It's hard to believe this is a semi final. All of them are piss poor. Luckily the judges are just reciting lines. They are definitely not giving feedback on what they are witnessing.

An absolute shambles of a series. :sleep:

Have to agree. Don't have anybody this year that I really want to win. Just hope james doesnt win as I think he is very overrated.

I hope Maloney wins

I don't think they should bother with the final, put it on ITV 3.

I got my album out with Will Young, Gareth Gates, Zoe Birkett, Darious, Hayley etc, all talented, all same season.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the OP - such a shame.

I have to agree. I now want Christopher to win by default/to take the mickey, but truth be told there was only one great act in the final 13 which was Ella.

But her chances of winning were wrecked by her mentor (bad song choices, not realising the song was being sung in the wrong key, turning a fun Grease Soundtrack song into a funeral dirge, not allowing her to sing any original compositions that were far better than that sub Kate Nash/Victoria Wood hybrid had, etc) who did not have a clue at getting the best out of her act.

I am not into boy bands. But if there has to be a winner I think it should be union j

third that , very poor semi

The one with the Xfactor has gone - Ella.

this semifinal is as dull as ditchwater

it needs a Rylan mashup to liven it up

OP summed it up in a nutshell.

Rylan had the X Factor.

I honestly think they have all deteriorated significantly since their first auditions. Ella was going downhill too. I'm glad she went before I went off her completely too.

Lol. My hubby and I are just after saying the same thing and unlike some of the joke acts in the past like jedward he could sing a bit

If only he could sing as well ...

He did, he was the only one with any charisma. He also proved he could sing on a couple of occassions when given the right songs.

Fixed it for you

Maloney should win

Well I thought Christopher had just won crappiest performance of the series with his second song but James has just edged it with that. What planet are the judges on? Thank goodness it's a different one to me.

Rylan, what a barrowload of shite.

I think it is one of the worst, Union J and Chris sung the best, Jahmene was better on his second song and James, well he sounded and looked like he had a bad bout of constipation, but then he is full of it!

I think this as been the worst year ever for the x factor

Didn't say he was good, but he was the only one had the X Factor . Ella had nothing apart from an overrated voice and an old face (and so they had to remind us 100 times every week that she's ONLY 16! )

To be fair I don't think he did have the X Factor. Ella does have a great voice, she can sing in tune, which is more than anyone of those left can, especially Jahmene, what a racket he makes. As for Baloney he's the pub singer from your nightmare and Arthur just makes my head hurt. What a load of absolute rubbish this series has been.

Was Matt Cardle a worthy winner
