It seems that the new panel for The X Factor is Gary Barlow, Tulisa, Louis Walsh, and Katy Perry is replacing Kelly Rowland! ohmy.gif

Posted by: Silas Apr 18 2012, 07:07 PM

Shame they didn't take Louis out to the back paddock and get rid of him...


What's your source for this?

Posted by: Aidan Apr 18 2012, 07:16 PM

Nothing's been confirmed by the ITV yet, but there's loads of rumours that it's true.

Where did you see these rumours? It is common to provide links or a NAME of some kind when you post 'news'.

Posted by: Hitstastic Apr 18 2012, 07:18 PM

Surely the 2012 series will be a big improvement on the disaster that was 2011. laugh.gif

It's April already and Little Mix seem to be forgotton about already. If they don't get a new single out by late summer, I think their X Factor "comeback" where they perform their first proper single will leave viewers thinking "who are these again?".

Tired and tested formulae. laugh.gif

I know only Gary Barlow has been officially confirmed so far. Yawn.

Posted by: Jonjoria Apr 18 2012, 09:03 PM

Louis Walsh has sort of been confirmed...

According to Cheryl's twitter...

QUOTE
Spoke to Mr. Walsh.. And he asked me to post his text as he does NOT have twitter.. #chezzafromtheblockcameouttoplay..

Hello Cheryl !! Princess of pop and biggest hair in the land!!!! Let's call a truce to all this stuff in the press and things that happened ten years ago !! We always had fun on the x factor and I always defended u against the wicked cowell !! We used to have great fun and life is too short u and I always said !! I'm looking forward to your new music and think u shud come on the xfsctor live show to perform !!!! Keep smiling and send me some new product !!!! Louis Walsh still on x factor !!! See u soon hello to lily and blue !! P.S are they really your eyelashes!! LOL xxxxx
But yay for Katy Perry, if it's true! But I get the feeling she could just be for the US along with Britney...

Posted by: ☜★☞ Apr 18 2012, 10:08 PM

I highly doubt if Katy would join a show which is probably on the decline now. I'm sure the other three will all be back and I'm fine with that, I liked last year's panel until Kelly started acting like an icy bitch (really not a good look for her).


Posted by: Johnkm Apr 18 2012, 10:10 PM

I'd happily have them all f*** off, except maybe Louis. Katy would probably be a bit BLAND if she did go for it (which I doubt very much) and that's the last thing the panel needs.

Posted by: Jason Apr 18 2012, 10:30 PM

Katy Perry bland? No!
Isn't she officially single now? She could find a new love in her new work place (UK X Factor). laugh.gif

I just wish they could find another three Louis's!!!!!! Can you imagine - Four Louis's arguing with each other - each trying to find a comedy act amongst their three finalists? They could I suppose get Rory Bremner, John Culshaw and Alistair McGowan to dress up as pseudo-Louis figures!

Katy Perry is not confirmed, well I read it in the Sun paper

Kelly Rowland wants 1.5million to return to the xFactor.

Posted by: Jonjoria Apr 22 2012, 11:12 PM

Haha. She's having a laugh! Tulisa completely out staged her in last years panel. I'm sure Simon will find someone else.

Posted by: Johnny Apr 22 2012, 11:49 PM

Kelly Rowland can get f***ed. Last year was bad enough. sick2.gif

Posted by: Neil Apr 23 2012, 10:25 AM

I liked Kelly Rowland on the panel but seeing as though her album tanked and Down For Whatever was only a 'mild' hit at best I don't think they'll want her to return.

I'm not too sure how true that is. If it is though - it proves that the right sized cheque can easily soothe away any amount of 'humiliation' heaped upon her. Not that I blame her mind! I think I'd do the same thing if the price was right!

Kelly was the best judge last year, she was hilarious, shame she only lasted one series!

Posted by: Jonjoria Apr 30 2012, 09:47 PM

I'm glad she ain't coming back. She seemed to get worse and worse as each episode went on. The opposite to Tulisa, who seemed to get more and more comfortable. Hope Dannii does comeback though!

Posted by: ☜★☞ May 1 2012, 12:15 AM

Good riddance. Kelly was only entertaining during the auditions. It was quite obvious she didn't want to be there by about week 3 of the lives and there were times she seemed almost as passive aggressively nasty as Cheryl.


Posted by: Josh May 1 2012, 01:51 AM

According to Louis Walsh, there are 5 rumoured people apparently being considered... You'll never guess who's one of them laugh.gif

I wish they'd bloody sort themselves out. I am getting increasingly fed up with The X Factor (although I think it's fair to say most people are.)

Posted by: Liаm May 2 2012, 05:55 PM

Oh please god don't let it be Mel B mellow.gif Having watched the Aussie X-Factor, she was an abysmal mentor, all her acts were gone before top 5 (her best girl came 6th), with her losing two acts in as many weeks in the first two weeks laugh.gif She had arguably the biggest talent in a girl called Christina Parie, but threw her under a bus with some of the most awful song choices I have ever seen, and she was just a bitch overall, to both the contestants and her colleagues. Ugh.

