Just watched that lovely black girl with her baby singing, and for the first time ever I welled up. What an amazing voice, and so sweet.

Maybe she will be the winner, I really do hope so!! :thumbsup:

I'm shedding tears over some of these Elvisees

:laugh:

I didn't well up when she sang, although I do think she had a wonderful voice. The person that made me well up tonight was the last contestant that didn't make it through last year (Michelle I think).

I wanted to cry through bordom! get on with it!!!!!!!!! :boxing:
Sick of the auditions now.
next weeks is the last thank God and it looks like jack O is going to play his prank, should be good fun, and we get to find out which catagory the judges have got- although my newspaper spoilt it all for me- read it before I realised what I was reading- woud rather not have known until it was on TV

I'm bored with the auditions too. Yawn, yawwn.

But I've got to admit, I got a lump in my throat when the girl from last year got through. I thought she was pretty good and Louis was just being hardfaced. That's not the first time during this series that I have welled up tho!

Oh crikey so did I - I thought I was the only big daft softy watching!

I shed a tear most weeks I have to admit! :blush:


I'm a very sentimental person and sometimes those that don't get through are absolutely heartbroken ...heartbroken and DELUDED! ... but it doesn't make there plight any easier to bear!


I think the black girl tugged at a lot of heart strings by bringing in her little girl, so I think most of us were probably on the brink before she started to sing! The fact that she has a good voice that was quite raw was the final straw! I wept too!

Still don't think ANYONE so far has shown even a smattering of what I would call the X-factor. Maybe with the next round some will shine a bit more. But to be honest most of them are (like last year's) mediocre in the extreme with, at best, only a modestly good voice. No orginality whatsoever.

I laugh til I nearly cry with this show. I find it hilarious and dumbfounding (is that a word?) as to why people would go on tv who cant sing. That guy who sang "teenage dirt bag"????? It feels cruel to laugh but they are choosing to do this.

I'm seeing a whole new side to you Isley!! :thumbsup:

I shed tears every week when watching the auditions, tears of absolute laughter :w00t: it makes me wonder of some of the contestants have no friends or family that are truthfull with them :ohmy:

Tonee - I roared at Teenage Dirtbag one........the auditions are the best part of the show - I stop watching for a few weeks once they have finished!!!

Me and my sis have a friend who ALWAYS insists in singing after we have had a skinfull and she sounds like a wailing banshee, I have been known to tell her she cant sing (must have been the truth drug I took!!), but most people egg her on and then b1tch and slag her off behind her back, which in my opinion is cruel and nasty!

I was a total bitch to my Grand-daughter, but for good reason!:sad:


She thinks she is the bees knees where singing is concerned, and insists on telling everyone she is going to be a singer - that is now all past tense thanks to me!:bag:

She just cannot sing, in fact she is tone deaf, and after her telling me she was going to do the X Factor when she was old enough I knew I had to stop her. So, I taped her singing when she didn't know it on a new digi camera I have, I even talked to her on one bit so she would know it was her singing. Then I played it back, very gently telling her that to get anywhere in that vein she would need singing lessons. I didn't diss her, I let her do that herself, and thankfully she has dropped the dream and is getting back to school studies (which were starting to suffer!).:thumbsup:
X Factor does have a lot to answer for!

I wonder if they edit it so they don't show the really good/special ones very much early on.
So that later in the series it comes as a surprise.

Yes she was great i liked her too, i hope she does well in the rest of the competition, and her little girl was so cute.


The Elvis's :w00t: were so funny but i cringed with embaressment :bag: How could they??? i would rather swim with a crocodile than listen to that lot again.

There is a lot we haven't seen, I do hope that this time someone has the X-factor because no-one had it last time!

The young black girl's voice was fantastic - anyone doing a Whitney song and pulling it off deserves to go through!

I love Sam the big tall guy, he could have a sprinkling of the X-factor but need to see a bit more of him before I decide, but he was lovely with a fab voice! :thumbsup:

I have to say that last year from what I remember the final three in eveyone's group were all very lack lustre imo. Even Steve, who I thought was the best of a medicore bunch, was nothing but a pub singer with quite a nice voice.

Sorry I may be a hardened old cynic but the baby was obviously brought in for the aaaahh factor. I am sure she could have found someone to look after it. Let's tug at the judge's/viewers heart strings with a cute kid to give myself a bit of an edge - HUMBUG!!

You hard woman you ...... but probably totally right :glare:

:laugh: :cry: At this moment in time I feel like both of these. Having been a classically trained singer for the last 30 years since a teenager of 13. I have been plugging away at all musical outlets within reason, (the music industry sadly is a private one everything has to be paid for) and if I can find the next group of essential musicians, I have eventually received the details of a studio willing to undertake on a classical music project through to its finishing stages. Hence your slogan couldn't have been more accurate. Small steps which I have related to individual but small goals so far achieved and some still to achieve may yet lead to great things.

In relation to x factor, the truely talented are still to be found by talent scouts searching provincial theatres, civic venues, some clubs and yes pubs.
I hear someone regularly in my local who is a 100 times better than last years winner Steve. Also the lads in my local theatre group are better than G4. but they lack the confidence to go into a competition. But they also dislike the programme intensely. Afterall, how many weeks, months or years later will you remember any of the contestants for. Unlike the Barbara Dixons of this world, Dusty Springfield, even Cilla were all discovered in clubs.

Just remember that the audiions we saw was only a fraction of what the judges had to sit though. Imagine how board they must have been!
