I need to start by saying that the charity single made me feel sick. Mary looked like Casper on steroids surrounded by a bunch of ghosts. I mean, who the hell decided to put them all in white? what was it supposed to signify??? Spewing!!!!
It was no surprise that Katie was called first to give her that little boast of confidence that the public had 'got behind her' again, I question those that picked up their phone to vote for her? There are starving people on the streets that could really do with that 25p.
Well well well, little Cher had a little shock this evening and went as white as a sheet. The fact that the song she had prepared is one that she has already sang suggests she was very confident in her safety. For those of you that don't know all contestants have a song in case they need to compete in the showdown but rehearsal time is limited and they may only have an hour with a vocal coach so its really down to them to make sure it's sound. Something tells me not a lot of thought went into that little number......
Poor Paije, he had no hope in hell of getting through against Cher/Cheryl. He might as well of just walked on and sat down on the stage and said 'Sod it!', Oh yeah, sorry Katie already did that.
Tiny tears/rainy face strolls on the stage looking like she's been dragged through a hedge backwards wearing SOCKS, yes thats correct SOCKS and bangs out a song she has already done before.
SO Simon takes ages milking his vote when we all know exactly what he is gonna do followed rapidly by Danny and Cheryl. Then its down to Louis to grow a pair of balls and go against Simon and Cheryl to take it to deadlock and let the public decide. But no, as suspected he can't develop in enough time and does the obvious thing and send home Paije.
I just need to end this by saying SOCKS?? SOCKS???? she wore socks and jeans on stage? she offended me more than Wagner has done from day one.
XOXO

John Lennon is rolling in his grave.....
So I'm going to be fair and say it wasn't as bad as I expected tonight!! I winced in pain when they announced it was Beatles week and began mentally preparing myself for ear torture but I wasn't that terrible. Ahhhh, who am I kidding? If it came on the radio I would turn it off quicker than you can say Yellow Submarine.
I need to start with Matt, poor poor boy. Put in a wife beater vest and given those hideous red sequin dancers behind him along with an average song with no chance to show his miraculous range. To top it all off they put him first!!! If the entire female population weren't mad on Matt after that forgettable performance he may of been at risk but I would say he can do no wrong at this stage.
Another victim of the Beatles week was Rebecca, what can I say?? she looked terrified and in pain at times. She was obviously struggling and didn't know where to place her voice most of the song. She even made a mortified face when she messed up the tune in the early part of the song. Sometimes its best to just sing the tune if you are struggling with a song babes. We will forgive you on this occasion. Loved the Donna Summer vintage look though.
I think Cher has really proved herself this last few weeks, at 17 years old she has so much guts and gives such a truthful performance each week. Thats said, I wouldn't rush out to buy her music although I'm sure she has every teenager in the UK to do that. I loved that she just sat and gave a simple performance for a change (But I'll be honest I was waiting for the beat to come in and her to jump of the staircase but it didn't happen).
One direction sucked, hated the clear perspex box again. Hated the song choice. Surprise surprise Louis loved it. Why? because it was so old, so unoriginal and utterly boring. I would rather watch Jedward. Simon's desperate begging pleas for votes at the end of their song are embarrassing and just shows how much he is bricking himself that his poor kids will be out.
Paige was given the best song and best production but I felt I wanted more. He could of taken it up an octave and really rifted in the last chorus but I wonder if someone has stopped him doing it? (we all know the contestants do not have the final say). HATED the brushed velvet jacket, it offended me in very possible way. Why can't they dress this kid like he wants to be dressed??? Give him some crazy shirts, high tops and some bling. He is SCREAMING to be pimped up!!!! I am convinced he is being played down intentionally. I am positive his voice does more than they are allowing..........
How dare Wagner compare himself to Pavarotti! He can't actually think he can sing to the same standard??? The medleys he gets every week ruin my life and although I want to say he should win the competition just to show what a debacle the X Factor is-I can't. For the talent that remains-PLEASE get him out!!!!!! I thought Cheryl was utterly contradictory when she quoted things that he had supposedly said about her in the papers, the girl that continuously slates the press and gave the 'woe is me' Piers Morgan interview slating all the lies that had been written about her-I'm the only woman in the world going through it-divorce. Wagner may be horrendous but he didn't deserve that show of bitterness. YUCK!
