Come on Dee, Kim and Joyce we have got X factor back so would love to know who you are all liking and loathing lol Okay here's my take on the acts. District 3 - Good opening to the show. Wasn't keen on the song choice, but they harmonise well. Hope they are not bottom 2 with going on first. James Arthur - Great voice, and enjoyed the rap as well. Good performance Melanie - What a powerful voice she has. Hit all the notes, although she is a bit shouty at times. Lucy - Likeable and like her doing her own songs with the guitar, but not sure if this is the right show for her, as she isn't that strong a singer, and can she keep singing her own songs week after week?? Not fair to everyone else. Mk1 - They surprised me the most, as I didn't think they were gonna be that great, but I enjoyed their performance. Very current, but are fans of that music gonna vote, as I can't see them getting the teenage girl vote, and definitely not the granny vote, so will be interesting to see how long they survive in the comp. Chris - Good vocals, although feel slightly cheated with all the "ooh I have got bad nerves, and everybody said I was no good" sob stories, considering he has made a living from singing on cruise ships. Where were his nerves then? Would have preferred the group to have won the wildcard. Union J - Bad song choice and just ok for me, but these guys were great at auditions and bootcamp, so hope they get another chance, as they are definitely better than that last performance. Rylan - Do not rate him one little bit. Think Jake from the boys category had a lovely voice and he got turned down for Rylan? Just think this years joke factor and find him very annoying. Kye - Very good performance I thought, and a contender to win. Ella - What a performance for a girl of 16. Beautiful voice. Carolynne - Weird song choice although she does have a good voice. Comes across as slightly desperate though. First Fame Academy now back on x factor AGAIN Jahmene - Wow fanbloody tastic. What a voice. Best of the night Jahmene, Ella and Kye Worst - Rylan and Union J, although hope the boys are not bottom 2. Maybe Mk1?

Well that was a controversial show last night wasn't it? I did feel a bit sorry for Louis as he took a lot of stick for his decision, and then he saved Carolynne only to change his mind, and ultimately sent her home. ;D I do not think Rylan has that great a voice, but it went to the public vote, so people can't really complain when Carolynne polled the fewest votes. I am quite looking forward to how this is gonna pan out week after week, as Rylan has become the joke factor, so I think people will vote for him for the wrong reasons now, but it has made the programme more exciting that's for sure.

Did look a couple of times to see if anyone else was posting during the auditions. Having said that, didn't really watch them, it seemed there were far too many sob stories and chat and not enough singing!
We were in Ireland until yesterday afternoon, but managed to sort of catch up by whizzing through sky plus. Too tired to remember each individual act, but I do like Jade, Kye, Jahmene and Ella. Cannot abide Christopher or James Arthur. I can't see why everyone thinks James is great, I find him a bit creepy and his voice not that good. Not keen on Lucy either - she should be on BGT. What is she going to do on theme weeks?
Liked all the controversy - it woke me up! I knew straight away Rylan would go through. It's XF tradition to have a joke act and there is no way the producers would let him go the first week. TBH I preferred him to Carolynne. I can remember her on Fame Academy, she was a bit meh then and still is, but older. I'll look forward to the car crash that is Rylan next week, I wouldn't have looked forward to Carolynne! Don't think it will make any difference any way. The only act with a shot of winning this year is Ella.
I will try to pay more attention next week!!

Think its time to put this show to bed once and for all its same old same old...Bring back the old Pop Idol format back and the judges Never watched the auditions or Boot Camp so dont know who was good that never went through.. I was not surprised to see Carolynne in the bottom but deff surprised to see Rylan we need entertainment as the singers are very short on the ground ...Louis must have forgot the script lol about sending it to deadlock Best by far is Ella and also love Jade (you missed her out Caz) Dont like James Arthur he seems big headed and certainly seems to have a attitude problem.. The rest will see who they do over the next couple of weeks

Very well spotted thank you Joyce. Just checking to make sure you were all paying attention lol Yes Jade has a lovely voice also. I wish they would bring Simon back. I do like Gary as he is a good substitute, as he speaks his mind and if he doesn't like it, he tells it like it is. Nicole, Tulisa and Louis sit too far on the fence for my liking. We need someone else who is opinionated and isn't afraid to go against the grain. I always feel that with those 3, they all pretty much think the same.

OMG big apologies for being like the scarlet pimpernel!!! Its been ages since I've been on here I have been watching X Factor though, as much as I whinge about it, I can't stay away Ok here's my take: District 3 - Thought they sang really well but was worried re Curse of the first! James Arthur - really like his voice but dislike him, I think he just likes to play the victim and he just gets on my nerves, I agree Joyce he seems to have an attitude problem. Melanie - Fabulous rocky voice but I wasn't impressed with the song. Lucy - I love lucy (is that a film??) I agree though, I think X Factor is the wrong show but I'm glad she's getting the exposure, I just hope the show doesn't ruin her. Mk1 - I really cannot stand this group and cannot see the attraction with them. Charlie(is that her name?) is an average singer at best and her street talk accent winds me up@! Chris - Felt a little sorry for him originally with the nerves but I feel I've been duped! No shaky microphone in sight on Saturday! Sorry Chris but your story is better than your voice Union J - I agree this was the wrong song but I was glad they got through:) Jade - loved Jade in the auditions but I wasn't mad about the song, I thought the sound was off, she sounded really quiet Rylan - I am still angry that the rock guy didn't go through to judges houses, he was my favourite! Rylan doesn't bother me really, they always have a novelty act and he can hold a tune......just;) Kye - I wasn't impressed, I thought he struggled, just average for me. Ella - Love this girl! she is my favourite so far! I thought she was a bit wobbly in places but for she has plenty of room for growth and what a voice!! Carolynne - Just meh for me! Pretty girl, not bad voice but No X Factor. Jahmene - Yep, he was fab, not sure he has the X Factor though. Best of the night for me Ella, District 3 and Jahmene. Worst - Chris, Union J, MK 1, Kye

Jahmene - Rubbish start, couldn't even work out the song, but very good in second half 7/10 Chris Maloney - He reminds me of a drag act without the drag. Completely wrong for XF, he's a stage/pub singer. Do not like him 2/10 Union J - Surprisingly good after last week's mess 7/10 Ella Henderson - Didn't like this at all. Nobody can sing that song except Minnie Ripperton and do it well. Sounded all over the place and so old fashioned. No denying she is very talented though 6/10 Melanie Masson - not my cup of tea, but she did well 6/10 Jade Ellis - Fan of Jades but that was a dirge Awful song, she sounded very nasal too. Could be in trouble 5/10 MK1 - Awful, she was flat and he sounded odd, bad song choice 2/10 Kye Sones - Like him, Liked his performance, hope he stays 6/10 Rylan - hahahaha!! ;D Bloody awful, but hope he stays for a few more weeks - 10/10 for production, 1/10 for singing ;D James Arthur - I'm willing to admit I was wrong - he was superb tonight Dark horse? 9/10 Lucy Spraggan - looked and sounded like a busker 3/10 District 3 - Good vocals, very bland song 6/10 Favourite tonight - James Arthur Bottom two - MK1 and Chris - Chris out hopefully, think Rylan will be safe (comments not in order - bloody iPad!)

Good evening Kim ;D Jahmene - Totally agree with you Kim, I thought I didn't know the song until the end! Chris Maloney - I think we are definately on the same wavelength, i said the same about him being a drag act, the way he flicks his head is so camp, he also seems a bit fake to me Union J - Really good, enjoyed it. Ella Henderson - Agree that this song can only be done by Minnie but after a dodgy start I thought she sang it well considering, poor song choice though. Melanie Masson - Rip off of Paloma Faith but it was just ok (OMG I sound like Simon), why do they insist on giving her mens songs to sing?? Jade Ellis - I thought this was marginally better than last week but I didn't particularly know the song either. MK1 - I didn't get that she was singing 'now since I see you in his arms', is it so complicated to replace his for her? It seemed wrong! He was bad, she was bad, thank god for the rap in the middle! Kye Sones - Not a bad performance but I agree with the judges that there is something missing. Rylan - Omg I actually laughed out loud for most of his performance but I enjoyed it!! I hope he's safe James Arthur - Great voice, great emotion, I just can't over his attitude and he still comes across too much of a victim, I don't find him likeable Lucy Spraggan - This is where she is vulnerable when she is singing other peoples songs but I liked it and I like her District 3 - Love the song ;D loved the harmonies:) Favourite tonight - I don't think I have a favourite Bottom two - MK1 and Chris - Chris out hopefully, think Rylan will be safe (My thought entirely Kim, sorry for copying and pasting, it was just easier ;D)

Bit random, but does Rylan look like Katie Price with a beard (and without a chest!) to anyone else, oris it just me?

Welcome back to your forum Dee ;D Hi All Jahmene - thought he was better than last week ...but just ok for me Chris Maloney - Agree with Louis he is a cruise ship singer and he reminds me of Paul O'Grady ;D Union J - thought they were one of the better acts tonight Ella Henderson - wrong song choice but she did ok even tho there was some dodgy vocals and why cant she be styled like a kid of her age Melanie Masson -too Shouty for me...just another singer that prob like most fade away after she is voted off Jade Ellis - song a bit boring but for me she has the package not the best voice but my fav by far..(that will prob be the kiss of death for her now). MK1 -dont mind these two I prefer them to the both boy bands Kye Sones - wrong song but I like him no one does Rhianna like Ryianna lol Rylan - He will be the one that has a future after xfactor he will prob end up with a TV show and earn millions like Jedward ;D James Arthur - Mr Arrogant but think he is by far the best of the male singers Lucy Spraggan - agree she has had the exposure of the show...she reminds me of Victoria Wood... ;D District 3 - Sorry agreed with Gary they weren't good tonight Favourites tonight -Jade and James Bottom two -Chris and Lucy and any of the others as long as Rylan is safe...better the entertainment than the ones who think they can sing And sorry too Kim I copied and pasted too ;D --
