X-Factor tonight

[Claire]

We are out for dinner with friends tonight so can I rely on you all to cheer Furby Eggnog on? :thumbsup: Thank you!

[Dawn]

I'll be voting for Ruth as normal, though I fear this may be her last week. :unsure:

[Claire]

I'll be voting for Ruth as normal, though I fear this may be her last week. :unsure:See now I'm sure it'll be Furby that goes. I'm getting more and more annoyed at the thought that as far as the powers that be are concerned they've already decided the winner.

[mumof2]

we'll cheer him on for you tonight Claire, DS9 wants him to win too :yes:

[Britchick]

See now I'm sure it'll be Furby that goes. I'm getting more and more annoyed at the thought that as far as the powers that be are concerned they've already decided the winner.

do you really think there's been a man on the moon? :unsure:

[Claire]

You think there's really a moon??

[Britchick]

You think there's really a moon??

good point! now i wonder if Elvis will turn on our christmas lights tomorrow:tongue:

[Dawn]

Elvis works in the sock shop on Oxford St. I thought everyone knew that.

[Dawn]

Gutted! :(

[Jazmine]

I cant believe Ruth has gone, i think it should have been Diana, i know she has an unusual voice, but Ruth has an amazing voice :worship:
Jacqui xxxx

[Dawn]

Still gutted. :(


Diana sounds like a cat that's had its tail stepped on.

[mumof2]

unbelievable - i thought it would be Diana too


Ruth rocked last night.....fingers crossed that won't be the last we hear of her

[Britchick]

Diana sounds like a cat that's had its tail stepped on.

i agree. Can you imagine listening to a whole cd of that?

[Dawn]

Purgatory...

[Britchick]

maybe Rachel and Diana could do a duet dedicated to Dawn :evil:

[Jodie]

Shame Ruth went but I can't believe no-ones commented on Britney! What a flipping sham. Lip synching on a singing talent show is a poor show indeed. Why the hell was everyone so physched to see her? I used to love her now, she should be at home wondering where it all went wrong and when she decides to make a come back at least sing darn it!

Miley Cyrus put her to shame last night.

[mainecoon lover]

Agree ruth should never have gone. Total fix,is should of been diane or eggnog. Let's hope true talent wins this, Alex to win. I agree Britney should have sung live.

[mumof2]

to be honest Jodie, i haven't really been all that impressed by any of the 'special guests' they've had apart from Leona Lewis!

[Britchick]

ummmm TAKE THAT?????


i agree Jodie but i had forgotten about it!! old age i think :lol:

erm, must have missed them! :lol:

I agree what were they thinking :slap:

[Claire]

None of the contestants did it for me when they sang their Brittany song. It was only the second part when they sang again that I really enjoyed it.

[Dawn]

Still gutted...

[Slowhand]

You would have thought that Britney Spears would have had sufficient talent without having to mime throughout her "spot". :thinking:
It would also have been nice to have seen her giving advice and encouragement to the contestants singing her songs...apparently she never even watched the show from her dressing room!

[mumof2]

i noticed when Dermot asked Britney what she thought of how the contestants were doing she said something along the line of "amazing, it's so great to be here, everybody's been so great blah, blah, blah" - i think she may have misunderstood what he'd asked her!

now don't get me wrong - she's had a tough time and good for her for making a comeback BUT live would have been good. :yes:

[josh.p.]

I think Britney had to mime because of that dance routine. No singer can sing that well and do a dance routine, and rather than have her dance well and sing badly or dance badly and sing well, they let her mime. From what I hear the people in the audience hear her live, but what we get through our telly is a pre-recorded version.

Gutted Ruth went, and I was really let down by Diana's 1st performance. This has been the worst week yet, IMO. Alexandra really was brilliant both times though.
Diana's second performance was brilliant too. I'm hoping Diana wins, but I'd be really really happy for Alexandra too, seeing as she never made it through to the live shows a few years ago and it'd be a kick in the teeth for Louis

[josh.p.]