Mary bored me, I'm sorry but I am underwhelmed. I have nothing to say.
Katie/Peter pan/twiggy/pixie is clearly going through an identity crisis. Maybe she thinks the public will think she's someone else and vote for her? We can still see you Katie! and we still don't like you!!!!! There's something about her performance that makes me itch. It's like she looks up for approval after each line. She really does need help, yes and NO Louis Walsh she doesn't look like a supermodel-in any way. In defence to the hairdresser that sorted the mop on her head out it is so much better that the blond straw and I would like to say a heartfelt thankyou for not making me look at those big-ass roots anymore.
So who's in the bottom two???
I am struggling to call it this week, I think there are a couple at risk but I'm gonna have a crack and say One direction and Katie.
XOXO

Elton must of cleaned his specs a few times this evening!!!!
I bet poor Elton couldn't believe what he was witnessing!!! I cannot believe that such influential people in the industry can sit there, straight faced and praise some of these performances!!!! YUCK!!!
I have to start with Mary, she may be sweet, she may work for Tesco's in Ireland and she may be an old try-hard but lets be totally honest if she's not banging out David Alexander or Better Midler she struggles. She murders the Elton classic tonight-despite it being the most obvious/easiest choice for her. Her notes were shaky and the poor dab looked utterly terrified! Originally tipped to win she is at risk of the boot before the final if she doesn't sort it out!
Lets talk about little miss drama, Katie. WHY oh WHY will she not do her roots???? can someone please do it while she sleeps?? I cannot believe she is happy to appear on TV with fat black roots!!??!! Hated her outfit, HATED the song for her an the 'I'm so much fun' performance. No Katie, you are not fun, you sat down last week on national TV and said 'sod it' whilst fighting for the biggest chance you will ever get in your life and watched a far more talented person leave the stage. Simon only said a few positive things cos Cheryl filled up with tears when Louis had a dig at the shocking song choice. Nice touch with the 'Miss World' speech though and milking meeting the kids-it wont get you any more votes but 10/10 for effort.
Is Louis Walsh on speed?? He tells Wagner he is like Elton John????? One of the most successful musicians EVER. Even funnier Wagner, rather than graciously thanking Louis for his comment, tells him off for getting his name wrong!!! lets be fair, who cares what your name is? Wagner, wanker, wanger? probably the most talentless man to get this far in a talent competition in history I mean even chico was better than him right?
One direction. What can I say? they had the boyband song, they had the lit up boxes, the piro, the suits and they even had the Westlife movement going on. The big drum bangs then the microphones come off and they do the on the spot walk although never really going anywhere. All they needed were some stools for the total effect. There's no disputing these kids can sing and they are pretty but Simon is very deluded if he believes he has found something totally original. Very clever production though, getting Emma Watson to big them up on the launch week of the new movie.
Matt, Rebecca and Cher were by far the strongest this evening. Rebecca was her usual-stand there on a stage with closed eyes-self but gave a good vocal although I can't help be a bit bored with her, I just want to here something else now or at least see her move and sing?! not even dance JUST move.
Matt was flawless and blasted out yet another spotless vocal looking as relaxed as ever holding on comfortably to the favourite to win spot.
I enjoyed Cher's performance, yes the song choice was obvious but she has so much guts and personality on the stage its so refreshing although when I compare her to other artists in the real world such as Rihanna, Beyonce, Missy and Mary J it all feels a little silly but then she is 17 so it's early days yet.
Prediction for bottom two...
Paije-Utterly shafted, not great but shafted none the less. Put first, given an unknown song. The poor lad is clearly up for the chop and it will take an utter miracle to save him. I feel for Paije as he clearly has real talent but I get the impression he is not being allowed to express himself as he wants to.
