The X Factor 2008

[dodgepot]

yeah. teenage girls with too much hair that they keep having to flick out of their kooky faces with their cardigan-sleeve covered hands.

 

[PacificOcean]

Diana FTW!

Bunch of miserable old fogeys

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

i can't believe i've been roped into becoming addicted to the x factor this year...normally i avoid that fluff as much as possible.

but diana is fab

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

I'm disappointed they're gonna have Hallelujuh as the winners song, tbh. I really really love the song and can just imagine how overplayed it's going to become and I don't want to end up hating it

And yeah, of course it's totally geared towards that bloody scarecrow screecher Diana winning. It's not really a song for someone with a big voice is it - can't imagine Alexandra or Ruth singing it.
Eggham maybe.
But i reckon it's gonna be them to in the final anyway - Diana and the eggman. Hurrah

interesting...

 

[N_igma]

Dunno what it is but there's something about Diana that makes me hate her guts, probably her wretched voice. Oh and there's nothing original about her either, her image, her voice, it's all been done before.

 

[zenie]

I still don't think that's her natural singing voice...oh well!

JLS to win

 

[zoooo]

I reckon she thinks she's Cassie from Skins.

You are so right.

Like... wow.

 

[Hellsbells]

I still don't think that's her natural singing voice...oh well!

No it's definitely not. It's so affected, it's just riddiculous. Like the annoying baby voice she puts on whenever she speaks. I'm sure she doesn't speak to her friends in that voice.
I think the whole hiccupy, screechy, breathy (and supposedly original) noises Diana makes, kind of disguises the fact that she can't actually sing atall !

 

[Badger Kitten]

You know who Diana is?

Melanie.
Melanie Safka, that's who.

Look what they done to my song, ma

Only Melanie was/is much better than derivative yodeller Vickers

 

[Geri]

Ha! I am the pop picking maestro!She sang that song magnificently and it's a sure fire hit, pop-pickers

Whoever wins it will have a no 1 with it, it's guaranteed.

 

[Looby]

I still love her and I loved it when she did Hallelujah so I'm really chuffed. If one of the others was my favourite I'm sure I'd feel very differently because she is clearly being set up to win.

 

[zoooo]

Boo to the winners getting an automatic Chrsitmas number one. Why can't they fuck off and wait until the week after?

I want Cliff Richard warbling something about mistletoe at number one like the old days dammit!!! That's how Christmas is supposed to be.

JLS to win

I totally agree, and I'd like JLS to win.

I always want to brush that Diana's hair when i see it, hedge and backwards spring to mind.

 

[dodgepot]

JLS make me feel sick.

 

[N_igma]

JLS or Eoghan to win. The rest can suck my big fat salami!

Bollocks.

Diana or Ruth FTW! Eggnog and JLS are shite of the highest order.

DIANA!!!!!!!! DI-FUCKING-ANA!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I still don't think that's her natural singing voice...oh well!

I think you're right...she only did the squeaks to start with...it's the weird Kenneth Williams thing that she's doing now that has totally put me off her.

JLS are terrible IMO - really bland. I just want to slap their little puppydog faces and tell them to get proper haircuts.

I'm ashamed to say that Eggnog is the one for me as well

Alexandra can sure belt it out but she's boring. It's been done a thousand times. Ruth I also find boring. Eggnog is cute and 16 and cute and 16 and (you get the picture)

 

[Hellsbells]

Eggnog is cute and 16 and cute and 16 and (you get the picture)

Nooooo He SO is not cute.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Nooooo He SO is not cute.

He's charmed me. I am under his evil spell. I think it's my age

I will admit though that in the grand scheme of things, he's still fucking rubbish. They all are. Let's face it.

 

[Tank Girl]

alexandra ftw!!

 

[liberty]

I think Diana has a huge fanbase though. Unfortunately

I agree

Ruth is the only one with talent

 

[N_igma]

I thought Ruth's version of Angel was brilliant and unique. But she's Spanish and no one will vote for her so she's up for the chop either this week or next imo.

 

[Onslow]

According to the Times yesterday, the winners song is tipped to be Hallalujah by Cohen/Buckly, which would lead me to believe they are banking on Diana winning since it suites her daft voice quite well and she sang it at boot camp stage.

 

[Gromit]

The Quigglett could do a cutesie version of it too that the grannies will love.

JML would doa Boys 2 Men style version.

Ruth would be screwed as a rock version won't work.
Not ideal for Alexandra either.

Its definately putting the cart before the horse though. Picking the song before you even know and discuss it with the winner.

Who are all these grannies with appauling taste? I'm proud to say that my granny would absoutely DESPISE the eggnogg quigglett if she were ever to watch a reality tv show.

erm, yeah.... i doubt very much whether the winner ever gets a say in the song choice!

 

[danny la rouge]

Hallalujah by Cohen/Buckly.

No. What is Buckley's name doing there? Just no.

Leonard Cohen wrote the song. John Cale recorded a shortened version, with fewer verses. Everyone else records the Cale-edited version. But even that doesn't give Cale writing credits. Buckley can fuck off.

Fact.

 

[zoooo]

Maybe.

But Buckley's (And Rufus Wainwright's) version is still miles better than Cohen's.

No, they aren't.

But Cale's is.
