Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Ah right. I was wondering how people could tell and what is auototune?

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

But it was quite obvious that he was miming as his lips were not in sync with the words, why do you think he used such a big microphone strategically placed so that his lips were not fully visible, how many other singers use such massive mikes.;)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Yeah and when he was being asked questions afterwards, despite wearing a mic he needed to speak into Dermots

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

That is an electronic voice machine that makes poor voices sound better, such as Cheryl Cole's.

A few weeks back Cheryl mimed to that very bad song that got to number one and in the same show Rhianna sang her song, you could hear Rhianna laughing as the food fight started but kept singing without autotune.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Ah right now I understand. What food fight? :erm: How did I miss a food fight? :erm::erm: Who won?

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

At least Steven Tyler can sing but even such a large mike is unable to cover his mouth.:D

Remember when Rhianna was on the show about a month ago and the dancers were sat around a table with food and at the end started throwing it around you can see it in this video around the 4.40 minute mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fImmBjCnQk

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

It also annoys me when Katy Perry sang live and everyone went mad because she sounded awful!, i don't think she was that bad.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Was that on Xtra factor? I dont watch that. I just watch the judges when they are questioned by the public and thats it. I never know when to believe you as your a messer :D:D:D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

The normal Sunday results show on the 31/10.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Ah right I believe you so. I thought you were messing :D:D:D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

That video does tell you where it is from.;)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

You gave me no video :confused:

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

It is in post 207.;)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I have to say though, Nicole Scherzinger was absolutely amazing, I have actually just purchased that song on iTunes

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Sorry for not believing you but I honestly thought you were winding me up :D:D. I pity the people who had to clean that mess up :erm:

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

The only person responsible for "trying to derail" the show is Cowell and the other judges themselves.

---------- Post added at 14:05 ---------- Previous post was at 14:02 ----------

She can sing, you can't deny that, but she's not a performer - not yet anyway

---------- Post added at 14:07 ---------- Previous post was at 14:05 ----------

Funny how a class act like Nicole Scherzinger managed to sing live whilst dancing and being carried about.................................

There's class acts, and there's dross. Biffa Cole comes under the dross category.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

The ones with real talent can dance and sing.;)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

It's like a competition tonight to see who has the saddest story rather than a singing competition. Even Simon Cowell got in on the act to say he was sick as well. :rolleyes:

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Its a gurranteed certainty that One Direction will be in the final, but the dark horse is Rebecca, she is brilliant.

I think that Mary and Cher will be in the bottom two tonight, and Matt could be in trouble to.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I think it will be between Mary and Cher and I'm so so hoping that Cher is gone. I want Matt to win

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Just watched, One Direction sang to perfection, Matt sounded like he wasn't even ill, good as always, Rebeccas first song choice was amazing.

Matt to win for me, but its reaaaallly hard to say.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

The results have been totally fixed, in the showdown between Cher and Mary, it all came down to Simon Cowell, and we sweet little Cheryl Cole wisper send Cher through.

It was very touching when she turned her head towards SC and l lip read what she said, ' Pick Cher to go through' Now we know why she is SC favourite - totally fixed, l won't watch it again.

What we have to have, is the producers have to leave it to the public, as this is what the viewers have to do in the first place, it should be like 'STARS IN THERE EYES'

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I thought that at least Danni would put Mary through. Cant believe that Cher has got through. She will probably be the first out next week anyway and she def wont win it. I'm :shocked: that she is in the final

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I was shocked that Cher went through, she cracks up at the end of each song and tonight she was terrible, l strongly believe that the show will be fixed for SC and One Direction, and even them can't sing in tune.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Did you just see the clip that was just shown on Xtra factor of cheryl Cole? That was so so funny. She had a face like a fish :D:D:D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Arthur I think you imagined the whole thing about Cheryl there.

Have I just upset the foil hat brigade??

