Skanky cocozza was shoite again as usual but he is just the worst of a bad bunch this year

Frankie Cockend is a joke.
He was so bad, even the panel couldn't make excuses for him.
GET RID!
He can't fooking sing!!!!
And his appearance?
It looks like he is stuck with the 'I've just sh/t my pants' look.

They are an ordinary bunch ... no superstars here.

Risk and Janet (although she is starting to irritate me) are OK.

Have to agree, they are really poor this year.

I reckon people sometimes underrate the democracy of the market, every year critics of the X factor say they resent having a winner being pushed on them and being forced to buy their music but in reality they aren't - they can ride off the 15 min of fame to get a Christmas number one when they have some fans fresh from the show but after that, Simon Cowell and his chums don't tell people to buy their records, they give them a record deal and a chance and then see what the public think, if the public aren't interested then the record label drops them as has happened to many winners and will happen to last years winner as well. They will only survive if they are good, and looking at this year's bunch of contestants none of them will go on to make it.

Every time I see the Welsh girl, I think of Geraldine

Frankie coksucker lives on to assault our ears

Frankie Cockend survived ... what a pr/ck.
Gary said......'this is the last time you'll be singing (SINGING???!!!!) for survival for a long time'. Excuse me, how does he know that?
The sad Irish man said 'I am keeping in the act that I think has the most potential'. Not daring to put it to the public vote in case Cockend was bottom and we would be rid.
The most potential means most controversial, simple as.
Line them all up and shoot them ... the judges I mean.
Manipulating, conniving b@stards the lot of them.

I don't really watch this shoite!

Why do losers have to be so magnanimous?
Nu Vibe should have just said something to the effect that... 'we are sorry to lose, but especially sorry to lose to that talentless, @rsehole Frankie'.
I think that would have found some resonance with the audience.
It would have been cut though!

X Factor, by the very nature of appearing every year, is not set up to provide and promote artists for the long term. No sooner will last year's winner have his debut album out in the shops than this year's will be getting all the publicity to push their Xmas single.

At least this year's panel of judges has stopped pretending it's anything more than a popularity contest with a bit of singing thrown in.

Expect some story or other about Frankie being good to his mum and looking after abandoned kittens in his spare time to appear in the tabloid rags this week. The role of this year's Katie Waisell seemed to be nailed on for Kitty, but something tells me the public have very quickly sussed out this mock "bad boy" for the talentless scrote he is.

I'd have sacked both of last nights bottom two, their "singing to save your life" performances were both terrible especially The Haircut.

On the other hand, what a good idea that would be - literally singing to save their life.

Saturday was the first time I have had the misfortune to watch any of it this year. My daughter is usually in bed by 8 so we record it for her and she watches it Sunday morning while I'm at training. However, it's half term and she negotiated a 9pm stay up so we had to sit through and hour of it. WTF are these people? I guess that's what you expect from a panel of judges so musically challenged. Barlow is supposed to be the one with musical credibility but my favourite Barlow creative period was when he created 8 extra stones of fat by eating every donut in Britain on a daily basis. I wish he'd go back to crying over the harsh taunts of Robbie. Come on Robbie, start taking the p!$$ out of him again, it was hilarious. You know you want to.

A show that's died on it's @r$e like Strictly Come Wait for Bruce to Die and Bad Ice Skating By Total Amateurs We've Never Heard Of, did 5 years ago.

Ah, an X Factor thread...

Week 1 and it was no contest, Craig was head and shoulders above everyone else, and bonus points should go to him for deliberately changing the words one time to "Jar Of Farts". That was very well done. It's a shame he was so disappointing this week.

Everyone else, based on last week, was nothing more than an also-ran, although Sami surprised me by being quite good.

This week was THOROUGHLY disappointing, it comes to something when Jonny turns out to be one of the best acts. Frankie was HORRENDOUS. Janet... I just don't get it. It'd be "cute" to hear a 6 year old girl sing like that, but for a "senior" class singing competition, I really don't understand the fuss about her. She can't even sing in tune.

Nu Vibe were crap, but I'm confused as to why they're out so early, despite the fact they were so much better than last year's One Direction. Still crap, though, obviously.

Basically, as long as the final few end up as Craig, Marcus, Misha B and Sami, it doesn't really matter what order the rest go out. Apart from Craig's week 1 performance, no-one's really stood out and shone.

But Frankie's presence in the finals is basically a huge insult to the rest. Frankie, Janet and Rhythmix should never have reached this stage. Ever.

unfortunately i caught a few minutes of the sing off last night also. now i think there is something illegal going on regards the sing off.
i was under the impression people phoned to keep their favourite in the show??(possibly a premium rate phone line, im not too sure about that though)
surely then there should not be a sing off as the one with the lowest votes goes out?
x amount of thousands of people would have wanted the group to stay in and less might have wanted the lad to stay in, yet in the end the judges decided who stayed and the lad stayed in.surely that is wrong (legally and morally)why would people spend their money to vote for their favourite but at the end of the day its the judges who decide, not them and the show is still raking the money in. its a CON and surely lllegal??

You might have a point if not for the teensy fact that the people voting all know exactly how it works!

Yep, I'm not sure why the people who vote actually do it, because the public don't actually have a say in who actually goes until much later in the series when the producers have managed to whittle it down to who [ithey[/i want.

Frankie was p[ii[/iss poor last night in the survival sing off - don't think I've heard many worse performances on the programme than that. Gary Barlow saying that it's unbelievable he was in the bottom two is obviously an effort to save face because of him constantly bigging him up - he knows he's garbage but doesn't want to admit it.

On another note, how appalling were The Wanted?? I've never actually heard anything by them but constantly hear of people going on about them - they wouldn't have looked out of place as contestants on the programme given how bad they were. Katy Perry was actually pretty good, considering a lot of people say she's terrible live.

Sophie Habibibibibibibis still in, so I'm happy anyway

I remember seeing an interview with Simon Cowell where someone put it too him that the winner doesn't get £1 million as publicised. Cowell said straight up, no, the winner gets £150000, the other £850000 is what they spend on the winner in producing and promoting their album. That won't go that far for launching an act from scratch...if you have seen the video for Matt Cardle's single you can see its been done on the cheap. If the act was REALLY talented then they could get their own momentum and their career would kick off from there but for someone who is not that good just won a TV show then £850000 will allow them to put one album out and then if it bombs they will be dropped.

Frankie is well out of his depth and its hilarious that they say stuff like 'lock up your daughters' and out walks a very average looking lad with silly hair and clothes. If it was about looks then the tall lad from Widnes that they kicked off in the twist was much better looking than Frankie and more stylish, and he sang better, I expect he was removed so as not to intrude on their ability to promote Frankie as the sex symbol of the competition.
