I thinkthe girl that sang Leonas song should have done something different till she was in her own comfort zone but she was good for the first night and Daniel is mean saying that about Dani. As you said she should have kept her opinions to herself. Why did she say that. Is was none of her business. Is that why he was crying

Looking forward to Whitney Huston next week. Cheryl Cole will have a lot to live up to singing on the same night as her

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Just as well she won't be singing the same night, she'll be singing the day before to give the technicians a chance with Autotune / Vocoder to get her sounding something like ok.

After the last time she sang live on X-Factor that's probably for the best too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcY1rH8x2Qs - she starts regaling us with her voice at 0:58.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

It dont look for her not singing live when she is giving advice to the contestants and they have to sing live on the show. She would have been better of not putting herself forward to sing and just keep on judging.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Louis will not be on the show again this Saturday as he will be attending Stephen Gately's funeral in Dublin.

Ya I know. We will probably have the funeral coverage here on the Irish channels unless the family want to keep it private

re: X Factor : 2009
 

The crap twins must go, they can't sing, they have no talent, and last nights performance was the worst l have ever seen on Tv, and there dancing was that bad, l could have done better on one leg. Its Stacey Solomon for me.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I thought last night's performance by almost all of the contestants was really disappointing. Purely because the choice of material didn't suit the contestants particular style/voice. Olly is definitely in the running, but time is running out for the twins, Miss Frank and LLoyd.

Hands up all those who phone in to place your vote?

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I think most of this years contestants have been bad, and the show has really lost it sparkle, especially with the introduction of the Sunday show, but my gut feeling is that the idiots will be running for a couple of weeks yet, and some hot favourites will be going before them, I also think that SC is pulling the strings on this, as it will make money for ITV, as the more votes for those twits, the more they get, l had one vote last night, and that was for Stacey Solomon.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Cheryl sung live, Whitney mimed and was acting as if she was still on drugs or something :/

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I thought Cheryl was a lot better than last year. I thought Whitney was stoned out her face.

what made you think that , looked normal to me , just a little out of breath ??

She looked disorientated and all over the place, compare what we saw of her last night to what we saw tonight.

Rachel can't handle the pressure at all.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

You see l told you about the twins, its strange last week the twins were first top be called, and this week they were the last ones to be called something wrong somewhere ?, And also Cheryl said what everyone else has said, she couldn't understand the final two were good singers yet those twits were through, l thought Cheryl was brilliant and l will definately buy the singer, as for Whitney, she mimed and totally ****ed.

She was either pi*** to the eye balls or high LOL, i can see the headlines tomoz

That's what they said about Robbie last week. lol

I thought Ricky deserved to go, his version of flying without wings was awful, but it was still better than the cringeworthy performance the twins gave last night. They were shockingly bad.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Those articles were written before last night though, apparently she'd said she was gonna pre-record it (but still sing live into the mic) but according to people on the Digital Spy forums who were there last night (i know it's not a reliable source), she didn't pre-record it in the end because there was a load of fuss about it!

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Yup, did ya watch the xtra factor, some guest said it was completely live.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Oooh yeah i had it on but wasn't really watching it properly.

I thought when Dermot introduced her it was pre-recorded cos he was well away from the stage but seems not.

I thought it was when i was watching it, cos when Simon was talking afterwards it seemed edited but i was obv wrong!

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Ah i don't think we'll ever know really :(

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Have to grudgingly admit I enjoyed Cheryl's performance, pre-recorded or not? But can someone please tell me why the twins are still in the running? As someone has suggested, maybe it's a clever ploy to keep us viewing to watch Simon's reactions to their pathetic efforts. Stacey cracks me up, when she gets excited something happens to her teeth which renders her impossible to understand lol. Lloyd definitely was given the wrong song, felt sorry for him.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Visually the performance was quite attention grabbing ;). Not sure the song was my cup of tea though ?

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I just think that it's all going to Cheryls head.

It's becoming the Cheryl show and she thinks it's all about her.

1. She goes up on stage during the auditions to give rejected kid a hug.

2. During final selection she stops halfway through and makes a big scene whilst telling some kid he hasn't made it becuase "she doesn't feel right" Only to eventually tell him he's not in. Thereby doing nothing but prolonging the poor lads anguish.

3. Starts crying whilst Simon is giving one of her lads pelters, it's not about you Cheryl it's about the lad singing. He's the one up on stage getting lambasted.