Agree ruth should never have gone. Total fix,is should of been diane or eggnog. Let's hope true talent wins this, Alex to win. I agree Britney should have sung live.
I don't think it's a fix, it's not like the producers have a vested interest in any of them, the whole show would be pulled if it turned out to be a fix- way too much for them to risk IMO.

I do agree Ruth was AMAZING, I am sad that I won't see her on T.V next saturday, but in the long-run, I'm sure its a blessing in disguise (as it is for Laura Whyte) that she's gone. Her style isn't suited to a competition like the x-factor, she sounds AMAZING when she does rock ballads... perhaps she could stick to them and get a record-label else where. I think Alexandra, also, could do better without the competition.

Have to disagree mate. Saw Michael Jackson before he went all weird and he sang and danced for 2 solid hours and was awesome.

Britney was a total waste of space. She didn't even know that the contestants had been singing her songs. Mariah is as big as they get and she spent time with the contestants. Heard something on Radio 2 that Britney wouldn't even speak to Simon Cowell.

I think she mimed in case she forgot her words and fell over or something.:point:

Still gutted about Ruth.

Voting for Alexandra now and hoping someone duct tapes Diana's hand to her side.

[Britchick]

sorry Josh but a professional should be able to. Anyway she should be concentrating on making herself better mentally so that she can have a part in her kids life, not relaunching her career in the UK. Sorry but that's how i feel


i have a feeling that they told Diana to keep her hands on the mike - she looked like she was doing it then forgot.

[Dawn]

In the second song Diana looked like she needed a wee. She was doing a potty dance. :ROFL:

[Slowhand]

I`m with the majority here in feeling that Ruth should still be in the competition.
The only downside is that whenever I saw her, I couldn`t help thinking of how much she reminded me of Fernando Alonso ! :thumbsdown:

I agree. She really wasn't much use giving advice. I didn't like her performance either... but then I'm not a Britney fan in the slightest :unsure:

Someone as Talented as Michael could do it, obviously Britney isn't so talented :point: I just think it is very hard to dance AND sing well... shame that they picked dancing over singing though.... with her being a SINGER and all! :taunt: It might have also been down to time constraints with rehearsals too... she's only been in England for a little bit, and only arrived on set the morning of her performance



I have a feeling that they told Diana to keep her hands on the mike - she looked like she was doing it then forgot.
She's said that shes trying not to do it because it annoys her. Shes an ace singer and I reckon it might be her 'thing' that she does (Other singers have different 'things' that they do). Very annoying, but I really want her to win anyway

[Jodie]

She's giving the exact same performance all over Europe to promote the single, I assume rehearsals wouldn't have been difficult to do for one song/performance.

You shouldn't believe all you read but I had read earlier in the day on Sat that she was making all sorts of demands and rules backstage at X-Factor and having heard her vague response to Dermots questions I believe the rumour, it was blatent she had no clue exactly where she was, other than in London, or what the show was, she only knew she had a 3-4min slot and then off to mime the same routine somewhere else.

I noticed she had no clue what she was saying to Dermot, too.

She didn't even wish them good luck! She just said "I think everyone is fabulous and should just keep doing what they're doing" or something similar to that :slap:

What song is 'Girlfriend?!' who sings it?
I like her 2nd song choice... Euoughn (or however the h-ll you spell it needs to go tonight!) Singing a buster song.. pffft! how corny! I think Alexandra could have picked better songs too :sorry:


Yikes! I don't rate Diana's choices too much... Owen furby eggnog may be on the bus home tonight though. Hoping for a Alex/JLS final.
I want a Diana/Alex final... really don't mind who wins out of the pair of them...

Diana is really fit though!

[Isafari]

Does this mean that the final is on next week?

[josh.p.]

sure does! :yes:

[Dawn]

Correct!! You win tonight's star prize. :D

yeah.. again, I admit I know nothing about the xfactor but as I was walking through the lounge, DW had xfactor on and I said ARGHGHGHGH who's that screeching REALLY badly? Helen laughed and said it was Diana. I said omg she'll be out then and Helen said you wait and see what the judges say, they love her.