Posted by: Hitstastic May 2 2012, 08:14 PM

Mel B is living proof that fame really can go to your head. She was always my least favourite Spice Girl. sleep.gif I saw her once on The One Show (Adrian & Christina era) and they were talking about something quite serious with another gurst, and when they asked Mel B for her opinion she was just an airhead and clearly didn't understand anything they were talking about. laugh.gif

So she'd be perfect for The X Factor UK. biggrin.gif

Posted by: Lukuzz May 2 2012, 09:11 PM

Out of the 5 mentioned I'd hope for Katy Perry, she was great on that one time she did a guest spot.

Nicole was alright but was too nice and not opinionated enough. Mel B I agree is too egotistical. Sharon we've had before and I don't know if Anastacia would be very entertaining (even though I love her music)

Posted by: HausofKubrick May 3 2012, 11:39 AM

Glad Kelly R is off, and ecstatic Tulisa is back for the drama wub.gif

I'd love Katy P/Nicole S to take the new slot!

Posted by: GrAmii May 5 2012, 11:11 AM

Clearly Perry, Mel B or Skankface Sharon as they're clearly going to want to lure back as many viewers as possible in the revolving pantomine that is The X Factor. Perry would bring viewers as she's a big name and crazy, whilst the other two are just batshit crazy. Anybody seen Mel B's Jenny Craig advert? laugh.gif

Posted by: THEO. May 17 2012, 10:26 AM

Dermot has been confirmed as returning as the host; Caroline and Olly are still hosting The Xtra Factor, although Olly will only be presenting from the live shows onward. The first auditions are in six days' time, so we'll know the full judging panel then.

Posted by: Jack May 17 2012, 02:40 PM

I would've preffered Caroline just by herself tbh, she's far more personable and professional. But then I guess Olly's bulge brings the viewers in lmao.

Posted by: BuzzLightyear May 18 2012, 12:17 AM

Surely Olly adds viewers, he's always trending (not surprising considering how many followers he has) while its on and plenty watch it just for him. TV exposure plays such a huge part in sales these days, it's win/win for both parties. Apparently JLS, 1D and The Wanted (who Flack slagged off!) are filling in for him.

Yes, but he's busy touring - I'm sure Simon would've loved to have him on throughout the series....

Geri Halliwell has been confirmed as the first guest judge in Liverpool, with Mel B as the guest judge for Manchester, although there are rumours that Geri is going to be a full-time judge if she's successful during her guest stint.

May 23 - Liverpool
May 28-30 - London
June 5-7 - Manchester
June 11 - Glasgow
June 18 - Newscastle
June 25 - Cardiff

Posted by: ✞✞✞ May 22 2012, 01:37 PM

Geri would be a fab choice. She looks great lately too.




Posted by: Slick May 22 2012, 01:40 PM

I was discussing this earlier. Geri is annoying to the max, but as far as judges go I think they could do a lot worse. I'd be quite happy for her to stay, and she does bring a kind of bonkers (almost Louis-esque) charm to proceedings.

Posted by: ✞✞✞ May 22 2012, 01:50 PM

She wouldn't take it too seriously and get personal with the other judges if they dissed her acts the way Kelly did. I really can't stand the dynamic where two of the judges (Gary/Kelly, Simon/Cheryl) are completely snide and mean spirited and take pleasure in lording their popularity over the other two. Geri and Tulisa both get on great with Louis so I think that line-up would be quite refreshing.


Posted by: Silas May 22 2012, 02:15 PM

Geri does have a proven track record on ITV singing contests having been a judge on Popstars:The Rivals and helped shaped GA. I vaguely remember her being the good kind of hot mess.

Posted by: Jack May 22 2012, 02:19 PM

She was hilarious on Popstars from what I remember. They don't need a big name to help pull in the ratings or a old name, they just need someone who is full of personality and Geri certainly has that. Sharon would be a disaster and as much as I love her Dannii would be nothing new. I don't think people would really take to the likes of Alexandra, Katy etc. either.

Posted by: Neil May 22 2012, 04:43 PM

I would love Geri, I loved her on Popstars: The Rivals (from what I can remember of it!)

Actually, what I loved most about that show is how the contestants would do backing vocals for one another. It was a nice touch.

Posted by: Liаm May 22 2012, 04:49 PM

I reckon Geri would be amazing as a permanent judge! Certainly a lot better than the rumoured Mel B and bloody Rochelle Wiseman.

I also heard Rita Ora mentioned, it was on the front of the one of the newspapers, so bullshit then tongue.gif

Posted by: Lukuzz May 22 2012, 07:27 PM

Geri would be perfection for me. I adore her and she has a lot of credibility, she will need to tone down on the chatter though as she can go on a bit!

Posted by: Aphrodite May 22 2012, 09:45 PM

Geri would put me off the show to be honest.

Posted by: ✞✞✞ May 23 2012, 01:28 PM

GERI IS IN THE BUILDING. (OR ON TOP OF THE CAR.)






