Yes, and I'm pissed off now! That 12-year old girl will probably win the final, so it's too predictable now. I know she's good but the judges only like her because she's 12. I prefer it when it's a level playing field. All the other people who have gone through have been quite well matched in terms of talent, but the judges will rave about her until the public vote for her and she wins!
No, they like her because she has a good voice and she appeals to a wide variety of people. I think she would go down better than a crap football juggler on the Royal Variety Show.

Eh? He didn't go through. We had an opera singer last year as winner - I'd like to see one of the dancing acts win this year.
And if she was 24 instead of 12 I bet Cowell wouldn't be raving about her so much either.

I did, and I wasn’t impressed.
I don’t really like Faryl. She may be good but I don’t actually think that the sound she makes is very pleasant.
A lot of the acts that I thought were good at the first stage don’t seem so good in the semi-finals, like the two dancers that won Monday’s programme. Their talent seem diluted by having a load of backing dancers dpong the same thing that they were doing.
I didn't see it last night but I watched it the night before. How funny was Hoop-lala :D I don't know if it was the outfit or him hula-hooping in mid air that tickled me but I was in hysterics.
I liked Strike, I hope they win although that boy George was amazing... it must've taken a lot of practise to get that good!

I though Hoop lala were funny. I liked George’s stuff but I think I’d like Kate and Gin to win. :D
I don’t think they will, though.

I loved Hoop La La and Kate and Gin.....Gin is sooo clever :D
Was that the girl and the dog?
I want george to win.. He's the one who danced in the rain? :)
He was good... his poor wee face once he'd done it though, he was shellshocked!
I know!! He is a lovely lad tho. i would really like to see him win
He is lovely and he would deserve to win. I think his adrenalin was pumping s'all. I just felt sorry for him because he could hardly talk.
I liked Strike just because they were soo different to the usual... I couldn't choose a winner from the finalists though there's so many good ones.

Yes thats the one :)
They were really good as well. It's amazing how much time she must spend training the dog to get that good!

Strike might win if they get their kit off again. :D
The dog is ace! It's so nerve wracking to watch because you never know if he's going to get distracted and run off after an imaginary bone or something. :p
I think they might take more than their tops off for the final. *crosses fingers and toes* :D
George Sampson is great. I hope he wins. But the 'Singing Plumber' is good too.

Yes, and wasn't there a suggestion that they should wear tighter trousers too? :D

I thought the plumber was great. The judges didn't like the song but I did. I think he's got a lot of soul.

I'll need a fan to watch it - I'll be getting all flustered! :o

I know. Think of poor Amanda Holden - they'll be bringing out a bucket of cold water for her. :D
I laughed at her the last time, she was all gooey and her eyes were all glazed. :D
I wasn't much better though! :o
Fenella

Well I didn't think much of it tonight!
What was that fat woman supposed to be? I can dance better than that! And that woman with all the other women in red who couldn't sing - awful! The Burlesque women looked OK but they didn't dance very well.
I thought the two guys from Tesco were OK - they didn't sound out of tune to me. The song was a bit dull but they sang it quite well. I thought one of them was going to beat Simon up or something!
Then there was Madonna. She didn't do as well as she did last time, and if I hear the sob story about her kids once more I'm going to scream. I can't stand it when they say they're doing it for their kids - they should be doing it to entertain ME and for no other reason. :D
Thank goodness Simon voted with his head and not his heart - that impersonator guy was awful! He had a sob story about his kids as well, and about it being his last chance blah blah blah.
The girls with the fiddles were good though - thank goodness they were in it!

I think Escala were very good.
Madonna wasn’t as good as she was at the first audition, I thought the arrogant woman in Diva Las Vegas was dreadful.
At the Royal Variety performance they have their pick of the world’s best singers, comedians and professional dances.
I think Escala and Kate and Gin are the only two acts to offer something new.

Escala were absolutely brilliant and gorgeous looking girls too. I saw them the in first round thingy and thought they were great then too so glad to see them doing well in this competition. They are my bet to win it :)
I have to admit that I haven't seen a lot of the competition this week (only bits and pieces) but wft, how did that first crowd of girls, Burlesque or something, get this far as they were absolutely dire and cringyworthy. That other crowd Diva something weren't much better :rolleyes:
Fenella

I don't know who to vote for - I keep changing my mind. I kind of like Signature - I thought they were brilliant tonight.
Gemo52
05-31-2008, 09:05 PM
I only got home in time to see the last acts. I thought Signature were better than they were last week.

I disagree wholeheartedly. It was exactly the same. Andrew Johnston improved, and Escala.

So did I - the fat chap did more dancing than he did last time, and he's soooo sweet!
The singing plumber wasn't so good tonight. He sang Imagine, and he just completely lost his charisma and soul, as Simon said. Apparently he didn't choose the song though.
Nemisis weren't as good as last time either - they weren't so together or energetic as they had been. The dog was good as usual, and all the others were about the same as they were before.

I'm tempted to vote for Escala. They're unique and good all round performers. I think they would be great to represent Britain generally.

It was the same as their audition (Billie Jean), but not the same as the routine they did on Monday (Thriller).

I didn't see their audition so I can only go on the two performances I saw. I thought tonight's was better than the last one. The last one was good but the fat chap didn't do as much. In this one they did more dancing in unison which worked well I thought.

05-31-2008, 09:51 PM
So it’s Signature, Andrew Johnstone and George Sampson.

George is the winner. :)
Aw, he's bawling, think I would be too
On to X factor then, I have a personal interest in it this year. I have an acquaintance who is through the first round.
Fenella
05-31-2008, 09:59 PM
Aww, good for George. I didn't vote for him but he is very good. I'm glad a dancer won this year. I'm surprised the young girl wasn't in the top three.

Which category are they in papa?
Fenella

Oh, and is it a real life acquaintance or a forum acquaintance papa?
Real life :cool:
Oh - do let us know. We can set up an X Factor section or something :D

Maybe, but probably only by PM. Real people involved and I don't want them involved in the current stuff. Forums are not part of their lives ;)

I can't remember when it starts now. I like not having many smilies. At least we don't have TOE hiding behind the sofa every five minutes. :p

Yep, up for that, specially now I have an insider :cool:
