He was lovely
My take on tonight, I think the new format will take some getting used to.
I loved the young Geordie kid Joe and also Stacey the young mother.
The twins were a hoot, they should stay till the end for sheer entertainment
My fav was the last act Danyl the teacher, wish we had teachers who looked like that when I was at school, maybe I would have gone more often xx

They never looked like that when I was at school either! Yes he was my favourite too, he looked like he had been performing for years!

Yeah I'm not so sure about the new format. It's not to do with there being an audience but more that the contestants are singing to music this time, which we all know can hide many flaws. I would have preferred them to sing acapella and then introduced the music at bootcamp stage.
My favourite was Danyl too. Wow what a voice, and how cool was he? When he spoke he came across as quite shy, but then the confidence he has when he sings just blows you away. I noticed Cheryl and Danni were drooling at the mouth as well. ;D I also like Joe singing Dance with my father. He has an amazing voice as well.
The two irish twins were so c ocky, especially the one with the flatter hair.
I can't believe Emma came back AGAIN. She was on Britains got talent last year as well. When will she stop. ;D

I thought James was very good last night. He reminded me a bit of Lenny Kravitz. He looked and sounded like a star already. I also thought the girl from Trinidad and Tobago had a fantastic voice. The guy who lost his brother to Lung cancer also had a very good voice but I am so sick of the sob stories. As tragic as it was, could he not have just said that he couldn't attend the x factor last year because he was at his brothers wedding? He would easily have got through on his own merit anyway. Also I don't think the guys nephew would have just voluntarily run on stage. He was obviously told to do that by a member of the production team for maximum effect and to tug on our heart strings.  That is what annoys me with this show. It's one sob story after another. We don't need to know the contestants history. |

Yeah I agree Caz, the sob stories are terrible and they've been done to death. James was good but nothing really special, just likeable. The black girl had a very good voice and the guy who's brother died was very average. It is all very predictable now, roll on the live shows!

Actually managed to watch it this week! I thought they weren't using the sob stories any more?? Problem is they're treated as a joke now, however sad the story is? Straight away last night he was labelled 'Daryl dead brother', in the same way as last year's Danny dead wife. I think it's unfair on the contestant, it should be the talent they're focussing on, not his history! I'm not sure he would have gone through without the story though, his voice was good, but not that good. Wasn't overimpressed by the girl from Trinidad either - once again a large black girl hollering her way through a power ballad  Liked the three girl group who did Britney and the guy with the Afro at the end. I must be getting cynical in my old age, it all seems so rehearsed and decided who is and isn't going through this year Not keen on the new format either, much preferred the auditionees to sing accapella, not hide behind musical arrangements. |

Thought the three girl group was ok, overall a poor show was not impressed at all (, hopefully we will find a star next week  |

I am finding it hard to get into this years xfactor, Daniel (Rugby player) Lucy were ok, even the crap ones are not funny, and the bloody audience are doing me head in.

I thought the 17 year old black girl had an amazing voice and Lucie and Daniel were very good as well. I think they were the only good ones from last nights show weren't they? I did find the french guy very funny singing the Mariah Carey songs. But I agree Joyce, some of them are ridiculous, especially the man singing about the larma. I do wish they would show some male groups as so far there have been none.  |
