Kelly .... 'Janet when you are up there on the stage singing, we could hear a pin drop'.

Well get Janet to fooking sing louder then Kelly!

I think Louis/Tulisa/Kelly/Gary* chose the wrong song for you

*delete as appropriate

Tulisa - "I'm so proud of you for doing this for women's rights, you're standing up for women against patriachy and oppression well done girls"

Louis - "I want everybody in Ireland/Liverpool/wherever the contestant is from to pick up the phone and vote for you tonight!"

Kelly - "I'd just like to hear your vocals/harmonies get a little bit tighter" (ie you are crap)

as for Gary whatever he says is in that Slow.Deliberate.Way.Of.Spea.King. like Paul Cullen on Sky.

Whatever he says, you can see his brain thinking, "Why am I doing this? I'm loaded, I shouldn't have to be putting up with this toss and getting grief from the leprechaun, some stroppy madam riding on Dappy's coat tails and Beyonce's cast off."

They are good. Who does them?
I feel like I have a skill deficiency.
All my posts could be in that format.

Is it you?
Are you the man?
Teach me, teach me!

after a bit of googling I found they are FixFactorComic, if you look for them on twitter or facebook you will find all of the cartoons, some are pretty funny

Don't do twitter or facebook.
This is bad enough.
I can't be @rsed with unwanted friends.

Yes, they are on Twitter and Facebook. Luckily you can view them without joining. I don't see the point in Twitter either. Looked at Gary Barlow's, all he seems to do is post photos of his brew. Riveting stuff, shows me exactly why I haven't even bothered to create an account. Besides, "Fishsta" is already gone, someone called "Mpho Matsimela", who honestly looks nothing like me.

Anyway, if you go here:

There's a link on the bottom right, "View Images".

Much obliged Fishsta.

I read today that N Gallagher turned down Cowell's coin to be a Fix Factor judge... can't imagine him ever lowering himself that far like Barlow has. I'll never understand Barlow's decision to do that show, did he REALLY need it....?

Didn't Gallagher only turn it down because of some one sided feud with one of the judges after they claimed to know him well, when Gallagher said he'd never even met them?

Anyway Frankie is still in, so all is well with the world.
Despite Barlow saying that he lied the previous week and thought Frankie's performance stank and commented that this week was better, but not remarkably so.
Upshot ... Gary lies and Frankie is shoite. Wow such revelations!

Yeh, Gallagher said it on Jonathan Ross on Saturday. He said he was offered the position to replace Cowell because he wanted somebody similar to replace him. Noel replied by saying, "If I did do it, I'd probably just put a load of fat people through".

Its about time Louis Walsh had the balls to stand up and demand to be told why he gets the shoite acts every year, surely he's noticed ?

To be fair, it's because he picks them.

There were acts in his category this year better than those he took through as his final four, yet he cast them aside in favour of dragging a freakshow with him (don't forget, the cruise ship singer that got kicked off last night was only a late replacement for the mad Chinese woman).

Funnily enough though, it appears to be his acts that copped the backlash for the whole "let's take a pop at Misha" episode on Saturday's show rather than Tulisa's. You can always tell when one act is starting to look like they're head and shoulders above anyone else, the other three judges take every opportunity they can to slag them off for anything other than their performance.

Anyone else think it was a little ironic to stand a young woman out on stage on her own, in front of a national television audience and a massive in-house crowd, then proceed to assassinate her character because she's supposedly a "bully", without giving her the right to reply and defend herself?

So who got the boot last night then, for those of us that don't watch but like to keep up to date?

Yes...also she loves to portray the I am hard inside, and I will say it as it is persona, the woman's an embarrassing hypocrite!, she makes me cringe. She annoys me when she gives it 'this is a representation of all the women in the UK' line....No it really is not!

No not really, nothing would surprise me about X Factor and that genre of programme any more, its not a real program for spotting new talent at all to me, if they were any good they'd have emerged via the other methods that similar young new artists use, ie just go out there and start performing and banging on doors, its not easy, its certainly not as easy as standing outside Manchester Arena for four hours one sunday morning but none of them seem to understand that.

And yet, I watch the fekking thing every week

I disagree I think it does attract some raw talent, I have heard some wonderful voices who would sound awesome singing blues, soul, and rock, the problem is all the program makers are interested in is selling records to the masses, hence the singers churn out cr@p!

An odd POV. There are a thousand methods that similar young new artists can use - and X-Factor is just one of 'em!! Who knows who would or wouldn't "emerge"? What is "emerging" anyway? I have plenty of stuff in my collection which probably never actually "emerged" in the sense I think you mean. There must be tens of thousands of artists over the years who have just never been in the right place at the right time. I bet a fair proportion of them are "better" than many of those who "made it". Getting some brief screen time on the X-Factor (or any TV prog) must be a decent leg up for anyone who is any good.

And as for spotting new talent, what about this year's clear winner, Johnny? He looks like he's been around for decades without being discovered but now I expect he'll make a shedload as the next Dale Winton.

And I watch the fekking thing every week too, though I confess I could never do it without Sky+ Fast Forward facilities

No, you are right, hence my comment about them using the "traditional" methods of getting out there and just playing or singing to get recognised.

Ultimately they all want wealth and "fame" rather than an amateur or semi-professional income and the love of playing and singing music, Matt Cardle from last year for instance was doing the rounds fronting bands and was probably pocketing some tax-free cash most weekends (and then spending it in music shops), ultimately he wanted more, ultimately he'll go back to the pub circuit soon and then he'll probably admit that churning out chart music wasn't really what he wanted to do anyway.

Personally I would prefer "serious" music programmes like Jules Hollands output to be given more prominence on TV with a mandate to introduce at least two unknown bands per week mixed in with the regular professionals - the fact that at least three of the judges (and probably all of the producers) on the X Factor panel last night didn't understand the description of the theme "rock music" told the whole story to me.

Kitty is better than a bottom two place and the cruise ship singer deserved to go. Having said that the skanky one should go. It irritates me how he scratches his head as if it is full of lice. And if his private life is owt to go by he should be called frankie cock oozer
