    I only watched this for the first time properly yesterday, those twins are genius! To youtube!
    If you liked yestaerday you would love previous performances. I completley recomend 'She bangs' from week 3. Anyone that can dance like that infront of 10mil+ viewers.. It wasnt their time to go, they were the X factor.

    I'd report ye for trolling but you've got the poet man helping, so that'd be an exercise in futility.

    EDIT: LOLrus, is epic though :P

    I second the deleting of this thread, whats the point? Who really cares about the X Factor now? Just a load of average idiots that have nothing unique about them singing. The vast majority who just stand there when singing. Why not move?? Your not deserving of being on tv unless you do something? Why dont they go on a radio ainging compettiton if they refuse to dance or walk even? Why is lloyd there? He can't sing at all?
    Gosh these are the questions that should be asked..

    Please, can this thread be locked?? All were doing now is laughing at deise_girl :(

    The thread will be locked when the competition is over, and will more than likely be re-opened for 2010's version of the show.

    For now, I'm going to keep celebrating the fact that I won't have to hear about those pesky kids again :)

    Might as well lock it now. Xfactor is preety much over now....

    I hope lloyd feels so guilty...so damn guilty! :mad:. People say that jedward were taking the places of talented people while overlooking lloyd and his crap un-entertaining self! Nice to see he looked awkward on the xtra factor anyways.. His place in the competition is not deserved :/.

    Yea, im in a bad mood at the moment but who cares....

    Don't worry girls, Jedward are probably leaving to a flurry of TV contracts. We haven't seen the last of the bastards. :)

    And Danyl. Little cocky git. If he didnt like the song choice he forced them to change it for him at the last minute, not caring about anything but himself. Jedward always wanted to please everyone, they have such likability if Simon wasnt being such a cow. He had to admit he was wrong and save some dignity.

    Rateings are going to go right down for the Xtra Factor too. Coz seriously who'd watch it without John and Edwards little comments?

    And, errr, kinda thanks Jumpguy. But the dream isn't tv. If I see a duet with Ant and Dec of lets get ready to rumble I would die a happy person. :)

    I'm going to start watching it now because they're gone. They were the ones stopping me from watching it. Other than them I think it's a truly fantastic show and really well produced. A credit to Simon Cowell and music everywhere.

    Not really, just on a WUM :-p

    EDIT: I've just noticed a similarity between the two little Henry's and a certain fighting game character...

    Do you remember a few months ago I was posting lots of colours?/ well when I knew it irritated poeple I had two posts with lots of colours (it was real pretty) but I was just provoking people by having loads of colours, coz I knew they didnt like it. Of course mine was unintentional.
    So ermm defination. Just provoking people really, isn't it?

    I was going toget it, but i cant even watch their videos at the moment..
    Don't think I could handle that. Im going to make a thread on reality, giving all their videos. The auditions, bootcamp, judges house, lives shows, bottom 2's, video diaries, backstage videos and cooking videos.
    This will have to wait until tomorrow, when im more stable lol

    In religion we were doing something about role models and we were asked who peoples were. I said John and Edward :P Coz they took so much abuse and came back back each week with little grins. We may be doing a poster thing about them for the class, coz I proved my point so well :)

    Just looked at my first coment here, that really changed I did become arguably obsessed with the thing...


    And the thing about Rage against the Machine, aren't they signed to Epic? And Epic is a part of Sony and Simon Cowell is very important in that company. So people who buy the song just to piss off Cowell, well they're still buying a single that hes part of. Not sure if what I wrote makes sense, imping in a hurry...

    But from what I heard yesterday Joe's "he Climb" is second to it by a decent bit, possibly changed by today though.

    Its not about making Sony lose money,its about saying a big fuck off the norm and just accepting what Simon Cowell and co. shove down our throats.

    God damn hippie.

    I think it's fantastic though. Regardless of the anti-X-factor aspect, having that song go down in history as the Christmas number 1 of 2009 is too amazing for words.

    Also, regardful of the anti-X-factor aspect, f*ck yeah! Never got the attraction of those sweeping, fauz emotional "winner" songs (with the classic standing-there-singing-and show-some-clips-from-the-show-every-now-and-then video) that they throw at us every year... I bet there's a key change at the end that coincides with a clip of the dude winning/crying.

    Same old, same old.

    I've heard that song all of once and I'm sick of it. But it doesn't matter how crap it is, it will still get Christmas number one because people like what Simon Cowell tells them to like. Am I the only one who thinks the x factor is a load of balls?

    EDIT-Just read the posts above me......Rage Against the Machine FTW!

    And Killing in The Name of will get to number 2 (possibly 1) because a facebook group told people to buy it. It's also barely better than The Climb. People could have at least chosen a decent and christmassy song like Bob Dylans version of Must Be Santa.

    Yes it's the perfect song to illustrate that the pop charts aren't solely controlled by 13 year old girls....



















    13 year old boys also have a considerable influence.

    Regardless of song quality it's the polar opposite of the X-Factor, but popular enough and well known enough for people to buy it. Even X Factor haters wont buy Cannibal Corpse or Emperor...

    This is okay, but I'll post anyway

    It's not really the polar oppossite of the X-Factor though is it? RATM's music is just as commercialised as any pop singer. I'm not against commercial music at all (I enjoy the X-Factor after all!) but if people don't like the music in the charts they should really just ignore it tbh.

    Well I could argue that. They're both simple, repetitive songs that are catchy. They're similar in structure too.

    Though it is very impressive that it's even pushing The Climb for the number 1 spot. Lol maybe fifa will take the facebook petition over the Henry handball a little more seriously now.:pac:
