X FACTOR 2007

I don't think Same Difference will make it to the final. I want Nikki to win. Rhydian is too cold. I quite like Leon but Nikki's a better singer.  BTW how did Rhydian come to be doing I Vow To Thee My Country for Brit week when the music was composed by a Swede?! (Gustav Holst). 

What is next week's theme?

Judges choice I think

I voted for Same Difference!  We love them in this house!

Weirdo!

I was saying the same thing to DH last night. There's all a bunch of really weird or uninspiring contestants

I find weirdness very inspiring! 

I'm actually enjoying this season more than previous ones.

Judges choice I think

It's judges' and contestants' choice. With Michael Buble as guest.

They are freaktastic!!!!

BTW how did Rhydian come to be doing I Vow To Thee My Country for Brit week when the music was composed by a Swede?! (Gustav Holst). 

Niki did Total Eclipse of the Heart, written by an American, and Leon did Crazy Little Thing Called Love ... and Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar!

Michael Buble! I guess they couldn't pay Harry Connick Jnr enough to appear on the show!! 

I hate how Danni said Nikki had been out of tune the week before, I thought that was really mean. She fully deserved it when it was pointed out (I think by Louie) that she's never had a hit record herself!! He he!! 

Michael Buble! I guess they couldn't pay Harry Connick Jnr enough to appear on the show!! 

They all keep comparing Leon to Michael Buble, so I wonder how that'll go down next week!

I haven't heard that much of MB but I think Leon might actually be the better singer! Not wishing to start bashing MB (well, not much!) but have you heard his version of Kissing A Fool? Dreadful!

I finally figured out where Same Difference would fit in...  Lawrence WelK!!!!! 

I can just see Simon rubbing his hands together at the thought of breaking the kiddie pop market with Same Difference. 

I want Nikki and Leon in the final. 

And Rhydian....  Totally OTT and then some.

I haven't heard it. Is it awful? I don't really know much about MB, to be honest.

I wasn't surprised Nikki went out last night, her songs nearly sent me to sleep! A pity because I liked her up til now.  I suppose Rhydian will win now although Leon might still pull it off and for some reason people do keep voting for Same Difference.

I suppose Rhydian will win now

Louis kept saying to Rhydian: "You'll definitely be in the final, and you'll probably win." I was wondering if he (assuming Nikki would also be in the final) was trying to stop people from bothering to vote for him, thereby assuring a win for his contestant. Or maybe I just spend too much time analyzing this stuff!

Having heard them sing on the same show last night, who do you think was the better singer? I thought they were both pretty good.

I think I'd have to say Leon, especially when you consider he's so young.  I just find Micahel Buble a bit .... boring. It's not that he can't sing, he has a good voice, but it's kind of bland and I don't find him as charming as he's made out to be. But I know lots of people adore him. I much prefer Harry Connick jnr.

Sadly, I'm now a fan of Same Difference!  They were great, I thought.  Rhydian is tripe.  Leon, is good just from how much he has grown through the competition. 

Rhydian is tripe. 

SPLUTTER SPLUTTER .... WHAT??! Oh, Karen, I don't think we can be friends anymore. I adore Rhydian. 

I agree about Same Difference, though. I'm a fan. But, even though I like them a lot, I can't picture ever buying one of their CDs. Rhydian's, however - YES!