Sure enough, nothing but praise. I admit I know nothing about the programme but what's up with that??

[josh.p.]

Diana sounds like a cat that's had its tail stepped on. :laugh:

am I the only one who can't hear those words? If you close your eyes it sounds normal.. if I read the sub-titles, it sounds the same.

love is obviously deaf as well as blind sweetie :lol: :hug2:

Yes. You are the only one.

Apart from the stupid judges.

[Britchick]

can we stick to one thread on the x factor please, i'm getting confused:unsure:

[Claire]

I thought that was good for Furby.

[Dawn]

I love that scooter. :D

[mumof2]

well i only heard Diana - didn't see her act but i have to say she sounded better than she has for weeks.

[Dawn]

I'm voting for the scooter.

[mumof2]

I'm voting for the scooter. :unsure:

[Dawn]

It's been the best thing so far. :mental:

[mumof2]

It's been the best thing so far. :mental:

I thought JLS sounded a bit bland.

ok you're winding me up now aren't you :yes:

WHAT FLIPPIN' SCOOTER :slap:

[Dawn]

The scooter that Diana was sitting on at the beginning of her song. :lol:

So far I like JLS best but that's not really saying much - probably because I knew that song better than the others. :unsure:

[mumof2]

The scooter that Diana was sitting on at the beginning of her song. :lol:

phew! now you've told me i'll be able to sleep tonight :D

[Dawn]

After you've voted for the scooter. :D

After you've voted for the scooter. :D


:yes:

[Britchick]

mmmmmmmmmmmmoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooo

[Dawn]

Cow?

[josh.p.]

Bad song choices all round for the first songs I think. Diana and Alex where my fave, I do think that singing really recent songs was a bad idea... It might just be me but I can't help but compare them to the original version if that makes sense?

Diana singing Dido was amazing!!!

[mumof2]

Cow?


who?

[Dawn]

No moo!

[mumof2]

No moo!


moo who :lol:

[Britchick]

me........... mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[lisaw]

What with cows, mooing and scooters i am completely confused :shrug:

[Britchick]

sorry Mairead, just being very silly, furby made me do it


tbh i don't think any of them have the Xfactor this year

[Dawn]

Can you tell I'm not over enamoured by tonight's performances? :rotfl:

[mumof2]

LOL, Furby made you moo? Wonder what he'd think about that reaction! :rotfl:

[Dawn]

OK this is a bit more like it. :tralala:

[mumof2]

so who's best tonight, Alexandra i guess :unsure:

[Claire]

Alex is in a league of her own.

[Britchick]

LOL, Furby made you moo? Wonder what he'd think about that reaction! :rotfl:

i have a wonderful response to that but it wouldn't be fitting for here :ROFL1:

[Dawn]

Did Cheryl just burp on live TV?

[josh.p.]

Wow. Alex was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[Tinkerbell]

I love that song and WOW she was amazing :yes:

[mumof2]

Alex is in a league of her own.


if she doesn't win this then there's something wrong - she's already sings and dances like a star in my opinion



i have a wonderful response to that but it wouldn't be fitting for here :ROFL1:

ohhhh can't you whisper it? :yes:

[mumof2]

Did Cheryl just burp on live TV?


oo yuk did she?

[Britchick]

oh god!

I missed her.... when did she apparently burp?

Eggnog-bogbrush or yodelgirl to go - please.

(I thought she was very good too :) )

[josh.p.]

Voted for the claw. Twice. :thumbsup: I want eggnogg to go, or JLS.

I am erring on the side of wanting Alex to win over Diana....

[Dawn]

But Alex is Ruthie's bestest friend so I'm sure she'd approve of my vote.

[Deb]

I just don't get JLS. I just don't. So there :taunt:

[josh.p.]

I'm merging the thread, hold on tighhhhtttt

[Tinkerbell]

3 votes for Alex here, Jack wanted to vote for The Claw, but I had the phone so 'he' voted for Alex instead :taunt:

[Deb]

But Alex is Ruthie's bestest friend so I'm sure she'd approve of my vote.

Ah, yes. 'Tis true.
