The X-Factor 2012

I thought with no Simon Cowell, we'd got rid of Sinitta, but noooooooooooooooooooooo, she has to get in on the act.

WTF? She's a one-hit wonder who went out with Simon Cowell yonks ago. Why is she still getting her Z-list face on the box. And guaranteed, every season you'll get to see her in a bikini. Does the woman live in a bikini?
 
Right.

I am still hating that ghastly hiccuping Irish woman, and the dead eyed woman from Fife (UGH) and even more so the 'silly me' woman with horrid eyebrows in the 25 plus group.

Thought all the boys were pathetic except Frankie.

but will still be watching it in December :(

I live in the back of beyond - what's you lot's excuse :D ?
 
I don't like Frankie, or the Essex boy, or Kitty.

The girls are all OK but they need to get their own style, as they are all trying to sound like Adele - apart from Janet, who is trying to sound like the Cranberries singer or Diana Vickers. I like Misha a lot, but not keen on the rapping.

The kid who looks like Jimmy Osmond was terrible - was his audition a fluke or what, because he was bad at Boot Camp as well.

Strange, wasn't it? Because he was just so out of tune, how could he possibly sing on thinking it was going OK?

I think he needs to do some ear training (recognising intervals and pitch), because his first audition was good, so he can clearly hit the notes when he starts in the right place.
 
Also, at Kelly's house, either she or her mate said (I can't remember the exact words): "I'm worried about her versatility. But her voice is unlimited." What?

I always thought that versatility line the judges trotted out meant nothing at all, and that just proves it. It's just a thing they think they should say.
 
Is Jade the Scottish girl? I've not been paying much attention but she was the one that really stood out for us - she was amazing!... that "quirky" blonde girl was very annoying.... although it feels horrible to say such a thing about such a young girl.
 
It comes to something when Lou seems the most genuine person on the show when dealing with his final picks.

The other three just seemed so scripted doing a job false. If that makes sense?
 
Ok. What happened to Goldie. I was fast forwarding through the programme but was very cross that the Irish arse said yes to her and not Sammi. But then when it came to the summary Sammie was there.
I'm not complaining but what went on?

She was worried that she would be the joke contestant and didn't want to be that.

1. She was correct.
2. Jedward are raking it in. Is being a joke so bad if you are having the last laugh?

Justice has been done though. Its not right to drop real singers just to spice up the show with someone who cant win.

Yes, Jade was the girl from Fife with a great voice. But for some reason a great voice is not what Kelly was after. I can't remember her exact excuse, but it was crap. But she did say she wanted someone who could do "something different every week". Which Luna Lovegood will demonstrably not deliver: it'll be the exact same breathy, hiccuppy, cookiness every time. Big band week? Oh, exactly the same as Motown Week. And Queen week. And Death Metal week.

It's quite clear that the judges are told what the ideal quota of characters is for X Factor, and "the best singers" doesn't come into it. (In fact, I strongly suspect that scouts go out well ahead of the auditions and actively invite people they want in the live show section to audition).
 
urgh. I missed x factor all weekend but just caught up with the xtra factor last night. I can't BELIEVE they didn't put Jade through. She was one of the few I actually liked. But maybe they'll bring her back? They always do some kind of wildcard week, don't they.
As usual, loads of the judges choices REALLY annoyed me. Of course lots of the contestents are put through just bcos they'll make 'good' tv/get in the papers/get everyone talking (even if it's saying how awful they are)

And also, is it just me, who thinks that guy Frankie with the riddiculous hair is crap? I mean he's less crap than the other guys, but crap all the same!
 
Did I imagine it or are marks and spencers using the final 16 in their winter fashion campaign?? Am sure I read that somewhere...

All the men ( ok most ) have that dodgy hair cut thing going on....my daughter told me it is Justin beiber's fault...thankfully I have no idea if that is correct.

Was looking forward to jade too.

Marks & Spencer On Trend For The X Factor 2011

M&S announced as the brand new and exclusive fashion partner of The X Factor!

London, 19 August 2011: As the UK gets ready for this Saturday's launch of the most eagerly anticipated show of the year, Marks & Spencer (M&S) is delighted to announce that it has secured an exciting agreement to become the exclusive fashion partner of The X Factor 2011.

Your daughter is right about the backwards-in-a-wind-tunnel hair "style". The consolation is that they'll look back on it in later life and think what fools they've been.

(I have nothing at all to say about hair in the early 80s... :oops:).
 
Remember it's not a singing competition but who can generate most column inches thus selling more records to the stupid.
 
I am glad Goldie saw sense...there are already a sufficient number of acts to put the kettle on to....hope jonjo doesnt crack up too soon , quite like his voice and altho I missed the boys category am assuming the olly murs one got through?
 
Jade isn't going to sell records end of story. Re Goldie, just a one trick pony who can't sing. Maybe if she could actually sing and be sleazy like Kitty she might have a chance.
