Edit: Mod Warning in post #19. Trolling will not be tolerated in this thread.

Ok, so to keep all the Xfactor talk out of the den, yaaaaah and aaaarrrggghhh threads, like last year, we may as well set up a thread to keep C&H in harmony without all the "OMG, JEDWARD ARE IN THE BOTTOM TWO OMG NOOOO" or anything like that :P

So it starts tonight.
Im really excited because of the whole Irish auditions really.
I hear there's alot of Jedward copies too!

Who can't wait?
Also, can't wait to see the celebrity judges.
I have a good feeling about this year. Let's hope another Joe McElderry doesn't win. I'm not a fan

msbrightside

Well, that's my life planned until Christmas.














Yep, I'm actually that sad.:o

**Timbuk2**

Oh I can't wait. The auditions are the best parts - a lot of people are so bad it's hilarious!

Where are the auditions this evening?

I wonder who people will try to get Christmas number 1 to piss off Simon Cowell, I suggest this

If we're going with Rolf Harris then I suggest this:

Dublin auditions tonight!:D

While I sort of see the appeal of the program, I don't see how you can watch more than one series. It's the same thing every year, they even use the same template for editing and presenting contests.

Sad music, a sob story and some skeptic judges = OMG NEXT MICHAEL JACKSON

Aragont music, overly confident contestant and bemused judges = One of Cowel's 4 insults.

Repeat until the finals.

**Timbuk2**

DO, your post actually makes me more excited about the X-Factor

D4RK ONION

I... you... uh...

...

Grindylow

Is it Dublin auditions tonight?
I thought Dublin was one of the last audition stages? Gerri Halliwell, Natalie Imbrulia (sp?), Pixie Lott and a few more celeb judges were on before Katy Perry in Dublin!

But anyway, I can't wait. ;D

Bonkers_xOx

I was at the first round of auditions in Croke Park (Don't worry, I wasn't auditioning, I was supporting my friend:P) and they told us Dublin would be first shown... could've been just a way to get everyone to watch the first episode and then get ADDICTED!

Fad

TOMMY I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE CHANGING THE CHARTER TO PREVENT THIS >_<

Grindylow

Yeah I don't think it's going to be the first shown, it'll probably get half an episode with somewhere else fairly small!

It's better to just have one thread, it contains the madness!

I'd hate to have to infract/ban people for talking about X-Factor. I mean, the poor people who watch it already have enough problems :pac:

ohthebaby

Now I like The X Factor as much as the next person and I get caught up in the excitement of it all as it nears the end but I can't help but say it's the most set up thing on TV. My mother and sister hate when I watch it with them cos all I do is give out. I was at the judges stage in Dublin and it really is so fixed. As in these two guys come out and sing some pop song. They're crap. The judges give them one more chance. The do opera and are ****ing amazing. Like I mean come on. I'm excited about it coming back but remember it's all so staged and fixed and that wrecks my head. And sob stories... UGH PUH-LEASE. Fix fix fix. But I still like it. But yeah, they know already I'd say who'll be in the last twelve or whatever. Probably before the live auditions even.

It's all about the moneyz $$$$ and obviously fixed.

But dammit, it's entertaining :P

OopsyDaisy

Can't wait to see my mates who tried out, a few got through a few rounds like

It's unbelievably addictive
Love it though, keeps me entertained on a Saturday night
(Yes, I really am that cool :P )

EuropeanSon

This SH!TE is back? :0

OMFG, I'm off to kill myself... My tasteless family never stop watching it... Aaaaaarrrgghhh!!!!

Insect Overlord

Oh, by the way, (EuropeanSon, take note here) I will still be giving out yellow and red cards for trolling and thread-spoiling. This thread is for people who are actually following the show. It's not for haters to come in and take the piss.

Extrasupervery

Fair enough if he doesn't like it...but casually threatening suicide like that's not cool.

Anywho - I hate hate hate America's Got Talent, The X Factor and all similar shows.

However I watch them all regularly.

And fall in love with several contestants a year.

MAKE IT STOP

Grindylow

I would thank your post IO but boards mobile wont allow me! :P

HATERS BE TROLLLIIINNNNG.


X Factor. I want another Stacie Solomon or Lucie Jones!

