X Factor : 2009
 

It only felt like yesterday when Alexandra Burke won, it kicks off 15th August, its been reported that the intro has been changed slightly with the judges on speed boats on the Thames interesting lol. What are you looking for this year? i seem to make threads rather early haha

re: X Factor : 2009
 

This year I want no sob stories. If they want a sob story then they should have a special programme for them. They are this year going to have it like Britains got talent and have the contestents audition in front of a live audience. Some of the contestants that auditioned had to come back and audition again for this format. I think its much better like this than watch the 3 judges on there own.

They have also got rid of Tony the big security guy. I thought he was lovely and they got rid of him by phone which was mean. I hope they have Lenona on as a guest again. She is my Fav winner and so sweet.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

according to reports the x factor will be shown on Sundays! well i hope so because nothing is on on a Sunday except for songs of praise....... haha

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Oh jesus christ! I wish this show would go away, it's so fake and fixed..

re: X Factor : 2009
 

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I agree with you about Tony and Leona Lewis, Tony was one of them nice guys, Leona was so down to earth, she didn't know how good she was.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

X factor advert just aired and it looks like the auditions have all changed it looks a lot like Britains got talent lol

1 day to go!

some clips here

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I think that ITV and SC have dropped a very big clanger with the decision to have a Sunday result show, and this will obviously be recorded, and with a lot of money being paid in phone calls, the result will already be known on the Saturday, SCD tried this, and now they reverted back to the same night result.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Nice article about the auditions on the BBC.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

wow i wouldn't bother going!

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Such a manufactured fixed show but we still all watch and follow it.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

1 hour to gooooo

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I'm sat here shaking with excitement :) , finest programme made since world in action.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

So far, aint too bad, but I think having the audience is a mistake....

re: X Factor : 2009
 

haha what a great show!! Daniel was amazing!

---------- Post added at 20:31 ---------- Previous post was at 20:29 ----------

Sister act where hilarious haha

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Hmmm, I have mixed views on this new series.

The audience screaming in the background started to iritate me. The fact they don't cut the singers off and even let the bad ones finish their songs on numerous occasions means that there is now less time to view the auditions.
This means you get 2 second clips and the judges going, Yes, Yes, Yes, and you have no idea as you never heard some of them sing.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Daniels performance again

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

such a nice guy

re: X Factor : 2009
 

total load of b......s.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Someone on this forum has mentioned the lad to has Aspergers Syndrome is strongly tipped to win the series.

I have two things to say on this, One l think he can, as they are determined people, and once they say they will do it, they will.

My only problem is, could he crack on LIVE Tv, if he hasn't been out of the house for a long time, you don't know how he will take the pressure.

My Son has this illness, and he is very determined in what he does and says, he wants to go to stage school, he goes to college with determination and the hardest year is now upon us. But good luck to the bloke.:)

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I watched half of the x factor last night and then watched big brother and have to say with both of them I was bored to tears. The only good act that was good was the guy who got the standing ovation from the judges and the audience. They should now the x factor contastants to go because he looked like a def winner and the way he worked the stage and the audience was brill. He was like a professional. I hope what happened to Susan Boyle wont happen to him because It would be a shame.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Has anyone noticed, the day after the shows comes the 'sad' bits of the singers, l think the two cocky kids, need a kick up the backside, and they won't go through, they are smug, cheeky and shouldn't be on the stage, SC will rip them to peices.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I just turned it on when they were been told if they were getting tru or not. Does anyone have an youtube clip of there performance. I hate when the sad stories come along. They shouldn't be telling us sad stories. Its a singing competition not a sad story comperiton and thats all they be should be judged on.

you can watch them all here defirish :>

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I was bored watching this on Saturday. I normally really enjoy the X factor (especially the audition stage), but changing the audition format so that singers 'perform' to a live audience is, in my opinion, a mistake. It just felt a bit flat.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I agree that it was real mean how they got rid of Tony. He was lovely and up for a laugh on xra factor. Like you Nidge Fiona is my all time fav and they will never get anyone like her again. Alexendra Burke was a good singer but that was it. Her personality needed to be improved

No more just juges film crew and contestants... we have

50,OOO crowd too who paid dosh to get in to see the auditions.