HOW can one woman have so much POISE AND DIGNITY?


Posted by: Slick May 23 2012, 01:54 PM

She's either trying to be controversial and wacky deliberately to make them want her (which could go either way for her) or she's learned nothing from her previous appearance.

I hope Nicole does well on her London audition and gets the job permanently. Sure, she wasn't great on the US show but with her guest stint a couple of years ago she was great and looked far more comfortable as part of the UK show than the US one, I kind of get the feeling she feels more welcomed here so has a more relaxed attitude when she is in the UK.

Anastacia was awfully dull on Don't Stop Believin' (although that made The Voice look like Cirque Du Soleil in comparison), but she's still a better choice than Mel B laugh.gif

Talking of Mel B, apparently Gary Barlow really wants to be the permanent 4th judge, GOD NO. Mel, Gary, Louis and Tulisa would be an awful panel... But Mel B is signed up for X-Factor Australia for the new series which last year ran August-November, so would clash with XF UK, and I doubt she'd fly back and forth for XF Aus, especially because I think it was on Sunday/Monday (or it may have been Monday/Tuesday) last year so there's an overlap. Of all the guests, I can't see any of them being a permanent judge tbh, apparently Rita Ora really impressed but she'll be busy with her album so I doubt she'd do it. Then again, so is Tulisa.

Posted by: Ryan741 Jun 8 2012, 08:52 PM

I didn't think it was worth making a new X Factor thread yet, so I'll just post this here:

Nicole Scherzinger is set to sign a Ł750,000 deal to become the fourth X Factor judge and join Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Tulisa Contostavlos on the panel.

Posted by: THEO. Jun 15 2012, 11:04 AM

She was brilliant when she appeared for the first time two years ago, but are people going to take to her after her failure as a judge on The X Factor USA? I'm not so sure...

Nicole Scherzinger set for Ł750k X Factor judging deal
Source: MW
15 June, 2012
By Rhian Jones


Former pussycat doll Nicole Scherzinger has reportedly negotiated a Ł750K deal to complete the judging panel for next year's X Factor UK.

Despite being sacked from X Factor USA after just one season, Simon Cowell has decided to invite the singer back to the ITV1 show which starts airing in August.


Scherzinger is set to sign the deal within the next couple of days, according to reports, with the announcement of her appointment planned to come before the next round of X Factor auditions in Newcastle on Monday.

Posted by: Scherz Jun 15 2012, 03:22 PM

I'm over the moon!
I don't think her time on The X Factor USA will really work against her here..
It was on ITV2, they hardly get the same ratings laugh.gif

It's official:

Posted by: Shoat Jun 15 2012, 04:00 PM

I don't think the USA X-Factor thing will be too much of an issue. Being sacked by Simon Cowell hasn't stopped Cherly Cole. The whole Rachel Crow incident wasn't all THAT prolific over here, so it will only be the ITV2 viewers and internet gays who are even aware anything went down.
And let's be honest, the whole fiasco was an absolute mountain out of a molehill. No judge on the UK X-Factor has ever faced SUCH a backlash over a elimination vote, even the ridiculous ones like Simon Cowell repeatedly saving Jedward. And the US public all too inconveniently forgot that it was their votes that sent Crow to last place.

Having said all that, I can't say the prospect of her joining our panel particularly excites me. She was nice enough, but oh so very bland, and as it is it comes to something when the only personality on your show is Louis Walsh. I'd have much rather they'd have plumped for Geru or Anastacia, who would at least have provided some WTF banshee moments.

Posted by: Mikeyjosh Jun 15 2012, 04:00 PM

She was fantastic when last on X Factor UK, but terrible on X Factor US imo.

She is alright, but after weeks of speculation and all the guest judges... I think it's a bit of an anti-climax.

Posted by: AltheGreat Jun 15 2012, 04:21 PM

Boo! I wanted Anastacia.

Posted by: T Boy Jun 15 2012, 05:05 PM

How BORING. Definitely not bothering this year.

Posted by: Casey__ Jun 15 2012, 11:35 PM

I'm usually pro-Tulisa but, WTF has she been wearing to these auditions?! She looks dreadful.

I like Nicole, but I really wanted Geri to be the permanent judge! sad.gif

Nicole looks like she's got a stain on her dress underneath the belt. Tulisa just looks awful - here's to what's hopefully another carcrash year *raises glass*

Posted by: Silas Jun 18 2012, 04:27 PM

Nice to see that the much needed injection of personality is coming in the form of someone who is also lacking in personality.

Posted by: Hayzayy Jun 26 2012, 07:30 AM

Oh god, I hadn't followed what happened with the X Factor this year and now I see Nicole is back on it. :/ The girl really has no dignity whatsoever, coming back to the UK show after a terrible terrible year on X Factor US and a boot. At least Cheryl had sense enough to quit the show after her US boot...
Well, it's no secret I don't like her anyway laugh.gif

Tulisa never stopts to impress me with her slutty looks, I like her happy.gif

Gary, I hate.

Louis, funny enough but oh damn, it's been far too long now.

