It has become crueler, almost a parody of itself


The auditions are almost Karaoke versions of the previous auditions


Eventually it will evolve into a woman with an afro, finger tapping the mic, whilst modulating her range between high and low


And a boy band with guys side stepping in and out of a revolving circle, pumping the words "Wass up, wassup" into a microphone


The judges will feature the Honey Monster and the kids from the Rice Crispy packet, hosted by a Monster Munch & no one will even flinch



Still meanwhile of that, i'm still watching

When does this start?! I can't wait!


Thoughts on this year:


Bringing back 'the room' audition was a good idea. Never liked going straight to the audience of gawping munters and their ludicrous edited-in expressions of UTTER SHOCK - like aliens just landed on the stage and did the hokey-cokey.


My favourite new element is the close-up of 'the finger' sliding the fader up on the mixing desk. Probably attributed to Simon Cowell in the credits - along with everything else.


I think there were actually far fewer cringey comedy entrants this year weren't there? - which I think is down to ITV's heartwarming new policy of excluding the mentally ill from auditions this year.



Not that I'm watching it, of course.

To be fair they're the only two with any modicum of talent, at least as far as tedious karaoke fest competitions go.


I liked Abi too, but there was something horrible about her attempts to appease a format that in no way suited her own talent.


She'll be fine, she won't conquer the world but if she can put out some of her own work with a bit of integrity then I'll look forward to seeing her play at the Union Chapel.

I want to like Rough Copy, but have yet to be particularly impressed by a performance. They seem like good lads though. Sam Bailey is good, but if she wins, she'll never be heard of again. Someone like Hannah may stand a chance of going further if she wins...

They're all a pretty forgettable bunch.

But then I thought that of One Direction, so shows what I know.


Tamera has potential to do well, ie she's young, gullible, malleable, will sign the worst contract Syco offers and is pretty and skinny with a nice bum.

She can even sing, though not convinced that's a prerequisite.

Hannah & Tamera won't win because they don't have enough public support.


I'm still going for Rough Copy to win, Sam Bailey 2nd.


When I said 'fix' I was referring to the bottom two, not the fact that Sam went.


Heaven forbid that Louie goes into the final 4 weeks with all of his acts remaining. So conveniently 2 of his boys were in the sing-off.


Tamera was in the bottom two a few weeks ago. On Saturday her performance was so weak, plus she forgot her lyrics.

Definitely bottom two contender again. Miraculously she escaped.

Simon C has said on numerous occasions that she has the most potential & is the only one of the finalists with a future. As soon as she is voted off, he will sign her up anyway but obviously wants to keep her in as long as possible.


Enough said really.

I dunno, call me naive, but I'd have thought it would be difficult for them to fix the votes after controversy about phone polls a few years ago.


I don't think there are any fixes in x factor.


The fact Tamara forgot her words probably gained her votes. I think before, she was coming across a bit over confident, that nade her more human.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By Sue · Posted

      You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.

      Forest Hill Road Group Practice, Patient Participation Group (PPG), Next Meeting, 6:30pm, Thursday 23rd January 2025

      I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
