Re: X...
 

yaaaaay xfactor!!

i only watch the auditions, not interested in the good singers lol

Re: X...
 

Since my friends in Gran Canaria will call me in every ad break, for my comments, I suppose I'd better watch.

Still, got to have something to fill the gap now BB is coming to an end.

Now we don't have seasons, just rain all year round, it's nice have these annual programmes.

Soon be the X-Factor finals...and Christmas.:D

Re: X...
 

Yep will be there glued to telly as always.
I love the x factor makes great sat night viewing ..

Re: X...
 

Yehhh soon be Xmas Attachment 12410...bring it on!!:mosher:

Not heard much of last years winner, that wee ned.

Re: X...

And there was i thinking someone had discovered X windows :D

Re: X...
 

Some people have to put X's in tape on their windows
Save em smashing when they attempt to sing:p

Re: X...
 

I dont know how some people have the guts to go and show themselves up like that:o


I mean ..what were they thinking!!!?:eek:

I mean , im one of those people who get embarrased just watching it!!!...LOL

Re: X...
 

Awww

It is a shame tho for them that are really encouraged by friends and family
I mean, what kind of people are they to put someone they care about through that!:(

It aint just the rejection is it, It's the humiliation aswell

Sometimes for months, even years after, they are replaying the awful auditions

Re: X...
 

I'll be watching, even if I didn't want to the kids are now of an age where they are into it so it will be on in our house.

I've got to say though......2006 gave us Leona Lewis, fabulous.

What a let down 2007 was.....Leon Jackson, never heard of him since. :(

Re: X...
 

i'll be watching the auditions, i usually sit there laughing my head off at most of them, wont watch it after those till the final though, it gets boring

Re: X...
 

Our family of four will all be sat down watching those idiots during the auditions..................:D car crash tv at its best

Re: X...
 

Well wasnt that good..? and funny, the two lads aka p diidy and rik astley, omg how funny .

Re: X...
 

Makes you wonder about their sanity, doesn't it? :D

I was a bit disappointed tonight, not enough of the seriously dreadful. Still, there's always next week. ;)

Re: X...
 

hmmmm ant and seb lol

Re: X...
 

So thats what the weird noise was coming from the living room tonight

Re: X...
 

How gorgeous is Cheryl Cole? :mosher:

She must have felt awful when that fella, Nick, who auditioned with her on popstars the rivals came into the room, wasn't up to much and was told to give up. :(

Re: X...
 

Awwww yeah, her face! Bless her

But he weren't much kop was he:rolleyes:

Am more hopeful for worse ones next week tho:D

Re: X...
 

I read in the Telegraph that Emma Chawner, the girl from Ramsbottom who auditioned last year has gone back for another go.

This is her if you don't know who I mean.

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/86.$plit/C_...em_0_image.jpg

Re: X...
 

Is that her that they were on about earlier, saying they laughed her off stage?

By saying them, of course I mean someone I over heard on the phone:D lol

Re: X...
 

She was ridiculed last year for her dress, which her dad had made :eek:
and for singing like a baby.

Her parents came into the audition room to beg Simon Cowell to put her through but all they got from him was a telling off for giving her false hopes. :D

Re: X...
 

Yeah I was on about that in another post

Tis ridiculous when people put people they "care" about, through the humiliation

Re: X...
 

I think she'll be good.

Sharon who?

Re: X...
 

would rather watch "Paint Dry":rolleyes: muppets.

Re: X...
 

Something you and I have in common;) My first and last post in this thread:)

Re: X...
 

I remember her all to well............what a shame for her, she was possibly the worst i`ve ever seen.................including Ant & Seb....:eek:

Re: X...
 

I watched it this afternoon, i thought it was very good, but I did think they could have shown a few more auditions that were good. I know thats what people like about the audition episodes but I do think they put way to much emphasis on the bad ones and the sob stories.

Re: X...
 

I love X Factor!
One of my guilty pleasures!
Some of the auditions are so cringeworthy they are brilliant!
Agree with you lolly i hate the sob stories,so cliched and over the top.
We all have crap to deal with in life it really winds me up when they say and nobody wants/deserves it more than joe bloggs etc..
If they are good enough it shouldn't matter about their private lives!

Re: X...
 

i watched it and i love it

Re: X...
 

