X Factor 2007 - General Discussion

[LostVoodoo]

I have a major gripe with X Factor. The stylists really need sacking. Last series when they did Big Band they let the guys go on stage with jeans and trainers on. It really annoyed me because Big Band is all about jazz and they should be in suits or at least a pair of smart trousers, t shirt and tie and smart shoes.

Every week the stylists come out with something totally inappropriate. Andy looked really uncomfortable last night in the hoody and jacket.

I know it's not really important but it just annoys me when the stylists don't dress the acts to suit the theme of the week.

here here, i'm totally with you! and why do they dress the mature 14 year old Emily like she's 11?

I've not been watching it because i think they all suck,

Couldn't have said it better... I really loved last year as we had Ben and Robert but they are all hopeless this year.....

[Jessie Wallace]

What!!! How can you say that Nicky sucks, she's got an amazing voice.

lmao nicely put vicky

It's true, there is not a single one i can say wow i want them to win, as ive said in a previous post from the end of September even after the auditions were over they still had crap people in it, i thought the audition stages were meant to illiminate rubbish singers/performers

[CrazyLea]

I agree with Dawn. Niki is fab. How can you say she doesn't have a great voice? And Rhydian's voice is amazing too. I admit, this years "talent" isn't nearly as good as last years, but I do believe there are 3 contenders who could do well.

I think Same Difference are so fun and cheesy! Bev is amazing and Hope are like Girls Aloud I think!

Axed Daniel accuses 'X Factor' of conspiracy

Axed hopeful Daniel De Bourg has claimed that he is the victim of an X Factor conspiracy after his song choice was changed just 18 hours before Saturday's live show.

De Bourg, who was eliminated from the ITV1 singing contest after failing to impress the viewers with his version of The Foundations' 'Build Me Up Buttercup', revealed that he had originally intended to sing Prince's 'When Doves Cry' on Saturday.

"Brian Friedman had my whole 'When Doves Cry' routine choreographed - he'd hired the dancers and I was going to close the show this week, and then suddenly at 12am on Saturday I was given a CD of bloody 'Build Me Up Buttercup'," he told DS.

De Bourg admitted that he's unsure who instructed him to sing 'Build Me Up Buttercup', a song that failed to capitalise on the soulful tone of his voice, but he speculated that Simon Cowell might have played a role in his downfall.

"I don't trust Simon because it's his show. I think he may have had something to do with that song choice," he alleged. "I think he's out there to protect his acts and I know that he's seen me as a threat before. Who knows where that song choice came from? But it's Simon's show - remember that. I'm not saying Simon chose it, because I don't know."

'X Factor's Daniel slams 'ignorant' Osbourne

Axed X Factor hopeful Daniel De Bourg has lashed out at Sharon Osbourne, insisting that the judge "doesn't really know much" about the music business.

De Bourg, who was eliminated from the ITV1 singing contest on Saturday, admitted that he has shunned Osbourne's advice since she advised him to perform a dance routine to a downtempo rock ballad.

He told DS: "I take everything that Sharon says with a pinch of salt, because she doesn't really know much about the music industry, especially soulful music.

"After I'd performed Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars' at boot camp, she said to me: 'You're a dance teacher. Why don't you dance when you sing?' I was like, 'I just sang 'Chasing Cars'. What the hell? Do you want me to pirouette?' That's why I take everything she says with a pinch of salt."

I think Daniel De Bourg had better watch his step and his mouth, Simon Cowell can open a lot of doors for him and shut them also. He was kicked out, deal with it. I think if Simon chose the song for him Louis would have spoken up on Sat. night.

[Jessie Wallace]

Yet another person with sour grapes symdrome. Why can't they just except that fact there not as good as they think, and that's why they didn't win!
