X Factor V Strictly

well. the final of boot camp tonight, wonder what 12 will go and who will stay.. kinda easy to spot with a few of them that forgot their words and the group that didnt even rehearse. The groups kinda get on my wick a wee bit.I mean how many4 or 5 part harmony groups do we need. ? I MUST be getting auld :) some of the older folks are goodish but i admit they can err on the side of cheesy cabaret. I hope it goes on talent though and not on sob story. While i am as sympathetic as the next person, I think its wrong to announce all this in the opening show.Roll on 6.10 pm.

/easily bemused. dundee.

Agreed.

I thought Laura was decent enough.
One of the things I remembered thinking last night was how funny to see two average singers such as Cheryl and her mate pass judgement on some really talented solo singers.

Actually that crossed my mind as well ! What would they know about real music,, as in the craftmanship of songwriting/musicians/production etc ?

I must admit, shazza spoilt it for me LOL.. her friend went in for the auditions and I learnt there are 3 sets of auditions to get through. Its not as if they wander off the streets into the room of Messrs. Cowell,Walsh et al.. So how do many of the JOKE acts get through, the old man playing the spoons ffs. and Worse still the ones who make it into the next round, setting them up with false hopes,all in the name of “fun” . Half the folks who go on are not quite the full shilling,to say the least. So how many genuinely good singers are waylaid..?

I quite like the quirkiness of Diana.She is unusual. But that usually hinders,rather than helps. I think Austin will win, but he HAS to stop bloody greeting !! ( crying) too emotional he might come over as. And its a cut throat world out there.

Pats was banging the drum for Austin last night.
Rubes, strange as it may seem, there must be dozens of talented singers out there who didn’t even bother applying for the show.
When you look at the houses (or mansions) that the judges own it just goes to show what an amazing business showbusiness is.
Especially the judging side of the show.

The thing is, that black girl with an attitude problem forgot her words, but im almost certain shes going to be put through :twisted:

I wasnt impressed with some of the “talent” on last nights show (well, what i can remember :oops: ) better singers we kicked out in the last round. After the young lad in simons category sang, all sinita could say was “hes cute” big deal! Its all about the image, talent seems to come 2nd.

Think I missed bits but I heard the one girl group, they were out of tune, it sounded awful!

..and youre right rubes, half of the folks who apply arent the full shilling :lol: :lol:
