- 6:50 PM A first for tuppenceworth as we have a cross-blog extravaganza with Alexia Golez of golez.net . Topic: The desultory live blogging of three quarters of tonights X Factor.
- 6:51 PM Zoop zoop zoop zoop
- 6:51 PM And we’re straight in with Ryan who is a rubbish rapper.
- 6:52 PM Melanie is way young. Jail bait
- 6:52 PM Time to torment some children. Melanie has ripped through her all top-shop wardrobe to go to the second round.
- 6:53 PM I love that Shelly is described as a full-time Mum.. 🙂 Full-time lounge lizard
- 6:54 PM Cheryl is stunningly stupid. As someone who has paid money to attend a Girls Aloud gig, I feel I have earned the right to stand firm on that.
- 6:54 PM LOL.. Shake your head in shame.
- 6:56 PM I like the gestalt Girls Aloud.
- 6:56 PM The power of music is being invoked to change the world by a man with two hairdos on top of each other.
- 6:57 PM Alas, he has never heard or produced any of this life changing music, going by the noises which follow.
- 6:58 PM Dearie, I just feel sorry for Ashiq.
- 6:58 PM Still stunned by Cheryl. Does somebody dress her in the morning? How does a person get through their day with that little wit?
- 7:00 PM Lots of ads for TV3 on TV3.
- 7:00 PM These Bulmers dancing dicks are merely a provincial take on the Latin Quarter Dicks of Bacardi infame.
- 7:01 PM I love that there really was a man called Max Factor who started his company.
- 7:02 PM Does anyone ever sit down and watch these free DVDs that come with the papers? None of the would ever make it to the 3pm slot on a BBC 2 Sunday.
- 7:03 PM Dude, Malice is not a bad movie. As Nic Kidman perm movies go.
- 7:03 PM I really want to go see Tropic Thunder
- 7:04 PM Now that is two hairstyles on top of each other!
- 7:04 PM And we’re back! The crowd shots of the cranks and deluded loons who throng to these auditions may undermine my faith in the future of the human race.
- 7:04 PM Too much yellow!
- 7:05 PM And Cheryl takes the piss out of a being a waitress ! Charm the dirty plebs, do!
- 7:06 PM Next up Stacey who powers through and breaks my eardrums !
- 7:06 PM Ooh a baby kissing shot. This is one of the killer moments for a programme aimed at the general public, as any successful politician will tell you.
- 7:07 PM This section of the programme is delivering us BIG VOICES.
- 7:08 PM Oh dear, we’ve just had a break in the winning streak. To the delight of the editors who have given them extra time.
- 7:08 PM I hate when the judging pricks laugh at people that can’t sing.. Let’s see Louis sing
- 7:11 PM Okay, I take it back.
- 7:14 PM I was away getting chips. I’m back now. And I find a girl called Hannah is being put through the first round.
- 7:14 PM The obligatory Life-Changing audition. That biker jacket is going to be minced up in the Extreme Makeover later on.
- 7:14 PM Ads again. My favourite bit, if truth be told.
- 7:15 PM I wish someone would rub me down like those Moos now and again
- 7:15 PM Travel on the Rome underground. The pickpockets will look after you.
- 7:17 PM Woo.. Burger King vouchers in the Sunday World. It jumped ahead of the Sindo imho
- 7:18 PM If you’re going to dub your Clerasil ad, do it in a way that nearly matches.
- 7:19 PM And we’re back to auditions in Birmingham.
- 7:19 PM Bad Lashes- They confess to dreaming of World Domination.
- 7:20 PM Concerning.
- 7:20 PM These girls are shoe-in..
- 7:21 PM “4 hairdressers in a girl band”.. Meow @ Louis
- 7:21 PM Now, we’re hearing that The Lashes are ‘over thinking’. This is even more concerning.
- 7:22 PM I love this guy’s tie..
- 7:22 PM Piano Key Neck Tie! Zoolander flashback!
- 7:23 PM Three years later and he’s still wearing the same tie.. !
- 7:23 PM He lost 4 stone he says. Must have found them all again just outside the audition room.
- 7:24 PM HE’S GONE GAY!
- 7:25 PM No, wait that’s just the jewellery.
- 7:25 PM A tale of personal redemption. This guy has been playing the long game.
- 7:25 PM Louis needs to get some change to put in his eyebags.
- 7:26 PM Disaster! The Lack of Talent Bar falls when you least expect it.
- 7:27 PM I love the way Cheryl massages syllables out of her gobby gob.. It’s a slow burning game of hide and seek.
- 7:29 PM Over already? Is it recorded in one unending stream and then squirted at the screen in blobs?
- 7:30 PM Kinda sad.. * sniff *
- 7:31 PM Discerning readers will now be turning over to the Winning Streak alike on RTE. Where the props appear to have been unearthed from Bunny Carr’s attic.
- 7:31 PM Discerning readers would have been there all along 🙂
- 7:32 PM But for us, we’re closing this convinced that we too have that ill defined X factor.
