Cmon you know you wanna.
Think the standard is actually not too bad this year although I can't be arsed with the big voice theatrics crap that Sami and Craig have pulled.*yawn*
Liked Misha B, probably the only one so far who really kicked some arse and looked quite talented.
The groups actually look a lot better this year, for the first time ever I think.

I love Craig. Marcus is a bit dull. Johnny should have gone, really. Misha is brilliant...

Louis Walsh needs to go next season. I get he wants to pick the 'most entertaining' acts but he does this every single year. All the other judges make their choices based on, you know, the ability to sing and stuff. Louis bases his on how much of an annoying twat they are. I can't believe he initially picked Goldie. And poor Jonjo was ROBBED. What a turkey of a song they gave him, I know he said he picked it himself but if that's the case it should've been up to Louis to talk him out of it. Obviously he'd already picked his gimmicky 3 and was more than happy for Jonjo to shoot himself in the foot. He was my favourite as well. Grr. It really pisses me off.
Janet's going to walk it I reckon, she's starting to get on my Vickers a bit already though, must say.

Janet may go earlier than you think. I've already heard lots of mutterings about how she's not very versatile.
I think the styling is knobbling most of them. James looked SO much cuter when he first auditioned and Amelia looked ridiculous with pink hair.

She was but the girls' category was REALLY tough.

Misha is the most talented I think. I predicted all the exiters except Sophie, not because I thought Amelia was better than her because she was out of tune quite a bit, but because they judges were all over her like a wet shite after her performance.
Jonny God love him but there's no future for him really is there? Only viable ones really are Misha, Rhythmix and possibly The Risk, but do we really need another boy band. Nice to see a non-anorexic looking girl getting into a girl band (Jessie from Rhythmix) you go girl!

Was so funny because in every other judges' catergory you're thinking "they've got a bit of a tough choice" but with Louis' you were thinking "yep there are at least 2 who I could pick from there quite easily".
Picking Goldie over Sami in the judge's house rounds was just shameful and picking Jonny over anyone else was just pure mental.

I like Misha B and Craig. I hate Frankie with every fiber of my being and think Sophie should have gone home.

Agree with the Frankie and Misha B comments. Don't think Marcus will last too long. Gets way too nervous, and sang flat as a pancake on Saturday. It didn't help him being the last one announced as through as well, looked as though about to go into meltdown. Kitty sang really well but she loks a right handful and won't get much public support. And as for Johnnny, well......

It does seem like Misha is the only one with genuine recording artist talent I think. Her voice really seems to suit the live shows and she's kind of interesting and seems to have buckets of confidence when she gets up on stage.
The others who have strong voices such as Sami have that awful cliche trilling on a note for 5 minuteswhilst looking like they're about to break down in tears every time they finish a song, and look like they don't believe they should be there. It's the whole big girl with big personality overcoming adversity and stereotyopes to sing on X Factor thing and we had that with Mary last year and Mary had a lot more charisma and a far better voice.
Marcus was alright the first show but yes he doessn't look all that convinced that she should be there.
I thought I would loathe Kitty but at least she's making an effort and getting up and mixing it up a bit. It's hilarious every time Rob sees her on screen he's like "oh god it's that Kitty one again" then stands there and watches her entire performance lol. I'm convinced he has an anti crush on her. (He's convinced I have an anti crush on Joey Barton so swings and roundabouts)
I quite like Rythmix, they look like they're actually having a bit of a laugh.
Janet Devlin - she's sweet and nice, probably the wrong show for her as she seems to have some talent.
Sophie Habibis, utterly forgettable.

Frankie out, Amelia in, Kitty out, ratings falling.
Is Craig's smugness annoying anyone else?

I don't think he's smug at all?

I'm glad Amelia is back, she should have been in instead of... forgotten her name already... anyway. Bit sad Jonjo never got another chance though but only 'cause he was a bit fit.
Kitty was a character. All the characters go early though, that's the way it works. So eventually all you have left is the bland pop fodder. They all bore the tits off me now. Craig or Janet will probably win, release one single which will moderately flop, then vanish into obscurity.
The American one is interesting, I love both the young ones on that, Astro and the wee soulful black girl, she's incredible. Unbelievable they're both only 14.

I don't think he's smug at all? Must just be me then Yeah I think Amelia's one of the more likeable girls. Although saying that both Kitty and Misha have great voices and I liked their performances over Janet Devlin as the show suits them more vocally. Think Amelia may have the likeablility factor and the voice factor so it could be interesting to see how she gets on next week. Think she's favourite now.....

Kitty and Misha sang their socks off. It was the first time I actually thought they matched the US contestants in terms of quality.

Kitty is awful when she's singing softly, or trying to use her 'head voice' - it's just too nasal. When she goes up into her higher registers though, she's great. Misha shoud never have been bottom 2, although there is an argument for the case that she doesn't need this competition. There's not much they can teach her that she doesn't already know. I'd go so far as to say she's ALREADY a star, just based on her stage presence, confidence and attitude.

Definitely agree with Sean about Kitty's voice. Upper register much stronger.

Post by tc on Nov 16, 2011 21:56:52 GMT -1
See, I TOTALLY disagree. I think she goes a bit sharp and screechy when she goes up but when she sings super soft, she's very controlled and pure.

Bit relieved to see Craig go.
I'm liking Marcus more and more He's not groundbreaking or outstanding but he's quite likeable. Think he might be a surprise candidate to be in the running (final 3?)
Thought LittleMix were great. I just don't get Janet Devlin really.

I can't bear Janet now, she's like a singing bush of annoying hair. they've got a similar breathy namby pamby one on the American x factor called Drew who I also cannot abide.
I no longer really care. Was never a fan of Craig's voice though, that thick throaty tone he had on him did nowt for me. I think Johnny should've won. Or they should bring Goldie back and have her shoot ping pong balls out of her vag into the audience.

Haha I thought I'd be sadder to see Craig go as I loved him in the beginning at judges houses etc but he was let down by Gary's old man song choices in the last few weeks. Give Tulisa her due, her acts always performed current stuff. Love Little Mix and Amelia does have a great voice. I like Marcus as a person but the music leaves me cold.

Sooner that Janet goes the better, but apparently she pools about 25% each week. What are people thinking!!!
Got to be 2 girls in bottom 3 this week. I feel Misha B could be out the door if in bottom two.

She just looks scared, out of her depth and her voice just grates. It reminds me too much of Dolores O Riordan and I loooooooooathe her. Janet that is

Well there was no way they could save her after that performance on Saturday. You have to learn two, yes TWO songs in one week and you manage to forget the words to one of them for the second time in the series....bye bye....

Quite a diabolical song choice too. Fair enough if she'd established herself as being popular with the viewers then you could see why she'd want to take a risk and turn it all on its head but singing a very annoying Hanson song very badly is not a way to ingratiate yourself with the public really.

She claimed that she stopped because she felt like she was about to throw up mid song but none of the judges seem to hear her saying that.

So how do we all feel about the result? And the choice of song? Definitely not sure about that :/
