X-Factor

No thread on the show?

Watching the American one now. Its Rock week and only one rock song so far! Out of like seven!

Been watching the UK one and can safely say this show now needs to end. What a load of crap. Not one good singer, the show is all about the judges egos and the commercial breaks are ridiculous, there's one like every 5 minutes.

I actually quite enjoy them.

The two Scouse lads are good

Craig is alrite, little bland though, he also hasn't done better than his first live performance, which is disappointing.
Marcus is the one I see winning, because he has 'the whole package' but will release one song and we will never see him again, just in the papers a year later saying how Xfactor ruined his life xD
I guess the Girl Band is okay too, especially when girl groups are not really successful on this show.

I think the biggest mistake they made was putting that Frankie through to the live shows instead of Joe Cox, he was really good and different.

Amelia lilly or that dark lass, can't remember her name, will probably end up winning.

The judges seem to love that Misha

Misha has been in the bottom two so I cant see her winning, no winner has ever been in the bottom two.

Think its between Misha and Marcus for me !

Amelia Lilly will win it I reckon, for all Marcus is from Liverpool, he's a one trick pony that performs songs and in a style the genertaion that watch and vote on X-Factor will not identify with, he'll get to the finals, but he won't win.

Going to be another year you never hear of them again.
Liking Amelie Lilly and the legs on the red head from Little Mix.

Liking Amelie Lilly

Reminds me of Christina Aguilera, thats why I think she'll win it, voters will identify with her.

I don't really watch the show and not even sure who is left in.

An entertainment show and NOT a music show which was all too evident last night when I was watching Children In Need.

Ed Sheeran who has broke through without this type of show was shoved on just before a change over back to BBC 1 and the JLS got prime slot just as the show restarted. Also almost every music act was from a 'talent' show with One Direction on twice, Susan Boyle murdering one of my favourite songs Enjoy The Silence and Matt Cardle on later.

It may be what the general public want as far as music goes but not my cup of tea at all.

Sorry for the mini rant

Fine set of lungs on her.
Always love a rock chick.

Rant away man. Even some of the "stars" are just ex contestants now.

Rihanna on X-Factor 

prefer her somewhere else 

prefer her somewhere else 

Seeing her 'live' next week 

Rihanna on X-Factor 

Aye she'd get it, right up the biscuit isle.

Hob KNOBS or Custard CREAMS !

Amelia has no chance of winning.

Imagine the backlash from someone winning after effectively getting a free pass for so many weeks. Just won't happen.

Hob KNOBS or Custard CREAMS !

Funny you should mention that, last night I had the strangest dream it really was a scream, I dreamt I was a baker and I filled Rihanna up with cream.

Amelia has no chance of winning.

She has the exact same chance as any one else mate, its a talent contest.

They are searching for a pop star that will sell records and have a shelf life, Amellia Lily and Misha B are the two stand out performers for that.

Daz your so rude 

Amelia shouldn't be there, but I think she's better than Craig !

Amelia shouldn't be there, but I think she's better than Craig !

Technically she should be there mate, she should never have been voted off, it was a joke to make each judge vote an act off in their first week, when some of the sh*te Louis walsh picked were still in a talented singer was sat at home.

Agree about her talent Daz but she WAS voted off (by Gary) so shoudn't be there !
Sorry meant Kelly not Gary !

I can see Craig going home....

Forget the singing, Amelia is stunning.

It's a singing competition not an eye candy one (not that I disagree) !

Singing competition? Hope that's tongue in cheek? 

Eye candy is keeping the male viewers.

WRONG! It's a money making exercise, pure and simple.

cant see this show lasting much longer.Ratings are down,talent is shocking this year and the judges are the worst they have ever had.

Tulisa and Kelly Rowland arn't bad too look at though.

They're quite talented alright.
Not a patch on Danii though.
Reckon Simon got out while the goings good.
USA all in one night, with good acts.
That'll do

Used to watch it but I find it so patronising now it offends me eyes and ears to watch.

I also want to kick louis walsh's teeth in every time he opens his rent boy gobbling mouth.