Well on Saturday I painted the kitchen door and sat there watching the paint dry, much more entertaing:D

Re: X...
 

Well I dont know about anyone else but i'm now totally bored with the auditions. Roll on Boot Camp!

Re: X...
 

The auditions are the best bit about X Factor

Will be less bothered about watching it when they go to bootcamp

Re: X...
 

I'm the same,love watching the awful auditions then fet a bit fed up when its all serious but will probably come back to it for the last few weeks to see who wins.

Re: X...
 

Yeah thats pretty much what we do

Re: X...
 

I'm watching it now - loving it!

Re: X...
 

A girl from Blackburn and a girl from Bolton got put through to the next round last night. :D

I loved the holistic vocal coach woman....haha very funny! :D

Re: X...
 

I read somewhere that the young girl from Rossendale has auditioned again after a huge image change - anyone see her yet?

Re: X...
 

She was tapped!! 'I am not a number..' you could tell she wasnt gunna get through, even if she was fantastic, massive attitude problem!

Re: X...
 

Found this pic via google under the heading 'Emma Chawner..huge image change.'

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/616.$plit/C...A59%3A12%3A265

I wouldn't say it's a huge image change myself...she's just not wearing that horrific wedding style dress that she wore last year.

She's not been shown on X factor this year yet.

Re: X...
 

Well it's a darn site better than the dress.

Re: X...
 

Ha. Could it have been any worse? :D

Re: X...
 

I cant remember....wasnt she awful?

didnt her dad make the dress? i thought it was pretty sweet really

Re: X...
 

Refresh your memory here emamum. :D

YouTube - X Factor 4 - Emma's Audition

Re: X...
 

erm..... thanks very much :(

I doubt she will get through.....

Re: X...
 

She has been on this year. She was on last nights Xtra Factor on ITV2. I wont say if she got through or not incase anyone wants to watch the repeat.

Re: X...
 

did she sing the same song?

Re: X...
 

No she sang "One Moment In Time" the one she sang during the final last year.

Re: X...
 

So she was that bad/good she did`nt even warrant a spot on the main show............?

Re: X...
 

I hate this, i hate it, I hate it - no, not the programme, I LOVE the programme - it's the fact that it makes me cry so much!!!!!!

Re: X...
 

Why does it make you cry?

Re: X...
 

There's always a sob story or ten on xfactor.....we've had dead mums, dead dads, dead wives, people who've been in prison and have turned their lives around to name but a few.

All designed to tug at our heartstrings. :rolleyes:

Re: X...
 

Ahh, must ignore them ones lol

Re: X...
 

last night simon asked for the sob story!!!!

and cheryl is the new sharon, if you make her cry or appeal to her she will let you in!

Re: X...
 

Oh my!!
Am JUST watching XFactor (recorded)

Was in tears with the blonde girl Amy?
She was great!

Re: X...
 

Good to see local girl, and hippy chick, Diana Vickers, has made it to the last few at boot camp.

Apparently she's at my niece's school, but I can't find out any gossip iof she's still there.

This year's girls seem particularly strong.

Should be a good series.

Re: X...
 

Rindy, I have been told she is through to the live stage...helps to have a son connected :D (it's his girlfriend's friend)

Re: X...
 

Wow, friends in the right places.

Good. I like her.

Perhaps Cllr. Britcliffe will give her freedom of the borough if she wins....or even rename it after her.:eek::D

Re: X...
 

[quote=harwood red;635604]Rindy, I have been told she is through to the live stage...helps to



She,s got a lovely voice and such a sweet natural kid. I liked her . missed that she was from Blackburn though till I saw this thread..
Good luck to her.

Re: X...
 

According to The Observer shes not actually from Blackburn. Shes from Accrington, she just goes to school in Blackburn, Westholme i think it said.

Re: X...
 

I want to be Cheryl Cole. :)

Re: X...
 

Diana Vickers from Blackburn/Accrington made it through to the live shows tonight! :mosher:

How cool.....someone from Accy on the live shows. :alright:

Re: X...
 

Yeah, it's so cool. Lets hope she stays in right to the final.

Apparently she is from Accy but went to school in Blackburn. My niece is really excited as she was one of a group filmed in the library at Westholme, doing the 'she's got the X-Factor' cross armed thing.

