Don't you mean new men. In touch with their feelings. Non repressed?
What women have been asking for for years.

Ahh, this fella, then.
Did you see the clip from next week's programme where Simon Cowell asks him if he was lying? I wonder if that's to do with his sob story about being estranged from his family.
I agree re the Essex boy who cries all the time. Stop it boy, you're giving Essex men a bad name
he wouldn't last 5 minutes in Bas Vegas 
The young girl whose mum died when she was 7 makes me cry every time she sings, she's so sweet and I'd really like her to get through.
I always vow that I won't get sucked in yet every year...

Is no one watching x factor anymore 
Can't believe I actually had to search for this thread!!
What did people think of last night's show?
There are actually quite a few people this year who I almost like, not the usual run of the mill types that they normally get - quite rare for the x factor these days. I have the feeling I'm going to be really annoyed by the judge's decisions tonight though.

I already know one contestant who doesn't get through when i think they are good. Friend of a friend.
Its a crying shame that the girls fell apart. And that they got to lose 3. As the 3 that go will be better than some of the people in the other groups that will get to stay,

I have to say that on the strength of last nights viewing that young girl shouldn't be kept on, there just isn't enough of interest vocally when compared to the other contestants in her group.
Maybe a year or so away would be good for her, and then, if she still wants to pursue fame via this route, she could return with greater depth and maturity to her voice.

take me to the feeling
Cheryl's shot herself in the foot rather, by choosing 6 contestants who are all actually talented instead of 3 good ones and 3 shit ones like everyone else seems to do. Although the second to last one last night was not that great, but still.
I so want Louis Walsh to DIE, he's such an insufferable prick. The fucking cheek of him and Mr Boyzone sat on their money-cushioned arses looking disapproving because the four geographically disparate lads they'd shoved together had not given up their jobs to rehearse. CUNTS.

I think the girls are the strongest category by far - I'd be hard pressed to pick 3, I think there are 5 out of the 6 who are equally good (I don't think I'd put through the blonde girl whose mum died when she was 7).
It's a shame they have to a categorise them in that way as some of the girls who will lose out are way better than some of the people from the other categories who will go through. Quite frankly some of the groups are poor, as are some of the over 25s, and of the boys, they are all pretty samey.

She didn't chose them, she got allocated to them. She does have the hardest decision to make though.
May Kasahara

Ah, I missed the end of last week's - so all four judges choose who goes through to each category before the categories are allocated?
Geri

Yeah, at the boot camp - then they get a phonecall telling them which category they are mentoring.

We're going to lose the next war because of all these cry babies if we're not very careful.

Is Dermot o'leary gay? Not that it matters, but just wondered....

Pretty sure he has a girlfriend.

Fucking hell. What's with all these pathetic blubbering blokes? I got rejected 'nuff times by record company execs face to face and never had to break out the industrial Andrex packs.
I guess all the boohoo-ing is a product of the 'get rich/famous' quick mentality of these shows where people think that "working hard" and "giving their all" is turning up for a few auditions and preening for the cameras.
They should pack 'em off to a year or two of playing the Welsh valleys working mens' club circuit. That'll show those blubberers what fucking hard work looks like.
*Shame about the afro kid. He was good.

Dermot really does look as though he's enjoying all the hugging
