Apologies it's a Daily Mail "article". :puke2:

 

 

I love this line :lol: Despite Robbie, who the show has been trying to get as a judge for 18 years, being the better known of the pair,

Really interesting night at XFactor. We left at midnight and it still hadn't finished. Just got home at 1.30. Simon had the girls today and Louis the boys so Robbie will do his challenge tomorrow.

 

I'll write more tomorrow but just to say RW is an honest, compassionate judge who is taking the job very seriously. He offers constructive advice in a calm way.

 

 

Ayda did a good job too. She's certainly not reticent in giving clear constructive feed back.

 

He also looked beautiful and was very funny. He described someone's rich deep baritone voice as "lower than one of Simon Cowell's v neck jumpers". :lol:

 

I'll give you the details tomorrow. I have to be up for work in five hours. :rolleyes:

That is a crazy long day, still there at midnight :o , no wonder GB said it was hard work , Robbie must be exhausted

 

Dying to hear more about it Laura , did you have a good view

I am sure that Robbie takes this role as judge very seriously, I am sure he thinks back to when he auditioned for TT and how he was treated by NMS. Robbie with all his antics is a very serious guy...i am inerested to see how he does.on this show.l...must be very different experience

He seems to be enjoying the experience :)

 

wrecked tired though :lol:

So - last night then. ^_^

 

We wouldn't get tickets for the lunchtime show - it was fully booked so we filled the day with tea/coffee/prosecco/shopping and dinner. :P

 

The lunchtime session was still going on at 7 o'clock so it was obvious we would be going in late. As it was -we were still queuing outside at 7.45. We got in - its quite cosy in Wembley Arena - 5000 people. We had good seats to the side and back. Could see the judges well. We were excited. :yahoo:

 

Roycey the warm up guy started getting everyone warmed up and then explained what audience participation meant. Basically lots of noise and shouting out :P varying from "seat, seat seat" :lol: to "bring them back, bring them back". :lol: All very contrived.

 

I remember in 2009 when we went to XF to see Robbie sing Bodies, they were actually handing out banners for people to hold during the show with the names of the finalists on. <_<

 

We turned ours over and wrote "Robbie" on it in Sara's red lipstick and held that up when he sang. :lol:

 

So the show started at 9 (instead of 7.30). On come the judges. Biggest cheer for Louis. I could tell straight away Robbie was a bit tired but looking bloody marvellous. Big, solid, gorgeous but quiet. :wub: Ayda looked lovely too. She said her shoes were killing her. :lol:

 

Louis was whittling down 17 lads to six. The show got under way. Atmosphere was similar to an amphitheatre in Rome :o but although loud, no one was booing the acts but encouraging/respectful which I liked. I felt for the acts - some of them were very young (18). Most were mid 20s. Lots looked very nervous. First few were good and then we had a few not so good and the energy was sucked out of the room. Audience started fidgeting, Robbie had his feet up on the desk rocking back and forth eating. :P I started to think about what time the train was to go home. Then there was a break while the judges went out (presumably for a fag).

 

Roycey warm up man asked if anyone in the audience wanted to sing. One guy did and came on to sing an acapella version of Sweet Caroline. He did really well. Everyone got up to dance and they found a backing track for him to sing along to. With that the judges come back in - Robbie springs on stage and sings a verse with him and everyone else in the arena. Definitely the best bit of the night. :lol:

 

Then things got better on stage. A guy came on that was there last year apparently and was excellent at getting the crowd to its feet. He got excellent comments. A guy with a guitar and really clever lyrics caught my eye. Robbie loved him. The poor guy then fell off the stage. :o. A guy came on in a suit, ladies wig, lipstick and high heels. He was excellent too. A guy with a really soulful voice sang Earth Wind and Fire September and the place was jumping. He was great. They all got seats. Then a few really good singers turned up and the tension went up as all the chairs were taken and Louis was swapping round. Several of the acts lost their seats but said they wanted to "fight" for their place . Robbie liked this attitude. B-) Atmosphere got very tense. No more larking about as the kids on stage wanted to keep their spot. It got very gladiatorial and very tense. In fact I was surprised at how tense it did get. I found myself wanting them all to get a seat. :o

 

At this point it was nearly twelve o'clock midnight and we had to walk out on Mr Williams and run for the tube. We got the very last tube back to Morden. I got in at 1.30 - not sure how the others we left there got home. There were lots of kids in the audience. :o So I don't know the very final result. There was still one lad to sing when we left.

 

 

 

I was (not surprised) but pleased that Robbie and Ayda are taking the judging so seriously. At the start there were a few very funny one liners at Simon's expense from Rob - he's s quick witted but after that there was no messing about. Robbie was very calm as a judge, very clear, warm, compassionate and encouraging. Several times he congratulated a particular singer but said they were in the wrong competition. Ayda was very direct with good advice. There was no bullshitting and no "joke" acts as in the past. There was great chemistry between the judges. They obviously all get on. Robbie was very complimentary of Louis. I can't imagine there being fire works between the judges. You can see they all respect each other. It will be interesting how it looks on Tv.

 

Oh - and he looked gorgeous last night. :wub:

 

 

I would love to have seen Robbie do his Six Chair Challenge with the groups. I think he will have found it really hard because it is almost impossible not to get involved. It does suck you in. I hope he feels he did a good job.

There was one good singer who gave a really pretentious answer when Louis asked him why he wanted to be on X Factor.

 

He gave this long rambling diatribe about suffering and how his stomach was full of the wings of others. :wacko:

 

 

 

Robbie said to him "Ayda will testify that my stomach is full of chicken wings". :lol:

Gosh !! Laura, sounds like you & everyone else had a really long day , thanks for the explaining how the day went, poor Robbie must be totally exhausted & he will be even more exhausted when it comes to his turn for the 6 CC as he will really have to keep focused . I am dying to see what you think when you see the tv show from the day you spent there & how the edited version will appear to tv audiences. Interesting what you say about the judges , I think the Robbie we see live on tour will not be the Robbie we see on this tv show, I feel he will be a lot more serious about this role but witty with it .

Here's a question !!!

 

Where will Robbie & Ayda do judges houses seen as both of them are judges :o

 

Will it be London :thinking:

 

Will it be LA :smoke:

 

Will it depend on the weather :huh:

 

Does it happen straight away :unsure:

 

Will Robbie be tired & need a holiday before Judges houses & therefore could it be a villa somewhere in Mexico where it all happens for both R & A :coffee:

 

It's all very :drama:

 

 

Judges houses are in September aren't they? I doubt they would have it in their real home. There's a danger you could get too attached to those you're about to send home. Swanky hotel in LA I would imagine .
