The X Factor!

[JamesStanley]

I hated the Jahm group as well. Though they kinda reminded me of this video

Did anyone else hate that girl who was dressed as Madonna/Cyndi Lauper? She ruined At Last for me, and that's one of my favourite songs

I just watched that video and i agree with you although jahm were worse i think the girl dreesed like madonna was ok didnt like the woman who was singing that weird version of mercy either

[Remus]

I catched up with it yesterday. I hated Jahm, they were just awful and that woman who sang that version of Mercy, I just found that so bizarre!

I think my favourite act of the show had to be the one who did that version of Walking on Sunshine.

I quite liked that woman who sang Mercy but they are kicking her off of the show now because it turns out she has a mental problem, which is a shame, but if its for the best then i suppose they did the right thing

Where did you hear that? The only thing I have read is that she was kicked off the Miss Great Britain talent contest earlier this year as the upper age limit is 29 and she is 30. I tried searching for X Factor news to see if it's true that she's going to be kicked off the show but couldn't find anything.

oh, well it was on the front page of the sun, but then again, It is the sun so you cant really trust what they say can you? Yeah maybe they just made it up :/

[MontyDyspraxia]

Yeah, I just read about it on MSN News. If she DOES have a mental health problem, wouldn't Social Services be involved? Because of her daughter?

[Creative]

I just read it on facebook.

[JamesStanley]

I saw it last night on The Times im glad shes gone i didnt like her version of mercy and she shouldnt have got through

[Remus]

I saw that in the papers. I think it sad if they kick her out just because she has a mental health issue, I mean look at Susan Boyle. However, whatever the case, I don't think she is good enough to make it to the next round anyway.

[Steph]

In fairness, before she became famous, Susan Boyle only had learning disabilities. Her mental health problems were a direct result of the pressure of fame. Becoming famous is hard for anyone, especially the disgusting way the paparazzi treat celebrities (but that's an issue for another thread!), but I think it's probably a lot higher risk for someone who has mental health problems to start with and I think they kicked her out to protect both her but also themselves against the same accusations they faced with the Boyle saga.

[Fenrir]

I find the concept of xfactor a good idea, but really, i dont like the way it goes at the moment (1 hit wonders and all), but still...the musician *cough* inside me compels me to watch

Still....not suprising that it's been leaked that they do indeed use auto tune in auditions etc. Might explain why so many acts who win end up miming

I agree i don't think they would have gotten through they only got through qualifying because simon and louis thought she was funny.

[MontyDyspraxia]

I hope either Matt or Rebecca will win.

[galexy96]

I love matt I think a great song for him to sing would be Mad World by Gary Jules, it was on the radio the other day and i thought that

[galexy96]

I love Aiden aswell now, his performance blew me away
yay Aiden and Matt
