I see this has started again! I must admit to love watching the audition programmes to see the truly awful people who are on it. Such Fun!! I record it and then whizz through the boring bits. Once they go to boot camp and the live shows, I'm not longer interested and don't watch. Am I alone in this guilty pleasure? blush

Marcus for me!

Frankie did himself a huge favour by getting himself thrown out of the competition. Sad to say, he was teetering along the rocky road to self destruction. Go back to school, Frankie. Get a real life!

Or maybe have a week with no eliminations?

Libradi Tue 08-Nov-11 16:39:39

Oh I wonder what they'll do now? Maybe they will bring back the Risk or Johnny?

YIPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! I`m tempted to use swear words here, but just remembered that I`m a lady, so will just sedately say how pleased I am that the `orrible little Frankie has been axed from X-Factor.

Libradi Mon 07-Nov-11 08:50:59

Can't understand how Frankie is staying in, he must have a huge army of little fans confused
I can take or leave Johnny, I think he will do well out of the show, even though he's out of the competition he is an entertainer although not someone I would go and see.
I'm still tapping my feet and singing along with Marcus grin.

I just don`t believe it! I was so sure that with 2 going out tonight the `orrible`little Frankie would definitely be in the final 3, but no, he`s gone straight through to next week! So sorry to see Johnny leave, he sang beautifully in the sing off tonight, and he has such a lovely personality.

Libradi Sun 06-Nov-11 08:41:00

I loved Marcus too last night, I couldn't stop smiling and jigging about all the way through the song smile

harrigran Sun 06-Nov-11 00:41:36

I think Marcus is amazing, he had my toes tapping tonight.

numberplease Sun 06-Nov-11 00:33:54

Marcus was far and away the best tonight, amazing the difference when he gets the right song. Nobody else stood out, except for Frankie, Mischa B and Little Mix for being the worst. I used to really love The Risk, but the new line up seems to have lost the magic.

I was disappointed that Sophie went last night, I think she has a very good voice, just not that popular for some reason. Surely Frankie must go next week? I keep saying I'm not going to watch but still end up viewing . Really enjoying Friday nights X factor USA on ITV 2 though, I know I keep harping on about it, but a much better night's entertainment.

numberplease Sun 30-Oct-11 21:29:03

So, horrible little Frankie lives to "sing"? another day. My bottom 2 this week were Frankie and Misha B, with Frankie taking my vote for going, but alas, he`s still there.

I`m losing interest now my favourite (Sami) has gone. She is a superb singer. The only one I really have any interest in at all now is Johnny.

Libradi Mon 24-Oct-11 12:49:20

I do like the boy group 'The Risk' although I didn't think much of them this week. Very disappointing this year though.

supernana Mon 24-Oct-11 10:58:13

Jonny for me! Frankie and Kitty give me the pip...

Notsogrand Mon 24-Oct-11 09:59:46

Annobel grin

No, but I can produce a mean shopping list!

Annobel Mon 24-Oct-11 09:26:00

You a scriptwriter, notso?

Notsogrand Sun 23-Oct-11 22:30:06

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'

numberplease Sun 23-Oct-11 21:19:18

Really disappointed at tonight`s result.

Hattie64 Sun 23-Oct-11 19:12:13

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!!!

Annobel Sun 23-Oct-11 18:12:31

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.

em Sun 23-Oct-11 17:40:41

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.

glammanana Sun 23-Oct-11 17:09:54

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.

Notsogrand Sun 23-Oct-11 17:07:50

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

numberplease Sun 23-Oct-11 16:54:35

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.