Posted by: HausofKubrick Jul 10 2012, 11:28 PM

I'm actually really excited for this line up. Tulisa is my fave by far but Nicole was brill last year and I've always loved Louis laugh.gif

I'll be able to put up with Gary Borelow with the other three now!

Posted by: Ryan741 Jul 21 2012, 10:49 PM

I don't know whether to start a new thread yet for general X Factor discussion, but I'm very happy about someone who has apparently got to Judges Houses again this year!! cheer.gif I hope she makes it to the lives this time!! As long as what I've read is true of course! drama.gif

I really like Nicole too so I'm looking forward to the judges this year. We should find out very soon which judge has got which category as Bootcamp finished today!

Posted by: connor111 Jul 22 2012, 03:11 PM

According to somebody on Digitalspy the judges categories this year are as follows:

Nicole - Groups, Gary - Girls, Louis - Boys and Tulisa - Over's


Posted by: Jark Jul 22 2012, 03:36 PM

If that's true Tulisa has been completely SCREWED, esp since the overs are 29+ this year.


Posted by: THEO. Jul 22 2012, 03:45 PM

That's (hopefully) a lie. They'd never give Louis the boys. My early prediction is Tulisa - girls, Gary - groups, Nicole - boys, Louis - overs.

Posted by: Jonjo Jul 22 2012, 04:10 PM

Why would they not give Louis the boys? He won with Shayne Ward, did he not? I.e. the only year he actually had the boys/girls category. Every other year he's had either the groups or overs.

But if Digital Spy forums are correct then the amazing Carolynne Poole who I was referring to above, will be in her category as she has apparently got to judges houses! A potential winner there, as long as they give her the airtime!

Posted by: Thermometer Jul 29 2012, 11:37 AM

According to a recent article on DS, the categories are Gary - over 25s, Louis - groups, Tulisa - girls, Nicole - boys. I think they're doing this so that they don't get any joke acts in the over 25s category

In other news, Gary Barlow won't be going to the US for judges houses as it clashes with his daughters birth and Beyonce's dad's girl group From Above have made it to boot-camp

Posted by: Liаm Jul 29 2012, 11:46 AM

That just upped Carolynne's chances kink.gif

Also From Above are pretty good, they could do pretty well if in the live shows!

Posted by: Kath Jul 30 2012, 10:31 PM

At least with Gary getting the 'overs' he has an excuse when he fails to win this time. Even though it will still be due to his crap choice of finalists. To be honest - I'll bet all the contestants in all the categories were dreading having Gary Barlow as their mentor!

I'm in two minds about XF this year. Most of me doesn't want to tune in cos last year was a disaster and Nicole isn't going to make things all better. But then part of me has to tune in in order to continue playing my fabulous X Factor driking game.

Posted by: euro music Jul 31 2012, 04:46 PM

According to Tellybox - Gary has Overs - Louis has Groups - Tulisa has Girls - Nicole has Guys

Posted by: Jonjo Aug 9 2012, 02:00 AM

Lookign forward to this as per! Not looking forward to the lives so much though. Not sure I could deal with the blandfests of Nicole and Gary week after week. Let's hope this year is at least equal to last year. If it's another Season 4 type of disaster, I don't think I could cope.

Posted by: HausofKubrick Aug 9 2012, 11:19 AM

Looking forward to seeing Tulisa, Louis and Nicole. Not so much Gary :/

The audition stages really bore me, bring on the live shows!

Posted by: Liаm Aug 14 2012, 02:27 PM

The most performed song at the auditions was We Found Love, apparently around 500 people sang it according to DS! ohmy.gif Etta James - At Last, Adele, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran were also up there. Shockers laugh.gif

I'm not excited either this year, and I also can't stand Gary. I have a feeling I might still end up watching, but maybe only bits and pieces, I dunno...

Nicole's the only one who looks "normal" there. Gary looks like he's wondering where he is, Tulisa looks like she's just woken up and Louis, well, I don't know what he looks like...

It looks like they've given Tulisa some horrendous airbrush on her hairline, which in affect, just makes her look bald. Bizarre image.

Tulisa looks like she's wearing a wig, Gary looks like he's taking himself too seriously and Louis looks pleased that it's that time of year he's allowed out of that broom cupboard they lock him in for 7 months of the year.

Nicole looks normal but she's still not interesting enough.

Posted by: C.W Aug 17 2012, 09:23 PM

Hmmm, this seems significantly less of an event every year. The judges especially, I can't say I'm really looking forward to any of them. I remember so little about last year, but I will probably watch the start of this one at least, I'll see if it engages me enough to rewatch when I return to uni.

BBC, this is why the X Factor rates higher than The Voice did.

So let's just be clear on this. We all know the producers asked her to sing Pink to create that fuss, right?

Posted by: Griff Aug 18 2012, 07:45 PM

I think the P!nk tribute act needs to write an autobiography about her experiences. I think that the producers might have told her what to do. No need for that though, especially as she sang a second song!

