The X Factor 2008

As for the fireworks: so what? There's nothing that says sick people can't enjoy themselves.

Yes, but if you have a bad throat, I'm sure you're not supposed to scream at them and neck champagne.

 

[Looby]

Is there video or a photo? If it's just a photo then how do you know she was screaming? She could just be going ooooooooooh or aaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

 

[electrogirl]

since when do people scream at fireworks anyway? I've never been to a bonfire night where people are going 'AAAAAAAAAAAARGH' at the fireworks?

I only do it for comedic effect but I'm sure magic sam no longer finds it funny.

It was film, they showed it on the Xtra Factor.

Diana is said to have complained about her voice on the previous Sunday, and missed rehearsals all week.

But she made the strange decision to brave the cold weather on Wednesday, where she was filmed squealing and energetically jumping up and down with her fellow contestants.

 

[Sweaty Betty]

well sing she must this week- or out- if out- i reckon they will ask laura back!!

We (or I) can only hope!
Although it would be incredibely unfair, tbh. I mean, for whatever reason, it was the public who put Laura was in the bottom 2 last week.

 

[oddworld]

I'm sulking about it, I want to boycott it but I know I'll end up watching

That one that was kicked out has gone to ofcom

Media regulator Ofcom has received a petition with around 50,000 signatures from evicted X Factor contestant Laura White complaining about the hit ITV1 show's phone voting set up.

Ofcom is to investigate claims that some viewers found it difficult to vote for White, who was voted off on last Saturday's show.

These shows do use sneaky tactics to engineer results. I wonder who she upset behind the scenes then? /conspiracy theorist

 

[PacificOcean]

I very much doubt with all the hoo-ha and millions in fines for dodgy phone ins that ITV would even contemplate touching anything dodgy with a barge poll.

OFCOM gave them such a slapping last time that the financial penalty this time would be huge. Even bigger than the £5 million fine last time.

 

[electrogirl]

I don't think anything dodgy happened, people are just weirdo, they loved crooner Daniel FFS.

I think Laura was overrated to be honest, she was good at belting but her shoobady wops were weak and annoying and contrived.

And she seemed quite a boring person.

I'm not saying she is a boring person but that's how it came across, not much charisma.

 

[zenie]

I don't know what "street" means, either! I'm 43, you know!

If, as reported, she can't do this week either, then she should be out. One sick note is fine, but she can't go playing that all the way to the final, can she?

As for the fireworks: so what? There's nothing that says sick people can't enjoy themselves.

It's just a nonsense word for cool

And I think our government would take a very dim view of your last paragraph, how dare you say ill people can have fun

Fucks sake I hope Laura doesn't come back, this sick note and phone line problems thing is turning the show into a joke.

I fully agree. Laura sucks.

 

[dodgepot]

i think laura is great and i won't be watching it any more. and that's a fact.

She was creepy. That weird thing she did with her voice made me feel violated.

ooooooooooooooooooooooh

 

[dodgepot]

i didn't notice anything weird with her voice.

i've said it before. she sounded like belinda off big brother.

i'm telling you.

 

[ChrisFilter]

i'm telling you.

I never watched it, tbh. Sounds like a good job too. Laura's jazzy little croaks were the sonic equivalent of being felt up by your weird aunty.

 

[zenie]

I'm sure the producers are REALLY bothered about you not watching it.

 

[dodgepot]

they fucking will be once i've sent them a stern e-mail

 

[electrogirl]

if you chuck in the word 'outraged' then you're onto a winner i reckon.

why don't you write to louis? and if you do, can you also ask him what he keeps in his eyebag pockets?

thanks.

oooh you evil bitch!!

 

[electrogirl]

oooh you evil bitch!!

I'm intrigued!

Why are they so puffy? Why is he always so tired with tiny crab eyes?

He's not the prime minister, go to bed louis!

It's just a nonsense word for cool

Its just a word for chav, ghetto and poor.

Or its sposed to mean where the person has practiced their skills in real life (street corners, shady night clubs) rather than in a drama college or a warm studio with proffesional vocal coaches.

 

[danny la rouge]

It's just a nonsense word for cool

Ah, that must be the kind of "cool" where you shave a little bit out of your eyebrow and join a boyband on a prime time reality show.

Anyway, thanks; that clears a lot up for me.

(Street= desperate and a bit of a mummy's boy).

Black people can't be chavs

I'd say most of the boy bands you see are manufactured with vocal coaches tbh.

bingo

Raceist!

Why can't they be? They have the same right to be chavs as others Grrr.

Re: laura, from this weeks Holy Moly!

Mariah Carey certainly had her full entourage on show backstage at 'The X Factor' last week. It was incredible, even by HER standards! If she turned her head to the left and started to move her arm, a drink with a straw in it got seamlessly placed in her left hand and removed when she'd had a sip.

In other X Factor news - perhaps Laura White fans (and the Daily Mirror for that matter) should spend a little less time making up bullshit conspiracy theories (tactical voting from Louis 'Conway Sisters' Walsh?! NEVER!) given the fact she was extremely disliked by some behind the scenes.

"sick of seeing her sulky face"

...was just one of the choice quotes overheard...
