Loving the new format of live audiance ala BGT. Stacey and Daniel were simply brilliant.

Anyone notice how three of the judges are changing seats? I guess Dannii got fed up of been by Louis' side all the time!

I was blown away by the chap at the end Danyl Johnston. He had such stage presence!

I was disappointed with the new format. I prefer to watch all the really bad performances and wonder at how they think they are great singers :thumbsdown:

I don't like the idea of the live audience but, we shall see after I've watched.:yes:

I do not like the new format. I agree Stacey and Daniel were fantastic and i hope to see them in the final line up.

Yeah, I went on holiday end Sept/beg Oct and missed boot camp but saw all the audition shows and live finals

I don't think I like the new set up with the live audience.....but then again, Daniel's performance wouldn't have been anything near as good if it wasn't for the audience to play to. He wasn't a fantastic singer but he was a fantastic performer....and humble too.

Jodie

I think the live audience is one way of distracting from the judges and making it about the contestants and yeah, Daniels performance wouldn't have seemed half as good without the feedback he was getting and playing to

Wasn't as happy with episode two. The last fella was good, gave a brilliant performance to the crowd etc but I am fed up and all reality shows insisting and milking a sob story.

i saw a few mins of it on Saturday, didn't even realise it was back on.

The guy with the afro was amazing.......and someone told me one of the contestants died, is that true?

Ursula

OMG I have no idea :( The trouser man was weird.

mumof2
31-08-2009, 06:04 PM
well i did see a man crying before he sang but didn't hear why he was crying, so maybe somebody he knew had died :unsure:

trouser man? was that the guy from Persia?

Dawn

No trouser man was on Xtra Factor.

He looked like he had a roll of socks stuffed down them.

The guy who was crying,

He got an audition last year but it was on the day of his brothers wedding. He went to his brothers wedding and missed his audition. Six weeks later his brother was dead.

ok my honest thoughts here, and i dont generally give them that often as i shy away from it all, but as you asked here goes..

why change something if its not broken............... why does it seem to similar to gbt??
i dont like the live audience!!

and the great performers are already great...... i like to see it when they are shy and to watch them grow, but they have soooo much confidence and are already great performers, i realise i sound ridiculous, but its how i feel


and as for the sob stories....do we really need to hear them before we judge there performances??

Jodie

I like the audience, so far anyway but nope, we don't need a sob story for every person who walks on stage. Reminds me of R'Wayne from the Peter Kay thingy!

Jeez lady, you can't have it both ways!

Either roll your eye's and moan about the production team squeezing the stories for all there worth or cry and vote for them!

Ep3 lat night. I still prefer the live audience but do wish they'd show more of the actual auditions, last night it seemed only few people went through and they desperately need to show more groups, however bad they are!

Lucie was amazing!

Britchick

I HATE JOHN AND EDWARD!!! If Louis walsh lets them through I'm seriously considering boycotting the x-factor until theya re gone.

josh louis will put them through just to annoy everyone

He is so annoying.

Upto now I like;

Miss f.r.a.n.k
Stacey Soloman
Lucie Jones and the older woman witht he afro in the over 25's category (I can't recall her name!!)
I was dissapointed with the teacher from essex, but I was pretty impressed with the over 25's.

My prediction at the minute is Stacey to win- She is not one of the best singers but her personality makes her SO likeable!

I love Miss Frank and Stacey BUT please John and Edward WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Britchick
05-10-2009, 08:13 PM
i love that stacey (the essex one) she's just so sweet and innocent and natural. Would be nice to see someone like her win i like the guy that simon put through last too oh and that daniel that had the hair band.

josh.p.
24-10-2009, 11:00 PM
Just watching it now (Recorded it since I was out) and WOW. Olly was GREAT! He wasn't one of my favourites from the beginning but now I think Simon is onto a Winner with him :yes:

Britchick
24-10-2009, 11:48 PM
My favourites tonight were miss frank and danyl hate john and Edward

josh.p.
25-10-2009, 12:02 AM
Stacey is doing amazingly well- but any song that reminds me of Disney is going to please me!

She has just found this confidence that I've never seen in her before!!

Disneybumble
25-10-2009, 11:46 AM
I love Joe, and l think Miss Frank are great. I also Stacey is great BUT i think she puts on the "Daftness" a bit after she has sung. As in her pre recorded bit she's not as daft.,

heres a thought for you all , what if them wierd boys end up like the cheeky girls :thumbsdown: they would be on everything just because they are rubbish n annoying :slap:

29-10-2009, 10:35 AM
john and edward are still in because the crazy british public keep voting for them

and thats fine while we try and get the not so good out, as i love watching what there going to do next. BUT when daniel and miss frank were in the bottom two then obviously its time for them to go

josh.p.
31-10-2009, 10:39 PM
I loved Lucie tonight, thought that Danyl really played up to being in the bottom two and it wouldn't shock me if he was there again. He is playing on the sympathy vote and it doesn't wash with me! I don't want him to be cocky again but at the same time I can't be doing with a puppy dog mopesing around!!!

I liked Jo too :yes: Not seen the others yet as I'm watching it on the digibox.

Olly was the best for me and I still love Joe!

Best bit last night - apart from the twins - was a glimpse of Ruth from last year. :mental:

josh.p.
01-11-2009, 11:48 AM
Olly is one of my favourites! At the minute I really like Olly, Stacey and Joe! I think Miss Frank where brilliant and didn't deserve to go!

funnily enough i thought of you when they showed that!

Claire
01-11-2009, 02:36 PM
I'm thinking maybe it might be time for the twins to go. For the last couple of weeks now when the judges are giving their opinions, if it's not very complimentary one of the twins (unsure which one) starts to look really upset and the other twin always has to comfort him. They're so young & it must affect them hearing the harsh words. Better to go out in the 4th or 5th week than to go on to win and the record company to pull the plug after a year and shatter their dreams as in the case of Leon Jackson?

I agree, the truth hurts though, and it's a fact- they can't sing. They shouldn't be there at all, but it's not their fault they are there.

I think they'll be gone this week or next week. :yes:
