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

X factor just dosen't have the appeal that it has had in previous years, for me at least. It may be because S C is missing or that the format is getting boring. I think that one of the boys will win. Wasn't Lady GaGa gaga last night?!!!

harrigran I owe you an apology. I failed to note that your question regarding an "eating matter" was not addressed to we GN but to an expert. Do hope that all will be resolved. smile

My best 3 tonight, in order, Marcus, Janet and Little Mix. Out of the other 3, I don`t mind which are the last 2.

At least one of the 3 I didn`t like has gone. Craig absolutely murdered that lovely song that I remember fondly from my teenage years.

number so many good songs he could have chosen and he goes and made a mess of that one, I think maybe Janet may come into her own and pull back some votes if she keeps to the style she is good at.

Well, the only two performances I liked tonight were Amelia Lily`s rendering of China in my Hand, and Marcus`s second song, the Stevie Wonder one. Nothing else did anything for me, I`m afraid. Janet was terrible. A rather mediocre week, all in all.

I'm really bored now with Janet but think her quirky speaking voice is quite attractive. Anyone else think she's the voiceover on the new Car Warehouse ad?
At least I recognised quite a few of the songs yesterday. There have been weeks where I don't know a single one!

Well what I thought about Janet last week went down the pan !!! she was so nervous this week and may loose her place in tonights results,Marcus or Amelia Lily look good for the final.

Despite the fact that I can`t abide Misha B, and can`t wait to see the back of her, I think the right person went tonight.

Thank goodness! At last, Misha B has gone. I`d like either Marcus or Little Mix to win next week, with my main hopes being on Marcus.

Notsogrand Sun 04-Dec-11 21:59:37

I'd like Marcus to win too number.

Was it just me or my TV, but did few of the acts hit a few wrong notes tonight.

supernana Mon 05-Dec-11 13:29:42

Marcus for me - he has a good voice, a pleasant manner, an engaging smile and I'd love to cuddle him grin

Well, going off all their first songs, nobody impressed me at all. But I did like Marcus`s duet with Gary, and Amelia`s with Kelly. I`m pleased that Marcus is through to tomorrow night, I wasn`t bothered out of the other two.

Wrong again with prediction this year better luck next time,but I was surprised how good Little Mix where in this last show they seemed to pull everything together nicely.
