    Upset I'd say. He hasn't come across as the most articulate person but he seems really nice.

    You want them to sing in put on American accents :confused: Thats worse

    I think she means she'd rather them sing where the accent isn't forced and clearly identifiable. Many singers don't sound like they're half-talking when they sing, Frankie does...IMO

    No obv not but normally you don't sing with a strong English accent. Like I wouldn't sing with a strong Cork accent (at least I don't think I do!)

    What the hell are they dressing Janet in? Are they purposely trying to make her not attractive and pretty anymore :mad:

    Jade had a really strong Scottish accent but that didn't come through when she sang.

    You'll probably they've been trademarked etc before the series started.

    Yeah reckon you're right there. Which I makes it even worse! 'Band' name doesn't reflect anything about them whatsoever.

    I really detest Frankie and I'm slowly starting to dislike Misha, she's starting to seem a bit smug.

    Caroline/Olly are so awkward when they ask questions, its like they don't think before they speak. I thought nothing was worse than Konnie but i'm beginning to think I was wrong.

    I thought Amelia's "makeover" was dreadful (or makeunder whichever way you look at it) I though she looked fierce before - they could have just toned down the eyeliner but left the blonde hair - she looks dreadful now - that pink hair does her no favours

    Not when you hear Alex Turner (and a few other bands I've been listening to lately) from the Artic Monkeys. Some of his solo stuff wounds incredible with his accent.

    But yeah you're right with Frank C0CKozza. It just seems forced.

    Edit: Disclaimer: I'm not comparing the two here!!!!

    He's right though, it's tough to leave when the public hasn't even had the chance to have their say.

    Wow Frankie has quite small feet..maybe the saying about small feet/small manparts is true, considering he wears jeans like 5 sizes too small/tight.

    Ya maybe I wouldn't mind so much if he could actually sing and wasn't a d**k!

    Ah people, people, people...

    I'm reading all the outrage and shocked posts tonight and while I agree certain contestants have been robbed to keep in the "controversial" acts (Kitty, Johnny) it's all about the $$$ for Mr Cowell.

    Everyone will be talking about "how Amelia was robbed" tomorrow, it'll be in the papers along with "JohnJo's tell all story" - all of which boosts the viewing figures and boosts the (advertising) revenue before the phone lines even open.

    People are saying "Kitty will go next week" but sure do ye not remember the blatant fixing that went on last year to keep Katie and Cher in no matter what?! Almost every week Katie was in the bottom 2, yet SOMEHOW she managed to survive?! :rolleyes: The longer Kitty stays in, the more hype and press there'll be around it

    Who I feel sorry for is the kids like Amelia who are too young to understand fully just how cynical and choreographed the entire X-Factor machine is and who end up crushed and heartbroken as a result. Over the last few years (since they added the whole arena auditions thing) it's become so predictable and false I'm surprised it hasn't been shut down by OFCOM (given that people do pay money to vote in this farce).

    But everyone expressing their outrage here tonight will be watching next week regardless and as long as they do, sure why would Mr Cowell need to change anything?

    They must not be doing the group performances this year. No harm, they were always bad.

    The only change Cowell will probably make is to increase the price of the premium rate lines.
