Presume they will be on to promote Lighthouse at some stage.

Just found out that Cher Lloyd will be playing at Childline this year, makes me want to reconsider going...

If I'm wrong I'll take it back happily but I seem to remember Simon was speaking and she said "you don't know what it's like being up here" and he replied "your very close to spoiling it for yourself" the more I think about it the more I think it was her.

Edit: further thinking has me remember that she refused to sing the song Danni picked for her and sand one of her own choosing. I think the judges ripped her apart for it. Again, if I'm wrong I apologise.

Yeah I do remember alright and I do know she had a bit of an attitude but I think it was blown way out of proportion. She wasn't happy with the song choices she was getting, which was fair enough, if she's not comfortable then why shouldn't she speak up? IIRC she did pick a bad song for herself at one stage, but then another week she sang an Amy Winehouse song that she chose herself (the same one she sang in auditions I think) and got all-round praise.

And I think she should be commended for standing up to Simon Cowel Damn right he doesn't know what it's like to be up there!

I just think the hatred for her was unfounded. She was fighting the X Factor machine...if someone did that this year they'd be commended!

I think you are right, she was mouthy and had trouble taking advice.
I'm sure she did not stay with the other contestants, she went home to her kids, I could be wrong about this. she was high maintenance.

She had to stay at home to look after her kids, she had no choice...how is that high maintenance?

I am terribly confused. When I first read this I was thinking "ha that's some great satirical writing right there" but after having a browse around the website I actually think it's for real

I cried when I left the stage". Do you now feel sorry for Frankie?

Frankie Cocozza, one of the most endearing contestants in recent years on the X Factor, today revealed he was a broken man when he left the stage on Sunday. Despite being hugely talented, Frankie did not receive enough votes to avoid the dreaded bottom two.

In a dramatic sing-off with Nu-Vibe, whose voices were muted in many homes, Frankie exploded into life and made it impossible for the judges not to save him. Even Tulisa, Nu-Vibe's own mentor, looked mortified in opting to save her own act over Frankie.

Frankie gave serious reflection on the weekend's events and said, "It was really scary...I cried when I left the stage". The sensitive 18-year-old further went on to say, "“I get them [my jeans] in size ten. They are only £8 and they fit me perfectly".

On Saturday Frankie will be back in action and he has been heavily tipped to mount the kind of comeback that has never before been seen on the show. No doubt Gary Barlow, a member of Robbie Williams' Take That, will have worked hard and prepared perfectly for Frankie's next performance.

How do you feel now that Frankie has shown the emotions he was feeling on Sunday night? Is it time to give Frankie the benefit of the doubt and accept that we were wrong? He is not arrogant, he is not big-headed, he's just a young, down-to-earth lad trying to make his luck in this world. Good luck to him.

I don't have time to browse the site so maybe it's obvious but surely that article is pure satire and taking the piss out of itself. Like it's the exact opposite of the truth

' Gary Barlow, a member of Robbie Williams' Take That''

Yeah, it has to be. There's not really a single line in it that doesn't reek of sarcasm.

"Bum boys"??? Jaysus...

I actually didn't have a clue that Craig was gay!

Hopefully Gary won't spend all week working with Frankie to make sure he avoids the bottom two and thereby neglecting Craig and Marcus.






Especially Craig as I placed a bet on him a few weeks ago

I've always wondered do they actually spend much time working with their acts, and I wonder who takes the mentor role seriously? Remember Simon couldn't even name the individual members of his biggest act last year!

JP Liz V1

Gary's best chance of winning is with Craig so he should put his all into him (I'm sure Craig would like that too )

Since Rachel Hylton was mentioned previously I think Misha reminds me of her

Frankie will have no problem.....

from a poll taken earlier this year in England on teenagers.

Asked the question "What would you like to do for your career?", some 54 per cent answered "Become a celebrity".


One in six (15 per cent) said they wanted to go into medicine or nursing, while around one in seven are planning a career in the media.


Just 9 per cent want a career in law, 4 per cent would like to go into teaching, and 1 per cent said they will do office work.


Asked how they plan to become famous, 21 per cent said they will do so through reality TV, while 5 per cent said they planned to date a celebrity.
But almost seven in 10 (68 per cent) did not know how to become famous, and less than a fifth (19 per cent) said they believed they had the talent to reach their goals.


The survey, commissioned by experience day website http://www.intotheblue.co.uk, to mark the increase in customers searching for and buying their Superstar Singer days and dance lessons, also asked teenagers who wanted to be famous to name their role models.
Supermodel Kate Moss was top, chosen by 68 per cent of teenagers.
Footballer Wayne Rooney was second, picked by 60 per cent, followed by pop star Lady Gaga (53 per cent) and Celebrity Big Brother star Nicola T (50 per cent).

That poll must have been taken backstage at the Jeremy Kyle show.

See i don't just want Frankie to be knocked out, what I would really like is to see him crash and burn and be found out for what we all see him for. I know se touched on it before but Gary is a sharp guy so he can't truly believe the ****e that he is spouting. To me it looked much more then the usual "backing your own acts" that understandably happens. Maybe it's like someone mentioned that he knows how much of a mistake he/the producers have made by bringing him out of judges houses and that's why he's being pushed on us.

Any body think we should all vote for Kitty to force him into the bottom two
