whos watching? what do we think of the auditions so far?

by **TeamRebeccaF** Mon Sep 05, 2011 8:12 am

I am :-) love love love the judges think there great :-) the auditions are good, what does my head in is that the judges of x factor and britains got talent have all said the talent in Liverpool is unbelievable but when they show it on the Telly they show it as if we are really bad, winds me up it does but the auctions have been good the judges have been great and told people straight how it is, the talent itself my not be as good as last year but it going to be hard to try and beet it really is in it but the show it's self is great love it :-) x

I'm watching to see how far Rachael Harding gets She's from Portsmouth and my son knew her at school Loving the new judges

by **shellzbeth** Mon Sep 05, 2011 10:19 pm

I know what you mean Han. Wish they would show Liverpool for the talent we have not the stereotypical stuff we are labelled with.

I am loving the show this year. The new judging panel is a refreshing change. Just love Kelly Rowland. Very Happy

by Rebecca4eva Wed Sep 07, 2011 4:41 am

Kelly's my favourite Judge this year as well Eric Very Happy

by **shellzbeth** Tue Oct 04, 2011 11:29 pm

I think Gary has a real good chance of winning with Craig and Marcus.

Kelly has a strong group too, think its gonna be so hard to pick the winner

by **erront55** Tue Oct 04, 2011 11:53 pm

It is a hard call this year, but I think the girls and the boys are the strongest.

by **shellzbeth** Tue Oct 04, 2011 11:55 pm

Think the judges are well better this year Smile

by Matt Wed Oct 05, 2011 12:41 am

Totally agree regarding the judges...the other three have not been missed for a second. Gary Barlow is clearly the lead judge, and has taken to the role amazingly!

by **erront55** Fri Oct 07, 2011 6:16 pm

The big twist revealed:-

http://xfactor.itv.com/2011/news/story/read_theme-revealed_item_100094.htm

This will affect the top 16 game which I will now change to the top 12 game and you can still decide up to 15th October.

by **shellzbeth** Fri Oct 07, 2011 9:14 pm

so we can wait until the show has been done this weekend?

by Rebecca4eva Fri Oct 07, 2011 9:37 pm

I'm loving this new twist for X Factor this weekend I wonder if they'll be doing the same in the US version of the show

by Matt Fri Oct 07, 2011 9:48 pm

I suppose they have to do something new to keep the public interested...but each year I can't help but think X Factor is becoming more like a pantomime and less like the singing competition it once was :/

by GARY COLLINS Sat Oct 08, 2011 5:52 am

CRAIG IS AMAZING

by **shellzbeth** Sat Oct 08, 2011 9:04 am

i agree Gary Smile

Rebecca is loving Craig and Marcus is re-tweeting our Team Ferguson link bless him

by Matt Sat Oct 08, 2011 9:22 am

What is Marcus' Twitter please Shell?

by Matt Sun Oct 09, 2011 8:03 am

This is going to be almost impossible to call...this is by far the best year for an abundance of talent!

by Rebecca4eva Sun Oct 09, 2011 11:19 am

The judges are gonna have a difficult decision to make overnight

This year's X Factor is also very interesting. Not sure if it will have a huge impact on me as last years, but only time will tell! Smile

by Rebecca4eva Tue Oct 18, 2011 6:01 am

Apparently Simon's not too happy that viewing figures have dropped this year

by Matt Tue Oct 18, 2011 8:38 am

I'm going to be honest, I'm a little bored with it. For example, this week I recorded it on Sky+ and watched it in fast-forward, just pausing to watch Janet, Misha and Sophie. I didn't watch any of Sundays show :/

by Matt Sun Oct 23, 2011 9:17 am

This show is seriously becoming a joke.

I loved Kelly Rowland before X Factor, but she is fast becoming an arrogant spoilt brat in my opinion. I'm not sure who she thinks she is with her finger waving and attitude.

Also Gary has lost his appeal and charm. What a fool to say "I promised myself I wouldn't lie if I got to sit in this chair...but last week I lied."

I know this is only my opinion, but the viewing ratings are going down fast and I personally can see why!

by Rebecca4eva Sun Oct 23, 2011 3:26 pm

I didn't like the way Tulisa and Louis brought up Misha's supposed bullying live on national television Evil or Very Mad

They are so feeling threatened by her beating their acts

by Matt Sun Oct 23, 2011 6:01 pm

Agreed, that was disgraceful.

Also, I just realised that the black guy from The Risk openly stated that he handed his phone number to a girl while she was with her boyfriend. What a disgraceful thing to do!

Not much honourable about the show anymore...that goodness Rebecca was last year!

by **TeamRebeccaF** Sun Oct 23, 2011 11:41 pm

I agree i didnt like the way tulisa said that but i hated the fact louis used the word bully that was horrible,

I love craig, marcus, misha, sophie and rythmixs this year Smile

by Gee 63 Mon Oct 24, 2011 12:24 am

nobody likes bullying, and if it did take place, then talk to her privately. I'm sure yesterday wasn't the first opportunity Tulisa had to address matter. It could look like an attempt to sabotage her chances of winning. The majority of comments that o have seen very few are in favour of the way Tulisa done what she did.

by **erront55** Mon Oct 24, 2011 12:30 am

I am not a big fan of Misha, but Tulisa was out of order with what she did. I think this may have the adverse effect and people will feel sorry for Misha and vote for her.

by **shellzbeth** Mon Oct 24, 2011 12:44 am

I was shocked at last nights supposed 'bullying' topic. Did anyone watch Misha on The Xtra Factor? she was so upset with Tulisa and Louis. She stuck up for herself and said that this is a competition about music and thats all shes interested in.

