BB FANS

Has anyone seen this advertised on ITV1? It's a new thing Simon Cowell is doing, it's kind of like Pop Idol but for any ages from 16+! I've gone for it it sounds good cos bands can go for it too which is cool!!

i have but only once.

test to see if Avatar works..it does!

(Thought I'd try it out on a lesser-used thread)

Thanks to cheekiechickie for that!)

more 3rd rate karaoke on the t.v- just what we need

...is BB5's Michelle going to be doing her "Pie Jesu"?

Ha Ha! I don't think it will be as good as Pop Idol it will be more based around Simon Cowell throwing insults!

Is anyone watching this?

Myself and my (gerbil mommy) daughter watch it....it was a bit drawn out at first..but they are down to the final 9 now - live show next week. In Sharon Osborne's words the finalists are a bit of a 'motley crew'.

The judges eliminated some people whom they acknowledged to be more talented/professional etc, in favour of people whom they knew the public would warm to...so you have a 50 year old (who looks darn good, by the way), who sacrificed her career for her marriage to a husband who didn't appreciate her, another guy who never thought he'd get past the first audition, a fantastic singer who they keep saying is 'insane', an Irish guy who seems to have got it because he was cheeky and Sharon couldn't resist him - but he forgets the words of the songs. Also a trio of soul singers, mother & daughter & aunt, who are brilliant singers, but who kind of messed up their final audition. There's a male quartet who most have been influenced by the Kings Singers. There's a very slick young girl of about 16 who has a great voice, plus a gorgeous Irish girl...in fact in the 16-24 age group, 2 out of the 3 finalists came from the Dublin audition...

Next week they sing live, and Simon Cowell, the lovely Sharon (she is), and the smarmy (also Irish, but so am I) Louis Walsh will get to comment on them...and the public get to decide who goes and who stays...

..oh and Terry from the Salon is on Sharon's team, as the 'stylist'...

and Linda Martin (also Irish) was working with Louis in making his choices.

Rowetta's got the X Factor



From Here

I am really enjoying it, I didn't like the 2nd series of pop idol much but I think this is wonderful!

Rowetta to win, she is pure fantastic!

She looney ..i worry for her sanity if she doesn't win.

I think we will have to see how their personalities develop ...quite a few characters in there

Oh I can't stand her! She's just like that Mel B puppet on Bo Selecta. Looks and sounds just like her.

@ Mel B puppet ....that is funny but so true !!

I want steve to win

she is so mental though, such a drama queen - when she first came in I didn't think she's have that good a voice but it's brilliant! I can see her going all the way, as long as none of the groups win because I don't think any of them are all that good personally.
