Correct on both. But being able to sing isn't a priority for popular singers these days Russ :D

Very true Keith. Unfortunately the only real winner everytime is Simon Cowell. Just hope Rebecca and Matt both get recording deals.

I like Paije, I like him a lot - but I really think he's the right man in the wrong show. Sadly he has no chance.

Can't stand Katie or Cher.I like Mary, but she (imo) is very cabaret.I think Rebecca has a great voice,but I don't think that I could listen to a whole album of her.

Matt and Rebecca are the best imo.  However, One Direction could make an old lady very happy too.... ;):D   (Sorry, don't understand the hype about Cher - she needs a good slap in my opinion, if my daughter had attitude like that I'd have something to say......)

LOL, I'd love to forget Cher Ken! She does need taking down a peg or two and needs to get rid of the attitude!! Mind you, it's only what we should expect when she has Cheryl Cole as her mentor. I fully understand now why Ashley wanted a quick divorce:D

Post by: GordonA on October 18, 2010, 13:58:03 PM
NO Sandgrounder, you totally mis-read it, Ashley Cole wanted, (and had,) a 'QUICKIE'.
Gordy [:o)].
P.S. Matt, &  Rebecca. Cher has already become a victim of her own ego, I believe, & Aidan was pathetic on Saturday evening, when the host told him that he had 'killed the song', he should have said that he had murdered it!!!!

A girl in our office is related through marriage to Trecey (however it is spelt!).  She said "does anyone watch x-factor?  I've got a relative in it this year", to which some bright spark said "Are you Wagner's daughter then?"

I think you had to be there!!!!

dare I say - who cares. I've had my fill of this horrible TV - strictly, X factor, i'm a celebrity, best thing about X faxtor is thet we might have a descent song in the charts for christmas again (and I'm not talking X factor number one) - Rage against the machine is not exactly my style but it has some character- more so than this sickly sweet- pre-packaged garbage we are getting from the Cowell factory.

That feels good.

Matt and Rebecca to win. Both great singers and different.
Aiden deserved to go on Sat and Katie will be next. Wagner is still there because of the Facebook campaign to vote for him to P*ss Simon off.... ;): :):D
With all that and Anne Widdecombe on Strictly it's....
All good Sat night fun...

And what does he know - and what does the show achieve anyway? Certainly not Cowell & Co. being able to whittle entrants down to the one with the "X Factor", whatever that may be. The chosen one each year rarely goes on to achieve much. The wisdom of Cowell not only saw Diana Vickers not even reach the 2008 final, but no record contract was forthcoming from Mr. Music either (although it was announced there would be, but he pulled out). That's Diana Vickers, now with a No.1 single and album under her belt this year.

If he can't see it when it's placed in front of him, we should be grateful. Even Jedward did better than last year's winner :D

I must agree - can't stand Cowell or the program. If he really was interested in finding talented singers he wouldn't be wasting his time with this rubbish.

although I do think that Rebecca has a great voice, she is in danger of having it knocked out of her.

and Cowell claimed that Kids in America and The last time ever I saw your face were great American anthems, what's that about.

I think the ultimate outcome of this whole X factor "thing" (vote rigging aside !), will probably be a social network led campaign to actually vote one of these clowns (Jedward/ Wagner types) to eventually win it, then hopefully we will see an end to it all.

Though I understand it is fairly good light entertainment, and there is undoubtedly some good talent on show, the only real winner will be Mr. Cowell (Kerching!), it's all getting a bit "long in the tooth now". :D

I never said they were! It's the format that's a rubbish way to find talent.

They might have good voices but you could go round any bar on karaoke night and find just as good.

Agreed, but I can't help thinking she will sell more than any of the other three, irrespective of who wins.

Cher was the best performer tonight and should have been back tomorrow. The boy band should be banned and Matt has always been rubbish. Rebecca is good but was below par tonight. As Scun said Cher will do best out of it and quite right too  8) 8)

Post by: scouser2 on December 12, 2010, 02:01:05 AM
Sorry Ken, you are well off base.Cher comes across as a precocious child.She may have given a good performance with Will.I.Am, but her solo performances have let her down.she alway looks as though she needs a good bath(with Domestos)!!
Matt has been a bit scratchy in his vocal pitch, but he deserves to be in the top 3. Rebecca has proved that she is consistant (in voice, pitch and in coping with music that is not her gendre), and actually One Direction were on the money tonight....They did not need Robbie Williams.....they were very good!!!
Even though I could not listen to a whole album Of Rebecca's I think that she should win.....I am not biased,(even if I am an honoury Scouser).....she has the whole package.....Style, Looks, personality and voice!!!

Post by: mercury on December 12, 2010, 10:34:37 AM
I would go as far as to say that Rebecca has the best voice that I have seen on the X Factor since Will young. How anyone can say that Matt can't sing is beyond me. He has been suffering with his throat for the last couple of weeks but he definitely deserves to be in the final and Cher? for goodness sake she is 17 years old. Not my cup of tea but I can see the attraction for the young kids today and didn't any of you have "attitude" at her age. Rap singers are not meek and mild people as Eminen could tell you. This show provides entertainment to millions of people. Not to everyones taste I know but you must be watching it even if it's just to criticise. lol. Rebecca will go far trust me. She is world class. Simon Cowell has already said she reminds him of Leonna Lewis. i.e. she will be on her way to his carribean island if she wins and will flood America with her. He spotted the pound signs after her 2nd performance. Innocent and mouldable.

Ken isn't wrong, he agreed with me!!!

It isn't about who has the best voice I'm afraid. It's about who can sell the most records. Matt and Rebecca leave Cher for dead on talent, but it's mainly youngsters who buy music these days. I agree Matt and Rebecca are two of the best voices the X Factor has ever found, but the market for them is pretty over subscribed already.

Rebecca was robbed tonight [:(!] with Matt Pancake (always flat) winning. Rebecca was defo the best singer and I believe Cher was the best entertainer. And yes she is only a kid, is that a sin[?] Like we said last night she'll probably gain most out of it and good luck to her  8)
Badger, I've got my own Speedos, thank you very much, as many members can confirm :D and Mercury Will Young, as brill as he is, was not a product of X Factor  :) He was on Pop Star on BBC and I remember Pete Waterman saying "Will you won't be a popstar you'll be a superstar" and doesn't Waterman know his stuff  8)

I thought it a bit of an anti-climax as the last two were rarely in doubt - I found myself not bothered about who would win as they would both have deserved it. It's refreshing to see a couple of people who don't think they have the talent and deserve the fame. Two people instead with great talent and needed to be convinced of that.