I thought Mel B (what I saw of her) was absolutely fabulous. I didn't see it all as I kept nodding off (I haven't slept well in months so I took a nytol with a small glass of wine last night) ... but I did see enough of her to appreciate that she should have been given the job full-time. In fact ... Three Mel 'B's and One Louis on the panel would be brilliant! I loved her blunt 'YOU! (pointing an accusing finger as she said it) can't sing!'

Zoe was obviously set up (sure - the girl had a short fuse - but boy did the producers know it and know which buttons to press). And I believe the producers had told her that the judges would like to hear a Pink song. I felt sorry for her - she was a bit of a nervous wreck before she started singing at all - no wonder she was shaking with anger at the end of it.

Posted by: Shoat Aug 19 2012, 09:51 AM

Mel B was WONDERFUL and the only shining light last night. It was nice to see someone refusing to join in and patronise the 82 year old (because let's face it, that's exactly what the other three were doing).

I'm not sure if I fancy watching this series all the way through. Once the guest judges are out of the way, we're left with the snoozetastic Nicole Scherzinger, who did nothing last night to convince me that the producers hadn't made a terrible casting choice. Utterly bland.
Ella (I forget the name) was undoubtedly a great singer and deserved to go through on that alone. So LORD knows why they felt the need to force a sob story out of her (my grandad died when I was young - yeah love, there's millions of people out there who can say the same), and if you listen to the actual lyrics of the song, there's no way they were about her grandad (and if they were, she HATED him).
And although I'd have once swore it was impossible, this series actually feels even MORE manufactured than the last. By airing Zoe's audition, they've pretty much admitted they forced a contestant to sing a song she may not otherwise have wanted to. And those GODAWFUL contestant "conversations" are a new low. Bloody AWFUL.

They've obviously hired Nicole to make Tulisa look interesting.

Posted by: Honeycomb Aug 19 2012, 10:39 AM

I thought Nicole actually showed rather a lot of personality last night, or at least I enjoyed her as a judge A LOT. Her facial expressions, ridiculous phrases/timing all add up to a very enjoyable judge. I'd take her over the bit of never ending boredom and DOOM that is Gary.

Posted by: Ryan741 Aug 19 2012, 12:06 PM

I really enjoyed all of the judges, loved the Louis/Tulisa/Nicole "love triangle" they showed on the Xtra Factor, which was amazing as always! And glad to see Olly is still in the show now and then despite his tour commitments during the auditions!

Overnight ratings have been released and they are the lowest since 2006, but still pretty good and what I was expecting with this very hot weather over the last day or two!

The ratings were an average 8.09m (39.4%) on ITV1 (with a peak of 9.2m) and 616k (2.9%) on +1.

Posted by: Martyn Aug 19 2012, 01:22 PM

Although the actual rating is low compared to previous years the actual % of viewers is actually really good and about right. I think the hot weather and festival season will have meant lots of people were not watching tv.

Posted by: MatthewFirth Aug 19 2012, 02:10 PM

Can anyone guess why it failed to attract viewers last night. ONLY 8 Million!

One of the reasons maybe that people are fed up with Tulisa?

I highly doubt people are fed up with Tulisa, but then half of your posts are about her, so i understand why you think that.

She is by FAR the most interesting person on the panel. Louis (as much as i love him) reads from the same script every year and Gary is a total bore. Too early to judge Nicole yet.

Tulisa is THE reason why i'm watching this series.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 19 2012, 02:20 PM

Tulisa's fine, a good balance between nice and entertaining who speaks her mind. It's Gary who's already run his course, after only one series. He's just far too much like Simon COwell but a much weaker version, he thinks he's sat in Simon's chair so of course he simply must copy him exactly.

Nicole is already stealing the show though! I know they wouldn't have done 3 female judges and one male, but I think Mel replacing Gary would've been fabulous (although she obviously couldn't because the Australian version starts tomorrow and will be in live shows at the same time as us). As annoying as Louis can be it would be weird without him.

No. I guess it's the good weather and that its the festival season. If you look at the TV share that X Factor got then its very similar to previous years meaning that it must be the good weather and the festival season that is affecting the overall number of people watching any TV channel. Even then, no other show can beat the X Factor even with 'only' an 8 million audience except Corrie every now and again.

Anyway I'm bored of the sob stories and the "Oh let's get this girl to sing Pink and then get all angry" = more viewers. I'm surprised they even showed the "but you told me to sing Pink" as the producers quite obviously told her to do it

Posted by: Jack Aug 19 2012, 08:17 PM

Posted by: cookie_monster Aug 20 2012, 12:35 PM

I don't mind the new judging panel... Louis, despite making terrible decisions at times, is the only original judge left, and he's usually quite inoffensive. Tulisa was my favourite last series because she said what she wanted to say quite well and didn't get involved in many of the arguments. It made me laugh out loud when in the introduction, they were like "Tulisa... The judge everyone's talking about" laugh.gif laugh.gif Nicole Scherzinger seems alright from the first show as well. She's already much better than Kelly Rowland who REALLY annoyed me with all her "Bless my little cotton socks" and "YOU SIZE SEXY" in a really high voice. Not to mention that she eliminated an act from the competition who later returned and beat all her remaining acts left in the competition. laugh.gif So I'm glad she's not back. As for Gary, I find him SO boring as a judge and he's like a really inferior boring version to Simon Cowell. There needs to be a judge to bring entertainment and drama to the panel, like Mel B or Sharon Osbourne! laugh.gif

Posted by: euro music Aug 20 2012, 03:37 PM

Mel B is absolutely the pits. She's the Spice Girl I always disliked was the least talented and I dislike her even more now.

