X Factor 2010

cher will be big in america - hasn't jay z / nicole whatsherface / other rnb rap folk been bigging her up already? no chance over here though - boy bands are back in it seems (people saying one direction wont sell much - if people are buying stuff from the wanted, god help this whole countries taste in commercial music at the moment :S)

[ampersand]

Do we know what theme it is this week? We haven't had the annual Michael Bubble love in yet... Big band weeks always suck, I hope they've ditched it this year

[rachbon]

he was on in week two so they've kinda already had it. weird that there's been no mentoring from outside parties yet has there?

Jay Z backing Cher will do f**k all IMO, it was Jay Z who signed Lady Sovreign to Def Jam Records I think and her career hardly took off.

it's probably all paper bullshit anyway.

[markeee]

I still like Cher, I was shocked when she was in the bottom 2 2 weeks ago - but there was like 0 chance of her being in the bottom 2 last week imo, all her fans would be out in force voting for her after that

Maybe people thought she was safe, so didn't bother voting

Cher to win!!

[markeee]

so they finally managed to fix it to get rid of wagner.

it was obvious right away when he was the first act on that they were determined to get rid of him this weekened. he had the worst slot, first act on then his second song was right in the middle of the show so he gets lost amongst everyone else. and cher was on last so that she'd get more votes.

obviously no one knows who got more votes out of wagner and mary, but i'd be very surprised if wagner came second last. if it was just down to the public vote last night, mary probably would have went along with katie.

i'm sure that in previous years, they have stopped doing the bottom two and just having the public vote a few weeks before the final. obviously had to change it this year to get rid of wagner. the judges shouldn't have any say in it this late on in the show.

when cheryl voted him off, it really pissed me off when she said something along the lines of "we haven't always got on, but you apologised to me and i accepted it." for a start, wagner DID NOT apologise to her for anything, definitely not on telly anyway, and he had f**k all to apologise for! she tried to make him look a dick, but she just made herself look like a dick. she's a really vile creature and has almost made the x factor unbearable to watch this year.

no surprise that cheryl looked gutted when rebecca was put through before cher last night. obviously cher is the only act she gives a f**k about, despite rebecca being much more talented and probably a nicer person. the smug look on cher's face after she finishes her performance every week is so f**king frustrating to watch.

it's been quite an annoying series this year. the show has definitely revolved around certain acts a lot more than it has in previous years.

not sure if i'm going to watch it anymore, it kind of stops being an entertainment show when the judges and contestants are complete c**ts and it's just annoying to watch it.

rachel - Agree with that, Cherlys ego's so inflated she just loves attention and a mini Cher..well what more could she want. Knowing how you hate Cheryl..guess you'll be hoping she gets refused a visa to work on X factor in america , there was talk about the possibility due to her conviction for abh years ago.

[ampersand]

when is the x factor starting in america? there's loads of stories about cheryl either getting the job or not getting it, so f**k knows what's true. i can't really see why she would get it. she's not even that popular in britain anymore.. nicole sherzinger would be much better.

[rachbon]

i think you're confusing your facebook friends to the rest of the uk. everyone in my office loves her. she apparently thumped rihanna to no.1 recently and she's not called the nations sweetheart for nothing *boke*

i cannae stand her either though. wish more were like me and you.

the theme this week is club classics

the theme this week is club classics

[rachbon]

does that include 'you've got the loaf'? shame wagner is out

[ampersand]

what is a club classic though? it could be anything. loads of different songs could be considered club classics. just seems pointless having a theme.

that voice coach woman yvie was just on this morning and she totally tried to avoid the subject when they suggested that wagner isn't allowed to give interviews..

[rachbon]

i imagine club classics to be stuff like her and gloria gaynor and all that bollocks. but i'm probably way off the mark. you're right, they'll be about half the songs where the theme won't relate at all. not watching at all though.

why do you think they're silencing him? whatever he's got to say will come out in the end.

[rachbon]

[rachbon]

only one act going tonight, that'll be mary then.

My conspiracy theory is they were going to do one a week until the semi at which point they were going to eliminate two people. But they knew Wagner was getting in the bottom three and they didn't want to take the risk of him getting to the semis where there could well have been a rallying cry from the xfactor haters, Wagner lovers, to get him to the final, so they decided to do the double elimination last week instead.

Otherwise it just doesn't make any sense why they would do a double elimination in the middle of the competition and then resort to a single elimination for the semi final.

Surprised Dannii or Simon didnt take the chance to do some tactical voting and knock out Cher, as Mary is much less of a threat to Matt/One Direction.

Predictable and shite tho. There's really not a point in doing a sing off

[Ed209]

what did mary say on ITV 2 last night?!

[funkymp]

Rebecca 29%, Matt 25%, One Direction 19%, Cher 14%, Mary 13%

Supposedly the votes for tonight.

Bloody obvious that Cher was going through, Simon kept looking at Cheryl and smiling before he said.

Why did Djibril Cisse from Black Eyed Peas say there were 2 left and just mention Cher and Rebecca
