just in case...

Well clearly lots of people like Eoghan ..just not in the Kiddiz household!!!!
If he wins I fear he will be another Leon not a Leona though.

MarsLady · 30/11/2008 11:07

I with you kiddiz! DS1 said that if Eoghan got through he wouldn't watch again. I did point out that watching in the first place would make his statement have more weight lol!

chequersandroastedchestnuts · 30/11/2008 11:12

Britney looked like she was still rehearsing - just going through the motions. I don't think she ever sings live though, she's not a good enough singer to manage it whilst dancing.

I'd like JLS to win simply because no one on there is anything special much but it would make a change for a group to win.

muppetgirl · 30/11/2008 11:30

James Corden on extrafactor(is that his surname?) said what we were all thinking that Brittany was rubbish for miming and that it wasn't a very good performance.

wannaBe · 30/11/2008 12:59

I don't get Diana. at the end of every note she has this upward screach - it's horrid. sometimes it even kicks in if she's trying to hold a note - a bit like a recorder being played badly .

I want jls to win because imo it's time a group did. Eoghan will do better in a couple of years when his voice has matured IMO. Am intreagued though - what is happening to his education while he's off chasing stardom?

mrsmaidamess · 30/11/2008 13:01

Britney is a waste of spece. Dermot said to her 'What do you think of the contestents?' She replied 'I love coming to London'. Air head.

smartiejake · 30/11/2008 13:13

The whole thing is a farce.

Britney was terrible. The dancing was bad (but dancing with a wedgy must be quite uncomfortable) and how she managed to sound so awful when she was miming is unbelievable.

Miley whatitsface -Who?

Diana sounds like fozzy bear on helium. She made me laugh when she said "I have to accept that I am different to the other girls in this competition" Yeah love they can actually sing!

The final should have been Alex and Ruth. Now we have:

-JLS boring predictable and not that in tune.

  • Diana- see above
  • Euoghan - small ugly troll/ hobbit/ hedgehog like creature who is a very average singer (and looks like the doppleganger of the equally average boy who won Britain's got talent)
  • Alex- good singer but too full of herself and too like Leona to be of any interest.

I give up!

cornsilk · 30/11/2008 13:16

LOLOLOL at eoghan being like a chucky doll. That will keep me chuckling all day.

CrushWithEyeliner · 30/11/2008 13:28

Alex can sing and all but she prances around like she owns the place and is just too mouthy and teary (at the right moments) at this early stage in her career. Leona was talented throughout the show but so much more classy and understated, so much better.
I like Diana a lot but she is loosing it a bit lately. Only a very certain type of song suits her. I think she is beautiful.....

bahcornsilk · 30/11/2008 13:31

I also think Alex is a bit too sure of herself considering she's on a talent show. I like her but there's nothing different about her, whereas Leona's voice is different. Diana is just awful. Loved Ruth.

AttilaTheMeerkat · 30/11/2008 14:11

Lay off Alex!. If this is indeed a talent show (and I think this should be its last year) then the person with the most talent should win it. Not Diana seemingly unscrewing a lightbulb with that claw like hand of her and her hiccup voice/screech and definately not the Ewok.

Poor ol Britters - her body was in London but her mind was clearly elsewhere. Planet Britney population one with occasional visits from "the voices".

Is the ewok the John Sergeant of X Factor?

lyrasdaemon · 30/11/2008 14:40

smartiejake - the 'average boy' that won Britain's Got Talent happens to be my next-door neighbour (well, he isn't at the moment - he's living in London now), so leave him alone. George has worked exceptionally hard to get to where he is now, and he deserves all the rewards he is getting. We should stop knocking our young people, and celebrate their achievements.

BabyBaby123 · 30/11/2008 14:41

i don't think George Sampson should have won though - he had one routine which he did to death - a lot of other acts were far more talented imo

compo · 30/11/2008 14:42

at Euoghan - small ugly troll/ hobbit/ hedgehog like creature , that is someone's son you're talking about

BabyBaby123 · 30/11/2008 14:43

lol

lyrasdaemon · 30/11/2008 15:01

agree that Eoghan shouldn't have gone through last night though, Ruth was miles better, which isn't saying much. This is the most talentless bunch of nobodies I've ever seen on the X-Factor.

smartiejake · 30/11/2008 15:16

Lyrqasdemon- Lots of kids work extremely hard and have way more talent than George Sampson but don't get the overinflated praise he did. Being your next door neighbour has nothing to do with anything!

compo- all the other contestants are also someones son or daughter but there have been many disparaging comments about them too.

I have seen many other comments about Eughan that are just as rude as mine.(see regular references to toilet brushes, chucky dolls and leprechauns) and I am certainly not the first to describe him as a hobbit!

lyrasdaemon · 30/11/2008 15:51

George could have given up last year after being rejected in the first series of BGT, but he didn't, because he isn't a quitter. He set out to succeed, and he did it. Credit him with that at least. You can't expect George to be the finished article - he's only 15 FGS. Given his background, he has done extremely well to get to where he has. He doesn't have parents who can afford to send him to the best performing arts schools. Instead, he has had to raise money for dance classes by busking in town centres. George has a goal in life and is determined to work hard in order to achieve it, unlike a lot of people who are quite happy to sit around and sponge off the taxpayer. For this, he deserves applause, rather by being insulted by being referred to as 'average'.

thenewme · 30/11/2008 17:04

I dind't think it was possible to dislike this girl anymore than I already do.

smartiejake · 30/11/2008 17:39

I can't stand her either but depends on how much faith you put in stories reported in the News of the World!

lottiejenkins · 30/11/2008 17:42

Well said Compo!

CrushWithEyeliner · 30/11/2008 18:56

oh it MUST be true it's in the NOTW

  • this is exactly how they influence voting with readers
SameAsYou · 30/11/2008 20:15

Can I ask is the finl 13th or 20th?

smartiejake · 30/11/2008 20:35

Last years was on 15th. If they want to try for the christmas no 1 I would imagine the 13th would be the best date. Think there will be three in the final.

One gets voted out by the public half way through the show leaving the last 2 to fight it out for the winners spot. I am sure that's what has happened for the last few years.

hifi · 30/11/2008 20:43

ewok should wear a hat, his hair is the pits.
