August 29, 20159 yr Well, thank goodness her nerves didn't stop her from oversinging the shit out of that
August 29, 20159 yr I don't really like Louisa's tone actually. Good voice but nowhere near as good as they're making her out to be and needs work. Andrea's audition with that song >>>>>>>>
August 29, 20159 yr "Footprints In The Sand" too. ^_^ She has a great voice, but I think it would've better had she shown a little restraint. Edited August 29, 20159 yr by Envoirment
August 29, 20159 yr Was a good 1st show! Excited for the rest of the series. Gonna catch up on the Xtra Factor tomorrow.
August 29, 20159 yr Great first episode! Grimmy and Rita do work well, more than I expected them to. 4th Power are so cute and AMAZING performance from them. I can see them going far. Likewise Jennifer - I love that she did Mary Mary 'Shackles' as well, that's one of my favourite songs. Techno Susan was hilarious as well, I want some of her energy when I'm 60 please :D It was really sad to see Jon get four no's, especially seeing Olly's reaction cause you could see how much he was rooting for him and it shows what a heart of gold he has. :( But they were absolutely right to not put him through - he can sing but he needs that confidence in himself as a performer because he looked like a rabbit in headlights. He could easily come back next year if he uses the time wisely to build his confidence and I think he should. It took Olly three years on the trot of trying out for X Factor, even Alexandra Burke did it twice and she won the thing. Oh and Olly and Caroline - PERFECT :wub:
August 29, 20159 yr Loved tonight's episode. Judges and presenters were brilliant! Talent as well was amazing!Lauren,Jennifer,Tom Bleasby,Tom Davies,4th Power and Louisa were all fantastic! Edited August 29, 20159 yr by P@ul
August 29, 20159 yr Was a good 1st show! Excited for the rest of the series. Gonna catch up on the Xtra Factor tomorrow. I wouldn't bother it was pretty awful, awful presenters and only 5 auditions and they were all naff and silly stuff, seriously why do they bother. I'm just sticking to the main show each week, until the lives kick off. And I stopped watching the Xtra Factor last year after a few episodes. I just miss Louie's Limericks :snif:
August 29, 20159 yr yeah I tried watching Xtra Factor last year and there is no point, gave up after a few weeks

August 30, 20159 yr XF only got 7.65m viewers last night.. Nearly 2 million down on last nights opener :(
August 30, 20159 yr But it did drop to those kind of levels fairly quickly last year anyway. Maybe it'll just be more stable this year.
August 30, 20159 yr Well it is at 7.5m already and Strictly isn't cutting into its audience yet, doesn't look good.
August 30, 20159 yr Apparently the Tom person who loves Cheryl and brought his backing dancers follows me on twitter #impact
August 30, 20159 yr I was at Louisa's audition. So good. Same with Olly's ex band member. That was just super awkward.
August 30, 20159 yr I would compare this weeks audition with the bank holiday ratings last year as it is nearly always lower figures.
August 30, 20159 yr If it settles into a ~7 million (overnight) average it'll be fine. We all know it's not a juggernaut anymore. Plus this year I would wager even with TWO host it's cheaper on talent costs purely because Rita/Nick/Caroline/Olly don't have much negotiating POWER in terms of bagging £££ compared with Louis, Sharon, Mel etc.
August 30, 20159 yr it didn't take long for the first X Factor scandal to happen... Four Filipino sisters who stole the show when The X Factor returned tonight looked like nervous amateurs – but viewers will be surprised to learn they are pro singers. And show producers who drafted in the slick girl band Fourth Power knew all about their professional background in the Far East. All contestants are supposed be wannabe beginners but these girls are seasoned performers who have been on TV and even released records available to buy on Amazon.
