The articles, videos etc stretch the pages Moomin it's if they're really big. Best thing to do is to shrink them down then they take up less space.

you did it Darlo!!
Well done

What's the attraction with Stacey Soloman?

Is she not driving people up the wall with her irritating personality?

And why is her sister giving an interview to every gossip mag this week?

She can actually sing, which is what the competition is meant to be about - I just happen to like her too.
The twins on the other hand, cannot sing and irritate the hell out of me - everyone has different opinions.
This wouldn't be much of a thread if we all liked and disliked the same ones, would it?

There's no doubt she can sing Moomin - I'm not disputing that.

I'm referring to the gossip articles where all the young lads are apparantly after her.

Then again, I'm sure her over the top personality is just for the cameras.

And I find it odd that her sister is everywhere selling her story

I'm a bit puzzled by that - Stacey isn't exactly attractive  

Darlo & Moomin thanks for getting the page back to normal.

Well, looks wise she isn't bad and everyone has their own idea of attractiveness anyway.

What I was referring to was her grating personality.

Still, as I said, I think she can turn it off and on when she wants to...

I have to agree about Stacey Soloman Miss S. She seems a nice girl and she can definetly sing but I find her very irritating and annoying also.


Lucie Jones is my favourite out of the girls, lovely girl, like her voice she's a bit quiet but I bet she's more lively when she's at the house as I have read she is a party animal according to her friends in Wales.


Still last years girls were better with Alexandra Burke, Diana Vickers and Laura White.

Cheryl Cole to get her own TV show?

November 1st, 2009 by Lisa McGarry.

X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has reportedly impressed ITV bosses so much, that they are planning to offer the singer her very own TV show.

Cheryl has become the nation’s sweetheart since joining the X factor judging panel in 2008. ITV bosses have seen an opportunity to cash in on this and are reportedly planning to premiere a chat show hosted by Cheryl in early December.

An ITV source told The Sunday Mirror: “Cheryl is the name on everyone’s lips and TV bosses have been clamouring to sign her up for months. X Factor ratings have gone through the roof since she joined and prove viewers love her. The plan is to get her into the studio for her own show to see how she handles it, then find the right format to turn Cheryl into queen of the small screen.”

My Favourites are Stacey, Lucie & Rachel in that order, never rate fellers, leave that to the girls to do.

Hi all.
 

Rrrrrright ! I'm back to air my likes and dislike about all things X Factor!  

For a start,  Ceryl.   Don't like her. She's overrated. Don't see why she's liked or popular.  (But then again, even Kerry Katona and Katie Price were once loved and popular.  Okay, so
* What bugs her about Danyl so much?!
* What the hell was she wearing last night?! pmsl 

* Why is she getting so cocky? Is it because her song hit the charts? (crap song).
* ... There's more but can't think right now. 



!!! Jedward. WHY?!  
If they leave tonight, I win some cash. 



I'm backing Danyl. I've missed all the bad press on him so if anyone has any links of reason why he's hated so much, would like to see for myself. Don't think he's arrogant, just confident and talented.


Jamie Afro, Lucie.
Stacy, good voice but when she speaks, wtf..?!  

15 10 - welcome to the thread - and glad you're a Danyl fan - there's not many of us about...

Hope you win your money tonight with the twins going, too!!

Harsh criticism for X Factor twins John and Edward

Saturday, October 31, 2009

The contestants rocked out in Saturday's episode of The X Factor covering songs by bands including U2, Guns 'N' Roses and Aerosmith.

First up and a firm favourite with the judges was Joe McElderry.

His performance of Don't Stop Believing by Journey was praised by Dannii Minogue who said he was "an absolute star" and Louis Walsh who told him he expected to see him in the final.

 

Less popular were unlikely X Factor favourites the Grimes twins.

John and Edward, who have built up a huge following on the back of their chaotic performances, were criticised by Simon Cowell even before they took to the stage. He said: "It goes beyond nightmares because a nightmare you can wake up from."

The pair, wearing matching leather coats, ventured into rap at one stage in their performance of Queen's We Will Rock You.

Dannii said their performance was "scary", adding: "I do look forward to seeing you every week but I'm not sure I'd look forward to hearing you on the radio."

They were defended by their mentor, Louis, but the harshest criticism came from Simon. He said: "It was night of the living dead, singing Queen out of tune, possibly destroying Queen's career for ever."

Louis and Simon continued their trademark sniping throughout the show with the Irishman dubbing contestant Jamie Archer "a Lenny Kravitz impersonator". He said his version of Primal Scream's Rocks was like a pub singer's performance, prompting Simon to ask him: "When did you last go into a pub?".

Danyl Johnson also struggled to impress the judges and his laid-back version of I Don't Want To Miss A Thing was criticised. Dannii told him he had lost his "mojo" but Simon leapt to his defence. One of the acts will be axed from the show on Sunday night after the public vote.

Hi there 15:10 ooh another Danyl fan thats just the two of us on here. I really hope he has another chance. Who knows your bet might turn out right tonight.


If I was you I would Google it and all the press articles come up, try DS and read their threads about Danyl.

Hi 15:10.
I see you don't like Cheryl, you probably aren't on your own.

Jedward are likeable but not as a singing act.

Danyl, I take it you like him. he is a good singer, just can't take to him myself.
But of course you are entitled to back whoever you want.
But it doesn't look like the public in general are going to back him.

Thanks Moomin.


Hi DB!

Danyl eh, Alrrright!


Don't understand the bad press on him but still think he can win if things turnaround for him. Don't help when Ceryl keeps having digs. All I've seen is that he's arrogant. Will try DS.