Cher was better at her song than Mary. However Simon could have chosen Cher as he knows his act will still have a better chance of winning.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I think Mary was way better than Cher and also Cher acts like a spoilt brat and I dont know why the judges backed her to go through to the final. Matt is the best out of the ones gone through to the final.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I have to admit, I don't think Katy Perry is a great singer. She looks good, is entertaining to listen to (whether singing or on chat shows, she does seem to be quite funny) and has entertaining songs, but I don't think she has a great voice. As such, I think Katy Perry is a great show woman, but not a great singer. She is far from the only one. One other example I can think of is Madonna.

Leona Lewis is the total opposite, apart from she still looks good (so not the opposite to that). She can sing beautifully, but isn't actually that entertaining when talking in interviews.

Is the show fixed? I think it is. I've suspected that for a long time. Think about it. Simon Cowell owns the rights. Simon Cowell seems to favour marketing singers to the 16 to 25 market. Apart from the odd older singer (SuBo), he doesn't seem interested in the older people.

Simon Cowell wants the winner to have the Christmas No. 1 single. This is a lot less likely to happen with an older singer.

Having said, he also seems to favour young boy singers, or groups.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Who is Katy Parry? :erm:

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

http://www.katyperry.com/

Look at the above for some photos, video and songs.

I think her first single is the most recognisable, it's called "I kissed a girl (and I liked it)".

She is also famous for (now) being Mrs Russell Brand.

And regarding my comments above, don't get me wrong, I don't actually think Katy Perry is bad singer. I just think she's good rather than great.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Thanks for the link Stewart. Ya shounds good and the song was catchy. But my favorite is Leona Lewis. She is the best thing to come out of X Factor and they will never again get talent like her. I dont care if she gives good or bad interviews as long she keeps singing the way she sings I'm happy ;):D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Sorry Stephen, but you must be living on a different planet, if you think that Cher is a better singer than Mary, Cher is a young girl who will crack under the strain of the music business.

She shown this in recent weeks, with the croc tears etc, Mary sung much better than Cher, and if you have read the media today, not just in one paper, but many.

It was agreed that Cher will sing a duet with Cheryl, and this was arranged before the show, and the voting was changed also,it should have gone done to the phone vote, rules cannot be changed during the show.

I believe, as l have said before there has to be fairness in shows like this, l think that when this show is over, most of the acts, will be forgotten. but a couple of people will go far, Wagner is a hit, like Jedward, where are the rest, no where.

I don't think Mary would have won, my winner will be One Driection,SC will arrange that, followed by Matt, but i wouldn't surprise me if Rebecca won, as she is brilliant.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I cant see what the judges see in her as a good artist because all I have seen her do is put a bad into a song and that was it. She is also a very rude little madam and was out of order the way she spoke to Danni the othre night. Pity who ever gets to manage her after the X factor as they wont have an easy time with her thats for sure.

I was surprised at the sing of last night as the any act going through to the final was always down to the public vote. Oh well she wont win anyway and will be long forgotton in a couple of months

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Why all the outcry and fuss. Mary and Cher were in the bottom two of the public vote. Tehy have both been in the bottom two before. Therefore whoever was voted through doesn't stand a chance of winning as clearly neither have a strong public backing.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

The outcry and fuss is not because they were in the bottom two. It's the first time that they done a sing of in the semi final. It's always down to the public who sends the person home with the lowest votes. Nobody knew when they were voting that there was going to be a sing of and think that the judges knew that Cher might have got the lowest votes so then in the last minute decided on the sing of

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

OOOOOH how i loved Glee on the x factor, by far the best guest stars.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTcGVtJZgc0 This is brill Leona singing with the guy from Glee

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I feel that Matt is the best artist they have for this series and hope he goes all out to win it. Rebecca second in line. Not a great fan of her voice, it goes through me and One Direction to come third.

