i dont domariah.

Cheesesarnie · 02/11/2008 13:59

i dont like daniel.i love diana and the girl with dark hair whos not the spanish one.

mrsmaidamess · 02/11/2008 14:40

I like Diana, but can you imagine the God awful song they will make her record if she wins? Something like 'My Golden Moment'

cyteen · 02/11/2008 15:04

Couldn't even bear to watch Daniel (bleurgh) or Embryo Boy (yikes) - missed most of Laura's performance but what I did hear sounded as pro as ever, although I cannot stand that song. Alexandra was also ahead of the pack once more, despite the ultra camp backing dancers conspiring with her low-pitched song to make her sound like a very convincing tranny.

JoolsToo · 02/11/2008 15:08

can't believe Austin has gone he had one of the best voices - but what does that matter when someone has a sob story, another is cute (wtf!) one has flies around her head that seems to be incessantly wafting away

I don't believe Austin would have gone if had gone to the public vote, which let's face it, is what it should be!

cyteen · 02/11/2008 15:33

Rachel was so incredibly shit, it was embarrassing. The irony of her singing 'no more pain' while making my ears bleed.

MadameCastafiore · 02/11/2008 15:38

So if every week Daniel sings some sad sad song full of emotion will he get through?

Was bloody fuming last night - Rachel Raw Talent - more like a raw bloody wound - the ex everything about her makes me want to be sick - bet she would have jumped down and head butted the girlies on the panel I reckon if she hadn't have put her through - that is why they voted for her - they were scared of her.

SesHashadafab12weekscan · 02/11/2008 15:43

Can't believe Daniel is still in!
Also thought Austin was the best solo male performer left in. Looks like a girl will win this year then! Or JLS!!?

I agree about Louis voting off Simon's acts.

Gobbledigook · 02/11/2008 15:44

These programs get on my nerves.

Diana - blardy awful - what's with teh stupid affected voice and the stupid hand movements. Grow up love.
Daniel - dear God, tell me I'm dreaming - he is dreadful.
Rachel - good voice but they are keeping her in cos of the story.

Gobbledigook · 02/11/2008 15:45

Oh God - Owen/Eoghunensnslgnslgn absolutely KILLING a great track as well. Louis telling him he'll be in the final - is he fecking kidding?!

Gobbledigook · 02/11/2008 15:46

I FF through owen, daniel and diana every week if I can. I watch a minute so I can comment then it's 'that's enough thanks'

Gobbledigook · 02/11/2008 15:48

Alexandra is the best by miles

purplemonkeydishwasher · 02/11/2008 15:51

it's so much better watching these shows later so you can fast forward them!
daniel is soooo dull and can't sing. (FF)
austin great voice but zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. he looks so miserable up there. (FF)
Diana is growing on me but i really really wish she had either kept her legs closed or worn trousers.
Owwnghen shouldn't have been there in the first place. but his voice is getting stronger each week. there is improvement there.
Rachel could be really good but lets face it, Danniiii is crap at being a mentor. she has no clue about what songs to pick.
the one who is doing he best mentoring job thos year is easily Cheryl. She picks good songs and obviously puts the time in with her category.

I wish the judges would make up their minds about what they want. one minute they say it's a singing competition and dancing doesn't matter, then next they say they want the whole package, not just someone who can sing. it's BS.
why do i watch it??????

harpomarx · 02/11/2008 16:56

agree with purplemonkey - dannii terrible mentor, I do think Rachel could be great with the right songs and if Dannii stopped messing around and changing her 'image' every week. She looked so frumpy last night it was cruel. Cheryl has given all her acts a head start by letting them be themselves.

I think I will have to stop watching if Daniel and Eoghan get through another week . Totally cringeworthy, the pair of them.

If anyone cares, my favourites are

Laura - beautiful, beautiful voice. needs stronger image though.
JLS - slick, polished and charming. At least one of them has a decent voice (Aston)
Alexandra - professional, easy on the eye.

