The X Factor 2008
- Thread starter Miss Potter
- Start date
agreed. seen them in concert three times, and been in a very small crowd for an exclusive PA and can definitely say that they can all sing live. and seen and heard them sing well enough live on telly and radio countless times.

Ok I've just watched this on sky+.
Why the fucking hell did Louis let Girlband sing that fucking awful song- why the fucking ballads?
The boyband were nothing special, Austin I think is quite good but shit song choice, Scott is average.
Diana, Laura and Alexandra are all amazing and Cheryl must be feeling so smug because she has got the best category by far. I love Diana and I like her quirkyness. I don't think it's put on, it's her.
Rachel was shit again, I really don't think she's all that.
Ruth is a bit 80s rock chick for me, I could imagine her in some spanish version of Heart.
The child was always going to do Ben wasn't he. *Yawn*
Dead wife dad-who the fucking hell is voting for this goon, they are fucking morons. Sorry moomoo but he is fucking appalling and you must know that he doesn't belong in the competition. Later on if really good acts go instead of him it's going to make a fucking laughing stock of the whole thing.

I think he appeals to the more mature woman - my mum likes him.

I get that and generally I can see the appeal to a point with the oldies but he's crap. He's not a good singer, he has no charisma and frankly I think he needs to lay off the St Tropez because he's starting to look like an oompa loompa.
All he has is a sob story. Sad as it is what happened to his wife it does not make him worthy of this stage of the competition.
What gets me more than anything is that the judges put him there in the first place, they are the professionals and are supposed to make rational decisions not emotional ones.

it doesn't, no. you don't want to be hit by his missus though! 
Oh, I fully appreciate that he's not 'X Factor' material. I just think he looks lovely.

Don't you see the oompa loompa emerging?

Are we taking bets on who will win this year? Austin will win this year, and Girls Aloud can't sing. I can't believe that people attempt to justify this mediocrity. Bin. Ban.

take me to the feeling
Missed this at the weekend and, having caught some of the performances on YouTube, I'm actually glad. Rachel was so awful I couldn't even finish watching; Daniel should just leave quietly by any convenient side door. Diana surprised me by being quite good, Laura ok, Ruth blah. Didn't bother with the rest
