X-Factor

Aurther Hugh

Not seen this yet but plan to settle down to an episode tonight. Just wanted to know, have the Irish auditions that took place last summer been aired yet, if so what were they like. ? I heard a buzz that various members of six and other regional boy bands have out themselves up for the gauntlet, could be interesting. Any talent so far ??

Dont think the auditions in Dublin have been aired yet.Did u see it tonight?That 16 year old was excellent.I cant believe the amount of people who waste their time auditioning in xfactor.Some of them where sooo crap like that old lady (was on tonights eposode)what was the point of her doing that?no point

i'm loving the show so far. i think simon cowells honesty is both refreshing and entertaining.

I don't normally watch these types of shows but this is really entertaining to watch if only to watch Simon Cowell's reactions to the crap people who actually think they can sing. His comment on tonight's show that one of the contestants should dress up in drag because he looks like Julie Andrews was hilarious.

I am absoultely appalled by Louis Walsh - he has no idea. He seems obsessed with letting crap go through and saying no to some of the really good acts.
The majority of the Dublin auditions shown last week were crap and yet he kept wanting to put them through just because they were Irish. It was pathetic.

I saw the brunette one from Six, Sinead I think, in cork on Friday. She looked kinda skanky.

It was so funny last night when Sharon poured water over Simon's head. I was so astounded by her bravery.

Also, the woman in the wheelchair was really emotional. I'm glad they let her through, but they might've done it for sympathy.

I wonder what group each of them will be mentoring? It'll be interesting to see who gets the 25 and over!

Anyone see Red Hurley getting rejected on the Dublin episode last week? They only included his reaction in the losers montage at the end, with Sharon saying "You're just not what we're looking for". He looked gutted.

Next thing they'll have Joe Dolan auditioning...

I missed it this week alas but I've found these early rounds to be enjoyable, just so we can see Cowell, and occasionally Sharon, rip into them. Did anyone see the first one where there was right arrogant **** who got very agressive with them and then started to insult Sharon's kids? She was ready to rip his head off - it was class! Almost as class as seeing Dublin's Mankind get shredded

Yeah, wasn't that the rap guy that thought he was Eminem? Total crap, and he just wouldn't leave. They told him he was crap, thanked him for his time and asked him to leave and just went on and on. Then he started on Jack and Kelly Osborne, I thought Sharon was going to get up and punch him. That would have been funny.

I saw a brief clip of that arse hole with the blond mullet standing in the line one episode... Anyone remember his name.. You know! the bloke from you're a star with the blow-up guitar. I know Louis really hates him so wandered if they've showed his audition yet or if they even let him in. I think his name was Brendan or Branden....

**** Brendan KILKENNY ****

They have yeah, I think it was ep 2 or 3
My girlfriend watched this show... :eek:

I'd like to see something more original like G4 win but I doubt they will. I'm going to go with 'Voices With Soul' to win because, if I remember them correctly, they had good fun personalities to match their act.

Aurther Hugh

Couple of Irish people in the final line up. Is anyone watching this ? Care ? They seem quite good to me . As for the judges, Sharons a bit limp and I get the feeling Walshe is winking at me down the telly.

PullMyFinger!

Its good telly, kinda soap opera meets pop which is what Simon (his new production company are behind it) is aiming for no doubt.

The 35 year old lad is the only guy Im rooting for at this stage. Out of 50,000 applicants they've made a mess of the final 9 :eek:

Being from Sligo, i hope Tabby does well! Seen him plenty of times with Petronella..

But i'd like to see that opera foursome, G4 win! (maybe not with their rendition of Radiohead's 'Creep' though)

JBoyle4eva

My faves are:
16-24: Tabby
25 and over: Rowetta
Groups: Voices with soul

SprostonGreen

I couldn't believe it when I saw Rowetta from the Happy Mondays on this program. Havent seen any of them sing, but I know Tabbys brothers very well, so I hope he wins.

Why is the poll closed so early?!

Steve is getting better every week.

Is there going to be a new poll for this week now that "2 to go" are gone?

Thank god they are gone they sounded like two pigs squealing. well you're man wasn't too bad but yer wan.... oh sweet jesus divine.

Basq

Think it's between Tabby and Rowetta, to be honest!

Being a Sligo man myself, am hoping Tabby does the business!

If i was betting man.... Out Saturday is Voices With Soul, then Cassie, then Steve, then G4. Tabby and Rowetta in the final. Result too close to call... but the British seem to be behind Tabby. So, Tabby to win!

Basq

I'll post an updated poll with who'll left and let us all know who you think will win - everyone please fill it out!

Steve's a ponse!
