X Factor 2009!

[pootle]

I've been to an x-factor final party in a pub with friends and we had a house party afterwards so yea I'm 'wise' enough to be up for that.

I'm not joking btw!

 

[Gromit]

I'm not joking btw!

Well give us plenty of notice if you are up in London.

I need to plan such things around football and to give my Edgeware mate enough notice so that he can put me up for the night.

Will do! I'm North London btw

This show can fuck right off. Along with every other talent show with a panel of 'expert' twat judges and torrent of fame-obsessed hopefuls who think that getting to be an X-Factor winner makes you an instant billionaire.

What happened to proper weekend telly like The Word? I want to see people like Rod Hull and Emu (or an alive equivalent) attacking US rap stars and controversial bands and comedians getting a gig on live TV, along with actual fame-hungry people being made to do stupid stuff like snog a granny. I hate all this polished presenters and endless over emotional wannabes singing Whitney Houston badly. It's fucking dross. No wonder the music industry is doomed.

I cant even tune into MTV now because its so dire to watch. Where's all the good telly gone? I'd rather watch re-runs of Beadles About.




(((Beadle)))

 

[pootle]

Hullo skyscraper101, shall I make a copy of Leona Lewis' CD for you too?

Wan' come to my X Factor party. Gromit's coming, hopefully with his Free Hugs an' everything

The Word was "post pub" telly, not weekend telly.

If you remember, "weekend" telly was shit like Noel's House Party, Blind Date and Gladiators.

Sorry. I know I sound like a grump. I'm really not. But this thread is probably not for me.

It just seems like the whole world likes X-Factor and I don't.

*exits quietly*

 

[oddworld]

I'm in - can't wait.

Yeah... good point. I can't even remember what I watched back then but it certainly wasn't Noel Edmonds. Wasn't Don't Forget Your Toothbrush on the other side? Or even Casualty was good then I recall (before they went all grainy film mode and ER like).

Thing with X-Factor is... it goes on for weeks!! Months!! And It's not even over when its over. Its the Christmas single, the X-Factor Tour... it's a machine that never stops! Not to mention the complete saturation of the schedules with X-Factor...X-Factor Results...The Xtra Factor all hugely corporate and 'in yer face'. And that theme tune! Aggghh, The theme tune. I cant even go to the Chinese and pick up a takeaway without having to endure them all gawping at the screen and that friggin THEME TUNE! I cant escape it

I'm lost in this decade. Bring back the nineties

Ooh! Odds! You'd come to my X Factor party, eh?

 

[oddworld]

Ooh! Odds! You'd come to my X Factor party, eh?

Well pootle I might have to wait until payday but I'd come YES!

Its my favourite , especially the auditions.

 

[pootle]

It's not going to be for a while yet!

 

[oddworld]

It's not going to be for a while yet!

Oh ok , I'll save up then

 

[pootle]

Yes. You will need to save up loads for a night that is invariably going to be fuelled by cheap wine/vodka and snacks. More of which will probably be thrown at the telly than put in face

 

[fen_boy]

It's alright, but it's no American Idol.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yes, I love it, but the schmaltz has me shaking my fist at the camera.

This year I'm going for the following:

AIDS
Cancer recovery
Dead child (yes, that's right, I went there)
Deaf

You forgot dead wife

 

[dodgepot]

i can't fucking wait

x-factor is ace saturday night telly, although the only bad thing about it's imminent arrival is the fact that it heralds the steady wind-down of summer into autumn and beyond :-/

strictly is massively lamecore.

 

[SwizzleStiX]

I shall be a glued to my sofa, will be great

 

[dodgepot]

but will you be watching x-factor?

 

[madamv]

I love X Factor too..

I dont know if I am going to like the way they are doing it this year... The auditions are before a live audience I think. I used to like the thought of the four judges stuck in a some premier inn room, supping luke warm water, having to smell their contestants as the air conditioning is usually on the blink.

 

[fogbat]

The audience are my least favourite part of X-Factor, so I'm not sure I like the sound of audiences in from the start...

Unless it's another daft "We're bringing Louis back" setup thing, that they abandon by episode 2

 

[Gromit]

I used to like the thought of the four judges stuck in a some premier inn room,

Yeah i prefer the commitee room format with whathisface waiting outside like some eager puppy to find out (with great insincerity) how it went and security guards to evict the nutters.

 

[Tank Girl]

you see they have changed the format this year for the earlier rounds, singing to audiences as well as the judges from the off. Looks like the Britain's Got Talent format is creeping in.

I'm not happy with this - but I'll have to just bloody well get used to it, cos i LOVE x factor

This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about vis a vis "Coolest Man on u75"

Tanky is clearly coolest girl, obvs

You win. Man, you're both my new heroes

 

[Gromit]

Yes. You will need to save up loads for a night that is invariably going to be fuelled by cheap wine/vodka and snacks. More of which will probably be thrown at the telly than put in face

No fancy dress? Coming as your favourite judge? I got the trousers that go up to my nipples all ready.

 

[Tank Girl]

I'm getting giddy at the thought of simon's saucy little winks and smiles

Kitten is INSANELY in love with Simon Cowell. She wants him bad!

 

[Tank Girl]

how would she feel about a kitten/simon/tanky sandwich?

 

[pootle]

She'd be all over it.

And then it'd be all over the interweb the next day, I'm sure!
