I know, ihateit ihateit ihateit. But sucked in again....wwwwaaahhhh!!!!


What was Louis thinking bringing in crazy lady, and why did she leave?


And the wee little norn irish girl. The last thing in the world that she needs is a record contract with Siom Cowell's putrid dross producing record label. I was really hoping, for her own sake, that she wouldn't make it through!!

Crazy woman left because she didn't want to be another Wagner apparently (I saw it on the interweb somewhere, please note, not in Heat magazine).


What I hate about this programme is the idea that this is all they have in the world. Music is their WHOLE LIFE, but they've never written a song, or sung live, or joined a band in their WHOLE LIVES, but it's everything, it really, truly is. And that their day jobs at which they work hard (or don't) are meaningless and somehow demeaning, whereas pawning their ass for a set of new teeth and the chance to be found wanting by 8 million people every week is an uplifting life chance. Wake up suckers, you could be the next Joe McElderry.


Anyway, as I say, I'm looking forward to the live rounds. Especially now Dr Who has finished.

It's reflective of the desperate situation that the youth of today & conversely the ageing wannabes find them selves in.

Desperation and fear reads large in the eyes of the contestants.


" I don't wanna go back to where I've come from " ( the biscuit factory, care home, my old life )


" I want new teeth/exploiting/obscurity "


" I wanna be anything but nothing "


Which is why I'm compelled to observe this exercise from N-Z (nadir to zenith)



Nette:)

I don't think I've ever got as worked up over X Factor as I did last night. Louis Walsh, honestly. And Sinitta, why oh why is she on the show every year as an "expert"?! The over 25's category is turning into more of a freak show every year... although I do think that the tall skinny bloke would be better as a drag act!


The Scottish girl should have gone through, not the little Irish girl with a voice nearly as annoying as Diana Vickers.


On the plus side, I very much enjoyed watching the Robbie Williams/Gary Barlow banter on Saturday night. They might be getting on in years but by god they're sexy ;-)

Overaged freak ("OMG look!!... but who'd-a thought that voice...")- tick


Cute Celt for the Irish vote ("And the people of Omagh have something to cheer about tonight...") - tick


Hastily assembled group ("Will Tulisa's gamble pay off...?") - tick


Pre-pubescent looking boys/girls ("girlish sigh/boyish lustful moan") - tick


Bitch ("Tell her not everyone's against her... of course she'll swallow it, she's desperate") - tick


Chunky chap and lass ("That'll give the pie-eaters someone to cheer for") - tick


Black girl/guy ("We are so inclusive") - tick


Non-starters to be evicted in first weeks ("Put them through, they won't be around for long") - tick.


Autotune on standby, decide who will feature most heavily in M&S Xmas tv ad campaign, and we're off...

I really like the Irish girl though (Janet) and think Kelly got her choices right. I have no idea what planet Louis is on as usual. I think the girls are the group to beat and I actually think the groups might turn out to be quite good this year as well. Just happy to see most people can sing tbh.....think that's an achievement in itself compared to previous years.

The fist few weeks does make me look when all the freaks are on, and they have no chance of ever winning a place.

Then there are the losers that show their true personality when they realise they have failed.

If you look back now how many do pass and make a it to become famous.

If I were one of the judges, I would have the old fashiond Flap in the stage where they performed, instead of a judge waving the music to stop, a lever could be pulled and the contestant could be without any arguement dispatched to the outside Wheelie Bin.

  • 2 weeks later...

Hurrah..


The freak show returns X-Factor is on tonight.


Log fire, whole family on the sofa & a slow cooked something from the oven.


It's a joyous thing to behold.


Who'll be in or out, well frankly who cares.


I just love the occasion.


Oh that, plus the warm glow of knowing the "Fox" has gone.


( and wondering "what will otto buy" )

Sadly watching XFactor USA as well (record them on Sky Plus and fast forward the adverts for both series) - the US crowd are far far superior to the UK lot and you get a better judging panel including the great Simon Cowell. Want Johnny as a 'stick it to the judges' Wagner vote for UK otherwise don't really care.

I thought last weeks show was great and last night's equally as good. Can't decide if it's because the acts are better, or the panel, or both. For me the biggest talent is Misha Bryan, but Janet Devlin is good too. The suprise for me is Rythmix - they are getting better and better and at last....a UK girl band where everyone can actually sing!


Think NuVibe will go tonight.

Here we go with the sob fest! I'm quite relaxed about who goes, there were so many yesterday who were a bit ordinary, karaoke-stylee. I like Marcusthehairdresser and Misha B (Misha to win?). The Risk and the girl group were quite good too. I don't think Jonny will go, don't they fix it so the comedy crap acts stay in for a few rounds?


Edited for rubbishosity.

It's not as good as last year, yet - because Matt was so bloody good singing all those girl songs and Cher was the breathe of fresh air that kept it alive as a competition all the way to the latter stages. Cher made it interesting last year.


Marcus to win....if Gary Barlow starts giving him the right Motowny/Soul songs.

To be honest....



That Franky fellow is ...well "crummy" if you ask me ( and I don't like those trousers much either )


And Craig's developing singers tic's already, so he'll be off, back to the biscuit factory soon.


What's the big girl called, anyway, not digging her much or scary lady/weird brow-head. Way too scary.


So that leaves Marcus, who quite frankly nearly fell apart waiting to see if he's through.


Then Mischa B, who's a cross between Grace Jones & Lady Ga-Ga & goes from strength to ( x-factor ) strength


Have we missed anyone..? Oh yeah "Pub & Red Head Girl" she's/they're so very sweet.



As for the judges...well.. man-lady-up.


It's show time boys & girls and we want blood/sweat/tears.


Show us your pain.


( see Downton Abbey, they know just how to do it )

    • Anything that improves the front of the station has to be a good thing. Opening up the square in front is a superb idea, it will show the beauty of the architecture of the station, just as they did at Kings Cross when they ripped out the monstrosity of the 1960's frontage and now the station gleams. People probably go there to see the beauty of it. Now wouldn't it be good if once opened up and cleaned up, people visited to see how wonderful it then looks. I guess there is a generally lack of trust that the station square will open by the end of next year, HOWEVER, when the current frontage is removed and the square is opened up as it originally was it will look grand.  
    • i) You must think Liebour can do no wrong, can lie through their teeth and yet you appear to believe every word Starmer and his stooges utter. ii) More assumptions made by you, well guess what you're utterly W R O N G, seems like that's your first trip, just as I predicted.  iii) and you won't be blaming me old man. Shockingly, I actually have to agree with some of the points you've raised.  Reform are the relics of BNP and UKIP, both detestable so add them together and you get an even worse result which is Reform that the UK can do without. 
    • Farage has done nothing but divide and diminish this country, all in the name of his ego and his bank balance. Brexit has made us poorer and has damaged our influence in the world. He supported Trump who is directly threatening our interests and he supported Liz Truss' disastrous budget. He has done his best to ensure our country's decline and now people too proud to admit their mistakes and the deleterious impact of UKIP / The Brexit party / Reform Ltd are again voting for him to finish the job / nail down the coffin lid. Yes, he is a plastic patriot.
    • You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were  briefly made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again.
