Can't believe it's the last season! It's on the channel 4Music (Freeview 18) starting shortly at 8pm.

Thought I'd start a thread in case anyone wants to discuss it.

I was surprised she got through. (Incredible to think she's been watching AI all her life!).

Absolutely loved this show back in the day...bit naff now...hate the way the judges always feel the need to try new stuff and make things "entertaining". Just get on with the process instead of arsing about.

They've been doing that since last year and I agree it's annoying, especially when they talk through the audition

loved the indian girl

absolutely stunning looks and so refreshing to see someone singing a song like that without the need to try and over-sing and throw in loads of vocal gymnastics

Maybe too soon to tell. I hope some AI fan have managed to find it.

So many people are incredible singers in tonight's episode so far. I can't even remember how many times Harry has said that an audition is the best he's ever seen!

I don't know much about this channel so I'm not sure what ratings would be like, but I'd like to think that as this is a shorter season (the final in early April) they will show all of it regardless.

I liked Ryan as a judge. He was pretty good! Glad he got a chance to be a judge, at least once, before the show is over.

yeah that was nice. I can't believe he's never been given the opportunity before! Its one of those things where you are sure you remember it happening but obviously it didn't!

Just caught up with Tuesday's episode. I liked the girl at the end. Reminded me a bit of Alesha Keys before Jen mentioned it.

Should be able to find the ratings at BARB:

http://www.barb.co.uk/whats-new/weekly-top-10?

Simply click on the link, click on the '#' icon. Click on 4music and then click 'view figures'. As long as it makes the top 10 we'll see how it rates every episode!

Watched the Tuesday episode presuming it was a repeat of Monday night's, but reading this, I can't recall the indian girl mentioned. So, are Monday and Tuesday different episodes? The listing descriptions don't mention episode numbers.

Yes, I watched both. They were both different.

Thank you. I missed the first episode then. I've set both to record from now on

Well I set my TIVO to record the series but it only picked up the first one. It's probably my fault as I haven't used it before. I only got the TIVO because it was cheaper to renew my cable subscription by accepting a TIVO box than it would have been to just have broadband.

I enjoyed the first episode even though they don't seem to have included many hopeless singers - perhaps more of them are weeded out now before reaching the judges?

For me it is much better seeing the singers in front of the three judges rather than with a live audience, as in X-Factor.

Just caught up with the second episode on YouTube. The standard this year seems to me to be very good - much better than the recent UK shows. Of course there were some singers I didn't like (but the judges raved over) so I'll have to see how it goes - providing 4Music keeps showing it!

I have been able to set up series links for the Monday and Tuesday shows - from 1 February! I couldn't series link them during January so have set those shows up separately.

Strange about the series link - my mum was having problems with it too and had to re-set it again for tonight.

Episode 3 is on at 8pm tonight.
