The X Factor 2008

[Badgers]

I thought Emma Chawner was winning?

 

[tarannau]

That's actually really sad Badgers. She got her family evicted practicing so that she could be one of the jokey no hopers on the X Factor that we all laughed at.

Simple fix is to never watch X-Factor

Oh dear oh dear.......

Risk: Police fear X Factor judges, including Simon Cowell, left, could be targeted

Woo hoo. Go Bakri and you terrorist types.

(PS Can you take Diana and that Dead Wife bloke out first)

 

[electrogirl]

Kooky twee pants is on my list of hate this year - I find her enormously irritating, especially that little hiccup thing she does with her voice after practically every line. She's far from the worst though - that's a toss up between Pontins boy and that awful kid with the eyebrows and bird's nest hair. Oh, and dead wife bloke - how could I forget him?!

Diana's fucking awful. Silly wishy washy, affected voice. Every song will receive her predictable speshial treatment - in the sense that she'll sing it badly with a touch of Phoebe from Friends style forced kookiness. Yuk.

I don't think it's forced, I just don't. I can understand if you don't like it, but I think it's the ways he likes to sing and that's it.

oooh - so she's a tranny, too. very convincing, i have to say

 

[Tank Girl]

lulz

 

[tarannau]

What, she just stumbled upon the style of vocal emphasis which her 'mentors' encourage and emphasise every week. You can see her little vocal foibles signposted a mile off - it's deliberate rather than a natural flow. It's like Kate Sodding Nash and the unnecessary matey mockney twang

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I don't like kooky no-shoes either. I find the squeaky thing highly irritating. Everything she sings will sound the same. She's all right but not my cup of tea at all.

Laura's the one for me! (does she have a nickname?) Pontins, weepy long face and hamster are all appaling.

she sung like that before the mentors got involved though

 

[Tank Girl]

yeah, it does seem more contrived now. I liked her in the auditions, but the squeak/hiccup is really beginning to bother me now.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

That's why I think they're encouraging her...they think she's like Kate (sodding) Nash and therefore kewl and down with the kids. When actually all she has is a weak voice and a "cute" gimmick.

 

[electrogirl]

BUT I LOVE HER STOP BEING SO MEAN.

aka i have run out of arguments.

 

[tarannau]

Yes. And they should have ironed it out now, but they've left it in for kooky factor. She's got new 'annoying MOR songstress selling bucketloads in Woolworths (for one album)' potential written all over her, but only if they can differentiate her from the other reedy voiced nobodies.

 

[dodgepot]

i used to hate kate nash and now i think she's okay

but diana is getting more and more annoying, yes. cheryl's probably telling her that the public really love her kookiness and to play on her difference, but really it's going to end up making everyone want to pour bleach down her throat and put broken glass on the stage

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Soz. She's still massively better than any of the utterly charmless boys or the boyband who have the world's most hilarious haircuts

 

[tarannau]

That's a great idea. Can we do it before she gets to put her anodyne squeaky cover version song murderation on album

i like nash too. whichis probably where this stems from. i'm naive, i don't think nash or kook no shoes are contrived.

oh, except for the not wearing shoes. that is silly.

but apart from that, i think she's genuinely cute and good. and i like the way she sings, she's interesting, and i like the way she turns her songs into unhinged intense songs.

so there.

 

[electrogirl]

i'll say it again. she should've been on fame academy. not pop factor.

 

[PacificOcean]

They are all going to go KABOOM! anyway according to The Sun.

Some cleric has put a fatwa on the X-Factor.

 

[Hellsbells]

Can someone pleeeease tell me where i can download last Saturday's xfactor?
I've started watching it on itvcatchup.com but it's rubbish and keeps crashing.

 

[Gromit]

The no shoes thing is genius. Think of all the foot fetish guys she must have spending big dosh on repeated votes.

 

[Onslow]

Well I think the best performance so far has been Ruth singing Purple Rain.
So stick that in your pipe.

You could tell she really loved that song, and I can imagine her having a real eclectic taste in music.

i thought it was quite amazing, but also kind of mental and thrashy and manic.

does liking purple rain make you eclectic?

it is real urbans

I thought it was cringeworthy. It reminded me of Nikki from last year - when she was straining to get the notes out, she looked like she was about to shit her pants.

 

[Onslow]

does liking purple rain make you eclectic?

Nooo. I think liking a wide array of music makes you eclectic doesn't it?

And that's what I imagine her to like. Loads of stuff.

I agree with Onslow. Most convincing performance to date. You could tell it was a song she loved and was giving it everything cause she knew it well. If only she could do all her songs that well.

 

[Hellsbells]

wow, i managed to download Ruth's purple rain from last week as I'd missed it - it was quite amazing. For once - an original and slightly different song choice. Don't think anyone has ever sung a song like that before. It was ace
The judges really should take note and let the contestants have more say over the choice of songs
