and me especially if I lived next door

God help us all. lol

this guy probably - he's got a back story.

wow took himself into foster care - 

ROFL.

I see that X Factor is copying the awful backstage auditionees chats with eachother from BGT.

It's so fake and cringeworthy.

yes but he has just been honest not making it into a sob story

I want him to be good

yep... he's not milking it, but usually they show you the stories of the good ones is what I meant

wishing him to be good

not sure TBH - there is something there

and me soozy -

not enjoying the song tbh, but I do think he could be good

oooooooo standing ovation

The thing is - for all their originality once they get through they're forced to toe the line and sing certain songs etc.

If I'm brutally honest - that wasn't my cup of tea - although very emotive.

Some raw talent there.

I like him. Just lose the 'swag' nonsense.

yes

yes  there is - he just needs voice training i think but he needs to retain his individuality

The problem with people like this lad and the girl Lucy, is that they have an individual style and I'm not sure whether they will work in the stupid "theme" weeks.

yes - they would be better on Britain's got talent

yep.. I think the 'theme' thing is the worst thing about X Factor.  They say they need to be able to sing different styles - total crap.    You're not going to hear Cold Play sing Dancing Queen are you?

off to BB fred -

Did I see Jade from last year in that trailer?   Local rumour said she was back this year, but it's not been in the paper this time.

Exactly.

Goodnight Ros.

I'm sure I heard that Jade was back this year, but I can't remember where I read it.

I rewound yogi - there's a quick clip of a girl with her hand over her mouth that could be her.

I've just realised Ros said "off to BB fred". I read it as "off to bed fred", I thought she was saying goodnight.

I'm off to the BB thread too.

Just watching it now, loved it, not sure that she's 'X factor material'  'though,  made me think of Victoria Wood

James from Saltburn was pretty damned good, 'though don't see him as 'X Factor' material either

The singer-songwriter appeared on Saturday's (August 25) showon ITV1 performing her self-penned track 'Last Night' in front of the judges.

The 20-year-old's explained that the song was about "beer fear", the worry of waking up the morning after a night of heavy drinking.
As of Sunday evening, 'Last Night' has climbed up to number three in the iTunes download chart, below Sam and the Womp's 'Bom Bom' and last year's X Factor winners Little Mix.
Spraggan self-released 'Last Night' on her album Top Room at the Zoo last year.
She tweeted earlier today: "Number 5. You lot are absolutely amazing. #beerfear."

Anyone watching today? I saw this woman, she was a complete nightmare.

Hi disley.    She's mega irritating already.

Oh she did the Becky starey eye thing - and she's almost as annoying as she was.

OMG - how irritating
