what is wrong with cheryl cole

What other than the fact she's actually not that good a singer and wouldn't be as famous as she is if she wasn't "beautiful"?!

Miming to a digitally enhanced backing track does not constitute talent.

My thoughts on last night:


- Can't believe how badly Sam murdered that foo fighters song, I was so excited someone was singing a rock song and not something that everyone picks, but actually modern, but he was absolutely terrible at it. I think he would have been more suited to an acoustic version.

- Joelle, Michelle and Sophie. Although good singers, are boring and forgettable. There is nothing original there

- Tyler was better than I expected him to be. Still, for some reason I don't feel he has the personality to do well, he seems a bit seedy to me.

- The other Sam. I really don't understand what the judges see in this guy. I guess he can sing, I just fail to hear anything amazing in his voice, but maybe that's just me. Does anyone else also find him unbelievably annoying when he is talking? I was like "Shhhhhhh"

- Matt and Sue. I really can't see these guys going far. The Fleetwood Mac song was a good choice, but I can't help but feel they seem like a bit of a joke. Would they realistically sell records?

- Ruth. Yes, she can sing, REALLY loud, but it should be about more than just this. For me personally I'm more interested in a unique voice rather than who can sing the longest note.

- Frances and Jaz. These were my two favourites from last night. Jaz has an absolutely classic voice, I'd love to see him sing some Van Morrison. Frances I think is just so current, and has the potential to do so much, but I feel a more modern song choice could have been picked for her.


I reckon Matt and Sue should go tonight. But who knows! Also, I am so in-love with will.i.am, his facial expressions crack me up.

no need for that...

I found a lot of the singing last night quite painful to listen to and I don't even have a decent ear for catching notes.

I don't really watch these shows specifically to listen to great singers or just the judges but I really do enjoy them as entertainment so I would hope for a complete package especially with the amount of taxpayer money thrown at this show and with the X Factor showing them how to do it for the past decade!

Just watched it on I player. Good thing, cos I got to skip all of Holly Willoughby's parts. God she's an annoying presenter. That and the show keeps going on about how awful it is for the judges to kick off one of their contestants. We know. You don't have to keep asking the and getting the same 'they're amazing, I don't know how I'm going to choose' answer....

Also, I don't get it. Was it recorded last night? But then what about the phoning in? I assumed that people had a whole day to phone in (like on Dancing on Ice), but they can't have done if that was recorded last night... How would people know when the lines close?? And hen why air it tonight???

I do recall on last night's show they said lines closed at 9pm which I thought was odd because it didn't leave too much time for voting. But this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/the-voice/9234732/The-Voice-BBC-One-live-show-has-the-audience-stomping-in-their-seats.html seems to explain it.

Interesting read. I really don't know why people 'woop' just because a producer tells them to though. I would probably start booing just because some arse with a mic on his head kept telling me to 'woop' like some 13 year old idiot high on sexual feelings for the first time in their lives.

Ahh thanks for that.

Mann, I love the writer of that article! Says it like it is, perfect!

yeah I guess understand the 9pm thing, but it doesn't give a great cut off point. Not I ever do vote () but they make such a big thing of it on other shows (all the 'don't call now!!! Your vote wont count, but may still be charged') and I'm sure people would have voted past the cut off point...

Also, in the article, it mentions Will making digs at X Factor? Any ideas what that would be? I remember him saying he doesn't like talent shows, but he was proud to be on this one, because there was talent. Was that it?

Dear knows how they could sit through a 6 hour recording in that studio in the first place.

I've no idea about the digs, last night the show just seemed to drag so I skipped a lot of the comments part. It really reflects the 'too much positivity' bit, everyone's just 'amazing' etc, felt like too much praise when hardly any of the contestants really made me go 'wow'.

A few of them were a little wishy washy and I like the way this show doesn't portray the sob stories of the contestants to carry them through.

6 hours is just pathetic. If it is a 'live' show, it should be filmed in basically a continuous manner although I understand setting the sets up takes a little bit of time but X Factor still manages this with an actual live show as opposed to a pre-recorded nonsense.


The show really does drag. It is an incredible effort watching it