Mary has a good voice but not a great voice. Cher is great at rap but not a great singer. I think Mary deserved to go through more than Cher. I was surprised that Danni choose Cher over Mary. I thought Danni wasn't keen on Cher from her comments over the past few weeks. Makes me feel that something was said about that so it didn't go to a public vote! Totally unaceptable to have gone to a sing off imo.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

On Saturday Cher Lloyd attempted to sing Britney Spears song "Everytime" if you would like to hear it sung properly just click the link and you might even recognise it unlike Saturday's poor rendition.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRHAXSRcSH0

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

The song is really lovely. Britney must be so proud of her trying to sing her song........not. She murdered it.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

As a HUGE Britney fan i actually thought Cher sang it better..... :D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

It was unrecognisable as the same song and only realised what song it was because of my daughter, as long as she comes 4th no harm done as she will fail for the Christmas number one.:erm:

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I missed Saturday/Sunday's shows. What is the point in getting people to phone in their votes if the judges (who already have a vested interested) get the final say? If I had voted I wouldn't be very happy! :mad: It's a toss up who is going to win, I reckon it's all up to whoever gives the best performance on the night, given that their nerves are already jangling.:erm:

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s103/...uest-acts.html

More trouble for X Factor :erm:

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

How many acts go out on this Saturdays show, does anybody know?

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

This week is the final so it will be placed 4th 3rd 2nd and the winner. I would love if Matt won.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Gonna miss it tomorrow!! i just HOPE no one tells me who wins, im gonna have to sky+ it haha.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

They're splitting it up over two nights so I think one act will go tomorrow and then there will be the final three on Sunday

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Who are you hoping will win?

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I'm hoping for One Direction or Matt to win. I think the order will be Matt, One Direction, Rebecca and Cher. Who do you want to win?

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Matt and dont care who comes in after that but with the teeny boppers I think it will be one direction who will win :(

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

If there is any justice Cher will be gone tonight.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

why are you shock
ask cowel that question
who watch a fix show anyways

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

X-factor with a touch of porn look :)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Ya It was like a strip show :shocked:

---------- Post added at 20:57 ---------- Previous post was at 20:51 ----------

Yesssssssssssssssss she's gone. :D:D:D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Finally!

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

We can only hope Konnie carries on the theme :)

I wish One Direction would stop hugging each other all the time. it's annoying to see.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Tonights show has got One Direction to win all over it, after the lines were frozen, the camera panned the studio and SC gets handed a piece of paper - results maybe - tomorrows show is going to get a bit tricky.

This will be SC last X Factor, so he will want to go out with a bang.
My prediction (without intervention).

Rebecca Ist, One Direction 2nd, Matt 3rd.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Matt is the bookies fav to win and Cher was fav to go so could be Matt winning with One Direction 2nd

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Looks like my prediction is going well so far :D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Matt I think will win. Well I hope he does anyway

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Anyone know who are the guest acts for tonignt apart from Take that who we have already seen?

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

So glad they didn't come first. they were getting too confident.

and what's with the acting like I'm really ill with Matt when he finishes his songs? he's going to be so disappointed when he doesn't win tonight :)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

One Direction to the------>>> EXIT :D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

And they took their stupid haircuts with them.

---------- Post added at 21:12 ---------- Previous post was at 20:59 ----------

God, it's Robbie Williams and Take That again :mad:

The little munchkin one keeps looking up at the Boss and grinning all the time.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Matt won. I'm so so glad for him :D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo so glad he won, tbh i didn't care who won, both of them are amazing!, Matt could make it in America so could Rebecca.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Thank crunchy that is over, Surfin Bird for number 1 at Christmas and lets hope Cowell stays in America and stop inflicting this rubbish on the charts. Singing live is obviously not a skill tonights lot have mastered.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

well if that was fix then i approve ,matts version of this Biffy Clyro song is realy good hats off to him

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Ya well he's not disappointed now. :D:D:D:D:D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

The poor thing still looks ill. I thought he was just going to use it as an excuse why he lost to Rebecca :)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

detox from the paint fumes mate;)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

He didn't need an excuse as he was the best and the favorite to win and got there. I'm so so pleased for him. He's a really nice guy as well ;)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I am so delighted that Matt won, I told you Rebecca was the dark horse and came second, great news.

