I've just got round to watching it off my hard drive.
OMG
am totally not disappointed but also am not liking the new audience format though.
That fella at the end was ok, but not as good as the judges were raving about. He was all a bit wonky at stages and the cavorting around got on my wick a bit.
No real stand out stars atm for me. That Stacey bird was pretty sweet though.

Not very good lurker
The audience is either a lot more polite than I thought or it is being toned down in production. There was one of the baad acts, can't remember which one, that if the equivilant had been on BGT the audience would have been shouting "Off, off, off" but they seemed pretty civilised on the X

A poster on Digitalspy had been in the audience and they were told by the warm up guy not to boo the acts, but they could boo the judges if they wanted. Because they didn't want it to seem like BGT.

Where is my mind?
All staged...and I seriously object to being manipulated. We never get the misery memoir from the people who are rubbish, do we?
Hate it - only got it on because the neph and niece love it.
Afro fella quite good, though. Might have practiced that once or twice.
I really wish they'd just left the "brother" sob story out of it. The initial bit where he couldn't come the previous year because it was his brother's wedding would have been better left at that I think.
The deadly silence of the audience for the truly awful act (2 girls I think) was brilliant though.
The last guy was great fun, but that hair has to go.

Yeah that was my issue with it.
The whole story seemed deliberately manufactured.
Your brother died?
Was it during the auditions so that stopped you?
No? Bugger!
His wedding was round abouts that time though, could we use that?
Well he could have just driven to one of the other locations on another day but the audience won't think of that, yeah lets use it.
Now if only we could get a small child involved too somehow.

Addicted to handstands!
Didn't watch it last week, but I'm watching this week's X Factor (in Cardiff), and I'm loving the new format - it works for me 
And the two absolutely amazing girls singing were such a treat!
(No sob stories this week, thank god, and I give that couple another couple of weeks before they split up again
Simon practically forced them to get back together, cheeky bastard!)

That French guy was hysterical! I've never, ever seen anything quite like it in my life!
We think he went there as a dare! Makes me feel happier to think that
Or he's after a career as a comedian
I'm quite liking the new format... and I think it encourges a different type of performer. One who already has some experience of dealing with large crowds or with massive self-confidence.
After, what 7 years? We've heard almost every put down possible by the judges... so it makes a nice change to have an audience to influence or interact with proceedings... and it's clear it hasn't worked out exactly as Simon Cowell had imagined with the audience taking to the funny and bad contestants almost as much as the really good ones.
And the standard has been excellent this year. Each show has thrown up 2 or three really strong contenders already.

oof
It's all blatantly pre-arranged: only the good, the feel-good and the barking mad/appallingly bad get to go on.
as I think someone has already pointed out.

Yes.. because the legions of averagely talented wannabes who get told they are good, but not good enough, would be so interesting to watch.
