another desperate pimp. not boding too well is it.

pretty sure i will end up lumping the first decent contestant, the competition is nowhere to be seen

this is tragic, i'm starting to miss frankie cococzza

Caitlyn Vanbeck's has a strong voice but that much stronger to make her fav? We've had no real indications of any TCO yet AFAIK. She is a bloater, not very commercial imo.

I don't think I listed last Sunday's peeps

Ryan Wilkins, 27 yo, Manchester - We Found Love

Tom 24 and Laura 29, Liverpool couple - Sex on Fire.  SCowell's thought was that Tom should go solo.

Freddy Parker, 18, Ashford (Kent or Middlesex ??) - Love Is a Losing Game

Chanal, 17, Wandsworth - Ex Factor

Matt Terry, 23, Bromley - Stand By Me (loads of family and nan stuff zzzzzzzz)

Irina, 28, Russian based in LA - Simply The Best (silly story about SCowell being fixated)

Sada Vidoo - Love Is a Battlefield (living doll freak)

Marianna Zappi, 34, London-based Italian - Redemption Song, plus sob story about a previous abusive relationship

Nicole's JH for the boys has already taken place this week
with Calvin Harris in the South of France

Louis Walsh has decided on the groups with Alesha Dixon in Ibiza

SCowell yet to decide upon the girls in the States

Likewise Sharon and the oldies in LA

LIKED

Not the best bunch they've had

Ryan with 36k twitter followers and being Scottish would be a positive

If he could sing

"Boys through to Lives are...

Ryan Lawrie. Who went to judges as a wildcard
Matt Terry
Freddy Parker"

What happened to James Hughes?  At the auditions he out sang those three by a country mile.  Did he murder somebody or drop dead or something?

Thought Gifty was quite decent a little bit shouty but a 4 minute audition bodes well.

girl next door trying to be rimmix

5am VT with dermott at ally pally

Poor lads

off with their heads

I didn't know. Change of plan - as nobody watches it maybe we don't want individual show threads cluttering up the forum

But...hopefully it will get more interest in the Lives.

Still early days, much too early to see who could win this...But usually it is easier to see potential winners than shows like Big bro where popularity or other reasons can make someone beat the competition. Xfactor, is mostly all about the singing. And groups don't normally win it.

i'm very glad to not be watching this rubbish but i did catch the last ten minutes of saturday's show featuring the comedy acts and i thought i was watching an rtv mockumentary. amazingly one of the jokers got through

They are showing other auditions on Xtra and maybe more than before. Before it used just to be more joke acts iirc. They never show much of the auditions. It's better this year because it's live - always adds a bit of tension and sometimes a bit of honesty.