Katie-Apparently the girl that Simon thinks the public want to see each week despite her being in the bottom two week on week. Very keen to see if he votes tactically again to save her as lets face it, she is pretty much a dead cert to make the bottom to for every week she remains bless her.
Thanks for reading, be back tomorrow after results.
XOXO

Lots of blood, devil horns, zombies and Wagner!!!
I would like to start by saying how much I HATED the dirty, stinking, tacky Halloween theme. Seeing Mary in devil horns sliming around the stage make me feel a tad queasy.
Belle Amie were HORRIFIC!!!!!! even the vile costumes and the zombies didn't make it interesting. The vocals were shaky and they looked at the judges with so much scorn and hatred in their eyes during feedback it was hilarious. The tiny girl with the bright red hair looked especially pissed off which I deeply enjoyed. You cannot compare them to The Saturdays (who I detest equally), Girls aloud or even the Sugarbabes back in the day and to think of all the talented groups simon shafted to include this 'made up' band, get um off!!!!!
Rebecca please open your eyes!!!!!!!!!!!! the vocals were strong but if I paid £50 pounds to see her at concert I would be suicidal! She's like frigging little voice!! they should just not bother doing her hair and make-up and just leave her in her PJs, give her a microphone and whack her in a cardboard box on stage cos, lets be honest, the box would be more interesting than Rebecca!
What can I say about Treyc? 10/10 for effort. The black Lipstick looked like she had been munching through a hundred blackjacks and the starting position with her sprawled across a chaise lounge was a tad pointless. YES her vocals are good but what market does she sit in????? who the hell will buy her music??????? I don't understand !!! and it is a difficult one as she probably is the most versatile contestant but you just don't warm to her. Think its time to say goodbye to Tray-hay-sea-c.
The two stand out performers from last night were for sure Matt and Cher. I much preferred Matts version of the immensely challenging Bleeding Love to Leona's and I am pretty confident he is the strongest male vocalist that the X Factor has EVER seen. LOVED Cher last night, one of my fave songs ever the Shakespeare sisters Stay from back in 1992! not quite sure how old Cher was then actually? pretty sure she was in infants bless her. I didn't think her vocals were astounding but the girl demonstrates she can pretty much do anything. Didn't get the tears at the end though. Not sure about that.
Finally-can I suggest they give Wanger/wagner/wanker a head mic please?? the mans hands shake so much it brings a tear to my eye.
There could be some shock results this week (I'm a tad nervous for the old devil Mary but I'm gonna assume that the million branches of Tesco's will have some sort of voting ploy to keep her in) so I'm gonna make my predictions anyway....
Predictions for bottom two-
Treyc- I can't see anyone being bothered to pick up the phone and vote for her again.
Belle Amie-Time is up for this girl-we're not really a band-band.
I'd also like to add in a best and worst outfit of the week-
Worst - Katie Waissel (WTF) she looked like and albino on acid!
Best-Paige wins again, the lad looks cool. Simon Cowell needs to get over it.
XOXOxo

Don't call us-we'll call you guys.......
Bet you laughed out loud at least once during that first song? What a vile way to begin a show, all acts smiling and bouncing around the stage and singing the most horrendous song ever. Oh sorry, did I say singing? sorry I meant miming. There were no challenging harmonies in the whole song so can someone please explain why these people must mime??? I'm sure they don't actually want to because, lets be fair, as an aspiring popstar you don't want to start your career miming!!! especially to a ballad with a little drums! The highlight was Wagner's two words 'why, why!' which were even recorded out of tune.
I'd like to say a big thankyou to Cheryl, Cher, no sorry Cheryl for her dance. Or was it Cher? I'm not sure.
As predicted John and Treyc were bottom two and after the piss poor effort by both to save their skins I would of got rid of them both.
What can I say about poor John? bloody horrendous. He obliterated the Kelly Clarkson song, stumbling over words, shaking his head and made a right pigs ear of the entire thing. A bit of a shock really given that the guy has been entertaining for years and couldn't get through a minute and a half.
