Next week's theme will be songs on itunes :lol:

The week after its going to be TV Advert tunes and the week after that - TV theme tunes but only the ones that actually have had songs produced from them i.e., Eastenders, Prisoner Cell Block H, Home and Away, Sons & Daughters, etc.

 

It'll be Pop Goes The X-Factor all over again!

 

Kath

Seriously guys. This is a show which has played host to Boyz II Men, Westlife (annually), Diana Vickers and many more. Cee-Lo is a pretty great guest by comparison to any of those and on his own merits too.

 

Rubbish theme.

What if somebody wants to sing CELINE for example?! Such racism ugh.

Are people REALLY complaining about the theme because it rules artists out? You might as well complain about EVERY SODDING THEME EVER

I'm complaining about the theme because it's unimaginative and not really a 'theme'.

typically lame theme then, I don't get the 'vs'? they might as well just say UK or US songs - which is a bit broad to say the least!

 

I think Cee-Lo's quite a good guest though, clearly an experienced musician with a good voice

I hope the big twist is that Konnie Huq is the main presenter.

This series really is shaping up to be AWFUL. UK vs US? :mellow:

I was talking to people at work who have loved watching The X Factor over the years to find out who they woukd like to win this year. Some of them have made comments like "you know what, I missed it last weekend" whilst others have swiftly changed the subject and asked me "have you been watching Downton Abbey, it's great". :D

 

Surely says something about this years final 16.

But the ratings remain through the roof... I think all it says is that a small handful of people you casually surveyed have decided to stop watching. And most of them will probably watch anyway come Saturday!

Don't they always have a pretty vague theme in the first week ?

 

I'd rather not have themes to be honest. It's nice to see that their versatile, but you end up seeing them perform songs they'd never release after the show

Ac tually, you're right Jark. Give it a few weeks and they'll most likely have a different opinion of the contestants. It's just usually in the past before the live shows, the people at work have talked about who their fave act who had made the final was.

 

Thinking about it, my supervisor did say she likes Sami. :D My fave was Jade. :(

I don't really care much for the themes either. Besides they often just find some sort of loophole so they can sing whatever they want or the themes are so broad it might as well be "sing whatever you want".

Twist is no public vote this week, each judge picks an act of their own to leave - so 4 acts leaving on Sunday.

Wow. That's pretty big. No double eliminations after this week then. I would guess at this stage that the four going home will be Sophie, James, Sami and Rhythmix.

As a twist, I quite like it. It's certainly nowhere near as shit as I expected. As much as I did like the image of Cheryl Cole waltzing back in with four acts she couldn't give a shit about and calling a Tulisa 'a second rate me' at every chance she got.

 

I imagine Sophie and Rhythmix are guaranteed exits. As is Sami too really. Not sure with the boys though.

As long as there are no audience interruptions/other judges opinions then I hope the right choices are made.

 

My choices would be: Nu Vibe, Craig, Johnny and Misha

 

I think they'll pick: 2 Shoes, Craig, Johnny and Sophie.

 

I don't think Louis will risk getting rid of Sammi, now that he's had chance to get audience reaction/views on his category or whatever. She's definitely the one that will go furthest from his group.