I thought that One Direction was below par, sadly they cannot sing, l think the same thing will happen to them, like Eton Road - do you remember them.

Well done Matt and Rebecca

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Matt may have won but I think that Rebecca will have the long term career and will make it on the international scene.

Does anyone want to here how Matt's winning song should actually sound, here in this link is the Indie group Biffy Clyro performing that track as it should actually sound.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

my wife knew the song as soon as he started singing it and was realy happy they chose that song as she is a big fan of them

Incidently Matt one the phone vote every week

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I have always expected him to win from day one and I expected Rebecca to be 3rd and One Direction to be 2nd, I got it slightly wrong.;)

I do though expect her to have a longer and more lucrative career than anyone else in this years competition.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Did anyoner hear that One Direction wasn't even in the top three of voting - SC wasn't happy.

I think Matt will like Olly Muirs, but Rebecca will be a definate International Hit, and will be a great Liverpool great.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

One Direction had to be in the top 3 for the voting as the were only 3 left so they had to be third by default.;)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Ya heard that on Xtara Factor. I was delighted. He had a shock look on his face. Was so so delighted. ;)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I am a huge Biffyclyro Clyro fan and Matt totally murdered that song. Which is actually called Many Of Horror.

No idea why they changed the title to When We Collide.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I thought he sang it brilliant and I'm delighted he won.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Not at all, have you ever heard of Biffyclyro or heard them sing it?

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

they haven't changed the title it's always been Many of Horror(When We Collide)

listening to the original as i type this:D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

If you click the link to my post it is named correctly in that link but X Factor have shortened the name to help it sell better.;)

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35136502-post276.html

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

no offence masque but i think this is a better better performance ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXmY5iFDoPU

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I did expect a better one to be out there, just couldn't find it.;)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Well my album covers show the song as Many of Horror so I am sticking by the fact that they changed the title.

Either way Matt's version is terrible.;)

Much better live performance and the band themselves refer to the song as Many of Horror ;-)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc-JC...e_gdata_player

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

I wouldn't say it is terrible ,but i do prefer Biffy's ,as with most covers they are never as good as the original .
What would be good for the x factor is if they ever bothered to release an original song for the winner instead of doing covers all the time

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Unless you've never heard the original. then you'd think the cover was better than the original.

I think Rebecca will go further than Matt. she'll be suited to dance music as well as ballads. She really needs to do Almaz cover.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

But if you hadnt heard the original you couldn't say the cover was better as you couldn't compare the two!

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Here is this years attempt to topple the X Factor from the Christmas number one.:D

http://www.facebook.com/birdbirdbirdistheword

Family Guy Version.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

That is a good point gary ,and i wonder if the X-factor chose a song like that (non mainstream )so the bulk of the public would think it was an original and also as Stephen said they have used the second title (changed the name) of the song so maybe the Xfactor think that the people who watch and vote are stupid

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Biffy Clyro have always been all over Radio One and especially with that track, so it is a mainstream song.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

You'd hear the original at a later date to compare. doh.

---------- Post added at 22:55 ---------- Previous post was at 22:52 ----------

I think they've just took the word horror off because it doesn't go well with Xmas.

people who watch aren't too bad. it's just the people who vote who are stupid :)

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

maybe pop song would have been a better choice of words;) they are all over the kerrang channel as well

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

If you visit the link in my post you would find out what the song is all about. Not very christmasy at all lol.

Biffy Clyro are an Indy rock band. Not contemporary pop as Louie stated.

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

my wife picked up on that ,but that's louie for ya :D

Re: X Factor: 2010
 

Amazing final, the right person won, and I was almost there with my prediction of the finishing order, good job I didn't put a bet on haha. Also, the many faces of Louis Walsh when the reject auditionees were on haha :D