Besides being local, she seems fairly unique, and reminds me a little of Alex Parks, who won Fame Academy a couple of years ago.

Re: X...
 

Wouldnt mind being Ashley Cole for a couple of hours!! ;)

Re: X...
 

You mean you wouldn't mind spending a couple of hours with Cheyrl, I hope. :)

Not that you want to be Trashley Cole.....he is vile. :mad:

When he cheated on Cheyrl with that hairdresser he threw up in her car and again during sex and then told her she was privileged that Ashley Cole had blown chunks all over her. :(:eek:

I don't know why Cheryl didn't kick him out after showing her up like that.

Re: X...
 

With a conviction for assault, in a night club, under her own belt - why would she?

Re: X...
 

I don't really get what you're saying there. :confused:

It sounds like you're saying that because Cheryl was convicted of assault in a nightclub about 6 years ago she deserves to be lied to, cheated on and humiliated by her husband.....am I right?

Re: X...
 

No, but I bet she can give her nasty cheating husband (I don't defend him at all, he's scum) a good run for his money. She no doubt assaulted him and, in fact, I hope she did.

Re: X...
 

no but they dont spoil a pair.:rolleyes:

Re: X...
 

Yaaaaaay....Loved Diana's performance tonight....and she's coming back next week! :alright:

Re: X...
 

I think she`s awful (but i do agree with garinda, a bit Alex Parks) Laura from Bolton if fantastic but my favorite is Alexandra.......her voice is as good as any American singer we have heard, was suprised that Bad Lashes went because Girlband are just like my sister in law and her mates having a sing song down the pub.

Re: X...
 

Well done Diana!

I'm really glad the public got her. She's ethereal, very English, in a willowy blond eccentric way, and reminds me of a young Marianne Faithful, or Judy Tzuke..

Got to agree about that other Lancashire lass, Laura. Wow. Her jazzy, soulful tones, blew me away. I'd pay to see her.

All three girls are good. Alexandra is a diva in the making.

Good first live show.

Bad song choices for nearly everyone.

Lastly the show's stylist needs shooting, and they should nab the frock maker from Strictly...quick!

Re: X...
 

And the silly american `Creative` director needs to go as well and take his useless stage props with him...........he killed Same Difference last year ( not that they needed much help)

Re: X...
 

Blimey, just Googled Judy Tzuke, to check the spelling, and the likeness to Diana Vickers is uncanny.

What do you think?

Re: X...
 

I think you are right...although she reminds me of 80`s Goth Balladeers.....All About Eve....

Re: X...
 

I think he does most of the costumes and styling for the acts too.

He must have slept with someone, to get the job.

As a former Creative Director myself, I could creatively tell him where to go, and in which direction he should do it.:D

Re: X...
 

Love It................:D and i can imagine which direction you may advise.....LOL

Re: X...
 

I only watched it for the first time tonight just to see our local lass Diana... I thought she was terrific. Yes, different, but an individual style wins in the end, and think that with promotion and expertise she could be on the lines of Kate Bush. If she doesn't win, sure they will do something with her.

Actually loved her outfit Garinda .. suited her style. Just wish she wouldn't crouch so much.

Can't comment much on the others as not seen their previous performances, but thought Alexandra was rubbish.(And that suit !) The girl group was fairly mediocre, and the boy group JLS (?) professional but not very handsome.

The others .. 10 a penny.

Re: X...
 

Her hippy trippy outfit suited her very well, it was the puff-ball dresses, with sequined lips on, that got on my wick.

Re: X...
 

Sorry, meant Rachel here. :o

Re: X...
 

That was an appalling song choice.

Could have had the vocals of any backing singer, and okay to dance to, if you're off your rocker in some club in Ibizia.

Poor girl. She actually has a good voice, but having international singing 'star' Danni Minogue as her mentor is a bit of a handicap.

Re: X...
 

Great start to the show IMO .. Think our lassy from B/Burn is not winning material but she will definately do well in the comp, Lovely unusual vocals. Trying for a jos stone image (SP) imo
the right ones left I think although the other girlband was ok .

Re: X...
 

Wow, tonight's big band show was amazing.

Although the guys were really just the warm up acts for the ladies.

Every girl was outstanding.

Loved Accy's own Bibaesque songbird Diana.

