The X Factor

[I love music]

I watched last night's show this afternoon. I really liked Tom,the young Welsh lad, and Paige, the guy who sang Man's World. Like the judges tho, I thought Tom's mad dancing was bloody awful (I was thinking What the hell's he doing, ruining his act, when he's got such a fantastic voice?) and I did not like Fly Me to the Moon (maybe because I can't stand the song! ) but loved Man's World.

Hmm, seeing as I apparently know everything, maybe I should become a judge on the X-Factor...

ETA: Oops, sorry, just noticed I posted this in the Australian thread instead of the UK one! *slips quietly away*

Wow! Some bad choices from the judge's on their decisions. Altian is a huge mistake, if he forgot the lyrics at Bootcamp in our version he'd be shown the door, no questions asked. Amanda is Ronan's only real strong contender. Gutted as well over Lazy J and Big Guy - those guys were really good. I was really shocked to see Kyle send George home, I really wanted him to go on and thought he had what it takes. My first reaction was he is being sent home because he doesnt look like your typical popstar which made me even madder!!

It was a waste of time bringing Kelly Rowland on the show, all she did was nod and agree with Kyle, whereas with Boyzone and Snoop they actually pitched in and gave their honest opinions.

I reckon Natalie has the winner.

I agree about Altian, my friend and I were outraged!!! He should have never been in the final six, let alone Ronan's top 3. And I loved Lazy J and Big Guy too but Guy tweeted after the show saying they had to restart the song 3 times, and were always having to restart songs before they got going etc but he got it edited out this time cos he 'didnt want Australia to see them crumble'

Gotta agree on the George point too - straight off the bat he has a different tone of voice and more of an R'N'B style which made him unique to the rest of the boys. I also dont think it was fair for them to say he didnt hit the note with enouhg oomph - it was an acoustic performance and so he wouldnt have belted it out the same as if he were on a big stage. Natalie commented on why her girls ere picking the big songs they were choosing when they only had a guitar backup so... apparently you can't win! Can't say I'm pleased with any of Kyle's choices to be honest...

I think the winner is between Nat and Guy. Mahogany are v. good and if Karizma can get back themselves together, they too could be good. Really funny to think that the groups are really strong, when they never do well in the UK Xfactor back home (bar JLS)!

Agree with everyone about Altian.The guy has a nice voice but that's not enough.What are they gonna do if he forgets his lyrics during a live show?

I think Nat has the winner to.
