I think the judges have taken leave of their hearing at times tonight, and why do they always come up with such awful songs? or am I just in a bad mood ;-)

He's not the first and won't be the last,

Probably a better actor than a singer, seeing the replay. ;-)

In the newspaper (if you can call it that ) today it is reported that Chris Maloney ,the guy with a good voice and a bad attack of nerves was previously a singer on a Cruise ship in 2000.

If it's to believed then he was a good actor as well as a good singer. ;-)

Take the X Factor as it is ,light entertainment for most viewers or switch off if you don't like it.

He's had it with me now, I dont like the sob story business and I am not dening he had good vocals, it was all the poor.com.me crap I cant be doing with, sooooo staged and personally I wouldnt of put him through if he was that nervious what will he like on the live shows which by the way he will be on for the film crew to been and filmed him at home sat at his Nans feet ** yawn** its a sad sorry state of affairs when you have to depend on tugging the publics heart strings rather than just use his talent to get votes...his card is well and truely marked with me ** wags finger** :-|

I don't watch much tv, definitely NOT talent shows.

But I sometimes get onto YouTube & look at X-Factor (Aussie, UK & USA). I quickly click off the awful ones. I don't enjoy watching people that make me cringe. But have found a few acts that I enjoy.

Did you see the young man in the too small suit ~ Jarmain Douglas? I think I spelled his first name wrong. He sang "At Last" ~ what a voice!

Afternoon Everybody

We watched it last night up until 8.30, before turning over for George Gently.
A young girl was on singing (with large fuzzy hair), and boy oh boy, for us, she was the best act yet. Leona Lewis said that the show needed a diva, and that she was the one.
For us, no truer word has ever been spoken.
Made a difference to the lunatic young man that was the first act on.

Anyway. next Saturday 6.30 Strickly is back on the BBC, so move over X Factor. Already buffing up me sequins, and limbering up the muscles.LOLOL

Aww he was'nt acting surely not, he was genuinely shaking. Voice was amazing, its sad they have to do the sob story/video though, much better if they just got on stage and said abit about his background/story and then sang!! Lovely that his Nan came on stage:)) But for some the video bit is what gets peeps to watch!!

Love it:)) l've set telly to record every one now:)

Hayley,
The guy to whom I think you were referring,who brought his nan on the stage his hands were visibly shaking during his performance...good actor? or good singer.?
or both!
I think he was an excellent yet apparent nervous singer.

I don't always watch the the programme and have only seen BB for a nano second when switching channels..that's far too long!

l love Xfactor, all of it, EXCEPT when they do a big build up from their homes etc, no need!!! To me that means they know they are going to be good or bad. How do they decide who to use for that?? Why can't they just do it as it was in the beginning or almost!!
Yep l love the auditions, even though l often think "what the bloody hell are they on there for".

The guy at the end was amazing, can't remember his name now, but bloody good anyways:)

Mel B..l'm liking her more now, but Geri Haliwell.....nope don't like her as a judge, silly competition with Gary, for goodness sake grow up both of them!!
Pleased to see she's not going out with Russell whatsits now...phewwww...lol

I usually watch it but was away yesterday. I do prefer it when it gets to the live shows though and most of the acts are reasonably watchable.

I missed it as we were at a family BBQ. The younger family memebers were sat watching it and I popped in and saw the bit with Gerry Halliwell. I thought she had not aged very well either Rose. Its a real eye opener when you see these stars without the make up and air brushed look :0)

I shall be watching George tonight. I have never seen it before until last week. Im only sorry that I had not watched the series when it was on before.

I quite like the X Factor show when it is the actual competition but can't stand the auditions, OH likes the auditions and liked the orange faced man who if his nerves are so bad won't cope with the proper shows.

I didn't realise that Mel B did the Talent show but I have the winners cd, he, Adam Watkiss, only made the one but I believe he did some musicals after he won the show.

Can't stand MelB, don't think she will add anything to the programme and/or regain the number of people watching.