There's a way of putting people down and her's deffo isn't it.

Glad she didn't get the job full time.

Not usually into sob stories but Ella was the star of the auditions on Saturday.

Posted by: T Boy Aug 20 2012, 07:20 PM

Dear me, Mel B haters need to lighten up. If the rest of the panel put together even had an ounce of her personality the show would be amazing.

Posted by: Dandy* Aug 20 2012, 08:50 PM

I know I'm late on this one but we're just watching this after recording it... but I just have to add my praise for MEL B who is absolutely the best thing to hit the X Factor in about 5 years. Every single one of her comments was DESERVED (possible exception of awkward geek fanboy who had a cardboard cutout of her in leopardskin) and it was a refreshing change from the usual saccharin comments we are subjected to.

She was frigging brilliant! Did you see Dan Sullivan's comment about her in the Sunday Mirror (at least I think it was him) - she totally by-passed the rule that you must be polite to OAP's even if they're crap!

I don't like the Spice Girls ... and even if I did like them - Mel B would be my joint least favourite with Ginger - but by god she made last Saturday's show worth watching! Just!

I came in here to post a very similar thing. Even in regards to the order of the Spice Girls (I'd also put her at the bottom with the other desperate for attention member!) I found her to be thoroughly entertaining! I really hope she's considered for a permanent slot in the main line up whenever it next gets a shake up. She'll surely be one of the main reasons as to why people watch the show.

The whole P!nk wannabe was disgustingly handled. I've not seen any editing handled like that before! That poor girl. sad.gif

Posted by: Liаm Aug 22 2012, 05:04 PM

I watched the first episode of the Australian series last night and Mel B was fantastic on there as well. In fact their version was infinitely better, hardly any sob stories, no editing disasters and all the judges are good (Guy Sebastian is a bit of twat and could be insufferable as time goes on but we'll see, he's very successful anyway as are Natalie, Ronan and Mel). There was SO much talent as well, and the host is hot (although Dermot is too).

And what do we get? A US reject, a Cheryl Cole wannabe and a boyband manager. Granted Louis had success with Westlife and others, and Gary as a part of Take That is obviously a big deal, but I think other panels put ours to shame and that could be one reason why people are turning off. Nicole is quite fabulous but the others just aren't that interesting, and the editing scandal with Zoe sums up everything that makes people hate The X Factor.

I haven't seen the Australian series I'm afraid but from what you say it seems as though the producers over there are genuinely trying to give exposure to genuine talent rather than make a Saturday Night Freak Show with possibly just one or two decent contenders thrown in each episode (so that it can continue under the premise of being a talent show).

Posted by: Liаm Aug 22 2012, 05:22 PM

Yep exactly that, none of this wasting the first half an hour introducing the judges by playing snippets of their 'hits' interposed with shots of them standing in front of a wind machine with 'intimidating' music either! I don't know why we seem to focus so much on the drama and manipulation, maybe they think it equals viewers but it clearly doesn't. I just think really they need to go back to basics because it is meant to be a talent show by it's very nature. If you go back to 2008 for example (a great series) they had so much geniune talent but it was still entertaining with much less drama (although of course we still had Diana and her throat, Laura being booted off far too early etc.).

Posted by: Sabrewulf Aug 23 2012, 06:33 AM

I'd agree they have become so ridiculous with trying to be dramatic. Showing all these wannabes crying their eyes out and lashing out at everyone afterwards. Spending what seems like hours introducing everything....just SING people SING dammit.

Maybe that somehow hooked people 5-10 years ago but it doesn't any more.

I had already been going off X Factor, but that first show confirmed to me I won't be watching it again.

The first fella was far too vain and was a HOT MESS (bringing it back folks!!! magic.gif ) and his voice - whilst ok - was still far from extraordinary.

The second fella was better but I had to yawn at the whole "i'm singing a Rita Ora song but didn't know she was here" and then Rita herself claiming "you're a superstar". Really? I certainly didn't see a superstar but he's got the potential to be one better.

Yes C.W. it was mentioned by me. Last year!!! laugh.gif

I do find it quite laughable that they actually film the contestants backstage having a normal conversation. It's clearly staged which makes it even worse. They're not actors, so why act? laugh.gif

I agree - too much about their lives and not enough of the auditions (Boooooooring!!!)

Who cares about somebody being a chimney sweep or the sob stories. Same with the conversations with Dermot O'Dreary outside.
Then there are the countless & extra long ad breaks with all the trailers.

