    As another xfactor awaits us all tomorrow night, I thought I'd make another thread like last years to keep all the "OMG ONE DIRECTION ARE GOOONNNEE" and "GWAN WAGNEER" aarrrgghs and yaaaaahs seperate.

    As we know Danni, Simon and Cheryl have all been replaced with the new judging panel of Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland, Tulisa <insert long name I don't know> and our own Lulu <3
    What are yer thoughts on it? :)
    I'M SO EXCITED.

    (Although I probs won't grow to like Gary Barlow.. I've this feeeeeeling)

    Not X Factor without Simon. :S


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,109 ✭✭✭QueenOfLeon


    AHHH! WOOO!! So excited :D

    I think the panel will be...interesting. I think Simon hadn't been as entertaining the last year or two as he was before, so bring on the newbies! I don't like Kelly Rowland though, theres something about her...

    I didn't know they were changing the judges - no Simon or Cheryl? :eek:

    They should have made Wagner a judge

    Mm, well Cheryl took the US XFactor which turned out magnificently for her, and Simon's doing that as well. He's still involved in the production of the UK one though. And Dannii's Australia's Got Talent was clashing with the shows over here so she couldn't do it.

    /well of pointless information

    Ohhhhhhhhhh

    I was wondering why the adjective "magnificently" was used, thought it was a bit much!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    Every year I tell myself I won't get sucked into this. Only the awesomeness of Wagner made me watch last year (though Rebecca Ferguson was good, in fairness) so without him I might be ok.

    Kelly Rowland and Gary Barlow definitely have better musical credentials than Dannii and Cheryl did so those two will probably make for credible judges at least. Pity they couldn't get rid of Louis Walsh or find anyone better than Little Miss N'Dubz though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,248 ✭✭✭Slow Show


    The countdown to Christmas begins here. :D I have fairly low expectations what with not really liking the new judging panel. Like Gary Barlow's grand but as a judge, I dunno, and Kelly Rowland annoys me and I'm not exactly an N-Dubz fangirl. At least Louis is still there. But I had a friend who went to one of the auditions and she said it was really good even with the new judges so fingers crossed. Also I'm looking forward to seeing soccy and deise's obsession of this year. :p

    Yeah probably, I've nothing better to be at, and I need to sleep early tonight before I collapse and die. I've a horrible feeling it's going to be underwhelming and there'll be barely anything to talk about though. :(

    Done. :p Weird coincidence, I was actually watching the YouTube video just there. Kinda grows on ya. Kindaaaaaa. :p

    Yeaa most likely, everyones saying woo auditions but auditions are least fave part(Used be bootcamp until the dancing and stuff) I dont get all excited and intense till the Live shows!

    And yeaa but that clip is just amazing, all the camera angles etc <3

    Watching the rewind thing, expecting to cry when 1D are announced 3rd :P

    As Noel pointed out.....sarcasm! :P

    Ooh this thread is nice and easy going compared to the other one. So far...I don't like Gary trying to be Simon, Kelly's voice is annoying, older blondie is irritating, younger blondie is very good :)


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 7,852 Mod ✭✭✭✭suitcasepink


    Honestly thought it was close to dire lawds :(

    Mind you it did get overshadowed halfway when I found out one of my frenchies added me on facebook, but still..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32 _mocha_


    I missed the first 15mins, but I didn't think any of the contestants were that good...:(

    I loved the girl from Co. Down though!
    I hope its a good series...:)

    Oh sorry, she was Janet from Tyrone! Dunno what put Down in my head..:p

    She gave me chills anyway!:)

    Just saw that girl's audition on Youtube. I won't watch the rest of the X-factor, but I think I'll keep an eye on her online. Her performance was spine-tinglingly good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,321 ✭✭✭Jackobyte


    Janet Devlin is very cute. >.>

    I didn't mind the judges much, like I'm indifferent towards Kelly Rowland but Gary Barlow is some man, Tulisa actually seems alright and Louis is Louis <3. There was a distinct lack of chemistry between them, but it beat the Simon and Cheryl show. The worst thing about the auditions so far is that apart from Janet Devlin, there was a complete lack of talent. But meh, I always hate the auditions (no one is bad enough to surprise me anymore. :(). I thought last year's were awful too and quite enjoyed the live shows, so hopefully it shall pick up. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    Just caught up with it this morning.
    And have to say I love the new judging panel.
    But then again, I despised Cheryl and Simon (he was so fake and always had his eye on $$$$$$$ and not about spotting new talent at all) so anything was better than those 2.