Money spinner if you ask me.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

You now see hardly anything. You see more shots of crowds shouting their heads off, Simon Cowell and co walking around, and XFactor trucks on the motorway.
Pointless.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

And we have another Daniel from last year with a sob story. I wish they would stop these sob stories and just let it be a singing competition. Cherel and Louis Walsh both have therre bladders to close to there eyes.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Oh! For a minute there Frankie I thought you were talking about their sexual preferences lol!;)

re: X Factor : 2009
 

To the CFT, l wish to make the strongest possible complaint toward this forum for the sheer stupidy of giving out the answers to whom has the groups, singers etc, in The X Factor, I also recieved an email giving out these answers.

I will also make a formal complaint to Channel Tv who are co owners along with SC for this show, it has totally ruined the whole conext of this show, and l am totally surprised that the CFT have allowed this to go through.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

If you didn't want to know then you shouldn't have clicked show on the spoiler tags

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I got a bloody email, l am not that bloody stupid, it spoils the entire show for everything, so if you think its funny, l don't.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I think you're going a little over the top, with everything being pre-recorded, it's bound to get leaked. It was even published in The Sun what all the judges got so the info is readily available.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Or whoever leaked it is wrong.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

What would you have them do ? They can only react to something once its been posted. They cant know what someone is going to post Arthur. May I surgest you don't subscribe to thread's anymore that should solve your problem.

---------- Post added at 16:37 ---------- Previous post was at 16:36 ----------

To be fair the spoiler tags dont work when your subscribed to a thread and the reply's come to your email. However Arthur is over-reacting as usual.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Indeed, even if the post had been deleted/removed/edited, you would still have seen the text that should have been hidden by the spoiler tags within the email you received.

This is one of the unfortunate issues that exists with the spoiler tags and it's not something that we can do anything about.

I strongly suggest you calm down Arthur.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Hi RobM CFT, I have calmed down, when l have seen these before, l delete the item, l actaully got an email with the results, and yes l did read the item in the papers, and l sent an email to Channel Tv who make the series, they stated to me that these ARE wrong, and don 't believe what you read.

I also understand that these results will be leaked, BUT we have only just seen the SECOND episode, but why do people spoil it by letting this out. - maybe there is someone out there who knows what the lotto numbers for Wednesday.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Happy to see you've chilled a little Arthur but if you had already read the article in the papers what was the need for the rant in the first pace ? I'm just a little confussed. As for why do people post things and write things like this its simply because there is a demand for it. Personally I dont like to know whats comming in anything I watch but thats just my personal preference and we have to respect others prefrences to.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

i got it from the sun website, but they have took it off now so it was probably just a rumour, btw you didn't need to click on it to see who has who.

wow my first compaint :erm:

re: X Factor : 2009
 

To put the matter straight, l read the article in TWO papers, who was through to the final stages, l did not reveal WHO to this forum, as l did not want to spoil it for other people, this is why l contacted ChannelTv, As it unfair to the viewer, and they appreciated that l contacted them about it.

Then through this forum, it is revealed what the sections are, l get it via an email.

What l am saying it is unfair on the viewer to let them know the answer, before it gets aired.

It is like strictly come dancing, we all new that the result is made on a Saturday night, and then recorded for the Sunday, but then some bright spark reveals the answer on a forum.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

ok

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Dont take it personal Frankie. You did nothing wrong m8. You added the spoiler tags and nowere in the thread is it asked to be kept spoiler free. Some people just like to have a rant here and there ;)

re: X Factor : 2009
 

haha no im fine, i didn't know what else to put only ok :D

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Fully agree with you icestar

re: X Factor : 2009
 

To Icestar and everyone who keeps mentioning this damn spoiler thing, l DONT open if there is a spoiler attached, BUT l got an email, which when l opened it, gave the details so that is the end of the matter, l DON'T blame anyone for this,

re: X Factor : 2009
 

OH Arthur please read the facts before getting on with another Rant. I never said that you clicked the spoiler tags. I even explained about you getting it in an email so dont start your crap with me please. Matter closed if your happy.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

It seems the X Factor changes are not pleasing some.. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/xfactor/...e-changes.html
I have to admit, while I have never been a fan of the X factor/Pop Idol/Pop Stars/Britain's Got Talent style talent shows (they generally seem to pick those with the best sob stories or that are bland), I have to admit I *did* sometimes enjoy the early audition shows in those series, specifically with Ant and Dec subtly taking the mickey.