I think there were only about 6 auditions broadcast on the whole show - then they wonder why they are losing viewers.

That girl Lucy Spraggan from Sheffield who sang 'Last Night' was really the best of the night for me - so different. Song reminded me a bit of Victoria Wood's type of thing.

X Factor was FAR more enjoyable when they were in a small studio room with just the contestant and the judges sad.gif

I HATE how cheesy it has all become with the back stories, audience reactions, fake conversations etc etc. The producers of the show must be like 60 years old to think that this all appeals to a wide audience drama.gif I though Britain's Got Talent was cheesy and overdone!

I only enjoyed Kai's performance on last night's show. Everything else was horrifically overrated by the judges or just plain horrific. I'm yet to watch this week's Xtra Factor though, so I'm sure there'll be something good in there anyway. The editing is really ruining this show though sad.gif

I'm assuming the live shows start on October 6th (meaning the final will be 9th December, a week before the Christmas No1 week which they avoided last year). That would mean Judges Houses would be 29th/30th September and Bootcamp 22nd/23rd September. If it turns out the final is on the 16th then shuffle all the weeks back by a week!

Also, we got quite a few double episodes of auditions (on both Sat and Sun) last year so expect them to start again soon!

Also, the ratings for last night climbed by about half a million on last week's launch! cheer.gif

On a (semi) serious note, I actually thought the Florence-alike auditionee sang really well.

As Louis is not mentoring the overs and a certain other judge is so serious about the music then there shouldn't be any joke acts in the overs category. I'm certain the joke acts this time will come from the groups

BTW - I've only put the spoilers in as there's bound to be someone here who doesn't read the papers and apart from the X-Factor and soaps doesn't watch anything else on TV and they may become upset if this vital information were leaked to them.

I didn't watch last week's and saw only 3/4 of last night's show as I was visiting mum (she was upset that Red or Black was interrupted by this crap by the way) but as for sob stories ... I'd love someone to say in the between singing bits (you know - the other 42 minutes that make up the show) ... 'Dermot - my tragedy is I don't have a sob story'.

Agree about the guy with the kid. Fully milking it, like he's the only father in the world drama.gif Oh I know we'll chuck him on stage after to really get the crowd going.

I also think its really degrading how for like 5 minutes the crowd were wolf whistling and cheering. Can you imagine if it had been a fit girl and the crowd just went ballistic for them just because they looked good?

The audience at auditions is a dreadful idea. They can easily sway the judges opinions. Plus you just know they're told how to act with all those fake shocked faces we get close ups of. Also I've appeared in the audience on Jonathan Davies's Welsh language Rugby chat show and we were told how to react to everything so it's not a stretch to believe it happens at these auditions.

Posted by: Mart!n Sep 2 2012, 10:40 AM

I've come to the stage where the auditions are just plain boring, they just keep on showing the bad acts which hardly make it in the finals, just a waste of airtime. Also annoying seeing the bad acts auditioning when they know themselves are not going to get through to Boot Camp. And what's the point of the Xtra Factor at this early stage of the auditions, they only show about 3 to 4 acts and the rest is behind the scenes stuff. I think they should show 2 shows over the weekend with the audition stage to get through them quickly.

The beauty of TV editing. Some of the close up shots might not have been for the person on stage. It's actually fascinating what actually goes on in an editing suite for TV purposes. Whilst doing my degree at college, we had a lecture about this (TV and editing not being what it appears to be) and it was very interesting stuff. biggrin.gif

Exactly this laugh.gif I can't blame the audience though because on the Australian version I'm enthralled by the auditions, it's just how predictable and cliche it's all become, with the cringey home stories and the son stories conviently revealed right of the judges etc. It's just boring now, and you know exactly what will happen as soon as you clap eyes on someone.

No wonder the ratings have gone down the pan.

To me the full auditions seem longer and we're not getting as many random montages with a fitting backing track like Firework. Not that it matters as such, you just know when you see someone on a montage they're bootcamp fodder (except of course Perrie from Little Mix, and all the others weren't even shown, but then she technically was bootcamp fodder as herself it's just Little Mix weren't tongue.gif).

Posted by: Hitstastic Sep 2 2012, 04:53 PM

Well, if they only focus on a handful of auditionees then we pretty much know who has made the live finals. It doesn't if someone who never got much airtime in their audition blows everyone out of the water at bootcamp, they won't have had enough airplay to "connect with the public" and so another excellent singer will be sent home whilst some lame excuse for entertainment sails through to the finals.

I'd be less miffed if X Factor could become more like 2008 where there were genuinely some decent singers who made the live finals. Sadly it's more for entertainment now rather than finding a world class superstar - hence the lower viewing figures and the lack of success for the eventual winner.

Jason was actually a very strong singer, especially for such a hard song to sing!

Melanie McCabe makes that three acts from last year's judges' houses to appear (two of them being Kelly's - another one is in an upcoming West End show (Sarah Watson), but I wonder if Holly Repton will also appear laugh.gif). I wasn't a big fan on her song choice, but she definitely has a good voice.