Treyc chose the very obvious 'One Night Only' and relied on her big belting vocal chords to get her through the song. I've seen more emotion from a frigging butcher chopping up a pig than from Tray-sea (well if she can have a crack at randomly spelling her name so can I!)
Over and out people! Until next week!

Not feeling quite as ashamed this week.....
So Saturday night was a tad better than the week before and I didn't feel quite as ashamed to be British as last week.
I would like to start by asking WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH DANNI?? is it me or has she turned into some bitter twisted old washer woman??? There is so much hatred on that judges table (with the exception of Simon and Cheryl who I think may actually get it on) they can barley even communicate. Danni seems to of lost her sparkle and is almost just there for the ride. Lets face it we would rather watch Kylie anyway.
WTF was the whole 'shopping on Oxford street' set up??? I'm guessing if you wander into Debenhams with a ten man camera crew you are gonna cause a little stir.
Lets talk about the performances......
Paije was the biggest turn around for me, loved the song choice and loved the outfit. Simon yet again demonstrating he has no clue about fashion felt he didnt look 'pop star' enough. He was wearing a bright red jackets, a chain, baggys and high top trainers, what does the man want?? His vocals were a little bit forced out but he is probably so desperate to get some good comments I don't blame him! A little concerned they have put him first though, everyone knows the first spot is the SPOT OF DEATH and it takes a bloody good performance to make the public remember you enough to pick up the phone and vote.
Most hated performance of the week was Treyc, I HATED the song, HATED the vocals, HATED the dancing and believe she is a target to go. It was so random and it feels like they are intentionally not fitting her into a 'market'. I mean, come on, a rock chick? the poor girl wants to be belting out classic power ballads. If you remember back two years when they tried to make Lucie Jones 'rock chick'. She was hammering the power ballads every week and without a doubt the strongest vocalist but they weren't happy, no they wanted to change her and then she was gone.
If Mary EVER comes out singing a girls aloud song or a Britney number I will actually kill myself. We don't want to see someone over 40 sing songs by 17 year olds, its not cool. The woman can batter a ballad so let her do what she does! we don't say to Eminem 'Could you do something different next time, maybe a ballad? a bit of Nessun Dorma?' SHUT UP. Yet that strange boy, the one that looks as though he is vibrating on a washing machine while singing, the one that is only let out on Saturday and Sunday nights, they let him stand in total darkness belting out strange whiney anthems week after week and he is 'original' apparently.
The bottom acts this week are a tough call and given that many of them sorted themselves out this week its even harder to choose. But I have 100% success so far so am gonna go with my gut and say.....
John Adeleye-100% shafted on song choice and performance, talented unusual entertainer forced to become the new Andy Abraham.
Treyc Cohen-Hideous, not her fault but vile none the less. Cheryl wants her gone.
Belle Aime-They dont want to be in a band, its quite clear. The first thing they said about their girls aloud rip off song was 'it gives us a chance to show off our voices individually' your in a girl band love, get over it. Your on the show and your in a band, it ain't about you. Theres always Britain''s got talent if it doesn't work out.

CAN I JUST POINT OUT HOW THE WANTED AND ONE DIRECTION ARE TOTAL REPLICAS ?? AND SIMON THINKS HE HAS FOUND AN 'ORIGINAL' BAND, I THINK NOT SIMON!!!
Sunday, 17 October 2010
Surprise surprise!!! not.
As predicted Diva Fever and Storm were given the boot. we might as well just skip to the end of the X-factor and announce the winner cos, lets be honest, we can all guess where it's gonna go!
I must start by slating the utter rubbish performance by Katy Perry, the girl may be 'doing well' and she may have 10 year olds buying her songs all over the world but any woman that thinks its acceptable to scream about a firework AND dress like one AND hold one live on national TV needs some serious help.
Diana Vickers was equally as shocking also some credit should be given for the confidence she seems to have found and she certainly gave a more polished performance since the removal of the famous CLAW. But again, who buys her music? you tell me.