Regardless of what went on backstage, it shouldn't be public knowledge and it should be about the music. The only people not making it about the music is the judges.

by Matt Mon Oct 24, 2011 2:13 am

It seems to be becoming a show about the judges...are they using it to further their own interests and careers??

I was just thinking to myself how massively different X Factor is these days to when Leona won back in 2006. I feel sorry for any decent singer on X Factor these days, because they have to battle so much negativity and nonsense.

by **shellzbeth** Mon Oct 24, 2011 2:18 am

I guess though every artist has to battle with negativity in their career and they see it as if they can come now then theyll be able to cope

by Rebecca4eva Mon Oct 24, 2011 7:17 am

The year Leona won was the first series I really watched and it has changed over the last 5 years It has gone from being a credible singing competition to squabbling between the judges and Simon is wondering why viewers are switching off

It certainly is about the judges and self promotion. After Cheryl performed her single last year on the show both her single and album went to number 1, and thats why Simon wanted to bring her to America, he was hoping to launch her career over there as well.

by Rebecca4eva Sun Oct 30, 2011 1:24 am

What a week it's been at X Factor this week Rhythmix have had to change their name to Little Mix as their original name was the same as Brighton based Children's Charity Ashley quit The Risk due to illness and is replaced by Ashford from Nu Vibe and Kelly has quit and Alexandra Burke is sitting in for her tonight

by **erront55** Sun Oct 30, 2011 1:35 am

Kelly has not quit. It is only reported that she is ill.

by **erront55** Sun Oct 30, 2011 2:59 am

Alexandra Burke is guest Judging for Kelly Rowland this weekend. Smile

by Matt Sun Oct 30, 2011 7:38 pm

I just can't seem to get going with our X Factor at the moment. I think it's because I'm watching American X Factor and there is some amazing R&B talent on that show which is right up my street.

However, back to our X Factor, if that idiot Frankie wasn't in the show I think I would be more interested. The worst thing is that they have made him out to be a sex symbol and have brain washed the young female audience into voting for him. Yet in the real world...he's not good looking, he's skinny and he can't sing!!!

by GARY COLLINS Sun Oct 30, 2011 11:52 pm

frankie is awful

frankie or sophie to go tonight

CRAIG COLTON TO WIN

by **erront55** Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:02 am

Frankie is the one that has to go. Sophie is brilliant and also Rebecca's favourite. I hope she stays.

Kitty stole the show for me last night closely followed by Little Mix.

by GARY COLLINS Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:10 am

i loved little mix last night

by Matt Mon Oct 31, 2011 4:40 am

I watched last night s show earlier.

I agree about Kitty...she is a great singer, I can't quite understand why she is so disliked. Also, I really like Sophie. Not sure about Janet right now...she has an amazing voice but I'm not excited by her performances.

I'm not overly fussed about the girl group; for me I've seen it all before thousands of times.

by Gee 63 Mon Oct 31, 2011 5:38 am

For me Marcus, Misha, Kitty and little mix were the best of the night. Last week personally i thought little mix would be in the bottom two, buy yesterday was their best performance.

by Gee 63 Mon Oct 31, 2011 5:39 am

Oh yeah, and why is Frankie still there?

by Matt Mon Oct 31, 2011 9:22 am

Because for some reason, since day one, the producers judges and everybody else connected with X Factor have built Frankie up. He is marketed as a rebellious teenage sex god and for some reason the brain-dead British youth are buying into it Rolling Eyes

by **erront55** Mon Oct 31, 2011 9:36 am

I love watching XFactor, but if Frankie stays another week that is it for me. Another viewer lost. Sad

by Rebecca4eva Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:09 pm

I with you guys on Frankie Can't stand the irritating little so and so I don't want to know about his bedroom antics live on national television when I'm watching with my kids even though they're in their 20s

Was surprised to see Sophie and Misha in the bottom 2

You're right there, I knew that when Gary started to Gush over him, that if it comes down to the judges vote Frankie will get through every time. Plus I've seen Louis from 1 direction has been asking his twitter followers to vote for Frankie, and he has over 600.000 followers.

by **shellzbeth** Mon Oct 31, 2011 11:50 pm

Its sad that young girls these days oogle over guys like Frankie.

Personally i just dont get why he is even in the competition, he can't sing! He wa only picked because hes seen as a 'young robbie williams'. It just goes to prove that the music industry will use people for their personality and not their singing ability.

I know someone has said this before but i am so glad Rebecca is not in this series.

Gutted Sophie has gone Sad

by Matt Tue Nov 01, 2011 12:59 am

So am I Shell...she was a reason to keep watching. I love her voice!