Yeah hope so...Fingers crossed about the twins.


Hi Hicky

Danyl looked so sorry for himself - shake yourself down man, he looked pitiful
That behaviour aint gonna help you
The people who say these terrible things are idiots who don't even know him - so shrug it off if you wanna be a star

Everytime i see Cheryl the same phrase goes through my head (no idea why)


"Canna touch ya face like am Jesus"


I think its becos she's becoming a little more precious everytime she's on screen (still love her though)

I do like them and hope they stay.  I can't stand Cheryl either but I do really like Dannii.


Renton i've got him on Twitter and he said he feels better. I do agree though he needs to toughen up and not feel sorry for himself and ignore the criticism.

Friedman: 'Twins don't deserve to win'

Sunday, November 1 2009, 16:16 GMT

By Catriona Wightman

X Factor choreographer Brian Friedman has compared listening to John & Edward to "entering the gates of hell".

In an interview with the News of the World, Friedman claimed that if the twins won it would make a "mockery" of the show.

"They don't deserve to win," he said. "I have one word to describe listening to John and Edward's singing - painful. When I think of the twins I think, 'I need paracetamol'. They are such a handful. It would be bad for The X Factor if they won. It's a singing contest, and while they can sort of dance, they are the worst singers."

Friedman explained that working with the brothers is difficult because they lack concentration.

"They live on Planet Jedward," he said. "They're so hyperactive it's hard for them to focus. I'm constantly having to 'shush' them. I've had to assign them each an assistant to keep them on track - like they're little kids.

"The worst is when we are doing group rehearsals. I'll be saying, 'Lucie, you do this, Olly, you're here'... and then I go to tell John and Edward what to do and they are off talking to the girl dancers in the corner."

Friedman added that he hoped viewers would stop supporting the twins, saying: "I don't know what the public are voting for. I hope viewers got the wake-up call they needed with Danyl and Miss Frank being bottom two last week - they have to get voting for people who can sing.

"John and Edward's singing is basically unbearable. Every week I listen to their track for the first time and it's like entering the gates of hell. By the time they get on stage they can pull it off because there is loud music, dancing and backing vocals."

However, Friedman did praise the twins' personalities, describing them as "kind, lovable young men" who are "fun to watch" and would make good television presenters.

"You've got to hand it to them," he added. "They've taken everything in their stride and they're living the popstar dream."

Hi Darlo . . . yup he has every right to feel hard done to - i think he deserves to do well, he sings really good and the comments are evil but . . .
However this might just be a taste of fame if he goes on to do well.
he gota toughen up - AND THIS IS WHERE THE JUDGES NEED TO SUPPORT HIM


Loving LUCIE - i  may even place a bet on her

Friedman is so two faced. He praised Jedward before saying he loved working with them and choreographing their routines, but how uncomfortable must they be feeling having to go into rehearsals with him next week if they get through tonight knowing he might have slagged them off to the press.

I did think he was rinsing the hurt look but I understand where it's coming from. Most hated then hitler?!

So mean of him

I know Fairfax. I do check out the DS forums as they do have lots of gossip one of their fans actually works for the show so i've been reading their posts a lot in the Jedward appreciation thread on there.

Don't even think Jedward belive they can win. Must be in it for the exerience, and why not. If they leave tonight, *kerching* if not, there's always next time.


I'm with you on Danni, DB.

Lucie could win it Renton.

Beeen down to Mater and Pater's today. We managed to get a look at the tabloids. Isn't it turtelly amazing how newsworthy the contestants  are? There's lots going on with all of 'em. What full lives they lead and still rooom for a few gratuitous previous contestant articles.

Jedward are taking the piss and having fun, they will get something out of X-Factor if they win or not so they've got nothing to lose. I've watched a lot of their videos and they're really nice and are as charismatic in them plus they're popular with the other contestants.

I'm liking Lucie and Jamie also.

cole in tears due to jealous ashley


The poor ''nations sweetheart'', if true Cashley is a nob anyway.

Yay, couldn't agree more.

Ghost haunts X-Factor studios...

Danyl: 'I can still win 'The X Factor'

Sunday, November 1 2009, 18:56 GMT

By Catriona Wightman

X Factor hopeful Danyl Johnson has claimed that being in the bottom two last week didn't affect him.

Johnson ended up in the sing-off with Miss Frank last week, but was saved when it was announced that the girlband had received fewer public votes.

Speaking to The People, the teacher insisted that the experience had made him stronger.

"I'm not bothered," he said. "It won't stop me from winning the show. I'm fine, I will be fine in the coming weeks and it hasn't affected my confidence whatsoever. It was a bit of a shock to me but I got through it and it has made me stronger."

Johnson also praised his mentor Simon Cowell for supporting him.

"Simon knows talent when he sees it and hopefully he can make me into a star," he said. "Having him behind me has given me a huge advantage. Simon was shocked when I was in the bottom two - he didn't think I should have been.

"I have been working this week the same as I have been every other week and I'm looking forward to getting back on the stage for another chance."

On last night's show, judge Dannii Minogue claimed that Johnson had "lost his mojo", while Cheryl Cole said that it was apparent that he had suffered a "massive dent to his confidence".

The X Factor results show is on tonight at 8pm on ITV1.

Meanwhile in the real world....... Hoping to say "Tra well!" to Stacey, Lloyd, or the baldy knapper.

Stacey won't go!

I certainly hope not.

Music at the moment is downhill with Saint Cheryl at number 1. Hopefully it won't be long till someone knocks her off her perch.
