I do love breaking the rules tho.

  
 uncanny

God - how pants is Connie Haq Hic Huq (sp)? More wooden than a yard full of timber.  I've never seen her do Xtra Factor until tonight. Is her autocue also telling her when to inject some fake jollity into what she's saying? Very weird presenting style.......
And WTF is Danni wearing tonight She usually out-dresses Chezza right off the radar.  Final question - why am I even watching this garbage 

While I'm here I might as well say that (IMO) the only two who have vocal credibility and potential are Rebecca and Matt. I think Paige is quite cute and as eager as a Labrador puppy, but I can't see him progressing much beyond the final six. And that Aiden one is too self-indulgent and precious. The rest of them are instantly forgettable.

Haven't you lot gone to bed yet?


Z.

Thought Matt and Rebecca were fantastic tonight. I'm still one of the minority who like Aidan, Katie and Cher, but all were a bit of  a disappointment tonight. I like the boys in a kinda, it's fun to dance around to them with the kids way. The rest not worth mentioning imo.  It really is time for Mary and Wagner to go home.

Oh and BTW, they need to sack the hairdresser!

That "stylist" urgently needs some new glasses  Hasn't she heard of D&G?

Terrible wasn't it. She usually looks great.....Think it may have been a Victoria Beckham number?

It's horrendous, Supes.  And that Connie isn't presenting any better either. I keep waiting for a breakthrough

So does Cowell ,did you see his

Yep But I quite liked his - looked like understated Cartier. 
At least his specs don't make him look like Mister Magoo

Oh, and who the hell thought that it was a good idea to put Mary in this?

Cheryl being blasted by Louis and her girls.
I give up !!! why does this happen when I post.

Keep it there!   

I wasn't blown over by anyone tonight.

My fave was Matt, although I've enjoyed other of his performances more than tonights if I'm honest ...but he's totally original and that's what I always love about him

Then Rebecca ... then Payje.

Nothing else in there tonight for me

I agree with Simon once again. Treyc is missing that spark .... A really good vocal, but just lacks that little extra spark that makes you feel "wowed".

That Faith Hill song was way too big for Mary .... I've seen better from 1 Direction .... And how can you compare Cher to Alicia Keys ?

Wagner is an utter joke by this point ... he should be long gone

Nowt much else to say really ... a pretty average week all in all imo

and once you've heard  George Michael perform First Time ... nothing else compares,  I'm afraid

*Cheryl faced an angry ­confrontation from her girls after she returned on Friday. She had been texting Cher Lloyd, 17, and the others had been upset by that.*

I wonder who chez's fave is ?

Voice of the future

I will predict a: 'Matt Cardle -  Rebecca Fergusson - One Direction' final

I'd be happy with that final line-up, Dolly - as long as Matt wins.

I love Matt and Aiden if he is given the right song

Wagner dreadful as usual and Mary was awful last night they should be the botton two in my opinion with Wagner out ...please

I liked One Direction last night too

watched the first 30 seconds of the show.. felt sick watching chav cher & turned off

Theme next week ...Boy Bands.

Cheryl Cole has reportedly reprimanded Cher Lloyd for breaking an X Factor alcohol ban.

The 'Promise This' singer, who is believed to have told all of her acts to curb their drinking habits, allegedly confronted Lloyd after discovering that the teenage star had been hoarding bottles of booze.

An X Factor insider told the Daily Mail: "Cheryl was told Cher was holding a drink at a Tinie Tempah gig and has been sneaking vodka into her room. She hit the roof and told Cher - who is 17 - that she's not as grown-up as she thinks she is.

"Cheryl is incredibly strict when it comes to drinking. It used to cause a lot of tension within Girls Aloud."

Lloyd apparently fled the X Factor house earlier this week after fellow contestants attacked her for becoming "too arrogant and big for her boots".

Did she flee to the nearest bus stop with a bottle of white lightning?

Both Matt and Rebecca gave me shivers down my spine last night - they are a class above the rest IMO - I also like two of the less popular ones - Aiden and Katie, and Paije was good too.
However, I think it will be Wagner, Katie or Mary in the bottom 3 tonight. Surely Wagner can't survive for much longer?

Wagner is a nice bloke but a bleeding awful singer and it's a bad joke that he is still there: a very bad joke!  But of course he won't be in the bottom two because some of the Great British Public have a sick sense of humour.

And there is no way that Mary will be in the bottom two, because she has the sympathy vote:  An ordinary woman from an ordinary background who works in Tesco (in case you didn't know.., although funnily enough they haven't mentioned that for a couple of weeks LOL!) and she is frankly a bit of a munter, (let's be honest here; she ain't no Kylie.)  So she is getting the sympathy vote, but she is nothing but a half decent hotel singer/karaoke singer. 

And the 'I am missing my daughter, sob sob' scenario was pretty lame.  she needs to get a grip...and this proves that she - along with most of the rest, will never be able to cut it as a professional singer/performer/famous person.  We take the piss out of people like Britney and Madonna and suchlike, and yes they are lucky to be in the position they are in, but it's not as easy as they make it look, and in the early stages of a career like this, you get lonely and homesick and hardly see your family and friends and you have to work very hard to make it and maintain that fame.  95% of people who have ever been on these talent shows will never ever cut it, as it's much harder than it looks.

Only Katie and Cher and Matt are like 'pop stars' in my opinion and Katie has proven she has SOME of what it takes, by sticking it out and coming back strong week after week, despite dreadful press and hate campaigns, just because bloody Gamu wasn't put through!  (The reaction to that shows that people need to get out more and get a life.)

Rebecca is OK, but her voice grates on me a bit and she has NO stage presence or confidence and is embarrassing to watch because she continually looks at her bloody feet!  I like Matt quite a bit but thought he was pretty shrill last night.  TreyC is good but very bland IMO and too much like Alexandra Yukky Burke who I detest as a performer.. and her music is bland shite.  I would rather have a Same Difference CD in my car!  One Direction are pretty good but if they do become popular, they won't last more than 7 or 8 singles and 2 albums (when the little tweens get bored!)  Aiden is quite Ok but there is something I just don't like about him and I would not buy his music or pay to see him.)  Paige is OK but nothing special.

Whoever wins, I hope they don't give them some shit bland Westlife piece of crap which will wreck their career before it starts like they did with Shayne Ward!

how appropriate for 1 Direction

does Simon choose the theme each week, I wonder ?

They had more footage of her on the tills last night....i feel another complaint from sainsbury's coming on.

Evening gang

YES YES YES double Minogue tonight.

Evening all  

I thought Matt was flipping brilliant last night - he is soooo safe

Who is Shane Ward??

YAY Vid!  Could I BE more excited?!

One happy Vids

I can't think of anything worse.  But at least you're happy Vids.

everyone.
