NOT come back next year.

How many more weeks before Boot Camp? Someone must know!

it does feel like the audition stage is going on a bit, doesn't it?

Didn't they say next week was the last of the auditions?

Some good singers this week, some terrible singers too

yes, next week , last auditions....good!!

reminding myself to tape this....

Betty- we're having a gang bang!! OMG- glad i haven't got any kids up watching this, how do you explain that!!

Ooh, Amy was very good. A lovely natural voice

i loved Amy- and am sat here, a little tipsy after strictly, wishing Simon was my DAD!

wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

what was the song amy sang? i loved it thou it made me cry

it is by Faith Hill-There you'll be, the lyrics are lovely.

'There You'll Be' by Faith Hill OJ

is amy the girl that just made me cry with the faith hill sng "there you'll be"?

Oh, she was such a lovely, fresh faced girl.
I think the song was by Faith Hill.
I sooo don't want to like Cheryl Cole, but she does seem very warm and lovely...gah!

I know what you mean Lizzy- she does seem too nice really!!

I had tears in my eyes too @ amy

Her hair's waaay too big though.
She is really beautiful and human, very thoughtful
