Louis is an arse - he will always vote off one of Simon's or Cheryl's acts, given the opportunity. He's just so petty and tactical. Its like watching the Eurovision

Imho, last night was Laura's weakest performance so far BUT it was still a million times better than Daniel or Rachel... I don't really get Ruth, but I love the fact she really gives it some welly on her sing offs (are they called sing offs ?? or i that just a SCD thing ??).

Anyhoo- the wrong person went

And as for all this furore about Laura shagging a TV exec - he's not anything to do with the X Factor show. He just runs the company that provides the audiences and warm up people. So much has been made of him influencing Laura being there in the first place and its utter bullshit. She was clearly one of the best singers in the competition, regardless of who she is shagging. I think it all had something to do with why people weren't voting for her which is really

dizzydixies · 09/11/2008 10:18

am not a fan of Louis at all either and was devestated to see how upset cheryl was - I fully understand how pathetic that makes me too

I really did like Laura and felt for once it was a lovely natural smiley happy girl who was good at singing

who the hell is voting for Daniel btw?!?!?!

Beetroot · 09/11/2008 10:18

oh well she got further than mostpeople with double her talent.

As foras the piano playing and was she really playing? we didn't see her playing - and if she was it was only the chords hardly rocket science!

Beetroot · 09/11/2008 10:19

I think I might start to vote for daniel - just to show what a stupid show it is

Tillyscoutsmum · 09/11/2008 10:21

dizzy - I was really sad for Cheryl as well She was genuinely gutted. DP did (probably rightly) comment that she needs to learn to take it a bit less seriously though.

Tillyscoutsmum · 09/11/2008 10:23

Fuck knows who's voting for Daniel. I think its the underdog thing again (remember the MacDoodle brothers or whatever they were called). He seems like a nice enough guy but he just makes my skin crawl when he performs.

Chris Moyles is asking his audience to keep Daniel in to annoy Simon.

dizzydixies · 09/11/2008 10:30

PMSL @ MacDoodle brothers, they've just opened a dodgy club near to us, got to love the Scots and their loyalties

I agree Herbie as I certainly don't think Eoughan (or however you spell it) is better than Laura - he'll be getting support of the whole of Ireland though

chris moyles is a twat - I really used to like him but now I can't bear the sound of him anymore, how much more egotistical can one man get?

lilibet · 09/11/2008 10:30

Cheryl ruined Laura, looking at the best bits, she had personality and as Simon said a quirky style. All of a sudden she is 'groomed' and wearing clothes that were way too old for her.

They ahve let Diane keep her quirkiness but had completely got rid of Larua's, I wonder why, is it becaus e they thought that they were too similar in their styles and only one of them could carry it off?

Anyhow Cheryl has no one but herself to blame over that one.

turquoise · 09/11/2008 10:49

Of course it's all a fix - it's about viewing figures not music and look how much publicity this has got it.

anniebear · 09/11/2008 11:03

Most years thouight they always have an act that seems too stay in but you cant quite understand why!!

Plus, also most years has one of the faves going whne not expected to and everyone is shocked

Beetroot · 09/11/2008 11:05

god I wouldn't give Cheryl a second thought. She certainly won't give Laura noe as shei swhisked off home

glitterfairy · 09/11/2008 11:08

Morning Beets! I like Cheryl on the programme but apparently she is not nice in real life and she certainly did poor Laura no favours because Laura did have a great voice.

I get annoyed at Diana's mannerisms but think she is a) local and b) has a great voice. Alexandra is a little flat and why oh why are rachel and Daniel still there?

Beetroot · 09/11/2008 11:10

I think we should all vote for daniel -it would be hilarious

glitterfairy · 09/11/2008 11:11

He is crap though and all that dead wife stuff leaves me cold!

NosfeRaahhTu · 09/11/2008 11:19

there is a definite lack of humour in this years show- SD and Rhyddian were fun to watch- as well as Rhyd having a great voice, and realy being able to perform. And the Louis /Sharon stuff was funny, Louis's vendetta against cheryl and Simon is just petty and painful to watch.

I agree that the styling of Laura was a big mistake- when Simon criticised her look last week, i think he was implying that at the auditions she looked edgier, had a gravelly voice and could really belt out the songs . By last night, she WAS a wine bar act- and the song did nothing for her voice.

But no-one said anything to Rachel- who picked her own frock, which frankly made her look ridiculous.

I don't want Alex to win. Yes, she can sing, and sounds like mariah- who Simon was way too gushing about. But we have a Mariah clone already, and i find her dull.

I like Diana, a lot, but i really can't see how she would have tackled that MC song successfully ,so can't help feeling a bit about it.

i'd like to see JLS given a chance to really show what they can do- but I can't stand Louis!

paranoid2 · 09/11/2008 11:21

I would have thought that a lot of Dianas votes would have gone to Laura. Its all a fix

wannaBe · 09/11/2008 11:23

so you think it is pure coincidence that out of 182000 applicants, one of the finalists just so happens to be in a relationship with someone who is associated with the show? And one of the other finalists just so happened t be in a relationship with a member of a former well-known boy band?

In the same way it was obviously pure coincidence that one of the acts in the Britain's got talent final just so happened to play at the xfactor after party last year?

I don't think it's coincidence at all. In fact I would go so far as to say it wouldn't surprise me if the majority of the finalists have already been chosen and have bypassed the initial sudition stages and that the audition shows are there purely for the viewing figures.

daftpunk · 09/11/2008 11:25

i don't think daniel is that bad, no worse than rachel...and tbh, i don't think he mentions his wife as much as rachel mentions... "i'm doing this for my kid's"

dizzydixies · 09/11/2008 11:28

wannabe who's in a relationship with the well known boy band

sheesh - I miss everything!

wannaBe · 09/11/2008 11:30

one of the members of girlband (now departed) is in a relationship with Simon webb.

BitOfFun · 09/11/2008 11:32

Who he?

dizzydixies · 09/11/2008 11:34

lol, still none the wiser

daftpunk · 09/11/2008 11:34
