Posted November 9, 2009 Britney Spears can/could once sing. Dunno anymore. Probably not, but she can pass cause she's so famous and no one cares it seems. I don't know what that means and I don't care to find out. Same Difference were way better than the twins! At least they had a shred of talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 9, 2009 I intend no offence in saying that you, sir, are a complete fucking moron. They make HIV look fun... Comment of the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 9, 2009 Feel the same. I'm actually not fussed about watching it any more. I'd probably say Ollie to win now, but Simon can fuck right off, so John and Edward all the way... lets ruin this show!! Tbf I quite like Strong Again, and No.1 with Tinchy and Dappy (hilarious!) Oh and Tulisa can be pretty hot so... Word. Danyl murdered Purple Rain in front of me. I pressed my hands against the screen, begging for mercy, but it would not come. RE: N-Dubz, just seeing if their album is any good (only know the singles). It doesn't even have No.1 on it? At least that was catchy/good in clubs. I do like the melody of the sole hook in Strong Again. The other tracks I tired I couldn't listen to all the way through. Number 1, there is a special version of on their brand new album. I implore (?) you to listen to their first album Paj Meen Ah. Do it for your brethren. But it's not there fault that there were they are! They didn't put themselves through to the live shows, and they don't put themselves through each week. True tbh. But they're entertaining to me. They look so funny prancing around the stage. Amateurs. Might vote for them next week, seems like they are starting to might go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) X-Factor isn't a talent show, or hardly about music even. It's a lighthearted Saturday night TV show - a bit pantomimey. If people were to remember that they could perhaps feel a little less angry about it. It's just a TV show. Edited November 9, 2009 by Mr_Odwin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There can be no disputing what an awesome find Leona was, and JLS are as talented as any boyband; there's a massive gap in the market for them right now.

Posted November 9, 2009 I am loving the level of outrage over this that's radiating from facebook friends. Completely ridiculous. Just got invited (and obviously declined) to a BOYCOTT THE XFACTOR group. People seem angered that Simon voted to keep Jedward in or something, claiming Mr Cowell and the show have now "SOLD OUT TO THE RATINGS"... Well duh. It's a fucking prime time TELEVISION SHOW. It's always been about the ratings! The only reason Jedward are in the competition is because they're shit (but seemingly nice enough people) and being British we love laughing at the freaks. MANY people tune out from X-factor as soon as the freak show auditions are over so this year they decided to keep two of the freaks in to try and tie down those of us that like lol-ing at them. (Oh, and it's definitely AT them, not WITH, whatever you tell yourself.) Also, the whole bickering between the judges, especially Simon and Louis over the whole thing is so pantomime and staged it's hilarious, can't see how more people don't see through it?! Kinda depresses me though that the people that get so wound up about shit like this are usually the ones who don't give a rat's ass about things that... y'know... actually matter. If only that anger could be redirected! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Safest bet is to avoid facebook at weekends, you'll have countless status' about one of the following: i) X-factor ii) Football results/banter iii) The announcement of a hangover because of the 'messy' night before.

Posted November 9, 2009 If Jedward can stay in because of their funny acts but lack of talent, why can't lloyd stay in because of his looks but lack of talent? On a side note, I dislike all the over 25's, they're all the same in my eyes and bore me. Stacey is funny and good singer. Rachel and Lucie were both great and should have stayed for longer.

Because Jedward are funny. When they come on, you cringe and laugh at them and no matter how shit they are, they PERFORM. Lloyd is just shite, he can't sing at all and he gets by with his looks. Jedward are entertaining (no matter how bad you think they are, you're still talking about them and when X Factor comes on, people say "Oh no, what are they gonna torture this week?".) Whereas Lloyd...he's rubbish, he's not in the slightest bit entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 9, 2009 Why would you go to a Britney Spears show if you wanted "interaction" or "real singing" though? Surely everyone must've known she walked around the stage while her dancers danced and her album played in the background. I couldn't think of anything I'd want to spend money on less, than sit at the back of an arena, see nothing, and then not have the person I paid to see actually perform in any way. (Sure we had this arguement with Haggis when he went earlier this year) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 9, 2009 Why not just watch the video? Or listen to the song. If she is neither singing nor dancing, and you can barely see her, why are you there?! The atmosphere can hardly be worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just because you don't "fancy" him like all the girls in britain that do and vote for him, doesn't mean he has any less right to be in it than the twins. They both entertain different audiences in different ways. Wardrobe malfunction? If you can hear that, doesn't it mean her mic is on and that she's actually singing? I guess it could just be on for when she's talking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 9, 2009 Comment of the week. Thank you for your kind endorsement! After being forced to watch it by two of my housemates a few weeks back, I'm now an addict... Danyl, Jamie or Stacy for the win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just because you don't "fancy" him like all the girls in britain that do and vote for him, doesn't mean he has any less right to be in it than the twins.They both entertain different audiences in different ways. I see what you're saying but to be honest, I didn't like Lloyd's singing in the first place. It sounds WAY too familiar to the likes of Jason Mraz and James Morrison. He's limited in the stuff he does, like he can only sing good when he sings stuff like James Morrison and people like them. I hated the twins as well because they were rude and ignorant and stuff but now I look forward to having a laugh at them. It's not entertaining as in "OMG, they're awesome" but entertaining as in "WTF is Chip 'n' Dale doing on the X Factor now?" But still, I love to see what song they can possibly make cheesy next. Plus I don't take X Factor seriously anymore as it's now turned into a massive joke. Simon Cowell can bitch about Peter Kay's spoof all he wants but he knows Peter has it spot on. Joe is kind of cool and I like his voice but way too much vibrato. If he turned it down, then he'd be great. Jamie Afro...I don't get it. Never have. Again, just like Lloyd, he's limited. He's your typical Kings of Leon singer but other than that, he won't be good at anything else. Dagenham Stace was one of my favourites and she can sing brilliantly. Every song she does is near a brilliant performance but, as Simon pointed out, she needs to move a little more. She could be a winner Danyl was also one of my favourites from the very beginning though I have no idea why people hate him so much. Just because he's confident he thinks he's going to win and apparently he 'bullies' everyone?! I call jealousy because he's a good performer. Also could be a winner Olly was my favourite from Boot Camp. Brilliant performances with no fault in them. Could be a winner. Phew! Well that was fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