Don't like Ruth too much, she is a good singer but dull. Rachle is always interesting to watch and blew me away with her song last week (not this week, obviously). Diana clearly has a decent voice but I wish she would lose some of the affectations, they are starting to grrrrrattte!

lumpsdumps · 02/11/2008 17:05

I have just been on FB and seen that somebody on there has created a group that really lays into Rachel which I think and told her that she was bang out of order. She may have an attitude but that's because of her background

DocBunches · 02/11/2008 17:55

I'm getting really sick of all four judges telling Eoghan how great he is - No! he's crap. And as for Daniel - don't get me started.

Diana is clearly the Chosen One. I can't stand her and the way she calls herself 'little Diana from Blackburn' sounds so contrived. But unfortunately, she's almost certainly heading for the final two with Eoghan, I think.

I love Alex and JLS; I don't mind Laura, Ruth and Rachel. I also really liked Austin and thought it was a travesty he left the competition so early.

I've been a huge fan of X-Factor since it began, but it's doing my head in this year.

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 02/11/2008 18:52

Dannii doesn't pick Rachel's songs, not since the first week!

matildax · 02/11/2008 19:06

well i think diana is great. its refreshing to see someone that doesnt fit the normal stereotype!! plus i do genuinely think her kookiness is rather endearing, as will loads of people i think.
im backing either her, laura or alexandra to win!! all of cheryls girls are fab

cant stand rachel, oughannn ? (jimmy osmond, anyone??) daniel, hes defs a piss take i reckon!!! too ricky gervais looking for it to be real imo

ruth is very beautiful and can sing very well, i just don't think she will get the votes as the contest goes on.

jls are ok, and the lead singer can definitely sing, but has anyone noticed that he looks like chicos little brother????? he so does, its uncanny. lol

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 02/11/2008 19:10

I do lurve Dianna. The whole hand moving stuff is a kookiness of hers, but if you watch all the others, they all do something with their hands. I call Alexandra's the "bring the note back to me" move as she reaches out, closes her fist and pulls her hand back

anniebear · 02/11/2008 19:44

did anyone watch xtra factor when Rachel came in, none of the others looked very pleased

when she was trying hard not to cry Laura put ehr hand on her shoulder, but I sensed that no one else likes her at all

when they were dressed up for halloween and messing about I didn see her either with them

??

NosfeRaahhTu · 02/11/2008 19:50

finally catching up with this after ending up with food poisoning and missing the results show

i blame non-alcoholic wine!

Dh told me at 2 this morning whilst i was dying that Austin was out, and i didn't believe him- i think Simon had him pegged asa winner from the outset.

there was no way Rachel was better, and tbh i think she agreed. Louis was just relishing getting rid of another of Simons acts. it is supposed to be based on the final song they sing- not on how much more they have to give, ffs!!

i would love for Diana to win, i hope they realise next week that the daniel joke is wearing thin, and that Eoghan is getting worse week on week!

lottiejenkins · 02/11/2008 20:06

All i noticed about Diana(beside the wavy hands) is the fact that she sang most of the song with her legs wide open! It didnt leave a lot to the imagination!!

Febes · 02/11/2008 20:12

I do't think they do much as mentors. Its all produced by Simon. I'm sure they don't help pick songs, image or much at all really. When they walked out for the resuts show Cheryl walked with her girls like an equal but Dannii strolled out dragging her acts behind her like it was the dannii show and they were bit parts.

saggyhairyarse · 02/11/2008 20:42

I can't elieve that Austin has gone and Daniel and Eoghan are still there BUT he did/does look like an alien (sorry Austins Mum).

Saying Eoghan was anything like a HSM Britannia High act is laughable! And I don't know why they don't style Rachel more 'street' as she looks like a bloke in drag all done up like a dogs dinner.

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/11/2008 20:56

it's so much better watching these shows later so you can fast forward them!agree - and means that you can rewind and see rachelmiss the first word of song

diana's hand and squarking voice are driving me insane

sure eurgen (owen) will be out soon,as he just isnt good enough as so young

THEN

simon will be in the final with NO acts

OMG
