Anyone watching this?

Thoughts.....Rhydian and Niki for finals....... <thumbsup>

Sorry, don't watch it at all.

Used to watch the purposely planted bad singers in the early stages for a laugh but it soon got boring.

The winner and the phone vote is probably a fix anyway.

you are probably not far away from the truth, but thought i'd start a thread in case.....

There were really only 3 decent acts.

Nikki, Hope and Rydian

The rest were all very poor and I think its going to be a pretty weak competition this year.

I think Hope will win, Simon is really pushing for a group to win this year and I think he will manage it.


However in the results show Leona(last year's winner) sang her new single and was a million times better than even those best acts.

They would be the 3 i would have said were the best, but Kimberley was not the worst IMO.

She was quirky and could hold a tune, some of the others were way worse.

I think the reason Kimberly was voted out was due to the changed ITV timetable.

She was the only one who sang before the X Factor was originally due to start, it was changed to give the Rugby Final more coverage.

I think this is what failed her, I thought her performance was better than some of the others and didn't deserve to be in the bottom two, I think if more people had seen her she would have been voted in as she has a great personality.

I agree, and i have to say for reasons i cannot fathom i think she's quite attractive....

Bad job kicking her out. :(

i never saw the first 3 cos i was watching the f1 but i saw the clips and alisha was definatly the worse i thought
my fav was definatly niki and next i'd go for Rhydian even though i can't stand the guy.
when hope where saying about there outfits i thought they would come out i next to nothing, mind u im v glad they didnt

<roflmao>

The winner should be the most talented one, not the one with the best personality.

Agreed, but to be fair if the most talented has no charisma, it's not gonna help sell records eh?

If they can't sing, it won't help either! Anyway...I saw the last 10 mins or so of the repeat, and a lot of the acts are awful. I think this show has run its course.

Didn't stop Shayne Ward...LOL

I do think it's looking tired and dated now, but to be honest if they don't show "Reality" TV what else do they show.????

SOAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<mad>

I have two words for you.

Gareth Gates.

But he didn't win and to be fair i've heard he's pretty good performer live, plays bags of instruments too!

He COULD sing. It was just painful to listen to <roflmao>

aka MC Stammer.....

and I will throw another couple of words to the can't sing debate.

They are

Lexicon 26445B Vocal effects unit. Made the Spice Girls sing.

'can't sting'? Is this the Z factor?

*The STIG sticks a yellow flag somewhere personal on SAFC Fan's anatomy.

<roflmao> <roflmao>

Alisha again gets through in spite of it being a talent contest, i thought Niki , Beverley and Rhyd were way better than the rest tonight.

Why oh why do the judges pause when you KNOW they'll stick with their contestants.....

I only watch The X Factor when I'm round my mate's house, as they seem to like it. Anyway, from what I saw (and what I understand from last week) that that Alisha girl should have been eliminated. Being in the bottom two for two weeks in succession must be an indication of something.

Having said that, Niki and Phantom of the Opera guy (Riddian?? (sp?)) were a bit good!

i don't think there any contestants this year that match up to last years entrants
