X FACTOR 2011

[Dee]

Yeah she reminded me of Pixie lott too but she looked very old for 16! I thought the same about the girl that had to come back without her band, very scripted I thought that Samil was good but she didn't do anything for me, she seemed a little old fashoined I liked John Jo too, very individual. Can't remember who Lascel was though

[joyce]

Lascel was the last kid on Sat night Dee, he had been in foster homes all his life but now re-united with his mum she with him, I think they brought her on stage at the end

[joyce]

I think next weekend are the last of the auditions..will have to record them as off dog showing will catch up Monday

[caz2]

From last nights show I thought John Adams from Wales had such a beautiful voice, Michelle Barrett the irish woman who I can't believe was only 31 was also good, although as much as I like Tulisa, she did make the lady's audition about her mum and herself rather than the lady involved.
John Wilding from last years show has also improved massively, not only his voice but his image also. Although how can a young lad afford £10,000 teeth veneers? Read that in the paper btw
2 shoes were very good, and I didn't expect them to be either.

[joyce]

Just caught up love John Adams..looking forward to bootcamp

[Dee]

Yep, all those were my favourites too Caz, although I was a little disappointed that Louis Tomlinson has come to support the Maths teacher as they used to rehearse together, obviously another one NOT plucked from obscurity
I also couldn't believe that woman was 31, I had to rewind it as I thought she looked at least 41!

[joyce]

Well most of the gudns got thru to Judges houses, but so disapointed the maths teacher did not make it we will see what next weekend brings

[caz2]

I agree Joyce. I was gutted he didn't get through as well. Not happy at all that Kitty is down to the last 8, and will no doubt get to the live shows. That woman is just so annoying. I thought Katie Waissel was bad. But she's got nothing on her. What a drama queen.
There is a girl called Hollie who got through to the judges houses, and she is the daughter of a lady my dad works with. Now she is 16 and you wouldn't even know what the poor girl's voice was like unless you watched the xtra factor last night. She has been totally stitched up as they have not shown one audition of hers, and yet Kitty and some of the others are never off the screen.

SPOILER: Click to show

Needless to say Hollie doesn't make it into the final 4. Also heard that the chinese lady has pulled out of the show as well??? Does that mean she got through to the last 4 as well??? Gets worse

Why couldn't the judges have put the blonde irish lady through who was 31, instead of some of the silly ones that were picked?

[kim]

As we've known all along Caz, it's all a fix Kitty was asked to 'audition' by the producers so of course she'll be in the final 4. Goldie did get through to the live finals, but one of the papers yesterday said her husband was not happy that she was being edited as this year's Wagner, so she's pulled out. Sian Phillips who was in the final 8 of the girls has had to pull out because she has a conviction for affray and isn't allowed to go the the US, so there will be a couple of replacement at least next week.

On a lighter note, did anyone else notice the similarity between Sami Brooks (the bar maid who wore the leopard skin turban and brown dress on Sunday) and Peter Kay? Shame she's not called Geraldine

[caz2]

Haha Didn't notice the similarity Kim, but now you have pointed it out, I will have a closer look on Saturdays show.
I would have said out of the girls that Janet, Jade, Amelia and Misha would be the final 4, for the boys I am going with James who has the curly hair, john from last year, frankie Cocozza and Marcus. For the overs Samantha, Kitty, Terry, and Jonjo. Although would love to be wrong about Kitty.
For the groups Chasing Keys, 2 shoes, (Nu vibe and The Risk are very similar so don't think both will get through, and not seen enough of either to decide who) and The Lovettes?

SPOILER: Click to show

Just read that Tulisa didn't put through Chasing Keys allegedly because they were too posh >: Why do thy have to go and ruin it by giving spoilers away? (

[Dee]

I'm just looking forward to the live shows now. I have a few favourites at the moment but I can't rememer their names

Has anyone been watching the USA X Factor? OMG I didn't think it could get any cheesier but Simon has took this show to a new level and going by the talent they've shown so far, the UK have better talent by far!

[joyce]

Jeeze the groups are dire I quite like the quirky one dont know the names
The girls I like Amelia, Jade, Janet,and Sofie
The overs love Sammi {peter Kay lol) JonJo
The boys james,Frankie,marcus
Still cant believe the maths teacher did not get thru

[Dee]

I actually quite liked some of the groups Joyce, especially the ones that were on first who sang the dollar song in auditions, I thought they were amazing last night. Out of the two manufactured boy bands I thought they were both good but the younger ones really impressed me. I love two shoes ;D
Out of the boys I love the one who was on at the end who sang Halo, I can't remember his name I also like Frankie, Joe and the young scouse hairdresser. The girls I love Amelia & Janet, The overs I like Sammi (Peter Kay ;D), Terry, the girl who I had never seen before (prob obvious she's not gonna get through : and I like Kitty's voice but just cannot stand her

I'm looking forward to tonight ;D

[Dee]

Well here are my views on the final 16:

Boys, Craig - Love him, James - good but I would've preferred Joe tbh Frankie, love him and marcus was good too. All in all I am pleased with the boys but would've swapped Jo with james.

Girls - Misha, don't like her, Amelia - Really pleased she got through, Janet - love her, Sophie - Good but a little plain and boring. I was kind of glad Jade didn't get through as although she had a fantastic voice she had zero personality

Groups - Two Shoes - Love them, Manufactured Girl Group - Crap, Manufactured Boy Group - very good. Now I was really shocked what happened next when The Keys didn't get through, I thought they were a dead cert because they were so good, unbelievable and then Tulisa splits them up to create yet another manufactured band, that really left a nasty taste in my mouth

Louis - well the less said the better to be honest, I'm just glad Sammi got another chance but if I had seen who he put through over me I would've told him to f**** off!! ;D

[caz2]

I was really pleased with all 4 that Gary picked. They were my favs, especially Marcus. Although what have the stylists done to James hair? Looked like Shirley Temple.
I did read that Tulisa split up the 2 groups, which I wasn't happy about either, plus the 2 boy bands are very good, but will split the female vote, I think. Liked 2 Shoes, and Rhythmix were not bad. My mum read in the Daily Star paper that one of the girls frrom 2 shoes is pregnant, so how true that is I don't know.
No surprise that Kitty went through, unfortunately, like Johnjo, Sami and Johnny has a good personality, but putting through him and Goldie??? Louis doesn't deserve to win, making decisions like that. Goldie pulling out of the show, has stopped Louis being a complete laughing stock.
I kind of knew Kelly would pick Amelia, Misha and Janet, although was shocked at Jade not getting through. Janet has a nice voice, but would I want to listen to that babyness in her voice week after week, I'm not sure. I really like Amelia though, from this group.
