The X-Factor 2012

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Still half

 

[Stash]

Why is Janet on straight after Misha? Is it her bedtime?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Don't like that at all (Janet Devlin)

 

[Looby]

I'm a bit behind as I wanted to skip the ads. Loved Marcus, Sophie was good but not amazing, liked Mischa and still want Tulisa to stfu.

 

[Geri]

Tulisa loves herself too much.

 

[magneze]

Frankie terrible again. Judges all deaf.

 

[Geri]

Kitty looks like a scary nazi.

 

[Hellsbells]

The boyband were dreary and crap. Sophie was disappointing again. Janet was dreary again. Frankie needs a slap - his 'bad boy' act is so contrived.
Marcus is good, but I can't say he exactly excites me or that I'd ever choose to listen to any of his stuff. Mischa was good as well but I doubt either Marcus or Mischa will win.

And I can't bloody STAND Tulisa. I miss Kelly. Alexandra Burke thinks way too much of herself - most of her comments are cliches she's heard other judges say in previous episodes!

 

[Hellsbells]

Little mix

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Kelly and Tulisa aren't on talking terms according to the papers

 

[Hellsbells]

yeah, Alexandra Burke seemed to imply she might be back again next week

 

[Geri]

I'm finding it dull because there is no-one I *really* like - they are either OK, or really annoying (Frankie & Kitty).

That's why I'm still only half-watching

Have now come to the conclusion I feel the same way about the American one although I do actually look up and watch the occasional act, which is more than I'm doing for the UK one

Yes! They both need to wind their bloody necks in. If things are really that bad between Kelly and Tulisa, the producers would be idiots to lose Kelly over this. They should bring back Chezza. ; )

 

[Hellsbells]

oh dear. This is BAD. Goodbye little mix i think. Definitely bottom 2

It started off well - lots of talent, but they seem to have rejected some of the best ones.

 

[magneze]

Johnny best again as last week.

This could be the death of it

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

If that lad sings one more Adele songs I'll slit my wrists. Or his.

 

[Looby]

I love them. Slightly rubbish song choice but they're good.

Late review but we were watching this while bitching at Ms T's

Anyway, Little Mix were our performance of the night. Marcus, Mischa and Johnny were also approved of. Of the others Kitty was good, Craig good but dull, the rest were mostly meh with Janet being singled out for rubbishness (mostly by me tbf )

In other news interesting background to the guy who left The Risk. Very unusual and high achieving given his background, and I think he's probably made the right decision all things considered:

Was Janet rubbish or what??? Terrible song choice, terrible performance.

Marcus still on track to win I reckon.

 

[smmudge]

What was "fright night" about it? Sing any song but dress up in sort of 'scary' looking costumes??

 

[Hellsbells]

There's something incredibley boring about Marcus though. Although having said that, Matt Cardle managed to win last year....

 

[pennimania]

I simply cannot stand that hiccuping wench - from the look of her curdled face she doesn't like her own performance much either.

The only one who is any fun at all is Johnny - he can actually sing AND he has a personality. I could see him with a chat show.

Whether I woud actually watch it is another matter

 

[felixthecat]

Exactly. He's got all the characteristics of an X Factor winner. He's got a degree of talent, he's good looking with a great smile, he comes across as a nice guy, he's not 'extreme' in any way and above all I think he's malleable.
He's just what they look for.

 

[smmudge]

wtf? this is so pre-recorded

 

[Hellsbells]

oh god could this get any worse? Bloody cher lloyd. urgh. Time for a tea break

 

[Hellsbells]

good grief. Shes like a mini Cheryl Cole trying to impersonate Gwen Stefani. And doing both VERY badly

 

[colacubes]

Sophie and Mischa ffs Sophie's going home then.
