She gave us Rylan didn't she and said he was talented :o Also Dermot is just so childish like Ant & Dec.

Latest one is The Power Of Love 1984 - Frankie Goes To Hollywood 2012 - Gabrielle Aplin

This year I prefer the US version. Simon has got the US show bang up to date. Reasons: Presenters UK - crap (Dermot O'Dreary too childish) USA great Mentors: UK 2 good - 2 crap (good Gary & Tulisa - crap Louis & Nicole) USA 2 good 2 crap (good Simon & Demi - crap LA & Shitney her squeally voice goes right through me) Acts UK final 12 -- 3 good -9 crap -- all 3 finalists are crap US finall 12 -- 10 good 2 crap -- one of these has now gone Adios Vino!! Format UK crap USA great

Shakin' Stevens is a good contender - but I agree with Glee

Singles: Macklemore - Thrift Shop

Or if the final was Rylan, Christopher and screaming Jahmene

Not me - It's all crap that's left This is the first time that the final 5 have all been crap

No way!!! Anyway they've now lost another viewer as there is only crap left and that includes O'Dreary & The Judges except for Tulisa. Although in a way she shot herself in the foot saving Rylan the other week. This will be the first series since the first series that I have not watched every show. I have one message for Simon Cowell now - cancel this atrocious show. ITV are complaining about the ratings and no wonder.

When R2s Pick Of The Pops plays the charts it never uses the old BBC chart and always uses the charts from Record Retailer/Music Week. I didn't say that they WERE the official charts but rather that they were known/acknowleged as the official charts because they were the charts used by the music industry at the time and were the most accurate at the time and Record Retailer/Music Week were then magazines for the music industry and not for sale to the public. As for the BBC chart, it wasn't just a singles chart as LPs & EPs were also in there. From 1962 to 1969 Record Retailer had all their charts seperate. EPs were only brought back into there chart at the end of 1967 when they stopped compiling a seperate EP chart. What was an EP at that time was a 7inch disc with either 2 or 3 tracks on each side usually with with a picture sleeve.

The charts used for Guinness Book Of British Hit Singles were known as the official charts as follows: It used the NME charts until 4 March 1960. With its issue of 10 March 1960, Record Retailer became a weekly magazine and started a chart showing the top 50 records in sales. The publication was relaunched on 18 March 1972 as Music Week and it still publishes the Official Chart Company charts is used to to the present day. From 1962 until April 1991 the now defunct Record Mirror magazine printed the official charts.

One out - Doris Day is also still alive Al Martino died 2009 aged 82 -- He also had a massive hit in 1972 -- remember Spanish Eyes Jo Stafford died 2008 aged 90 Nat King Cole died 1965 aged 45 Bing Crosby died 1977 aged 74 Guy Mitchell died 1999 aged 72 Rosemary Clooney died 2002 aged 74 Vera Lynn - now 95 Frankie Laine died 2007 aged 93 Ray Martin died 1998 aged 69 Doris Day - now 88 Mario Lanza died 1959 aged 42 Max Bygraves died 2012 aged 89 Johnnie Ray died 1990 aged 63

And he talks and acts so childish when introducing the show. The way he says It's The X Factor Judges - Your Saturday night starts right here - It's The X-Factor The Results - we've got ??? right here on this stage etc. At least X-Factor USA has decent presenters and the show layout is miles better to with there visits to the green room and also the way the categories are now. It makes the UK show look so lame.

Come on own up - who keeps voting for Rylan & Chris??? :o

Yeah! This is the first time I didn't hear him scream

Just like Rylan picking up the brain dead & deaf votes

Actually I think Gwen is better as part of No Doubt. When she went solo she took up that R&B rubbish Don't you remember this - it was a #1 hit in 1997. They also had 6 other Top 75 hits. TR3Vdo5etCQ

After watching X-Factor USA live show this week it just shows how lame the UK show has become. USA have got 2 good presenters this year unlike us with childish Dermot O'Leary and his growling voice. The set is better they don't have that annoying voiceover. The main thing about the US show is the acts are better and more talented. I used to like Tulisa but I've really gone off her now saving Rylan. Kye isn't that good but he's than that joker. Gary got it spot on last night saying all the good ones are going yet Rylan stays in. No wonder they are losing viewers left right & center. I'm not watching it anymore either until the final if Ella's still there. Unless the show gets many improvements I don't think that ITV should renew the contract.

Same thing happened in a previous series when Diana Vicker was ill. By the way where is Diana now?