4. Cheryls sings.

She's starting to do my head in, she's starting to believe her own hype and if she's not careful she'll go the way of Posh and disappear up her own backside.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

The rumour that l heard is that SC is grooming Cheryl to take over The X Factor for the next series, as he won't be doing the show and will be a backseat person.:D

re: X Factor : 2009
 

You forgot that when she started crying the guy who's she's supposed to mentor came of the stage and gave her a hug. She was the one who picked out the wrong song and he ends up making her feel better when she put him in a place where he could have ended up in the bottom two and she's supposed to be the professional judge

Her bladder is to close to her eyes and crys when things dont go her own way

re: X Factor : 2009
 

The reason for Cheryl taking over, is becuase SC and and guy called Green who own a top London store, are going to to run a company that would control some major companies in the tv business and this is why there are plans to 'blood' Cheryl.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Oh well she can have it all to herself because a lot of people wont be watching it. He may as well just give up on the show

I'd like to be the first to nominate this as worse joke of all time lol ;)

re: X Factor : 2009
 

oi oi oi it sounded funny in my head :D

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Ok on tonight's performance, Lloyd should have gone. Indeed he's not a strong voice and should be on borrowed time.

Rachel may not have been the worst. but despite what the judges might be hearing in the studio, her voice didn't, at least to me, come across well over the TV. Personally I found her voice tone quite flat.

Jedward are, in terms of singing undoubtedly the worst act that has been there for a long time. But Simon Cowell is quite hypocritical given that when he had the groups he heavily pushed Same Difference. What saves both of these acts is the overstaged performance and for that the credit needs to go to the choreographer.

At present, there is no stand out act in this years crowd that for me has the wow factor. Perhaps the xfactor goes in biannual cycles. We had someone I can't recall, then Leona, then another one who dissapeared from the map and the Alexandra, is this year another waste of time?

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Same difference could at least sing, and I didn't have an uncontrollable urge to punch the tv with them.

The thing about X Factor is that the people that vote on the telly, are not neccessarily the people that will actually buy the records.

If you are a genuine potential recording artist and you appear on X-factor then you still stand a good chance of making it - if the market is there for you. Even if you don't become a pop star a career in show business may still beckon.

Ray Quinn and that girl from last year are both in West End musicals, JLS are doing well, that group with the 4 classical singers did well. That other girl from last year has just released a single too.

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

I totally agree with you. Not matter how annoying same difference were at least they could sing. Im Irish and the twins get on my nerves so much that I want to throw the tv out the window but I love my tv to much so I just turn them dowm when they come on. Its going to be a disgrace if they win and I would respect them more if they walked. Dont they have a concience when better people than them actually are going out of the competition over them. I know they are not at fault that they are kept in but they could at least stand down from the competition. And dont start me on Louis Walsh. How people find them funny is beyond me. All I see is two annoying idiots :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

Difficult to predict who will go tonight defirish, possibly Lloyd. One thing is for certain, the twins will still be with us for a fair while yet, they draw the crowds. Hate to admit, but if they were voted off, the show could become quite boring. Didn't like the choice of songs for the last two shows, didn't suit some of the contestants voices for starters. Nobody stands out as exceptional imho. Who are these people who are voting for the twins anyway? Everyone I have spoken to say Jedward should have gone ages ago. Joe, Jamie or Olly to win. :) Now to find out who is going!

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

Can you give us all the email and we cant email in as well. He sure will get a back lash this week that he was not expecting and so he should

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

OK so what is the X-Factor? Is it not a performance competion? Having the x-factor as it's called will not just be about who has the best voice, it's about who the public will want to watch.

Lucy had a great voice, but where was the wow, the I really want to watch her sing?

Jedward can't sing well - we all accept that. But I was creasing up, perhaps for the wrong reasons, watching their Ghostbusters performance. There is no doubt it was entertaining, even if that is for the wrong reasons.

Simon was right. Lucy is very nice but could she win the x-factor - no. I hope for the sake of long term entertainment the twins can't win either. But I suspect they have the potential for a good career in children's TV, which is unfortunately a bigger career than I can envisage for Lucy.

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

I can honestly say no she was not my best singer but she was way better than the two idiots and I cringe as a lot of us Irish do when we see them. Im glad for one thing is that they are not from Cork and are from Dublin. Someone should buy them a one way ticket back to where they came from. Its the injustic of it all and between the two Lucie should have stayed and Simon should not have gone the cowards way and went to deadlock. Hes waiting for weeks to get them out. The only thing now is that to get him back people will not vote to keep his acts in and the twins could now win it and that is unjust because Simon does have the best acts but I agree not the wow but at least they cant belt out the songs better whats left.