From the ones left, I would actually like to see Little Mix win, just wish they wouldnt have picked that awful name when they had to change it.
All the others are meh and as much as I hate him, I agreed with Gary Barlow on Amelia, she just shouted her way through that sing off, although Craig did himself no favours doing the same old stuff he always does.

The only three I think who have a chance of winning now are Little Mix, Marcus and Janet, basically because I don't think they have been in the bottom two yet.

Motown next week. Marcus will kill it.

Sorry to see Fat Rick Astley go.

Winning X-Factor means zilch, it's talent that counts.

It started with Pop Idol, remember that.

Now sorry for the crapness of the above list, but the "artists" in bold/red are the only ones in my opinion who have done anything.

Winning means nothing. I've put One Direction, as they have a song I have heard of.

hope amelia lilly or marcus wins,janet should have been gone long ago,the only act I can see making something outa the show is little mix tho

Motown next week. Marcus will kill it.

So will Misha B Mr T, if not, Hannibal, Face and Murdoch will welcome him back.

If anyone is interested, and I doubt it, 2009 Winner Joe McElderry is peddling his New Album on QVC(UK) tonight at 6pm.

Tulisa is my favourite judge and Little Mix are my favourite act..i hate misha B.

Misha B gone out tonight, to be honest I think the quality this year has been very poor.

I think I'd like to see Amelie Lily win it.

Nah, Marcus has got this!

Little Mix will win.

As I've said before & I'll say it again  NO judge should be mentors, & kick off  that  twunt Louie Walsh, if cowell does that at least that botox  pumping waz won't be able to inflick sh*te like Jedward upon us while decent talent is booted of!! Anyway I prefer Strictly, none of the people on that make me want to put my foot though the TV.....well maybe Sir Brucie occadionally. but the male eye candy   

Been fu**ed up the last two weeks on there Misha B never deserved to go out and neither did Amelia Lilly.

Seriously if the music and teh style that Marcus has been singing in on X-factor is a reflection on the direction he'll take as an Artist, will any one buy any of that sh*te ?

If he wins it scouser or no scouser the whole shows a F***ing farce.

Louie has already been told he will be in the next series, he is pretty much best buddies with Simon.
For me the two worst judges are Gary "Im.not.reading.from.a.sc ript" Barlow and Kelly "OMG YOU PUT IT DOWN" Rowland.
Tulisia who I thought I would hate has actualy been the best judge this series, she has been honest and actually try to help acts, even if no her own, apart from that Misha B bully thing xD

But my £10 bet on Little Mix to win at 6/1 is looking good They are now 4/11 lool

Amelia was never going to win, there would have been outrage if someone had won after effectively having a bye for the first 5 or so weeks.

Little Mix will win it I think.

Anyone see thee Amercan X Factor results show the other night.

Absolute comedy gold at the end. Only in America.

I want Marcus to win but how many Scum bas**rds are gonna vote for Little Mix ?

This so called "Cold Play" were robbed! No doubt they will go on to bigger things!

Woohoo! Little Mix won! That's a nice £60 won

But to be fair they were the best tonight.

Sack the sound engineer.
Brutal.

I would genuinely love to ride Jade and Perry in the band

Former X Factor star Kerry McGregor dies of cancer

Former X Factor contestant Kerry McGregor has died after a battle with bladder cancer.

The 37-year-old from West Lothian appeared on the third series of the show in 2006.

A spokesman said: "It is with deep sadness we announce that Kerry passed away at home, earlier today, following a battle with cancer."

During The X Factor she was mentored by Sharon Osborne in the series that was won by Leona Lewis.

Kerry went out in the third week of the live finals.

She performed in a wheelchair as a result of an accident when she was 13.

She had worked with several charities including Leonard Cheshire Disability and Action for Bladder Cancer.

Colin Bunce, Chair of Action for Bladder Cancer said: "She was a truly inspirational person and we were delighted when, before Christmas, she accepted our invitation to become an Ambassador for Action on Bladder Cancer".

Kerry's spokesman said the singer was rehearsing and recording until as recently as last month and was due to perform a duet with Susan Boyle this year.