DancingQueen:)

I love the X Factor, apart from all of the sob stories and they way the judges put through people that really don't deserve it! I'll still be watching it though, I really like listening to people sing : )

OopsyDaisy

I just got invited to an XFactor party tonight...gonna be epic!

msbrightside

X Factor is one of those shows you just have to watch though. Coming up to the later stages it is all anyone talks about and if you don't watch it you feel like you're missing out.

soccymonster

Hope Dublin produces the goods tbh.

All I can see is You're A Star in my head. It really doesn't give me hope

Grindylow

There are 3 irish people through to judges houses soccy!

One is a 50 year old soloist and then theres a teen boy and girl who both auditioned as soloists and then they got put into a boyband and girlband!

Katy Perry tweeted that there was a definite winner in Dublin too. ;

)

KnifeWRENCH

I always tell myself I'm never gonna watch the X Factor, but I always end up watching it anyway. Funnily enough, I don't care so much about the carcrash audition; I usually only watch it when the final 12 are picked. I always hope there's at least one good singer.

I do hate the whole sob story part of it though. And Louis Walsh is an irritating knob.

Also, X-Factor totally pales in comparison to American Idol; some of the singers on American Idol make X-Factor contestants look like complete amateurs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HpPmg6bqDU

^ I've never seen a performance of that quality on X-Factor.

Grindylow

Meh, American Idols set up is fairly bad, I don't like it anyway, its a bit to serious, and theres far to much crap in it (like the amount of time spent on introductions, etc.)

X Factor is far more entertaining, its not all about the singing there, the judges also draw in a lot of viewers because of their fights, etc.

I don't wanna be mean or anything but any chance you could use spoilers?! :P

Because if the 50 year old soloist comes on, I'll know he's through now :pac::P

Hmmmm..

definite winner in Dublin,eh?

Where do you hear all this goss?

And that's exactly why I prefer American Idol, where it is (mostly) about the singing. It still has the whole fake set up and judges fighting etc. but I have seen some seriously brilliant singers on it (like Crystal Bowersox, who was on the most recent series and only came second despite being consistently good in every performance she gave.)

Whereas they completely overdramatise X-Factor. I don't give a fcuk about sob stories or Simon Cowell's ego; the whole "judges fighting" thing is so staged it's pathetic. If they actually cared about finding someone who was a talented singer, they wouldn't make the show so much about themselves. It's just cheap, tacky and completely overshadows the rare genuinely talented singer who manages to get on the show.

illiop

I LOVE X-factor!

I hate the fake fights and the set-up sob stories, but I still love it, all the tackiness, the excitment, the build-up, and expecially when you watch it with friends. It was practically the only reason I stayed in college at the weekends was so we could have are little x-factor get togethers every sat.

I really hope another Joe doesn't win this year though, I hate him. I think it needs another boyband like JLS, who are my guilty pleasure. Also, another adorable person like Stacey "Uh MY GAWD!".

OopsyDaisy

I LOVED your one who did the Mercy one :P So funny!

Also...

There ain't no party like and XFACTOR party

norwegianwood

I want that Mercy one to win it, seriously.

lou91

A lot of them sounded really autotuned.
I much preferred the auditions without the audience, I don't think the series really gets going now until Judges Houses.

Colm!

a friend of mine was telling me that.. they are.

That's all I have to say about this TV show.
AUTO TUNE.

Goodbye, I will probably never post in this thread again, I can't stand it tbh :P

mhm, it's especially worse this year.
Like you can seriously hear it.

PARARORY

I love X Factor but jayz last night was the greatest loads of rubbish?
The amount of ad breaks , barely any auditions shown , the talent was non existant... Terrible start to the show?

I was in the Dublin audience and there were about 5 or 6 really talented people - 10 times better than the ones shown last night? I hope they all get shown because they edit them down so not all auditionees are shown on tv!

phasers

Yay X-Factor thread!

The first auditions were a bit of a let down, it all felt so staged! It's like they're not even trying to make it look real anymore...

I've always preferred the live shows though. Come back Dannii! All is forgiven!

I miss Dannii too!

I hate the live shows though, all these talent shows are just merging in to one tbh. They all have the same format. I don't see how the American X-factor is going to be any different from American idol apart from the judges take a few contestants under their wing.

Having said that I don't really care, I still love it!

phasers

Yep I don't get how AI and AXF are going to both be on at once, they're so similar!

I miss the old format where it was just the judges and the singer, no backing tracks or autotune. Whenever the judges got the giggles I did too :pac:

cheesefiend

Yeah thems were the days!
