    I would just like to voice an opinion and I think a thread clearly titlrd "X FACTOR" would be a preferable place to do it!:rolleyes:

    you'd be wrong. This thread is about what happens on the show every week. It is not for debate about whether x-factor is good, or not. Coming into a forum called reality TV and into a thread called X-Factor, ignoring the rest of the thread, and attacking the show is trolling, i.e. an attempt to get a rise out of people. It wouldnt be if you strarted a thread somewhere else - i.e. AH.

    And I am feeding the troll. So I'll stop.

    I read a report that Holly won't be back for the Xtra Factor next year. I hope that's not true. She's cool.

    I think she's officially resigned to focus on GMTV, I won't be one bit surprised if jedward take her place.

    I watched Come Dine With Me instead of X Factor so I just caught the end

    Lloyd was a dead cert to go anyway. Danyl next week I think (hope!).

    Again, just spent the first hour in work catching up with this thread...hilarious as ever!

    Has anyone heard the Danyl/Lloyd rumours?? Heard from 3 different people this weekend :eek:

    Also Cheryl needs to cross/close her legs when she's got a short dress on and is sitting on the Xtra Factor high stools...seriously!! Sometimes I wonder does she realise that there's no front on that desk!

    I heard it, not sure have valid it is though, from what I know it originated from an e-mail. If it's true, Danyl would be playing a very dangerous game, what is the age limit in the UK? 16/17?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,185 asdasd

    It's 16, so it's ok. If true.

    Still, though, for a teacher. Odd.

    (There are different rules for teachers but they have to be teaching the person - then it is illegal).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ibarelycare

    I think it's 16. My sister said to me that if Lloyd was a girl, then people wouldn't blink an eye, but I still would! My friend who told me about it heard it from someone who works on the Xtra Factor apparently...could all be complete BS but it seems to have made the rounds pretty quickly! And apparently it's the reason why Cheryl doesn't like Danyl and refuses to give him great comments even when all the other judges do.

    Olly wasnt in the bottom 2 of the votes - Dermot said on Xtra Factor - i wonder who was??????????

    Alicia Keys was great

    It was good seeing the Rhyddler again :D i just wish he had said all his comments from the papers

    Read a few weeks back on Digital Spy that Holly is indeed leaving the XtraFactor. Mostly likely being Steven off the Dancing on Ice/ Britain's Got Talent ITV2 Shows.

    Final: Celebrity performers: Madonna and Beyonce and Ronan Keating

    I wonder if they're in for the duets, or just the results show?

    I'm sure it'll be typical again with 2 havin UK/IRL bands, and one act [Joe!] havin a big international star

    Stacey, Joe + Olly for the final! Danyl GTFO NOWWW!!!!!

    I actually forgot to watch the results show last night.. Only realised this morning when i picked up the paper that i had forgotten.. I think its because jedward is gone and there's no one that really shines out this year as having what it takes to really make it...

    Forgetting about the ironly of Walsh claiming Lloyd couldnt sing, why were all the other judges supporting him :confused::eek:

    He might have had *the look* that young wans will vote for but he couldn't sign for shyte and I'm amazed Walsh was the only one to speak the truth.

    i don't think he ever claimed they could sing.

    so for me, there's little irony.

    all lloyd has is his looks and his cr*p voice, because he has no stage presence or charisma, so what else could louis do but judge him on that?

    at least with Jedward they entertained, divided opinion, and created a buzz.

    There are still two more weeks of the competition to go however, Saturday's show saw all of the judges heap praise on 18-year-old Joe McElderry while Stacey Solomon, previously his biggest rival, was branded a 'wedding singer' by Simon Cowell.
    Today's Sun claims that the judges' comments for Joe weren't a coincidence and came after Simon urged them to be extra complimentary about the singer.
    The paper says that Simon's own remaining acts - Olly and Danyl - are unhappy about the favouritism being shown towards their rival. Who can blame them?
    An insider told the paper: "Joe is the winner in Simon's eyes. He's been bigging up Joe when the judges are around.
    "The others are not happy. But the bottom line with Simon is, 'Who will sell records?'"
    It was also reported last week that a song performed by Joe earlier in the series - Journey's Don't Stop Believin' - has been chosen for this year's winner's single.

    Breaking news-
    Shocker as Cowell is only interested in money..........

    Seriously, does anyone on this thread not believe that this show is fixed and that voters/acts are manipulated on a weekly basis in order for
    A. Higher viewing figures in the early stages.
    B. A Winner that the shows creator thinks will maximise revenue in the latter stages.

    The whole this is a drama, full of drama but dont foget who is ultimately pulling all those strings.
    As I said before, it was no coincidence that once Cowell started puttin any level of praise on Jedward, they were gone-he knew this would happen.

    The guys is super smart, don't forget that and dont get too caught up in the whole circus.

    If its for the duets as well, surely Madonna and Beyonce are both big international stars. Agree with your last point :D

    Which is why any effort to get any other song to Xmas No.1 will be completely fruitless.

    The show is nothing but Cowell's little cash cow, and there's no way he's going to let it slip through his fingers now.

    Exactly.
    He doesnt care what judges act gets through, ultimately they are all his acts.........he'll be getting the revenue no matter who wins.

    It really has been a great idea from Cowell. Its nothing more than a singing competition, but with all the added drama, tear jerkers, perceived judges who dont get on, tour afterwards.
    Not only has cowell sown up the Christmas market but in the months leading up to it almost every act thats plays on the results show is in the charts.

    In a few years time, theres a good chance in November/December that over half the acts in the charts in the UK are either previous contestants in X factor or judges.
