Some good contestants this year.......and some cr*p.

The guy that sang the Marvin Gay song was brilliant, nailed it as far as I'm concerned :thumbup:

He was good wasn't he, I thought much better than his first audition and he was brilliant at that :thumbup:

I'm not quite sure where some of the judges are coming from though .. I mean that couple where he 'pretended' to play the guitar and she screeched her way through 'Delilah' got through and yet the girl who had been on previously and has a lovely voice got rejected .. ok her performance wasn't great last night but she CAN sing.

It is called entertainment and has nothing at all to do with talent - I would have thought that you would know that by now :o :o

I'm sure there is method in their madness DQ. Stick a few dodgy ones through to make some of the others look good later on. I think supermarkets call them lost leaders :D

Well l ain't going to stick a tenner on her just yet but l think the young 16 year old singer Lauren Platt has a lot of potential.

I don't know what Cheryl was on last night but swapping Orla Keogh for posh bird Chloe Whichello was a big mistake. I thought Chloe's performance was dire at best and no way did she deserve to take the place of Orla who unlike chloe could actually hold a note.

Pleased to see Lauren Platt made it through

I know that it was probably all staged but I thought that the audience last night were a disgrace - if I had been Cheryl I would have walked off.

Still to watch last nights episode (recorded). We went for Strictly instead.

I tell you, it's a right juggling act at the moment with these two shows overlapping.

As you have probably guessed, we live exciting lives :D

we have never seen this show and feel very lucky as our neighbour lives for it and always tries to tell us about it one day she will realise we really are not interested in it

I don't think she was that impressed being called Kermit it did get a bit repetitive but then that's Simon for you he knows which buttons to press :roll:

Yes Cheryl is tiny isn't she I hadn't realised that either.

The whole panel are known as the muppets, but also trending on Saturday night was Mel B as miss piggy, being all in pink.

Personally I cannot stand Mel B, has always been gobby, especially now as a judge on X factor. After Saturday's show, I read SC was not very happy with her, accusing one of his group, Fleur East of cheating, FE is Mrs DB favourite.
