I usually lose interest by the time it comes to the live shows, but this year actually has good contestants! Is anyone else watching?
My favourites are Laura, Austin and Rachel...

Same, I normally get fed up after the auditions, but it is great this year. I am loving Diana the most at the moment....

Laura or Alex to win. I do like Austin too.
This year's artists are sooooooooo much more talented than last year's contestants imo.

Yeah! the damn hand movements! lol but i love her though, love her style and everything - one of my favourites

Other favourites are definitely Laura, Ruth and Rachel. I'll be happy if any of those wins.

Oh yh and i forgot Alex....it's gonna be tough this year they're all so amazing!

Re: X Factor 2008, anyone watching?

I love X Factor too, I always watch the whole thing every year! My favourites are Austin, Rachel, Alex, Laura and JLS. I'm not too keen on Diana as I find her a bit annoying but that's not to say she doesn't have a gorgeous voice. I agree, the hand movements are off putting lol. Ruth also deserves more credit I think - she has a great voice and her rendition of Purple Rain was just amazing!

Re: X Factor 2008, anyone watching?

I always watch it. I have no life
My favourite is Alexandra, and I think JLS should stay until the end as they're the only ones doing something up-tempo!! I think Diana has a gorgeous voice but I can't watch her. I feel uncomfortable with all the face touching and hand movements.

I think Laura and Rachel are overrated!! Rachel out next please because not only is she overrated... she forgets her words and has a pretty rubbish attitude.

Daniel is only getting through on the sympathy votes, and although Eoghan is cute with a cute voice, he's not good enough to win IMO. Same goes for Ruth - I like her, she's just not good enough to win. I didn't like it when she sang Purple Rain. She sounded like she was singing Pot Pourri

Austin was robbed last night. His final song was amazing. Rachel should've gone.

You can see I've thought about this

Austin WAS robbed.
His voice is actually quite different from the typical pop idol/x factor guys.

As for Daniel - go away.

Re: X Factor 2008, anyone watching?

I know that what i am about to say doesn't have anything to do with this thread but i just wanted to ask if you guys have seen the audition of Ant and Seb, i thought Ant had a good voice and he could've gone through, too bad Seb's preformance ruined it for him

Also, Rachel "holistic vocalist" kind of freaked me out.

Back to the subject..

Are those the guys that sung Mysterious Girl?? I agree, the 'rapper' ruined it for the other guy. And the holistic girl frightened the shit out of me!

YES, they are the ones!!! Ant and Seb or dare i say what Simon called them, "Ant and Deaf"

Did you watch it when they were waiting for the judges to leave and Ant started singing to Simon but he just walked away?

I'm so mad they voted Austin out....wth is the old guy still doing in there?! I'm sorry but imo Austin is much more X-factor quality than the old guy (i don't even know his name lol).

As for favourites, i really like all of them, it's hard to choose only one..

Yeah, that came through lol

I agree with you that Daniel (that's his name lol) is only getting through on sympathy votes, which is really unfair on the other contestants. Poor Austin, he had quite a chance of winning the X-factor but he was robbed

And yeah, Eoghan's cute but nowhere near good enough for X-factor.
I disagree about Ruth though, i think she's amazing!

Re: X Factor 2008, anyone watching?

Laura went home????
Why are all the best singers getting eliminated?
They should just stick to the original pop idol/american idol format of the show - all this stupid mentors business makes it more about the judges than the contestants. And they all vote tactically, so what's the point.

Re: X Factor 2008, anyone watching?

rachel nd daniel are definately the worst 2 left in the competition yet im kinda glad laura went i jst cant stand her voice! like when she was in the sing off when she started its just this big OTT warble... not loving it AT all

diana was ill but i think its unfair that she just automatically gets to go through to next week :| her voice i think is quite similar to lauras so she could of easily been out aswell.

anyone watch the xtra factor after the results? it showed that diana was out on bonfire night with the rest of them shouting and screaming hmmm
bit odd i think

i think the theme nights are daft cos a lot of them just wont suit say like a mariah song cos u automatically compare it to mariah and they sound so much better when they get to pick their own genre

mariah carey was also v odd she just seems so FAKE which is no suprise lol

just watchin a bit ive missed and the diana bit showed her in bed with a full face of makeup erm if im properly ill the last thing i wanna do is put make up on :|

nd as much as i like cheryl she was talkin rubbish when she said she has flu.. erm no u dont lol u dont even have a cold :|

i like JLS, ruth, alexandra but i dont think any of them are 'winners'

I totally agree with everything you wrote there. Rachel is just awful, isn't she?!

