The X-Factor 2012

Aren't the majority of people who watch the x factor and actually pick up the phone to vote generally little girls and older women though, rather than people like us on internet forums who rip the show to shreds every week.
 
Gary saying he lied has torn it for me. Louis is a joke. Tulisa isn't starry and Kelly is wasting her precious time and talent. It's boring as sin and they're all pretty much shit.

I used to HATE it, found it amusing the last couple of years, but I'm bored and disgusted again now.

This ^ opinion subject to change at anytime
 
Yeah, can't help thinking that Gary has shot himself in the foot by confirming something we all suspected. How can anyone take him seriously now?
 
Tulisa bringing up the bullying on live tv is wrong. But Gary is out of order too. Saying he doesn't care what happens off stage. No one should be bullied, and I fear for kitty's mental state.
 
I'm new to X-factor believe it or not. Is it compulsory for black contestants to be forced to sing songs by black artists? Last night every white singer sang a song by a white artist and every black solo singer sang a song by a black artist. Of the groups, the boy group have one black member so they get a song from a multiracial group and the girls appear to have one mixed race member so they do a song by a white artist but with a few lines from a Salt-n-Pepa song to account for their 12.5% 'blackness'. Surely far too much to be a coincidence?
 
Tulisa and Louis were bang out of order last night, dragging that shit up was so wrong. The comments should have been about her performance which was fucking great and miles ahead of the rest of them.

Gary is wrong though, he should care about what goes on backstage but it should be dealt with backstage.

I don't care about Gary lying about Frankie, all judges will do that, they're not going to slate them. Frankie totally fucked up that song last night and no-one commented at all.

Most of all I am absolutely pig sick of Tulisa. She's a moron, her comments are stupid and pointless and she's a shit judge. Her song choices were awful last night.

I have no idea why she was picked as a judge. Kelly is amazing, I love her.

Ruth Lorenzo sang Purple Rain a few years ago, and she is Spanish. By your reasoning, she would have been singing something by Julio Iglesias.

It wasn't reasoning, just asking. It's the only time I've ever watched more than 5 minutes of the show.

The other thing I noticed was they were all really really really bad at singing. So I probably won't be watching it again.

I noticed this too. It's really weird.
 
Like most of you lot, I'm kind of past caring, but expect I'll still be watching tonight regardless :rolleyes:

So anyone want to predict the bottom 2 and who'll be kicked out?
Frankie really ought to go. Awful awful performance & loads of bad press. Maybe Sami. She's so forgettable. Can't imagine anyone ever buying her records. Janet was awful, but doubt she'll be bottom 2. Sophie was pants but she's one of the few with any potential so hopefully the public will see that......
No one was great but those I don't think deserve to be bottom 2 are Craig, Marcus, Johnny and Mischa. And maybe Kitty. But she's so unbelievably fake and annoying and in need of a gigantic slap....

I think we should also be voting the judges off. The only decent one there is kelly Rowland. The rest need replacing. And I had such high hopes for Gary Barlow and his pensive face and stubby chin. Now he just needs a gigantic slap as well. :mad:

Going to have to pretty much agree with your assessments there.

They were ALL RUBBISH and it was ALL down to song choice, imo. Poor fucking Sami almost crying in rehearsal, not wanting to do Cher. She knew, and she was right. Rhythmix were all over the place (Tulisa's fault) but in no danger, I don't think :hmm: Can't even recall what The Risk did. All the pre-song build-up for Sophie and her perf was just nothing, and I don't think that was strictly her fault either.

It was all fucking mess. Rock Week :facepalm:
 
Actually, when I reckon someone is 'in no danger' I have to remember Aiden last year :oops: That must have been my first year taking it 'seriously' and I was shocked to all fuck when he went after one, imo, ropey performance. Shocked, I tell you!
 
Gary can literally do no wrong, for me. I'm trying to imagine what he could do to make me say no that's enough, sod him. But can't think of anything...
Hm.

Tulisa and Louis are dicks though.

Gary was a bit of a dick last night but they've clearly been told to liven things up.

Tulisa is definitely cosying up with the wrong judge, Louis is a fucking bellend.

I feel sorry for Sami because although Gary is right about her, they put her through.

She's no more cheesy or cruise ship than she was in auditions or boot camp and Louis chooses terrible songs for her but what else is she going to sing.

I suspect whatever she sings she'll make it a bit Jane McDonald...
 
And Tulisa's suddenly gone a funny orange colour. I genuinely tried to alter my TV's colour ratio, thinking there was something wrong.

I agree, Sami can't help being a bit cruise ship, it's just her style. She does feel a bit 'X Factor 5 years ago' though.

This page should do it. Underwhelming, with enforced disagreements.

I wonder if the judge's will wind it in tonight? The Misha stuff was all over Radio 1Xtra today - phone in and everything. Ratings ratings!
