I thought Sam was fantastic Caz. Not your usual pretty boy/boy band member! His voice was amazing! I really liked him and thought there was something special about him, he's my winner up to now The girl with the green tracksuit on was from Doncaster! Nice person but shouldn't have got through, but then again, half of them that are through, shouldn't be

I thought Andrea who lost her husband 9 months ago, had a beautiful voice. It brought tears to my eyes. She's like a female version of Paul Potts. Hope she does well. I also thought the pregnant woman with no teeth had a really good voice as well, and I think they were a bit cruel putting her through, to then dashing her hopes by saying No. All they had to do if they were that concerned is to say No to her in the next round, as by saying No to her now, they were assuming so early on that she would even make the live finals anyway, when that may not have been the case. I don't think I heard one group last night either.

I agree with you about the pregnant woman Caz, it was cruel how they did it I thought Andrea was ok but I fail to see how someone that sings that kind of music could win the X Factor, I'm also not a fan of that kind of music I didn't listen to her story though, I stuck my fingers in my ears. I'm sick of bubbling at the sad parts ;D

Hi Joyce Welcome back! Yeah he reminded me of Shaun too. The black girl was good tonight, the 17 year old. Tbh I don't think there are that many good ones and think they have their work cut out finding the finalists by what we've seen, especially the groups!! I'm hoping they've kept some secret! Roll on next week, my favourite part, bootcamp!!! ;D

Hi Joyce. I agree that the young lad was a lot like Shaun, but I personally thought Shaun had a better quality to his voice, even though he suffered with his nerves, but yeah you can definitely see the similarities. Aww Shaun was adorable wasn't he? The 17 year old black girl had a realy nice voice, and I also thought the guy who was a personal Trainer who was a Baritone singer really shocked the judges when Simon asked him what he was going to do if it was Abba week and he was given Dancing Queen, and he belted out a really good version of the song. I don't think they were expecting that at all. ;D I am really shocked this time around that we have only seen about 2 groups go through, and they were both females. I look forward to hearing the groups as well. Lets hope we get to hear more from the guys in Bootcamp next week. Happy Birthday Kim. Hope you are having a good holiday.

I'm not too bad Dee. One week tomorrow until my due date. Everyone thinks I'll go over though as my sister was 9 days over with her first, and my mum was 7 days with my sister, so who knows. I seem to have a second wind at the moment. There's no stopping me, the house is well and truly being cleaned, and then cleaned again. ;D Hubby keeps massaging my feet, and insisting I put my feet up. I've never had it so good. I'm sure she is Caz! Lucky thing ;D Happy Birthday Kim:0)) How are you getting on Caz?

lol A bit of both really Dee, excited and quite scared, but I can't wait to see her. Still can't make up my mind whether I want an epidural or just pethadene, so I'll just have to play it by ear and see how I deal with the pain when the time comes. What pain relief did you have with your first, have you had an epidural? OMG Caz, its getting very near! Are you excited? or Shi**ing yourself ;D ;D I can't wait to see some pics of her!

LOL, I had an epidural with all 3!!! ;D ;D With my 1st I had diamorphine and gas & air then I thought, sod that, get me that epidural!! I must say it was good for me, I didn't feel a thing after it was administered, even managed to get some sleep ;D I must be a wimp!!! Just do what you thinks best Caz, try the pethedine first and if its not enough, opt for the epidural. I won't say it doesn't hurt because it does but you'll be amazed how quickly you forget about it, I went on to have 2 more and I'm a wimp!! ;D The joy of having the baby far outweighs the pain.

lol My sister swears by the epidural as well, as she had it with her first, but it was too late to have it with her second so she could only have the pethidine, which she wasn't impressed with, but can you remember how long you were bedridden for afterwards until it wore off and what it feels like? I think I will have the pethidine first like you say, and then decide on the epidural if that isn't strong enough. I have been getting really bad shooting pains down below for the last couple of weeks, and the midwife felt my stomach and said no wonder, it's because all of baby's head is now in my pelvis pressing down on my bladder. My god these pains knock me for six, I have been feeling like I am in labour for two weeks. ;D LOL, I had an epidural with all 3!!! ;D ;D With my 1st I had diamorphine and gas & air then I thought, sod that, get me that epidural!!

Caz, when they gave me the epidural by the time the baby was born it has almost worn off, they did it that way on purpose. So I felt normal straight away, was a little bit shaky on my legs but fine really. I think depending on when they give it you and when you actually deliver depends on how quickly you recover. People say that when they put the needle in your back it hurts but tbh I can't remember it hurting. It feels a little bit weird but I could still move my legs, it just stopped the pain ;D I didn't have any pre labour pain, ie shooting pains or Braxton hicks, my waters just broke and that was it. I was induced the 1st time and that worse than starting by yourself! You'll be fine

Thanks Dee, it does help to hear the GOOD stories rather than the horror ones you always get to hear about. I have to go back to the hospital on Tuesday - (my due date), and then they will give me a date to be induced if I haven't had her by then. Hope she comes naturally. I was really disappointed in last nights show. I cannot believe they didn't put Ryan through who was in the army. At the audition stages they were going on about how good and likeable he was, and yet because he forgets the words he doesn't go through. Gutted. Also why didn't he get the opportunity to be in the "boy band" with the others? That Racquel who they allowed to join the girl group really annoyed me with her desperation. "Can I do something you will remember me by?" She might as well just have given Simon a quickie there and then and be done with it. Didn't like the Moroccon girl from that group either who later gets kicked out for racism. You might know she would be a friend of Charlie's from BB8. The groups are not a patch on last year. I like the 3 black guys, and the male group they put together were quite good, but as for the rest? I also couldn't believe they put through that silly man from the over 25's who kept falling over all the time, over talented singers like Andrea and the wedding singer. That was a complete farce. Even he couldn't believe he was through which shows you how bad he was. I do feel for that Riddien, as Sharon was so unprofessional the way she kept saying she can't stand him and he's so sickly. Who does she think she is. Imagine how his family must feel watching that. No doubt if he gets to the live shows, she will make his life hell like she did with Steve. She hasn't learnt anything it seems. Caz, when they gave me the epidural by the time the baby was born it has almost worn off, they did it that way on purpose.

You know what Caz, I think the whole show has been really poor so far. 1st of all we had to endure loads of pointless singers making fools of themselves during the audition process, hardly any real talent was shown. Then when we get to the interesting bit that is bootcamp, we still don't get to see any talent, just snippets of decent singers rushed through to fill up two programs. Some people that were seen during the audition stages that had shown promise didn't even get featured??Especially Sam, who was one of my favourites We didn't even get to see him. I also don't think they should've let the young black girl go. Yes, she forgot her lines but her voice was much better than some they put through She should've been given another chance There have also been some odd choices with regards to those that got through, especially the Chico wannabee, who sings worse than Chico and hasn't even got an ounce of his personality let alone the likeability factor The judges have shown no consistency at all this year. Ok, Louis & Sharon have always been ones to put some odd balls through but even Danni & Simon have been guilty of it?? During series 1 & 2 it was about genuine talent and you felt you "knew" the contestants before they got to the live stages and had some kind of a bond with them, the past couple of years have focused more on the talentless people and now we don't really know anything about those that make the finals, only how they have been portrayed by their sob stories I am really disappointed with the whole thing, i'd even go as far to say that I think X Factor has come to the end of the road. It was a great idea with a great original format, but they have messed about with it to much and the show has lost all credibility!
