X Factor

Just watching the show from last night now, and can only come to the conclusion the judges have scripted criticism...

[Marky147]

Tamera - decent

Nick McD - decent

Rough Copy - rough as fuck

Sam Bailey - nowhere near as good as last week

Hannah - decent

Kingsland - average at best

Luke - meh

Abi - wtf was that about

Sam - back to the pumps son

Shelley - better hope they commission a remake of your show!

[Chompy]

Shelley, Abi, Luke, Sam Callahan all utterly woeful. Four weeks before we get to anything resembling quality.

[Waz1892]

Just me or is it the biggest irony that the whole show is about finding the next big live artist, yet pretty much every Sunday the "world stars" mime!

So hypercritical it's not even funny

[youthnkzR]

Thoughts on Abi to go tonight at 7/2?

Think its very possible, especially after that horrible performance last night. Im not gonna put you off.

Is that when the new contestants are brought in?

[youthnkzR]

I know it would make a lot of people on here pretty unhappy if it happened but Hannah next elim @ 300/1 surely worth £1.

Not sure if she will go through but thought the bottom 2 betting was v odd on Betfair. the obv options were shortish but any other combo was way short. Someone knew she not getting many votes

[Marky147]

I watched both of them tonight, well I skipped through a fair bit and just listened to the songs/comments.

Is there some coup going on behind the scenes this year, so that the acts don't get mugged off too badly in public?

It's like they know everyone is pretty tez, so they're trying to convince themselves and the public that all the acts are deece

A couple of them are decent enough, but it's just embarrassing how weak this line up is...

Tamera is alright, but looking like Beyonce is about all she can hope for!

[scotty2hatty]

Completely blows Tamera's performance away, not even close.

[JaffaCake]

I love watching LA Reid listening to music.

Somehow this girl didn't make the top 16 but was then given a second chance and ended up winning. Funny ol' game

[Marky147]

I know right, Scotty. Just a different gravy isn't she!

Yeah, love LA Reid!

This guy was quality too, love Simon's boat when he tells him what he's singing



Plenty more LA in there for you Jeff.

This Hannah that chompy is on, is it the bird that sang the emelie sande song? If so, just watched it, after dreenie put it on fb, and she is terrible.

I'm on her too, but the more I hear, the less I like.

I said yesterday that I think the judges all have instructions to talk up every act, because I can't for the life of me have any of the comments being given out!

That Sam is about the best, but she's not great, and that Tamera is just average imo, and the whole reason I couldn't understand Tighty and Claypole going nuts over her.

Cowell is supposedly back on the firm next year, but unless he's flying 100m people back with him, it's done and he might as well just stay over there.

[BigAdz]

I have a lot to thank this series for.

I was starting to act like an old man and stay in far too much on a Saturday night. After 2 weeks of this dross I got my mojo back.

It has to be pre determined what they say each week. Rough Copy were awful and missed every note yet you could almost see Nicole look to the side as she swallowed her words and said what a great performance that was. Luke getting better every week, wtf!

Tamera and sing Whitney or Beyonce every week and still win. At some point Screwbo will have to sing something not from the Nineties and will sound like the cabaret singer she is.
