    Hard to explain why but the X factor is lacking a certain "x factor" this year!! Maybe it's just familiarity but then again, strictly nevers changes an iota and still has a great buzz and sense of occasion going on. X factor just seems a bit dead somehow.

    I've always much rathered X factor to SCD but this year it's SCD that's the Saturday night highlight in our house with X factor still watched, but clearly second fiddle.

    Yep if you look at the mostly negative posts people just feel enough is enough, it's all gotten too ridiculous!

    Its bad because most of them cant actually sing in tune. They say they are trying their best if that is their best they need to look for a new career. Sam proves she is a good singer week in week out. She hits every note effortlessly.

    I've only watched the Sunday shows this year, the Saturday show is far too long and tedious (even when Sky plussed!). I see all I need to see from the Sunday show (on Sky + of course).

    This week is incredibly dull, we all know they want Miss Dynamix out because one of them is pregnant and therefore a risk - they'll certainly not want to risk taking them further considering potential health problems and they definitely will not want them on the tour. No matter who they are against, Miss Dynamix are going home.

    Yet the ones that can are being dragged down by the negative

    Sam bailey has a world class voice

    Also I think this year is a lot stronger than the last 5 years

    I'm actually enjoying it more than other years so maybe people are just bored with it

    It just doesn't seem to be particularly entertaining.

    We all know that the producers will manipulate things here and there, but for me, everything just seems a bit "meh" this series.

    A few bright lights and upbeat songs wouldn't go a miss.

    Would love to know how many viewers aged, say under 25, could name all of the songs last night.

    I disagree. I think it's just as exciting as usual and the best show on a Saturday night.

    So, so, so dull. Looks like Gary finally got the XF he always wanted, the one with all the fun sucked out of it

    THIS ISN A SHOW JUT FOR PEOPLE UNDER 25

    I am sick of children dictating how a show goes because they think its exclusively for them

    I happen to love Sam Bailey

    I'm over 40 and bored sick of the bland dull dated ballad heavy song choices. At least the disco theme next week should mean some up tempo but I won't hold my breath

    Absolutely. The day we take XF seriously as a credible show to genuinely find the best undiscovered talent in the UK is the day we might as well give up.

    It's Saturday night light entertainment for the cold, dark months. If it ran from June to August,no one would watch

    Yes too many ballads. It is dreary.. the best acts did not go through to the live shows.. Who chooses the songs?

    I agree. The way this is looking we are just going to have a whole load of ballady singers and Rough Copy left to watch. That won't be very entertaining IMO.

    Dull as water from Luke's hairwash. They managed to suck the energy out of Rough Copy and I thought Abi was sleep-singing.

    Good comments, it's basically a comedy show & is only remotely popular because of the dark, damp winter nights & is nothing to do with real music.

    As someone said last night, Britain surely does have talent, but none of it has applied for the X Factor this year.

    I thought the season picked up hugely last night. Three of the contestants put in stunning performances, whilst a couple of the others showed huge improvement and to be contenders. The groups were meh! at best though and Abi was embarrassing, but all in all a great night, certainly as good as I've seen. It did need to get better, week 2 was shockingly poor.

    They will deliver a better show and show so much star quality. The show's "only 10."

    I think Week 1 was alright and nice actually. RC, Tamera, Hannah, Abi, Sam B were all great.

    Week 2 we had Tamera and Hannah who were great. Sam C and Luke were alright.

    Then in Week 3, we have Sam B singing that cheese laid song which I'm sure everyone loved. Hannah was still a stand-out and gave a performance from this century. Luke was interesting. Tamera was good. RC and Nick were alright.

    So I think Week 3 was actually an improvement compared to Week 2 and Week 1. It's just that the judges' comments are getting harsher. ;)
