  I am too.
  
  Only 5 shows in the series seemingly-hard to see how people can get that involved. The first twenty minutes would have taken X Factor 5 weeks.

  Tenner says the twins get through even if they're rubbish.

  If they make it all the way to Moscow, do you think they'll address the crowd the same as they did in Sheffield...?

  Well the twins have my vote. The problem with any show like this that the Beeb do is that they cant really ape any of Simon Cowells shows. I mean it looks like the decision has been made pretty much already and we are just seeing pen pictures of those who are going to appear. And the whole thing will feel like its over before it starts.
  
  Anyway come on Nicole and Francine (I think)

  I think this whole thing is stupid. If the UK wants to do well at Eurovision it has to send off a very good singer with a very good song. Inviting in amateurs is completely the wrong way to do it, and I bet Andrew Lloyd Webbed Feet writes a lousy smaltzy song. If they're going to do this "reality" thing, they should have two parallel competitions, one for the performer, and one for the song. But even better, just go to U2 or other monster act and ask them.

  That Katie was in the auditions of I'd do anything and she has an amazing voice. Very operatic but amazing.

  OMG. Thanks for that. I thought I recognised them from somewhere.

  Found that programme really dull, it didn't grab me at all, and I usually enjoy these reality/singing contest things. I think maybe the BBC+Norton+Lloyd-Webber+Contest thing has been done to death now, it needs something new.

  I knew that I recognised her from some reality show audition. Does any one know what song she was auditioning with before they told her to switch to Fields of Gold. It is driving me crazy.

  Wasn't that a bit strange as the show was finishing a new entrant just popped up and made the final six???
  
  
  Where did she come from!

  Where did Jade arrive from? She looks like someone who would end up winning the X Factor.
  
  We might as well have not had this show and started with the live ones.

  I assume Jade is the plant then aka the chosen one.
