    Just why does Chris Rene have to keep going AHH! throughout his performances & waving is arm about. IMO - Melanie to win (she was sensational last night) & Josh for runner up
  2. Glad Little Mix did it over rubbish Marcus. Although my favourite was Amelia - LM were my second faves Also a nice change from having a male winner who gets the votes: not for talent but all the female votes for how fit they are. Just why have the winners song got to be boring ballad covers. Cannonball is the worst winners song yet - I don't even like the original. Let's have a new song & uptempo next year. Coldplay were sensational - Westlife were absolutre rubbish - decided it was loo time when they came on. Thank god they will soon be no more. Over the 2 shows only Coldplay & Leona were the only decent acts.
  3. That's because (apart from Leona) the other guest acts were really poor. One Direction - JLS - Michael Buble absolute rubbish.
  4. I fully agree - Marcus should have gone weeks before Would be good in musicals but as a recording artist rubbish - his voice is too girlie I still think Amelia & Little Mix will have good recording careers - Marcus would become another Steve Brookstein/Leon Jackson In a way it maybe a godsend that Amelia hasn't won. Apart from Leona - most acts that came 2nd, 3rd & 4th have gone on to have better careers than the winners. Look at One Direction (now doing shows in Germany and have charted in Azerbaijan), JLS (even though I can't stand them), Diana Vickers, Cher Lloyd, Olly Murs, Rebecca Ferguson Leona was amazing Michael Buble - why every year! :puke2: My rankings: 10.0 - Amelia Lily & Kelly - River Deep, Mountain High - 2 goddam powerful voices 9.0 - Amelia Lily - Ain't No Other Man - Did brilliantly on such a hard song 8.5 - Little Mix & Tulisa - If I Ain't Got You / Empire State of Mind - Really good job 6.0 - Little Mix - You Got The Love - I'm really sick of hearing this boring disco song 4.0 - Marcus - Hey Ya! - Vocally really poor - not a patch on the original with his girlie voice 4.0 - Marcus & Gary - She's Always a Woman - I nearly fell asleep

    What a disappointment of a judges line-up 3 males & one female They should ditch Will.I.AM and bring in Cheryl Cole or Katy Perry to even things up a bit.
  7. Apart from Coldplay & Adele If she takes part - it's going to be a disappointing final. I mean JLS - One Direction. It's going to be more for little kids.
  8. So this really isn't an E.P. it's a maxi-single. To be an E.P. it has to have between 4 & 6 tracks.

    Steve Jones isn't as big a one as Dermot (childish) O'Dreary :puke2:

    It just goes to show how bad the judges really are: Simon & Paul are OK but the Scherz & L.A. Reid really haven't a clue. Marcus should have gone weeks ago. Also why couldn't Chris do something like his second song instead of the rappin and arm wavin' like he's done since week 1.
  11. Legendary soul singer Dobie Gray has died aged 71 - cause of death not stated. Dobie who had a UK hit in 1965 with The 'In' Crowd and also had a massive hit in the US with Drift Away died on 6 December He had a total of 7 US Top 100 hits between 1963 & 1979 He also had a minor UK hit in 1975 with the Northern Soul classic Out On The Floor R.I.P.

  12. Fleetwood Town to be promoted this year! :yahoo:
  13. Misha gone - about time too :yahoo: :cheer: :yahoo: :dance: Bottom this week - bottom 2 on 3 previous weeks -- clearly the public don't want her Marcus out next please - he's so like a girl and such a bland high pitched voice. Amelia to win but I wouldn't even mind if it was Little Mix although they surely appeal to a young (10-16) audience
  14. Amelia missed much of the contest due to Kelly's bad desicion.
  15. I really want Misha to go. Bottom 2 three times - show people don't want her. As for Marcus - I think he would go the same way as Joe McEldry - Good for musicals but not a recording career. I only like Amelia & Little Mix

    Coach Trip is back on the road for a special Christmas series - a northerly mission to meet Santa Claus in Lapland. Starting in Trondheim, Norway, the coach heads off for 15 days of festive fun, but not everyone will survive the dreaded vote and stay to the end. Brendan is back - full of seasonal spirit and eager to meet his new gang of festive fans and Yuletime scrooges. Source C4
  17. A great Motown one for Amelia to really show her powerful range would be the legendary Gladys Knight - If I Were Your Woman -- one of the greatest Motown ballads 74uktZ63qo4

    Who would I like to send home next week - L.A. REID :lol:
  19. Hope Misha B goes this week - She should have gone weeks ago - how can the stupid judges keep saving her - 3 times in the bottom 2 - it's clear the public don't want her. Amelia Lily to win with Little Mix runners up :yahoo: :yahoo:

    I'm also gutted about Drew & now hope for a Melanie win with Josh runner-up Have you noticed just like UK X Factor they never let you know who had the lowest votes from the 2 in the sing-off Astro should never have been in it as it's a singing competition Dictionary definition of singing: To utter a series of words or sounds in musical tones. Where were the musical tones in Astro - I never heard any. Chris Rene can't sing either although he does attempt it - As for Marcus Cantee - I just fall asleep when he starts warbling.
  21. #4 hit in 1976 - Sylvia - Y Viva Espana -- original by Belgium singer Samantha (as Eviva Espana) in 1972 #7 hit - Take That - It Only Takes A Minute -- original Tavares #3 hit - Take That - Could It Be Magic -- original Barry Manilow #5 hit - Jonathan King - Una Paloma Blanca -- original (as Paloma Blanca) - George Baker Selection #3 hit - The Damned - Eloise -- original Barry Ryan #1 hit - Westlife - I Have A Dream -- original Abba #1 hit - Westlife - Seasons In The Sun -- original Terry Jacks #1 hit - Westlife - You Raise Me Up -- original Josh Groban #4 hit - Lulu - Shout -- original Isley Brothers #8 hit in 1986 - Whitney Houston - Greatest Love Of All -- original #27 hit in 1977 George Benson #3 hit - Maureen Evans - Like I Do -- original Nancy Sinatra
  22. I've heard that Adele is a possibility I love Coldplay & Leona but JLS and One Direction :puke2: :puke2:

    have gone this week - I totally agree with the forst one out but deffo not the second. My final 2 would now be: Melanie Josh
  24. IMO Misha should have gone out last night - 3 times in the bottom 2. Kelly made a mistake - She's should have sent Misha home with Gary taking it to deadlock. I also thought that it went just on public vote for the final 5. Janet hasn't been able to show all her talent - apart from singing she's an instrumentalist and a songwriter. I think X Factor should let them play instruments as the can on American Idol. Hope Misha goes next week. Amelia Lily to win now with Little Mix runner-up.
  25. Another Beatles song Ringo sang was Octopus's Garden