It seems a shame that Simon Cowell has seen fit to drop the only entertaining part of the show.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Icestar2, Matter closed, l am happy.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Yip definetly well over-reacting lol quite funny i think lol...

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Hi Stuart C. What did you think of the show tonight. I think its now gone downhill since the format was changed. I thought the best part was the couple who had broken up and got back together again. Thats bad when that was the only part I enjoyed

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Didn't watch it.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I predict good things for the teacher with the afro from last week and Lucy from this weeks show.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

And the 17yr old cant think of her name but she sang without any music background

re: X Factor : 2009
 

See that's where the problem is, Arthur reads the Star.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

I actually read The Mirror, Star, and The Sun and occasionally Daily Sport. l like to get a difference of opion, then if l see the same article in the TWO papers, then there is something of interest.

Do you like the format of this x factor

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Not that keen, it's just a money spinning exercise really, it was better when it was just the room with the judges.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Good day Ben and how are you today. I had an afternoon sleep and feel refereshed. They sure are making more money out of it this year. Did you get to see Sat nights show

re: X Factor : 2009
 

My wife's cousin is through to the house bit where they sing at the judges houses. Hope to hear soon how he got on.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

In what way are they making more money out of the auditions? Afaik, they were not charging an entrance fee for the auditions shows and no one has been asked to phone in yet. I may be missing something but apart from the BGT format change, I can't see how they are making money out it.

BTW, if you want free tickets to the Live shows, go here. Think I'll pass, myself ;)

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Has your wifes cousin been on yet at the audition and if not who is it so we can watch out for them. So as not to upset anyone again with spoilers will you pm me and let me know the name if you dont mind. Didn't know they would have got that far yet. The boot camp should be soon so

re: X Factor : 2009
 

November 17th :>

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Not while Simon Cowell is making money from it .

If he rows with Cheryl Cole, she may be gone, but the show will carry on.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Just to ad to Stuart CCFT comments, ITV make so much money out of this show, that the chances of this being the last show is very remote, and not only that l hear a rumour, that ITV want to sign SC and his production company on a long term basis, and also Cheryl Cole is being lined up to take control of the show, So that SC can concentrate on other shows like BGT etc.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

If Cheeyl Cole takes over then I will by saying bye bye to the show. Her bladder is to close to her eyes and there will be all the sob stories lineing up and being put through. As if there is not enough as it is now

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Ya I know and up for a laugh as well. Its so sad that not only did he lose his job but his marriage brokd up as well. Simon should have got a job for him as he was very good at his job and very loyal as well

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Hi Frankie thought loads of people would have had posted here tonight but obviously not. People must be gone of the new format or else just lost interest in x faxtor now

re: X Factor : 2009
 

The format for The X Factor, is to late to change now as next week there are two shows one on Saturday and one on Sunday.

But the new format is rubbish and on the same lines as BGT which ruins it, and to make matters worse, when the lines shows come in a couple of week when the live shows come on, as the winners won't be announced under the Sunday, and l would not like to be in the Sunday audience, as all you are going to get is the winners, and not an entire show, so the only people that are going to be winners are SC ITV with all the extra money coming in.

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Its gone boring and and very pridicitable now and its like so what. They should get rid of it now after this year or whenever the contract is up

re: X Factor : 2009
 

Ok here is what I thought of this evenings performances....

The judges are always going on about how the groups need to move on from what is reported in the papers and concentrate on their singing, not the gossip surrounding them. Yet what they don't realise is mentioning this live on the show just keeps the media interests current even more.
Sometimes the judges don't think.
Such as Danni tonight proposing to the whole nation that Danyl is gay. Isnt that his choice if he decides to come out and who is to say he is gay anyway. More media gossip spreading through the judges.

Now for the singing.... I think we saw good things from Danyl Johnson, Jamie Archer (He's going to be in the show for some time), Joe McElderry, Lucie Jones, and Stacey Solomon.

My predictions so far for acts making it to the top 3 this year.... Lucie Jones (Best voice in the competition in my opinion), Joe McElderry, and Danyl Johnson.
