X Factor 2008

Chinafoot

Please let Rachel go! Please!

Handsome Bob

Thank **** Ruth made it through. I had a huge sinking feeling when Daniel got through that she was going to be in the bottom two.

Really tough call between Austin and Rachel.

Chinafoot

I'm not mad about either of them but I think Austin deserves to stay over Rachel.

jaffa20

Yeah, it's gonna be a tough choice but i'd rather see attitude girl go. She's getting on my nerves at this stage.

Cokehead Mother

How the **** did Daniel survive?

Rachel to go PLEASE.

I don't know, I think there is an opportunity in the market for an act like Rachel. There's a sea of acts in the music business no different to Austin. I really hate this "theme night" crap. Why can't they just let them sing to their strengths (because that is what they'd be doing in the market anyway) every week and let the best person win with no complaints that "so and so got screwed over due to disco night"?

I guess the producers think it would make for boring tv. *shrug*

Don't think Rachel's voice suits this song at all.

Yep, it was a very up and down performance whereas it looks as if Austin is giving a very competent performance. Rachel to go home which surely will mean a double blow for Dannii as surely Daniel won't get past next week.

Chinafoot

No fúcking way!

She was crap! He was a far better singer than that wagon.

Huggles

Two weeks in a row, Louis shows his true colours.

Not overly impressed with Austin or Rachel but I reckon Louis got rid of his main threat tonight.

I can understand where Louis and Cheryl were coming from in their decision.

andy_g

:eek: and austin is gone i thought he would still be in next week

Huggles

LOL The second Cowell gets a chance to screw over JLS he will be all over it like a rash.

Its more about the judges feuds this year.

True, she gave a better performance just there. I just couldn't see Austin go much further. Rachel has got more raw talent but she needs to choose the correct songs and smile some more. I get depressed looking at her. She looks so ungrateful even though she keeps banging on about this opportunity of a lifetime.

andy_g

but then again i have noticed this year they are really going after simon haha its mad

Who is that hot blonde that is presenting it.

You don't really believe all that 'judges feud' nonsense?

T'is only drama.

I do think that, although the chap could obviously sing, acts like him come off an assembly line.

I get what you're saying about Rachel. She's not worried about pandering towards the judges so I think she does come across as a bit cocksure as a result.

When I say feud I am refering to the fact that Louis is obviously trying to wind up simon if last two weeks are anything to go by.

Chinafoot

Meh, still hope she goes soon.

Have to say, whatever about the judges, I'm LOVING Dermot's jokes about Louis loving the camp sailors, and all the other references to his sexuality. He gets SO thick!

That in itself is only drama though. It's all loosley scripted for added entertainment.
It's all about the ratings.

Indeed. Isn't it funny how it's never been actually reported that Louis is gay? It makes one think if celebrities do have a choice if they really want to prevent their private lives being splashed all over the tabloids.

Of course they do. And if you want to hide something you just get Max Clifford to become your PR agent like Simon Cowell did

What I mean is that it is complicated. I'm sure if the media saw enough of a story in outing Louis they'd do it. Not every celebrity has the luxury of keeping their lives private if they wanted to, just look at what they made of Heather Mills.

i dont think louis is actually gay. I was obsessing is finding this out a couple of months back because I was convinced he was, but aparently he has a girlfriend!

I know, I was shocked too!

No, he has a boyfriend. And the boyfriend is in his mid twenties. I know his name, age, what he does etc but obviously won't say it on here. All I will say is they look so wrong together. Dirty old man Louis. And Louis is a clever guy, he keeps it all out of the media. How he does it I don't know but he's never had any hassle with the media, he must know them all!

He is gay, not that it really matters tbh. What he does in his own time is his own business.
