It was brought up, but Simon then grudgingly let her through, only to then realise it was the wrong decision. Idon't think he was out of order at all.

And what the hell was up with her teeth?! I've never seen anything like it lol. Her boyfriend's weren't much better either; not much luck for the baby!

I didnt know it was brought up originally, oops.

I might start watching X Factor this Saturday now the final 12 have been revealed.
Havent bothered with the auditions much, boot camp etc.
Seems there are both "male" and "female" categories this year - 14-24, groups, 25 and over etc.

Good luck, it's not on this Saturday

(the following Saturday). ITV decided to show some crud Rugby match instead. The Xtra Factor is on ITV2 though.

I've watched most of the episodes so far (unusual for me). I cannot believe Danni didn't pick that little black boy, he was the best she had. That Rydian dude is REALLY annoying. I doubt he'll win.

CeCe being thrown off one of the girl groups for having a criminal record was a shock. You can read why here:

And here, including controversy from some ex-contestants of mass orgies (yeah right):

Is Rydian the one who keeps falling over and is being compared to Chico?

I didnt know it wasnt on, oops.

I've not heard that comparison before. Rydian is the blonde won who sings with an opera voice, he has a massive ego.

Oops.
I'm sure there was one guy on the show who they said was a bit like Chico (saw a clip last week). Don't know if he's still there though.

Osbourne walks out of X Factor:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7055124.stm

Like she won't be back, she still has two acts to support. Alisha Bennett is hot! I love big afro(esque) hair.

Kimberley had a nice personality but there was no way she was going to win. I still cannot believe Danni sent home that little black boy, he was the best she had. I didn't watch last years so don't know how she was at the start but none of them this year come close to being as good as Leona. Not that I'm a fan of her outside of the show though.

Of course what will happen is whoever wins will have a number 1 single then disappear without trace. Not even Leona who is arguably the best winner in years can manage a successful second single.

I think they should bring back Popstars the Rivals. That was a good show and gave us Girls Aloud. Who're by far the best of all the acts to come out of the show. They and Will Young are the only two who don't sound like "singing contest winners", and can stand on their own two feet.

I missed this weeks.

Walsh's X Factor house 'not his' -

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7040283.stm

A spokeswoman for the show said: "The contestants are invited to a house. We call them the judges' houses, not the judges' homes.

But they're not even the judges houses. They're rented!

Obviously they were implying the houses belonged to the judges. Danni even had a photo of one of the ex-contestants by her bed, whether it was real she didn't say.

I don't. Reminds me of Jim Kelly. I saw her perform once and (looks wise) she's nothing special.

I haven't been watching the series but my Mum had it on this afternoon.

I saw the bottom two acts and they both should've been sent home for stinking.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Oct 2007, 16:39

LOL I thought of Joan Armatrading or Jim Kelly

I only saw the bottom two acts, Kimberley was fun, but it was like something you'd get on a cheesy cruise ship IMO

I didn't like Leona's song. She sounded like a cross between Mariah and Whitney ca. 1994-1997. Totally unoriginal of course. And what's happened to her implants?

Jim Kelly WTF!

Afros on gorgeous black women look hot.

I don't think any of them are particularly good singers, it's a particularly weak year. To be fair it is the first week of the Live shows. The groups are probably the best, it's not as if they need individual good singers.

Leona has had a boob job???

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Oct 2007, 16:51

She looked like she had

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 21 Oct 2007, 17:20

Any pics?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Oct 2007, 20:14

Not sure - as such. The video of the show is probably on Youtube or whatever.

The current crop of finalists are among the worst yet, and soooooo lacking the X factor. Andy's eyebrows are also not his own, but a parasitical alien lifeform that has attached itself to his forehead. The only really good singer on there is Niki, but she is a bit too old to be a success if she won (a la Steve Brookstein). I also like Riddian now, but wasn't keen on him before. Mainly, because he is the least boring performer on the show. He makes me laugh. Also, I really like Leona's new song, so don't be dissing it!

Errr...Leona will have a 2nd successful single with Bleeding Love. I think it's a great song. And she has a great voice.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 22 Oct 2007, 15:22

Heard Leona's song this morning... did nothing for me.

I think she can sing but she needs better material and has yet to find her own voice.

She needs to get away from Simon Cowl for starters.

I agree Mr. Mark

Couldn't have put it better.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Oct 2007, 16:11

Agreed Nikki is decent but considering Cowell is all about the teeny bopper market there's no way he's really interested in older singers. The market is probably harder to get into too.

I think that little black girl is good. I forget her name.

Correct my mistake. It took long enough though. I doubt she'll be a national success like Will Young though.

I think the girl with the afro's name is Alicia (sp?), or do you mean another girl?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Oct 2007, 16:17

It is I already said her name

There is another black person whose 14. Alicia isn't a little girl.

Sorry Brad, I'm not sure.
