Are you watching it or you'd rather poke your eyes with your Christmas tree's pine needles?

Anyway, I have watched some episodes, and if I'm in tonight, I may just watch it.

My point is, who do you want to win?

I know Louisa kid is impeccable with her singing talent, but Reggie and Bolie are dead nice people as well. I think they can kind of sing (or shall I say- talk) a bit as well; in their own way.

What do you reckon?

The only person who wins on X-Factor is Simon Cowell. Everyone else loses.

I feel sorry for the winner(s). Its always the runners up (last few) who tend to be more successful than the winner!

Turbohot

I agree, RAF1. Why does that happen, I wonder? Is it because the winners go all a bit too confident and mess it up, up there? And the runners-up put double their effort to sell their record, afterwards? Or is it because they were wrongly voted to be the winners, at first place?

Just says all you need to know about X factor.

Reggie n Bollie are an all time low for Music.

Acts like that used to be seen as a joke. Cheeky girls or Black Lace etc etc.

Turbohot

Well, the start song with everyone singing was diabolical. Let's see if it gets any better or worse.

We've been watching it from the start. Louisa should win and I think she probably will. Reggie and Bollie are great entertainers but they are not the best singers. We enjoy it though .

Utter utter sh1te , I don't think I've watched it since that leona Lewis was on it , that doris could sing

Turbohot

Yes, but I've noticed one thing. When Reggie and Bollie were on the stage, I didn't want to leave the sofa as I wanted to watch them. When Louisa sang, I got up to make a cupola, as I could hear her in the kitchen, and that was enough. R and B are worth watching and Louisa is worth listening to. Not that she's not pretty to look at, but she ain't really entertaining, tbh. She is a singer while the boys are entertainers, you're right.

As for the guest singers, I noticed that Coldplay had their band name printed on their gear bilingually in Hindi. I think they've recently been to India and are still feeling spiritual in Hanuman-ish way, hence the monkey dance and flower garlands with their happy clappy number. 1D's first song was well out of tune. Didn't know Beckham was their die hard fan.

Turbohot

Look,if you haven't watched it since Leona was on it, then you wouldn't know if it was shyte or what; since then on.

Her indoors has it on upstairs .....
The ps4 lives downstairs

Turbohot

May be, but have you noticed how the smaller one dances with his bendy, skinny legs? Well rapid, man!

Turbohot

And you live between the two. Your body with PS4 and ears and mind with XFactor. Nice Don't blame your missus for having it on upstairs. Now I know how much you really love XFactor!

Turbohot

Adele was superb with 'Hellooooooooh!'

I noticed the Arabic looking text on their drums. Obviously I had no idea why or even what it said but if you say they've just been to India then maybe that explains it. Seems odd though.

daviee

Quality act missed out on her tour tickets thanks to the touts.

Turbohot

Oh, well. Louisa won. Congrats to her

who ?

whats this x thingy you talked about

Turbohot

This ^ attitude is soooooo yesterday's!

There's always one or two deep fried Homers who'd come in to comment such as 'who', 'what' and 'who watches this shyte' etc. They need to get a life.

legb4rsk

Yeah,well done them.Only 45 odd years after the Beatles et al did it.

Turbohot

It wasn't Arabic, it was Hindi, you fruit! Hindi looks nothing like Arabic. Arabic is downwardly curvy and gets written from right to left, whereas Hindi in written from left to right under a Line with certain pronunciations symbolised above the line. Didn't look odd to me at all. It's like that in India almost everywhere. In Wales as well, everything is written bilingually; in English as well as in Welsh. So, I'm used to seeing this oddness all the time. Difference is, I can read, write and speak Hindi, but not Welsh.


Edited to say: LSH, you meant that their bilingualism seemed odd because you didn't know why it was there on display. I agree. I purely guessed their India visit because I clocked one of their stills with Holi colours splashes all over them. Then the monkeys and garlands made me put 2 and 2 together. I should be known as Sherlock Holmes the Second,

Glad the somalian pirates didn't win.... it would have been a travesty if they'd won over Louisa who can actually sing!

And shes amazing for 17!!

That new xmas single though! - utter utter dirge that suited neither of them....
Reggie & Bollie feckin murdered it when they 'sang' it,and Louisa just about managed to carry it....

Who the hell chose that as the Christmas Single? should be strung up.... jeeez

RS_Matt

When Bollie's head went down and he started dribbling on his stepson's arm, what was that about?

Think you'll find they are from Ghana

Turbohot

Shouldn't laugh but.......

Yes, really bad Christmas single. I can't even remember ever hearing the original!

That's why he put a winky ()after the 'Somalian Pirates' term. He knows that they're not necessarily from Somalia.

It's like Caucasian folks. No matter where they come from, a Ghanian would think that they all come from Liverpool.

Turbohot

Did he? I missed that. Could have been a stress response. Or, perhaps he was crying and the dribble was actually his nasal discharge that often goes with one's highly emotive tearful state. I don't know tbh. Twitter him to find out.

RS_Matt

Thought it was nerves at first, maybe fighting the feeling of feinting but then he looked up after dribbling and looked a bit strange. I kinda thought side effects of some prescribed calming drug or something. Bizarre moment nonetheless.