    Janet Devlin sent shivers down my spine and that crazy Chinese wan, could she be the novelty act this year? It would make my life if she was :D
    Last night's show wasn't as awful as some people were making it out to be :P I thought it was graaaaand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,849 ✭✭✭bluejay14


    My Saturday nights have now been taken over from now until Christmas...

    The auditions so far haven't been that greatest.....apart from one or two they were pretty average but thelast fella was hilarious. After all he went on about how he'd completely changed his attitude and matured fully he was nothing of the kind, he turned out to be just as bad as the last time in every way.

    As for the new judges....I think Gary thinks he's trying to be the new Simon and saying no to nearly everyone who's not amazing, that Tulisa one is alright I s'pose even if I completely hate N'Dubz, Kelly's alright aswell I suppose although she could get annoying and Louis is the same as ever. :) I'm glad that they got rid of the Simon and Cheryl show but I don't think the four of them go together very well, maybe they just need time to get to know each other a bit.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 silvercrown


    My favourite judge is Louis even though he's annoying sometimes... :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭degausserxo


    Wasn't too mad about that Irish girl. She had an alright voice, but nowhere near as good as the judges made it out to be. Parts were shaky and she couldn't handle the low notes. And she said she was doing the Elton John version but then did the Ellie Goulding cover.. Story with that? Dying to see your man Michael again though, he was so cringingly bad/hilarious!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 105 ✭✭Karl96


    Tulisa... Nuff said :P
    No really, that girl Janet on Saturday was brilliant :) she really was.
    When the fella lost it and went crazy I thought that was hilarious, hahaha :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 764 ✭✭✭floutingmaxims


    Louis looks fair sexy in that pic o_O

    Only saw Janet and the guy with all the girls names on his bum. Everyone loved him, i thought he was a twat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 42 Cherry_Angel


    Hate it so far..... BRING BACK SIMON :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,654 ✭✭✭shadowninty


    Gonna try keep up with it this year, Cheryl's gone but the two women look interesting. Louie's great

    My mam loved him!

    Was I the only one who cried at that Jade girl and her adorable Granny?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 King LeBron


    Jade Richards was pretty awesome! I preferred Janet Devlin's audition though :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 584 ✭✭✭Skintwin


    Jade Richards was pretty awesome! I preferred Janet Devlin's audition though :D
    I thought that Jade was a million miles ahead of Janet, but then, they sang two different styles of song, which require different types of voices.
    But yes, Jade is the one for me. I never have favourites this close to the start, and I know someone in boot camp, but I want her (or the girl I know) to win...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭jumpguy


    I quite like Tulisa tbh. Cheryl was a bit of a 'tard, Simon's puppet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 584 ✭✭✭Skintwin


    I like her too, she's not afraid to tell the truth straight out instead of completely sugar-coating it.
    I miss Simon though, not sold on Gary Barlow yet...

    i didn't think i'd like tulisa at all but i really like her
    however, i love kelly rowland, she's so genuine and out-straight


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,109 ✭✭✭QueenOfLeon


    I really like Tulisa too. I like how theres no playing up of the competition between the girls on the panel like there used to be between Dannii/Sharon/Cheryl, they seem to actually...shocker...get on well! :P

    I don't like Kelly's over-exaggerations. She does have the shiniest hair I've ever seen though.

    I reeeally like the Xtra Factor presenters!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,248 ✭✭✭Slow Show


    Gary Barlow is my new hero. Best judge ever! Also he does not look forty. Maybe thirty-five, but forty? :eek: Judges are graaaand, I really like Tulisa and Kelly Rowland still annoys me a little bit but compared to how I felt about Cheryl I'd have a Kelly Rowland shrine in my room. So good times.

    Am I missing out loads by not being bothered to watch the Xtra Factor? I don't really like the auditions anyway, rather than spending another hour watching more. My stupid attention span is probably ruining a pleasant evening's television...

    Xtra Factor is the best!! The hosts are so funny and you get info on all the acts and stuff.. tbh it's better than the real show half the time!

    Some of The X Factor lads were on Jonathan Ross last night. There's a glorious bit early on concerning Louis. :D

    No. My throat closed up and I could barely see through the tears. My mam was the same. She BETTER be back in the twist next week.