Yep, I saw that too!! Perhaps if she wasn't out screaming on Bonfire night, she could've sung.

The people in the bottom two always, always sing better - because they've chosen their own songs and genre. Ruth is a rocker at heart and she is amazing when she picks her own song.
Theme weeks are to show the finalists' versatility, which I think is daft because if they win, they're going to stick in their comfort zone and release songs from their genre. Still, it's a bit of fun I guess.

I love love LOVE Alexandra, and as long as I can't see Diana, I like her too

Re: X Factor 2008, anyone watching?

Ive had it, im boycotting x factor...


until next week lol.

but seriously, its getting a bit silly now. Its no longer about the contestants. Daniel should not be there. I do not think that its fair on the others, or him. He is never going to have a proper career out of this, I dont think he will be no 1 or make it to broadway.

He is taking someones space in my eyes. Hes gonna have a few christmas albums selling for cheap at asda and possibly be representing england for eurovision... thats it. Laura can have a career. Im so angry... grrr

huff huff

This sympathy voting system is bull. Its robbing great singers (Austin, laura) of their chances and the judges are punks for letting their personal reasons affect their vote (I assume)

I reckon they voted laura out because she's a biiiiig threat.

*can you tell she was one of my faves lol

aaaaaaargh!!!!

Re: X Factor 2008, anyone watching?

Ok so last Sat was the first time I've watched X-factor this year and even I had to admit that the bottom two were the wrong choices! Diana should have automatically been there and I think Rachel! Her performance was poor!

As for Ricky Gervais aka Daniel, why was he put through at all?

...Did anyone notice Cheryl tell Danii to eff off when she went to hug her after Laura was voted off!? That tickled me something rotton! LOL

im glad other people think daniel shouldnt still be in...x factor is blatenly fixed or else he would have gone ages ago. they keep him in because hes controversal and one of the first things ppl talk about when they discuss x factor.

i cant believe laura went!!!!!!!! and austin!!!!

i loved rachels rant in the v.t it was so funny! good luck 2 dannii with her haha

Re: X Factor 2008, anyone watching?

Rachel's performance WAS poor, but even at her worst, she's vocally better than bloody Daniel and Eggnog or whatever his name is (the boy basically), put together. She just needs to fix up. I think that either she's too aware of how much winning X Factor could help her out, or she really just dislikes Danni lmao.

As for Diana...she was obviously gonna be an epic fail singing Mariah (not saying she's not talented though).
So I thought it would have been fair to just not vote anyone off this week???

Oh, and does anyone else agree that they're hyping JLS too much? Their vocals are really poor, but I guess they'd be an easy sell.

Re: X Factor 2008, anyone watching?

omg how did i miss this post?!

Saturday was pathetic... Laura out? Thats just wrongness, she was my fav - I would buy her records. Austin too... WTF.

JLS, Alex and Diana are ok too, the rest need to go. I cannot stand Ruth and its off putting seeing her get her t*ts out each week for Simon and Louis to gawp at. Theyre the only things keeping her in, the public clearly dont like her, shes been in the bottom two twice now.

Louis only got rid of Laura cos of what the lush Cheryl said to him abt Westlife and also he thinks Laura is a threat. I wonder if her elimination had anything to do with the fact that she is dating the X Factor producer. But her voice was amazing, I hope she gets signed up and becomes a star.

Diana - hmmm, laryngitis?!?

I love Alex's MU each week.

ruths gonna be the red dress wonder now after big band week and mariah week...i forsee a billion red dresses in her future on x factor!!

i love diana but i want to duct tape her hand to her side when she sings!!! lol
