X Factor

I thought 'The Twist' for this year was unnecessarily cruel to the contestants. It's all very well for them to be subjected to the public's vote, but for them to be chosen for the live shows and then publicly dumped by their mentor is I think, a step too far. Having said that though, I think some good choices were made. Just wish that Gary had axed cocky little Frankie!!

I can't believe they put Goldie through!...And that's just one I can name!..I see they got rid of 2 good singers from the girls camp as well

I think Goldie removed herself from the programme, fearing she would be ridiculed - sensible move! I hope I am remembering the right person (oriental girl).
I am still liking Janet, and I thought Craig sang 'Jar of Hearts', one of my favourite songs, beautifully.

When I look at Frankie it seems to me that he has been locked in a wind tunnel, the mum (and nanny) in me wants to give his hair a dam good brush

After tonight, my best 3, in order, Sami, The Risk, and Janet.
My worst 3, from bottom up, Frankie, Mischa and Kitty.
The rest are in between, but why, oh why, whenever Louie has anm act that`s a bit "different", does he go all out yto make them look ridiculous? Johnny is the act in question, he has a nice voice, and a lovely personality, but Louie just makes him look stupid.

I was disappointed in the acts last night, I did like the boy band 'The Risk', I like Sophie, thinks she's got a great voice but she's very 'wooden' hopefully they will all get more confident as the weeks go on. Sami has a great voice too and comes across as very confident. I like Mischa, (love the drama) I want to like Janet because she looks so sweet and does have a lovely voice but I wouldn't want to listen to a whole album of her.

I'm afraid Johnny really irritates me.

Anyone else watching X factor USA? Much better (in my opinion) than our version).

Horrible little Frankie lives to fight another day. I can`t abide him, but must admit that Nu-Vibe`s performance tonight was terrible, but then again I think there was a chance that they`d improve with time, but we`ll never know now.

Wrong one voted off again

I wonder how many of us mums and grans are dying to cut, wash and comb Frankie`s hair? All he did last night was SCRATCH!

It crossed my mind to be grateful I'm not his granny!

Wish that he wouldn't appear to be in desperate need of a wee!

I have a confession to make. Ahem (clearing throat smiley): I have never ever watched X Factor. Am I sane or just plain sad?

Probably sensible Gally, I do my share of moaning, but always end up watching!

Gally. Neither have I. It does not interest me. That is why I usually don't read this thread either, but your talk of confession caught my eye. I thought it might be something scandalous (if it was real)

Anyone still watching?

ME! Last night I thought, as usual, that Sami was by far the best, although nobody outside our house seems to agree with me. I also love Johnny. OK, he may not fit the image of a pop star, but he can sing, and has a great personality. Janet was a disappointment, and I still can`t stand Frankie, Kitty, or Mischa B.

I dont like those 3 either number. Fingers crossed Frankie will go tonight.

Me this afternoon watched on iplayer,cannot understand the performance of Frankie what a Diva he is,he's got a good chance like this to make a name for himself and is messing about on night's out with friend's stupid boy.To be honest no one is shining at all this year but like Jonny for the entertainment value.

I realise that this is probably a daft thing to say but on the few occasions I've switched over for a few minutes, I've never heard songs I recognise. Unfair I agree as I haven't watched a whole show so maybe have missed lots of favourites but it doesn't tempt me at all.

I have watched bits of it occasionally and I assure you, em that even if they sang one of your favourites, you probably wouldn't recognise it.

Recorded it and watched this morning. Johnny is my favourite, thats it really,nobody else. I gather they are losing viewers, about 2 million to date. No surprise there then. My daughter said today that none of the family, which includes my two grandchildren, can now be bothered to watch. Usually the kids have enjoyed it. So must be just us Grannies then!!!

Really disappointed at tonight`s result.

So Frankie's still in. Cue the following soundbites....

'I've learned my lesson. I'm now taking this seriously. I'll work 24/7 to prove to Gary that he can trust me'

'I've always believed in Frankie'

You a scriptwriter, notso?

Annobel

No, but I can produce a mean shopping list!