Bolton's Laura was spellbinding, though personally I prefer the Fosse arrangment of the song, that he did for Liza Minelli, rather than Billie Holiday version.

My favourite performance, of the best show yet, was Ruth Lorenzo. She gave me goose bumps, as well as looking fantastic, sort of a Latino Veronica Lake. I take back my comments about the costumes, on the whole the styling has much improved.

Who do I think should be in the bottom two?

JLS, or DFS as I prefer to call them, as that's where they'll probably end up working.

Eoghan, or as I prefer to call him, little Irish emo, troll, gonk.

Re: X...
 

I agree, all the girls were fantastic.

Diana is still my favourite. :)

I think Ricky Gervais man (Daniel) should be in the sing off along with JLS.

Poor Louis, if JLS go he'll have no acts left. :rolleyes:

Re: X...
 

Well, who'd have thought it?

I thought Daniel was definitely going when he was in the bottom two just then but he scraped through.

He's not my cup of tea but he did put a lot into that final performance....even Louis was scriking! :eek:

Re: X...
 

I'll hold my mouth open while you all jump down my throat but I am sick and tired of Daniel and his sob story. Personally, I think it's very distasteful the way he keeps referring to his late wife. He's not a very spectacular singer and tonight, again, he played on the sympathy vote. Louis Walsh is a silly old queen.

Our Laura has a crush on Eoghan so she's desparate for him to win but my money's on Ruth, she's fantastic, with Laura from Bolton a close second. I do not like Diana's voice with that silly hiccup. It grates on me.

Re: X...
 

I agree with Westender, Daniel is milking his sad story for all it's worth. It makes the Peter Kaye parody, about R Wayne only getting through because R Gran died, seem very realistic.

He'd be an okay singer if you saw him in the pub, but he wasn't half as good as Scott.

Re: X...
 

Diana's in the Sun, talking about her cousin, also from Accrington, who's in the army.

Diana VIckers: I'll top chart for my cousin | The Sun |News|Campaigns|Our Boys

Re: X...
 

So where is Diana really from, Accrington or Blackburn , she says Balckburn but the media say Accrington.........? when the vt on the first show, showed her at home with here mum i`m certain that her house was on Burnley Road...............Accrington or not , her voice gets on my nerves...Alexandra or Laura to win for me.

Re: X...
 

I might be wrong pipinfort. But i am sure that i read somewhere that she was born in Accrington but moved to Blackburn not that long ago. Also that she goes to School in Blackburn.

Re: X...
 

I think she lives in Accrington and goes to school in Blackburn.

However, on the vt she keeps saying 'Im just little Diana from Blackburn.'

Maybe she's been told to say that in case no-one's heard of Accrington.:rolleyes::D

Maybe she doesn't want people knowing exactly where she lives.....there are some strange folk out there who'd go and pay a visit to her house.

Re: X...
 

She could be really mysterious, and say she's from Hyndburn.:D

Re: X...
 

i think shes from accy although her mum works in blackburn and she goes school in blackburn.

i think shes excellent

and im rooting for her to win

Re: X...
 

I agree with the two of you.

Daniel is annoying me now with his 'I'm singing this for my wife' lines.

Niki was the same last year.....every song was for her dead dad. :(

As you say, Garinda, it does make the Peter Kay show very realistic.

Re: X...
 

Again strong competition from the other girls in the competition, but by far my favourite performance tonight was by Diana.

Laura started off amazigly, but didn't have the rawness of Jocelyn Brown, who did the original, to carry it off.

Nice to see that when pushed Will Young endorsed Diana.:)

Re: X...
 

Yep, thought Diana did really well tonight. It was strong, powerful but really different.

But, I thought her outfit was wrong, wrong, wrong!

Re: X...
 

Diana was fabulous tonight......it's so exciting to think about what will happen if she wins! :D

I wasn't surprised to see Rachel in the bottom two but was surprised that the judges saved her over Austin.....I thought they'd have sent her home.

Re: X...
 

Diana was better than I've seen her.....if she can only stop doing the Little Richard squeal, she'll be good.

I thought Laura was fantastic, Ruth not far behind, but what the hell is Daniel doing still there? He's mediocre at best.

Our Laura is ecstatic that Eoghan is still in there. There's nothing to compare with a 9 year old's crush. :p
