One of the most hilarious performances, the woman who sang Like A Prayer and I Have A Dream:

I can't believe it's taken us this long to get an X-Factor thread!

Apparently Louis Walsh and Paula Adbul have a big bust-up over one of the contestants. He tells the contestant, Haifa, that she has no talent - despite the fact he put her through to boot camp the previous year and she got into the last 12 in her category. She was a Pop Idol semi-finalist too!

That's obvious but it was hilarious to watch.

Yes, it's very funny - and watching it a second time made me realise that she is really quite attractive but cannot sing.

Did anyone see that 56 year-old woman doing Kylie's Can't get You Out Of My Head" last night? It was pitiful but they put her through!!!

There was also a horrific rendition of "Let Me Entertain You" and a hysterically funny but bad "Wherever I Lay My Hat".

In each case the people concerned were convinced they had what it takes to win. I think they have to seriously ask themselves would I pay £30 plus to hear and watch me sing? Some of them had no stage presense what so ever.

I didn't see it but I'll watch the repeat tonight.

I think some of them know they are bad but go on to have a laugh, but some genuinely think they have what it takes. Therre was one woman who said she wanted to be an internationally famous star which just made me laugh. As far as I'm aware no one who has ever won Pop Idol/Xfactor etc has ever become internationally famous.

The girl who sung YMCA really bad did quite well from the Pizza Hut adverts.

Next week sees Sharon leave and fly back home after a phone call from Kelly saying the house is on fire.

What about those two last week who sang The Lion Sleeps Tonight?? They were atrocious.

Who set Sharon's house on fire? Was Ozzie making some chips? Poor old fool.

It was something to do with an electrical fault. They had to get all their dogs and move out to their other home in the country.

Lucky them. I wonder if when they buy stuff they buy two, so if one home burns down it survives in the other house.

oldspice · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2006, 09:17:15 pm »

That must have been a difficult time for her. I think she's really nice, a real sweetie.

Surely they furnish both homes but not the same.

Well the final 12 have been chosen. I guessed all the groups correctly but only got 3 soloists right each. Ditching Gemma was a big mistake on Simon's part - she was one of the best singers, but he had two young boys that he thought old grannies would like and couldn't resist taking one of them.
