Did we all watch this last night. They didn't show that many good singers, just the rubbish ones as usual. I thought Nicky at the end was very good, and her story brought a tear to my eye, and also Emily the mixed race girl had a good voice. But isn't it ironic that it's those with the good voices AND the sob stories that we remember, and seem to go the distance. I don't really remember anyone else that stood out for me on the show, it just seemed to be more aout the judges than anything. ::)I am glad Brian Friedman left and Louis came back, as I didn't particularly like Brian on Grease is the word, and it wasn't the same without Louis, even though I do think it was all a publicity stunt. Now that there are four judges it won't be left for the judges to decide who goes and who stays at the end, anymore then will it? I think I would prefer it to be left to the public vote anyway.

Yes I watched it ;D I'm glad Louis came back but I would've preferred that they got rid of bothe Danii and Brian tbh. I like Brian and he does seem fair in his judgements but I much prefer Louis ;D I thought Danii was ok but her voice was very boring and monotone, she isn't needed imo. I liked Nikki & Emily but preferred Nikki, she sang absolutely fantastic. Emily was good but not all that special. I hate the auditions, they focus more on the shite! And yes, it was all definately a publicity stunt! Sooo transparent

I watched right up until the sad music and sob stories started then lost interest. I'm not sure I like 14 and 15 year olds competing. Will the judges be as tough on them, will the audience vote for them because they are young? Why fiddle about with the format when it was working before?? I don't like the auditions either Dee, it is all so staged and set up to humiliate people, some of whom look like they have serious mental problems

Its like a soap opera now, everything is scripted I think we learned from last year how scripted and incredibly bias it is. Talking about last year, I've been on DS, "chatting" with another fm about Leona ;D

lol Dee, you don't mean Leona's biggest fan from your site last year do you? ;D It was in the papers yesterday that Nicky has already released a single years ago through Pete Waterman but it bombed, so it just seems to be a repeat of what we had last year, rather than raw undiscovered talent, plucked from the streets. What's the betting Emily isn't just an average 14 year old. I don't like the idea of 14 and 15 year olds competing either Kim, as I remember when the judges said Shaun and Trevor weren't ready at 16, so how can 14 and 15 year olds be? Also what if they won. What about their education? Have the judges not thought this far ahead. It's silly.

They don't care about all that Caz, they just think of the money Tbh I don't think anyone Nikkis age and with a voice like that would ever be "undiscovered", they always have some history, they should let us know in the 1st place and it wouldn't bother us so much

lol Yeah Dee, I see what you mean. If it isn't the same person, it's quite worrying to think just how many people just like him are about after reading that thread. Totally obsessed with her.

The only people that stood out for me on Saturday were the good looking lad called Andy from Wales, the other good looking lad from the Army and Paris. The lads definitely have the likeability factor, and good voices, I hope they both do well. Paris imo didn't sound as good as she did last year, but there's no denying she has a great voice. I think she will go far as well. lol I also quite liked the guy the judges said sounded like Julio Inglesias. I thought he had quite a good voice and was likeable, even if Simon didn't agree. ;D

Nobody really stood out for me this week, the 2 guys were ok but not brilliant I also didn't think Paris was as good as she was last year and it really makes me wonder if Simon lowered the age limit just for her I just hope they get some good ones in the next couple of weeks otherwise this is going to be one average show

I must admit Dee, It did cross my mind that they had lowered the age limit just for Paris, as I think it's a given that she will make it into the live shows, and I wouldn't be surprised if Simon's people had rang her up to make sure she entered this time. It all reeks of a set up.

I felt for that poor 14 year old who liked Shirley Bassey, who they wouldn't put through last night. I thought she had quite a good voice, and definitely could have improved given the chance. That was down to Simon and Danni saying No. They have put through a lot worse. I also felt for the group at the end who were sisters, and man and wife, and I didn't think they were that bad either. I thougt they were pretty good actually, and again Simon has to be nasty and say they are only good enough to be carol singers. Then you've got the Japanese woman who liked Simon and couldn't sing for toffee, and she got two yes's from Danni and Louis??? I know she didn't get through, but she very nearly could have been had Sharon joined in with the farce. It just makes me mad the double standards on that show.

Only watched the first part this week as we went to the cinema. The young opera singing boy lives near me. He won an afternoon talent show on BBC2 last year and has sung with G4 - another fix?

My hubby thought he had seen them somewhere else I am sick of the inconsistency though, the show really is laughable! I thought the shirley bassey girl ahould've gone through judging by the crap that they had already put through I haven't seen a winner yet

I had to laugh at the twins who worked at the funeral home, when Simon was telling them how pointless it was that they were wearing wigs and had white faces, when it was their own hair. ;D Besides them looking awful, I did think they had nice voices and sounded good harmonising together. They should have gone through on vocals alone, regardless of what they looked like, imo. I thought Dominic was very good also, and Sam who sang Handbags and Gladrags. The arrogant lad who was slagging off Shayne and Leona had a good voice as well, but the public would hate him. He's got too high an opinion of himself, and even though he was good, he's not a patch on Shayne. The woman with the short blond hair and glasses who sang the Whitney Houston song had a really nice voice I thought, but then she sang in too high a key and it went wrong, but apart from the last bit, I thought she did really well, and Simon was bang out of order telling her dad the whole thing was dreadful. But yet the woman in the green tracksuit gets 4 yes's singing and dancing to Liberty X "Just a little" and her voice was really bad. What's all that about?
