re matts spoiler - shes good but not an x factor winner.

the thing about x factor is the tv part before the live shows is a bit of a con.

they portray that every one goes before the judges,

they dont,

my mates friend started his quest in march, he had to audition before the producers, he had to see them 3 times, then he went before the judges, 

Spoiler

got through boot camp now his is to go to the judges home last 6 in the under 25s

yes i know MIB but its part of my response would you have me post an unfiltered spoiler.

I have to say Im looking forward to Saturday as it's some of the funniest TV about. Plus I'll be watching with my sister (As I'll be on holiday) and when one of us starts we both fall about laughing...

Oh God.....on Xtra Factor that Eminem wannabe twat from a few years back has returned with a moose of a fiancee` who let him impregnate her and they both auditioned!

Thankfully they both failed.

For all the flak this show gets I don't mind it so much as the winner does (ostensibly) have to earn their prize and exhibit some degree of talent in doing so - even if the end result is always subject to personal taste.

As opposed to other shows like Big Brother where people win money and 15 minutes of infamy for sitting around a house doing sweet FA and behaving like an arsehole, I'll take X-Factor and American Idol over BB any day of the week.

The Mirror ran a story today about the guy who appeared on the show this past Saturday who claimed he had been fostered out which has been denied - by his real father!!

Did your mate Scott have a sob story we can expose?

and so it begins

Early truce for Dannii and Cheryl

Minogue won last year's series with Scottish singer Leon Jackson
Dannii Minogue has said it is too early to rule out a confrontation with fellow X Factor judge, singer Cheryl Cole.

In an interview with the Radio Times the singer said: "Everybody's jumping on me going, 'What's Cheryl like? Are you two fighting yet?'

"Well, I've only had a few days of filming with her so far, so let's wait and see," the 36-year-old added.

Girls Aloud star Cole has replaced Sharon Osbourne on the judging panel for the fifth series of the contest.

'Won't be missed'

There was speculation that 55-year-old decided to leave the show because of a series of rows between her and Minogue.

"We weren't friends," said Minogue, "We weren't always fighting, but Sharon made it clear that she didn't like me, so she won't be missed. Not by me."

The Australian singer who now thinks "The new line-up works brilliantly," also revealed how she told newcomer Cole: "Have fun. Enjoy it."
Cole joins current judges Minogue, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh

"We're all so passionate about music, this is what we love, so just be yourself. That's what people want to see. It'll be interesting to see how she handles it," she added.

Cole has made comments about Minogue's appearance in the past, saying: "She doesn't look natural. I don't think men find her attractive."

Minogue, who joined the show in 2007, said how she lives for the extrovert characters that audition for the programme.

"Sometimes you're laughing right at them and they don't see it. They're in their own world. It's like we're not even there," she said.

The new series of X Factor starts on Saturday.

"We all love music so much..." Thats why we have made some of diabolical songs just to make money...

Just caught the end of this show and boy oh boy what a fruitcake that woman was,dont watch X factor myself as i dislike the whole thing,either complete idiots go on their or seeing some honest and genuine peoples dreams go up in smoke isnt all that great viewing for me.Cant believe some of the people who go on actually think they are awesome!

1) it's "mate" not m8 (text speak=ban!)

2) Yeah right....

3) He won't win.

 

No. Text speak outside of mobile phones is ridiculous looking and lazy. Only ignorant and lazy kids do it. You are a grown man. Really, I don't mean to seem like I'm picking on you but for crying out loud have some dignity.

And there is no such word as "gooder" either....

Totty, I have no problem with Braxious or him supporting his mate whatsoever. I also understand his issues with dyslexia and I respect him for doing his best overcome that to get his degree in English. But we - including DM - have had this text speak discussion with him before and yet the message doesn't seem to have sunk in.

Text speak on a forum where intelligent chat, debate and discussion is encouraged is no place for such lax and irritating childish practices. Save it for the mobile phone.

Seriously, I wish this wasn't an issue and I'm sick of having to raise it but it's really not much to ask that we keep this inane and ugly habit away from these forums is it?

Thank you. That's all we ask.

And it's "acquiesce"...

 you shouldn't be the anime mod, you should be the spelling and grammar mod

No. Even I'm not THAT tragic.....

So your mate Scott is an alcoholic?

*Rushes to tell the newspapers...

DM man that text speak thing had just calmed down, you come along and fire it back up again!

Surely he would already know what judge his is being mentored by after the boot camp stage? That's when they usually let them know after they've whittled the numbers down isn't it?

And I hope you use the "spoiler" tags when posting this info.

You didn't in your last post....

Still not seen any of this yet, but did see this news report.

X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has been told to keep her hands off a "good-looking" male contestant. cherylcoleMarried Cole was reportedly smitten with 22-year-old singer Joseph Chukukere and called him "gorgeous", while also admitting to "flirting" with him after the auditions.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, 18-year-old girlfriend Frankie Hayes said that Chukukere was "spoken for" and that they "are in love and have been going out for a year."

Hayes didn't blame Cole for liking her beau, but warned the pop star to "keep her hands to herself." Chukukere will be appearing on this weekend's show to sing a cover of "Ain't No Sunshine".
