Evening.

Urgh OTT or what?

Our old friend James Arthur

Do you guys remember when the X Factor was the best show on TV

OK WTF is this?

Yay opening with black girl magic I love it

It could be 20 minutes before we see the first act.

Who are these lot

Are they auditioning

No sign of Ben Haenow in the mawkish introductory montage.

Huh, I would have thought they'd erase James Arthur from X Factor history.

I do enjoy this "remember when people watched this?" montage. Though it ruins the suspense a tad to have the contestants shoved in there.

Yeah, back before they did intros like this one and just got on with things!

Evening all TFTT

Here we go , i havent had a good moan on a Saturday since last Saturday,

Let the MOANS begin

Evening all. Thanks Richie. Didn't know this was on tonight.

I still don't understand what they saw in Grimmy, yes he's aligned with the end goal for the artists, which is getting airplay on R1, but he doesn't know anything in terms of management, styling, a background in music to help in the mentoring process for the acts.

This opening is annoying me already, get on with it FFS

Hi everyone... I'm new to The X Factor Forums. I'm no stranger to the Digital Spy Forums though as you can probably tell by my posts.

I am looking forward to tonight's show.

Oh cripes, they just can't help themselves can they?

Hi all

New credits at long last

i see simon hasn't been standing close enough to the razor again this year

I want to shout 'Get On With It' already!

They were about to sing

Why cut them off

Ooh, I like that new intro.

Bloody Dermot "Can't keep his bloody hands still" O'Leary

Let the farce begin

Back when you'd refresh and the thread would've already jumped 2-3 pages!
