muppetgirl - Michelle McManus turned on the Christmas lights in Motherwell a fortnight ago (i did not got to see her I heard, don't think she sang though)

LittleBella · 29/11/2008 23:45

PMSL at that bloke's comment on the Xtra factor - the finalists all being better than Britney because they sang live and she just mimed. He said what the Nation was thinking

LittleBella · 29/11/2008 23:46

God the more I think about it the more outraged I am by an effing major artist not effing singing in a live singing show.

HOW can that be considered OK? HOW?????

Why does Ewan not go on teh later Xtra factor show? Is it too late for him - does the little elf need his beddie byes?

He really is a fugly runt, who cannot sing! Why people vote for him really is beyond me!

MarsLady · 30/11/2008 01:29

Now somebody tell me. Diana: a scalded cat or a stranged witch? I just don't get it. How did she stay?

Love Alexandra (always have done)
Love JLS (but they can't win)
Will miss Ruth (thought she was getting better. Oh and I want that dress she wore tonight)
Eoghan Why???????????

blinks · 30/11/2008 01:38

diana sings like cilla black

cutekids · 30/11/2008 01:59

well now that Ruth has gone,I think JLS should win simply cos Diana shouldn't be in it at this point and Alex is brilliant and Eoghan is neither here nor there.Think they should win cos they deserve it.

at first I really liked Diana but her voice is becoming a joke - she sings through her nose - she is trying too hard to be 'quirky' (think that's the word) and it just doesn't sound right anymore. And the bare feet and everything - I want her to go next week!

The little one who looks like a Chucky doll - can't be arsed to check how to spell his name - is ok but doesn't have the looks and his voice is really nothing special.

Alex is very good but doesn't have star quality imo.

Therefore, the only ones I feel can possibly win and make it as a real group are JLS. There are reasonably attractive and there is a gap in the market for a boy band - particularly a Black British boy band - I just can't see any of the others being successful - none of the individuals are anything compared to Leona Lewis imo

IllegallyBrunette · 30/11/2008 10:05

Can't believe Ruth went when Diana was so bloody awful. I know Ruth can be a bit shouty but she was still 100% better than Diana any day.

Can't understand how Eoghan is still there either.

Alex has the best voice by far, but she is starting to annoy me ever so slightly. She is getting a bit divaish.

I don't know who I want to win it now.

IllegallyBrunette · 30/11/2008 10:07

Oh, I loved the Britney song, but agree it was awful that she didn't sing live.

MarsLady · 30/11/2008 10:14

I don't think that Alex is getting divaish at all. I think that's a totally unfair comment. Wotsit Friedmann is giving her great stage sets. I'm amazed he's not done the same for JLS and Louis (who I still don't like) told us all that Diana never dances and Cheryl said she wouldn't make her do something she doesn't want to. That kind of makes me think of Diana as divaish! Diana also gets some great stage sets but sadly the cost of the sets means she's had to forfeit her shoes.

IllegallyBrunette · 30/11/2008 10:16

I didn't mean in her performances Mars, I meant with her responses after her performances. I like her performances alot.

BabyBaby123 · 30/11/2008 10:17

yes, i think i agree with you IB - she is

MarsLady · 30/11/2008 10:22

What in her responses? The fact that she thanks her mentor and calls her her backbone? Or the fact that she's happy with her comments?

(just looking for clarification as I'm not a fan of the term diva and some of the connotations)

compo · 30/11/2008 10:23

I thought Eoghan was crap, the dancers did all the singing for him

IllegallyBrunette · 30/11/2008 10:25

Oh fgs, look you disagree and thats fine, I didn't say everyone had to agree with me did I ? It is my opinion.

MarsLady · 30/11/2008 10:27

IB... I'm actually asking you the question because I'm interested in the answer. I don't see what you see and simply wanted to understand you. It's not an argument.

I thought this was about discussion and don't see that I've done anything other than join it.

mm22bys · 30/11/2008 10:34

It's probably been asked before, but what is the story with Diana and no shoes? Ridiculous.

The only two who really should be there are (were) Ruth and Alexandra. The others are dire.

I saw so many shades of Same Difference last night with Eoghann....

mm22bys · 30/11/2008 10:36

Did Miley Cyrus mime too? Didn't see Britney but agree ther is no excuse for her not to sing, or maybe she never does....

MarsLady · 30/11/2008 10:38

I wasn't sure about Miley, I'm not sure that she did because some of her words sounded out of breath as she sang. I prefer her dad I think (but then I've had Hannah Montana overload in this house)

tiredemma · 30/11/2008 10:43

None of them are even half as good as Leona Lewis, the only one remotely close is Alex ( I think she is v. good)

I thought Britney was crap.

Think Xfactor has run its course now. Simon must think of a new angle. Dancing chimps perhaps.

kiddiz · 30/11/2008 10:48

Here's what I think ...not that anyone really cares!!!
Alex...Leona mark 2. Will probably win because this sort of singer always does well in these competitions but do we really need another Leona? I don't think so but then I don't like Leona either..not saying she's not a fantastic singer. I just don't like her style of music.
Diana...Loved her to start with purely because she wasn't another Leona. I think her voice needs some help..training. As the competition has gone on she hasn't improved but I think she could be brilliant. She has the most potential imo.
Eoghan...I just don't get him at all. Thought it was my age but dd (11) doesn't like him either and was mortified by what he did to hsm!! His voice is weak and lacks any depth...he only sounds ok when you can't hear him for the backing singers! Read somewhere that he is winning the public vote every week. Not sure if it's true but it would explain Simon's confidence in a boy who is, essentially, a nice enough lad but not a very good singer and lacks any personality.
JLS...I'm indifferent. Given that they have been in the bottom 2 they probably won't win. Plus I don't like Louis Walsh and I don't think he's doing them any favours.
Ruth... nice girl, good singer but not as good as Alex, I just don't know who she would appeal to. I wouldn't buy her records, neither would my older ds and my dd didn't like her either. Probably was time for her to go.
The biggest disappointment for me this series was Laura. I loved her. Ruth was better in that sing off but Laura had far more potential and a better chance of success imo.

anniebear · 30/11/2008 10:57

well we enjoyed Eoghan and his HSM song..love that song nayway lol

so why didnt the judges tell Diana that she was out of tune in parts with her 2nd song

she sounded like Cilla Black on helium at times

DH and me were cringing
