I have to say so far Im loving the new Judges, especially Kelly and Gary :mrgreen:. I think a lot of the bickering has gone now that Simon, Cheryl and Dannii have gone and even though I liked them, I havent missed that!

So far, my fave auditions have been Johnny Robinson and Janet Devlin:

They're both amazing singers, and Im quite sure that both of them will get to the live shows (Janet especially!).

:eek: I loved the bickering!
Like when Sharon threw water over Louis, or when Louis made Dannii cry, or when Simon totally destroyed Cheryl's US career. That's what made the show so dynamic. There's no relationships between the new judges yet, and I doubt they will have the same kind of chemistry (or lack of!) that we fell in love with the old panel for...

I really like the new judges, but the actual talent has been a bit disappointing so far. Alexandra Burke's year was brilliant, but since then I think the standard has declined a bit :(
Hopefully things will pick up in the coming weeks :)

STB channel finished airing X-Factor 2 auditions and this Saturday will be given to the quarterfinal. What can I say, so far I like the 2nd season more than first. Much bigger diversity and better vocalists.

Meanwhile, STB confirmed that Kylie Minogue will open the 1st show on October 22 :D

Week One's theme will be UK vs US - hopefully there will be some good performances. The guests are Matt Cardle and Cee Lo Green :D.
Im looking forward to watching it; I shall be at home this weekend so I'll be discovering most of the singers for the first time though as it stands right now, Im still rooting for Janet Devlin. I cant believe Frankie Cocozza got through, he's such a tw*t! :evil:

xkiss Hope that she won't perform CGYOOMH though :lol: :*)

The 1st season was really ESC-oriented (they had every winner since 2007 except Lena + Lara Fabian and other Ukrainian and Russian ESC participants).

I predict Koldun or Tom Dice for the 2nd season. I know they negotiated with Adele and Susan Boyle. Overall our X-Factor became more interesting than ESC :*)

Tonight was quite a good launch live show, though I dont think it was as good as last year!

My favourite was Marcus Collins, I thought his performance was very energetic but also his singing was pretty good! :D

James Michael was really good too, my second favourite!

Nu Vibe probably followed for me, I think they're brilliant =)).

Also a few others were pretty good; Janet Devlin, Mischa B, 2 Shoes, Johnny Robinson, and it pains me to say it, but Frankie Cocozza! :lol:

Who would have thought that she had cancer not so long ago. She seemed so energetic, optimistic and she flirted with our judges. Few phrases in Ukrainian (as always) and singing together with the audience. In the end it was almost 1AM but she looked fresh & happy.

The 2nd show will be given to Russian band UmaTurman, the 3rd show is up to Bonnie Tyler.

Marcus Collins all the way... I so want him to win! :D

Love him! :eek: :D

Also, I just found out some interesting gossip about him :mrgreen:. His boyfriend David Heath came 5th on The X Factor 2006 as part of the band 'Eton Road' - after the lead singer left in 2007, Marcus joined as his replacement and that's how they met... awww! :D

There's no doubt that Misha is talented, but she leaves me ice cold. I would definitely have kept Sophie over her.

I was quite bemused by the rave comments towards Craig. Compared to the original, I thought his version was very subpar - that is always going to be a risk, when you choose to cover someone as talented as Adele.

I loved Janet's interpretation of Every Breath You Take. So haunting and beautiful (although somewhat out of tune in the beginning).

My favourites from Saturday: Janet, Marcus, Little Mix and Kitty.