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

Blaming Simon Cowell is pathetic - the vote went back to the public so go figure... :rolleyes:

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

Perhaps so Mick. But if Simon Cowell had seized the moment he had supposedly been waiting for so earnestly, then Jedward would be gone. He's the pits, he had the perfect opportunity to get rid of them, and then backed down! Couldn't believe it. I was sitting there with my fingers and toes crossed. But then we know it's all about money, and audiences, who wins comes bottom of the list. For this reason the twins will be with us for some time yet.:mad:

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

Jedward FTW :woot: :D

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

To all the forum and CFT, l would like to say, the XF is a SINGING COMP, and NOT an entertainment show, BGT is a show for that, Those two idiots SHOULD NOT be in the show, if people have read the news today, during the ad break the producer is having talks with SC and the judges and telling them what to do, they knew what was happening, and SC is a blatant coward.

This show is about making extra money for ITV, with the voting, over this weekend alone, they must have made with phone voting, well over ONE MILLION pounds, that is YOU AND ME voting for our favourite acts, that won't go through, l believe there is a deal already on the table with ITV for those two idiots to make it through to the final.

I feel that this won't end up here, someone has sent a photo into a certain paper with LW showing TWO FINGERS to the audience, the show has become a farce, and the show is now for the saving of the financial fall in ITV and NOT US THE VOTER or the acts involved.

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

The show is about making money. I think that they don't want another 'pop star' Leona is still within her sell by date, and Andrea Burke has really only just started.

I think they're trying to create another Ant & Dec out of this. I don't think that was the plan from the beginning. but it is now.

if it's not the plan, then they want people to get so angry about Jedward still being there, that they will spend money on making sure they don't win.

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

I totally agree with you tinky. He had it in his hands to get rid and didn't and thats whats so annoying. Now we are stuck with them. I always thought he would do the right thing but no its about the money and aft what he did last night the public will turn against the show in droves and he deserves it. Any respect the public had for him went out the window last night. I really did think he would have got rid as aft all its a singing competition

---------- Post added at 11:38 ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 ----------

It was in Simon Cowells hands to get rid of them and not put it to deadlock and he didn't and thats what the uproar is about. I would well understand if two singers in the bottom two gave an equal good performance and it was hard to call then go to deadlock. But it was no brainer last night who to put out of the competion

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

The show is an enternment show. If it were about how well they could sing, I doubt most of the current crop could have got through the first round..

Darn right. By throwing the vote out to the public, Cowell, just made sure the show earned more money..

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

Simon showed dislike for the twins since the started and yet the one week he could finally got rid of them he decided against it.

The simple reason will be to get rid of the stronger talent so that his acts have more of a chance of getting to the final.

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

I don't like to argue with fellow members The XF IS not an entertainment show, ITS a TALENT show, BGT is the ENTERTAINMENT show, and also the ITV site was in meltdown, as there was so many complaints about the show.

I can see offcom getting involved with this.

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

Well he has no hope now at all of getting his to the final one way or another as the backlash will be massive votes to put his act in the bottom two till all are gone. The public should now boycott the voting and let them figure out what to do nxt. The show should be even boycotted and stick the fingers up at them for what they done to the people who voted

---------- Post added at 16:25 ---------- Previous post was at 16:19 ----------

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

Hi defrish, I think you will find that Ofcom, has today been rushed off there feet with complaints.

IF it is proven that something is going on, there will be something happening, what you have to realise is that money has been spent by voters, for there acts to hopefully, go through, BUT with infor coming from SEVERAL papers, there was inteference from the PRODUCERS and also SIMON himself, discussiing the matter before going on back on live TV.

Something went on during the break and before the announcement was made and also the PRODUCER went and spoke to all the judges BEFORE the start of the final two. Something has to be done.

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

I dont imagine they have been rushed of there feet aft what happened last night. All I was saying would they do anything in respect of the fact that two went to the bottom two and Simon Cowell went to deadlock and Lucie didn't get enough votes.

If what you say is tru and a lot of underhand stuff went on then I do think that ofcom should get involved and stop all the underhand stuff going on

Re: X Factor : 2009
 

Hi defirish, I am a great believer in the idea that, if someone has won something and it is doen fairly, and that is it, BUT everyone in the UK who is into this show, knows that SC has hated them from the start, and we know that in the past that something has happened underhand with certain shows, ie Ant and Dec, although they didn't know what has happening, BUT in the media over recent weeks, there has been this heated argument with fans and the show about these awful twins, and then suddenly when SC has the chance to throw them out, he back tracks and sends home a very good singer, l reckon in tomorrows papers, you will see that Ofcom, ITV and newspapers, have been swamped with complaints, l do know that ITV's web site collasped with complaints today.

---------- Post added at 21:24 ---------- Previous post was at 21:05 ----------