Yes,Leona, the show has changed. In your day you couldn't get through the first audition by running around and having 'energy', you had to be able to string two notes together at the very least.

MK1 are better as a duet, the odd guy just didn't fit in at all, best of the 5 bands seen in that segment, and the first band can't remember their band name though, the rest were pretty shite.

MK1 could go a long way I think I really like them, the girl was pretty good.

What concerns me with the Britney tribute act is how silly they look... it's the second year in a row they've wheeled one out and this isn't the first SYCO produced show this particular one has appeared on. The fakeness of The X Factor is becoming less subtle by the year. And the panel is SO boring, you know there's a problem when Leona's the interesting one.

New panel needs Mel B & Sharon Osbourne and 2 seat fillers.

Posted by: J❂hnkm Sep 15 2012, 08:09 PM

I shall list the things I dislike about that last girl:

01 She's from Belfast and thus UTV will make out she's amazing and should win and have her on every ad break (they did it with f***ing DEVLIN last year)
02 Her dad is a criminal, I have no sympathy for that sob story.
03 She has awful diction
04 She was pitchy and not READY

Posted by: T Boy Sep 15 2012, 08:13 PM

One more audition show left and I haven't seen anyone that's blown me away. Anyone half decent kills it with overdone sob stories.

Now you mention it, this is too true! I hate to bring up the Australian series yet again in comparison, but in there we saw at least one amazing audition each episode (most of them had 2, or even 3 or 4) whereas I'd say the best we've seen so far would be Melanie Masson vocally, but she has no chance being 'too old'. Ella Henderson was great too but not amazing.

Posted by: Robot Sep 15 2012, 08:36 PM

Ella's my favourite so far, easily, the only one I've really thought 'yeah, she's really good' - and now we're mates (not really, but sorta, but not really).

Posted by: Ryan741 Sep 15 2012, 09:29 PM

Just seen Hayley Evetts' (from Pop Idol) audition on Xtra Factor, one of the best of the whole series! really should have been on the main show!

Can't wait to see Carolynne tomorrow (she has been in every "coming soon" montage after each programme!), I hope she doesn't get montaged again like last year! I've seen a clip of her audition from This Morning and it is fantastic and will be one of the best of the whole series, if not the best! She sings Emeli Sande's 'Clown' - great choice!

Posted by: T Boy Sep 15 2012, 09:38 PM

I feel bad for Hayley because she's still a fantastic singer. But she got shoved on to Xtra Factor, therefore has little chance of the lives.

It was a bit annoying to see people talk about Pop Idol as if it were this little nothing show hardly anyone can remember. I know it's been ten years but it was huge and actually produced a big UK talent. Much superior show.

Posted by: Mart!n Sep 15 2012, 10:23 PM

Loved seeing Hayley Evetts back, I didn't recognise her at first, and at 36, she looks amazing.

Posted by: Lukuzz Sep 15 2012, 10:48 PM

Really don't have any stand out auditions this year, where are all the good people? Completely agree with all the comments on the last girl and the majority they raved about were all average or mediocre imo. Hopefully they are saving the best to last with tomorrow nights show.

Posted by: HausofKubrick Sep 15 2012, 11:51 PM

Only liked the 'diva' that sang Alicia Keys with the daughter.

The rest were pretty awful/mediocre. What do these judges see in them? And for the record Louis was spot on with the girl and her guitar.

Does anyone actually fall for these sob stories? laugh.gif

Posted by: THEO. Sep 16 2012, 02:48 PM

Jade Ellis's audition last night was by far my favourite of the whole series! Definitely what the show needed, and she has an amazing voice to boot. Finally I have somebody to support this year (something which hasn't happened this early on for quite a few seasons!). Probably my favourite audition show of the series as well, I'm glad the awful auditionees are finally starting to fade away/not get a yes.

Posted by: T Boy Sep 16 2012, 04:40 PM

I've already forgotton who Jade Ellis is. I've not found anyone to root for yet. Probably for the best as they'd poached all my favourites before we even got halfway through the lives last year.

Posted by: Ryan741 Sep 16 2012, 05:51 PM

I have a feeling Jade Ellis could be one of the biggest success stories from this year, she just seems like a popstar to me!

X Factor beat Strictly in the ratings last night in terms of the average throughout the whole programme - 8.6m for XF to Strictly's 8m. Strictly did have a slightly higher peak, but I think this suggests XF is on its way up again in time for bootcamp! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Liаm Sep 16 2012, 06:07 PM

She really reminded me of when we first saw Rebecca Ferguson - down to the children thing as well as the soulful voice - and look at Rebecca now!

This pretty much. The only reason she's getting so much fuss is because she's the only female judge they know is there. I mean you can't serenade Tulisa right in the face when Nicole Scherzinger is RIGHT THERE.

LOL! So true, her mannerisms were annoying and her voice was average but the same can be said for many. I did think she would be one of those 'seems dim, is actually good and blows the judges away' types though for some reason.
