X Factor

Katie... is it Katie Waissel, Katie Vogel or Lola Fontaine?

Storm.. he looks like the kind of person who maims insects for kicks. I wouldn't want to be trapped in a lift with him when the chips were down - ie around nowish.

I have to say that this years crop are particularly awful. I thought Matt Cardle was going to be 'the talent' this year, but it appears his voice doesn't really work when amplified and put to a backing track, which is an unfortunate disadvantage when you want to make pop records.

Last week we made the mistake of cutting straight from the XF straight into a performance by Cee Lo Green & his band on Jools Holland - and came back to musical reality with too much of a bump.

Still, hearing X-Factor announcer Peter Dickson attempt to apply his trademark showbiz gloss to the name 'Grimshaw' is well worth tuning-in for.

Ha ha, yep, had the same thought.

I find it amazing that Irish viewers can vote this year and by amazing coincidence there's a strong candidate from Dublin in the finals. Weird, almost as if it were designed that way...

[*Bob*]

I can assure you that neither Simon Cowell nor his production team have in any way influenced the decision to carry a candidate from Dublin this year - all contestants have been selected solely by their mentors and on a basis of merit and talent alone.

[Loz]

'Grimshaw' needs emphasis - that boy has 'serial killer' stamped all over him.

[*Bob*]

We call him 'Fat Legs'. Check 'em out next time you see him. They really are quite fat.

TERRORISTS. Attacking the X Factor studio is a great way to gain my support while fulfilling your hatred of Western society

CONVINCE friends you're an X Factor contestant by wailing in their face once a week for a month & then disappear.

Look, if you're going to play, then you're going to have to try and do better than this.

Have you tried YouTube? The comments section there is very popular amongst remedials - from all over the world.

[Tarot]

Well if you have tried it Bob .I;ll have a look at your contributions to it.

[*Bob*]

Honestly - you should give YouTube a go. You can say what you like on there - the more stoopid, the better. Wanna bang on about Muslims, Gypsies etc etc? No problem! They love it. You'll be right at home! Neither spelling nor punctuation - or even sense - are required. In fact, you can just lean on the keyboard with your forearm, post it - and you'll probably get a standing ovation!

You were born for it.

Alas, it's an early bath for me tonight - but don't let that stop you. Enjoy the next hour. This is your time to shine.

I look forward to it. Goonight, sweet prince. *Mwah*

[Tarot]

Was that a flounce Bobby, Not sure about the sweet prince thingy, dont forget to wash your behind your ears.

[Pearson]

^Oooops, come on kids...bed time for the both of you!

tsk tsk :P

Charlie Brooker's imminent screen burn retirement has him dishing up old columns nostalgically.

This one on Pop Idol proves the old plus ca change adage

and juuuust in case anyone is willing to believe that X Factor Judge == talent, here's a reminder

No need to do one for Cheryl, I'm pretty sure it's self evident.

[*Bob*]

Ahh.. I feel slightly nostalgic for the the days of Pop Idol - Pete Waterman was excellent value.

It was like having an unfashionable Granddad on the judging panel - only an unfashionable Granddad who managed to get his music out on half a billion records.

[Ted Max]

Nikki Chapman and Dr Fox. Nasty Nigel.

So long, long ago.