When it came down to the choice between the girlband and the duo it was clear who would and should go through. Although the girls won't be around for long they have far more talent than the boys did-although I think the boys could have a sneaky 'career' gigging around holiday parks etc-not to be sniffed at with a lot of money to be made. I loved their bitterness at the shocking songs they had been given, 'We can sing, if we had been given better songs you would of seen that' hahahahaha. Brilliant. Don't tell my that shoddy song they were given was chosen by them.
Katie managed to slip through the net this week with a very played down performance on Saturday and limited press. The girls got talent for sure and I'm interested to see if she can pull something else out of the bag next week-if the show lets her and it's not 'her turn' for the crap song or the first spot.
Over and out
XOXO

X Factor???? I'm sorry am I missing something?
Am I the only one who thought the X Factor was horrendous this week!????? why are the judges being so nice to some of the most awful contestants in the history of reality TV.
Lets start with Treyce-I tried to make my name sound cool-Cohen. I just don't get it? She destroyed purple rain! My piss sounds better hitting the toilet than when she hit the high notes yet the judges say she is fantastic????? DO we need another Alexandra Burke? whats she achieved? Nothing and what will Treyce AKA Tracey achieve? Nout.
Onto the next piss poor performance of the evening-Belle Amie. Firstly the song they sang had four lines repeated throughout and they were shown arguing in the VT over who was singing which part, what lyrics were there to choose from????? there were only four frigging lines! It reminded me of Atomic kitten back in the day (who I thought were a bunch of Aliens) crossing over into Sugarbabe's territory and I think Cheryl Cole is so scared to criticise them in fear of people saying its 'girlband bitterness' she was forced into singing their praises. Hideous. They won't win. And If Simon Cowell milks the whole 'girl-power' thing one more time!!!!!! When is he gonna realise we don't give a shit?? Stop clinging onto the 90s, nobody cares!!!!!
Highlight of the evening was when Louis referred to Paije (again another one who's had a little fiddle with his birth certificate) as 'a soulful little man'. WTF? 100% not a word I would use to describe him. His performance was utter ROT too. I expected much bigger (excuse the pun) things from him.
I would really like to point out the people I enjoyed but I'm not gonna lie-they were all shit. There was not a single person that wowed me. I will give the best performance of the night to Matt (begrudgingly) his voice (although slightly ripping off James Blunt and james Morrison) is distinct and he is probably the only person who could sell albums.
Thats all I have to say. Sorry.
Predictions this week-
Bottom two- Storm (he sounded like a cat pissing on zinc) and the Diva Fever (just hideous-they actually made me feel sick they were so awful)
Lets start with Treyce-I tried to make my name sound cool-Cohen. I just don't get it? She destroyed purple rain! My piss sounds better hitting the toilet than when she hit the high notes yet the judges say she is fantastic????? DO we need another Alexandra Burke? whats she achieved? Nothing and what will Treyce AKA Tracey achieve? Nout.
Onto the next piss poor performance of the evening-Belle Amie. Firstly the song they sang had four lines repeated throughout and they were shown arguing in the VT over who was singing which part, what lyrics were there to choose from????? there were only four frigging lines! It reminded me of Atomic kitten back in the day (who I thought were a bunch of Aliens) crossing over into Sugarbabe's territory and I think Cheryl Cole is so scared to criticise them in fear of people saying its 'girlband bitterness' she was forced into singing their praises. Hideous. They won't win. And If Simon Cowell milks the whole 'girl-power' thing one more time!!!!!! When is he gonna realise we don't give a shit?? Stop clinging onto the 90s, nobody cares!!!!!
Highlight of the evening was when Louis referred to Paije (again another one who's had a little fiddle with his birth certificate) as 'a soulful little man'. WTF? 100% not a word I would use to describe him. His performance was utter ROT too. I expected much bigger (excuse the pun) things from him.

So I was almost right......well actually if we had found out the ACTUAL voting numbers I'm pretty confident I WAS right.
Surprise surprise the Italian boy leaves the competition!! Come on united kingdom lets be honest and say we are not the biggest fans of the Italian's, we don't even give them any points in Eurovision so we are not gonna vote this kid through on the poxy X Factor are we???
