It was good. Sharon as a judge was an excellent idea. I love her. That old woman was so sweet. I want her to win (well, I don't, but I think you get my drift). Hopefully it won't become dragged out shit like Pop Idol.

Sharon was fab - esp when she told the guy "dont go to the pub - you shithead!"
Now it really is like an episode of the bleeping Osbournes, they swear like sailors with Sharon Osbourne as Captain !

They were right about that blond quy from the quartet, as soon as he walked through the door I gasped (and then felt much shame for gasping)
And Sharon Osbourne threatening to beat contestants up is just what Reality Pop TV needed.

I love Sharon but she looked worn the fuck out. She needs a nice cup of tea and a sleep. I felt sorry for the way everyone she said was bad slated her family, that's low. I especially hated that white guy who rapped a really cringey cheesy song and seemed to think he was some kind of genius. Sharon would have DESTROYED him.
I didn't get the big deal over the opera band at all. Or the girl who sang En Vogue. And some people who they said were terrible weren't that bad at all.
My favourite bit was:
"How DARE thee say ai luke like a stripper!!!!!!!!!...Well, yeah, that may be so but.."

I thought it was great apart from when Simon went through the two girls who worked in a factory stuffing envelopes who did a rendition of Boys of Summer.
Granted they were terrible but did he have to treat them like dirt. They were too easy as targets.
That rapper guy was an idiot - what an attitude. "I've got 4 albums". "yeah, but they're in your bedroom and nowhere else". Good on Sharon.

It's good that they've got 3 big music people. Doctor Fox was just (an extremely large piece of) dead wood. I've always liked Sharon O, and it's good to see out of the shitness that is The Osbournes. I like the way she is nastey to the ones who can take it (the rapper), and sensitive towards the ones who can't (Boys of Summer twins).

I know! She really has eclipsed The Cowell, which seemed virtually impossible before. I too liked the way she was sensitive towards the Geeky Twins, who looked so proud of themselves as they finished their little routine and then looked utterly crestfallen to be told the truth. And although it wasn't altogether professional to say yes to the young mum at the end, you could tell she knew she shouldn't say it but just couldn't bear to say no. I love her.

Ooooh Myyy Gaaaaawd I'd have put Ben Shephard on ITV1, Mark Durden Smith on ITV2 (or, ideally, vice versa and given Mark the slot he deserves after being stuck in "ITV2 Extra hell") and got shot of Kate Thornton. Her and her green poncho.

Her and her green poncho. Oh please not Ben Shephard! He's one of those very camp married men. Does anyone remember Steve Watley who was on QVC and This Morning and is now on some other shopping channel? Ben could be his son!

Watched this again last night and really enjoying it (even if Simon Fuller is suing Simon Cowell over copyright)! It's kinda nice as winter draws in to sit with a cup of tea and see a bunch of mad people, who think they're good, try for fame.
What I'm not really enjoying is the ITV2 show X-tra Factor. It doesn't really know what it's meant to be and is actually just a waste of time. I used to like Kate Thornton's Pop Idol Extra as it gave you that bit more about the contestants and behind the scenes, but X-tra Factor just seems like a rehash of the ITV1 show with bizarre Ben Shephard bits. I'd sat open mouthed the previous week during a very unfunny sketch of him a nun, but my jaw hit the floor last night when he came on dressed as Marilyn Monroe. Surely the producers realised it wasn't funny one week so why draw it out for a second. Or does Ben have it written into his contract that he can 'drag up' as much as he wants! He's an okay presenter but I hate when people who aren't funny do comedy skits as it just doesn't work. (Jamie Theakston in a sitcom for example).
The thing that really made me laugh was this from Digital Spy: A woman who auditioned for The X Factor has demanded an apology from judge Sharon Osbourne, after being criticised for not wearing a bra, according to The Sun today. Corinne Graehame, a 44DD, has told her lawyer that she wants an apology from Osbourne after being humiliated on the show. 51-year-old Corinne cannot wear a bra because of a skin condition. She told the newspaper, "IÕd lost my voice so Sharon quipped that IÕd obviously lost my bra too. "I know IÕve got big boobs and they donÕt always swing in the same direction, but who cares?" Corinne added, "Kids in rehab, married to a nutter - SharonÕs got a real nerve."

There was a woman from Guernsey on it(the one who did all the flips and stuff). My uncle used to go to school with her. We sat, cringing in embarrasment for the poor love.

Yay, So Unique! They were on that Ian Wright BBC1 show last month. I originally thought they were called Soul Unique.

So Unique - yeah, i saw them on Ian Wright too.
They just seem like a bunch of chavs with bad hair. The other Southampton group were better.

Didn't she say she'd spent £800 to get there? What kind of chemical is being released in these people's heads making them think they're good? It's not just a laugh with them wanting 15 minutes of fame - like the old guy with the dancing legs - they honestly believe they're 'it'!

So Unique - yeah, i saw them on Ian Wright too. I think it was this lot that really distressed me. They were harmonising, and doing a reasonable job of it, except for one of them who was completely off. And I mean completely. Not even in the same postal district as the tune. I used to be in an acapella choir, so I tend to become The Harmony Police when I watch stuff like this...

I want to be that crazy old dancing man! He was so cool. How HILARIOUS was that bit where the psycho Kitten-a-like got in a fight with some pikey mom, and the mom said, "well at least my daughter can sing", and to prove the implicit judgement in that statement wrong crazy Kitten lady sang, "SSSSSssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIng" like Mariah on crack, whilst wafting a hand in pikey mom's face? Very, is the answer you are looking for. I felt so embarrassed on her behalf.