My other bottom two prediction, the strange Katie, clearly has no fan base after the shocking press this week. Louis was pretty clever putting her through ensuring his acts are safe another week as she is 100% in the bottom two again (unless she is dying of a life threatening illness that the papers can write about this week to salvage some votes). FYD may have gone on to do a JLS and make the final so were a big risk for the opposing judges but lets be totally honest they were pretty average on all accounts and I ask you-can you see them playing a stadium? I suppose that doesn't matter so long as Simon has his Christmas number one. I loved how Louis laughed when the strange long haired chief indian was put through, we are going through an economic crisis yet we can afford to vote for obscenity.
Now lets talk about the wonderful Mr Joe McT-Bird,
a) what was he wearing?
b) what was his hair doing?
c) what was he singing?
d) does anyone know if Grease are casting in the west end as he really wants to apply.
If anyone buys his sorry song on i-tunes (and lets be honest, no self respecting individual would actually walk into a shop and be seen spending money on it) they will hear a swift chuckle come from their computer as even i-tunes thinks its funny!!!
Until next week
XOXO

X Factor (9/10/10) - Is this the best British talent they could find? I feel sick.
My ears actually bled last night from the horrendous sounds omitting from my TV. Even the spectacular set, dancers and drag make-up couldn't make some of these hideous contestants stand out.
The funniest moment was before the show even began when ITV introduced the X Factor by saying "There's a surprise in store". WHAT SURPRISE??? Was anyone else surprised by anything last night? Oh yeah, that Louis picked that filthy looking long haired guy Wagner.
We have all read the papers so we all knew that 'poor' Gamu wasn't the wildcard. My first question would be to the production company, I know from experience that you show your passport from the early stages, (usually before you have even seen the celebrity panel) so did anyone not spot that her visa has EXPIRED??? Of course they did, any press is good press. 'Poor' Gamu should be very thankful that Cheryl had been recovering from malaria and her 'judges (not really my house) house' would have been abroad and she wouldn't have got back in to the UK and made the last few scraps of money she can before she gets deported.
So lets talk about the performances, its early days yet and to be frank I really can't be bothered to waste an hour of my life writing about every contestant so I'll share with you my most enjoyable performance and the one that made me want to die.
Without a doubt Mary (pity me because I work at Tesco's) Byrne displayed the most talent. Her vocals were spotless and she appeared by far the most polished contestant. Devastated that the production tried to create her even more pity with a pathetic VT showing the typical visit to the doctors and treatment for laryngitis. I love how they always have to make it a 'condition' rather than just admit her voice was knackered after intensive use over the last few weeks. I doubt she has much of a chance to belt out a tune on the frigging check-out desk so I'm not surprised she's lost her voice.
My most HATED performance of the evening was poor Katie Waissel. She comes across as seriously unhinged-even in her VT. She always looks a tad twitchy. Possibly something to do with the record deal she already had? or perhaps all the different songs the has released under different names? or perhaps the stories printed about her talking about her rampant behaviour? One thing I can vouch for is that she DID work as a receptionist in MY hair salon! Anyway, lets talk about the performance as this was as bad as the press. She began the song playing the piano, totally rooted to the spot and emotionless. Her voice, as it has done throughout the entire series, sounds as though she has just smoked a packet of twenty. To be fair the strange hat on her head distracted me throughout and I'm with Dannii when she questioned the styling. 'WTF?' would have been a more appropriate response. Simon (clearly enjoying the free press and the 'bad girl' he has so longed for on his show) enjoyed the performance and loved the styling which means Katie can be totally sure she looked ridiculous. She was surprisingly stone faced throughout the judges comments and just nodded rather unenthusiastically. We should all take heed from Cheryl's wildcard Treyc who said she had a less than warm welcome from the lovely Katie and Cher. Interesting that they didn't edit that out I thought. If she doesn't end up in the bottom two tonight I will be shocked as I can't think of a single person that would waste 30p on a call to vote for her, let alone buy her music.
Bottom two predictions - Katie and Nicolo
Early winner prediction - Matt
