Hey Jess!

Thanks hun! I hope so, lol

I posted about Closer mag last night Love the new pic of them! Pretty good article too. Does everyone in Liverpool know each other??! LOL

Hi Jess!

I bought 4 mags today but not that one I bought Reveal instead without flicking through and it was all about Leona.

What are the pics like?

Haha, that sounds like something I would do! I buy most monthly mags and a fair few weekly ones too Shame they all add up in the end though! I was expecting to see ER in a few weekly ones from Tuesday, but they were only in Closer..

Aw, really? There seems to be a lot of negativity over there, so I don't think you're missing much. I prefer it on here

Yeah I think it was you who 'persuaded' me to buy it today

The pics are fab, there's one of them performing Scissor Sisters (Camp Pirate-esque!) and one of them sat down together - stunning boys aren't they Only 2 pics I know, but they're the first of many more to come!

Me too but they don`t seem too interested in the acts once they`ve been booted out. I can`t remember reading much about the others really either. It all seems to be about Leona and Ben at the moment (or at least in the ones I read).

Aw I usually buy Reveal too.. I don't usually go for Closer! I flicked through them quickly though and saw ER were in Closer, so that made my mind up for me

There's one pic from last week of them performing IDFLD, and another pic of them sitting with Coleen. Both pics are a decent size as well. Definitely worth getting

Of course

On Tuesday I bought almost every one except Closer too hun - typical huh?! Although there was a teeny pic of the in New so that was ok

LOL Jess! I love the pic of them sitting with Coleen... they look great. I can't wait to see the photoshoot in i-D magazine...

I was talking about this last night... the coverage of the X Factor this year where magazines are concerned is terrible IMO. Ben and Leona seem to be everywhere, while the other acts hardly get a mention! I remember last year in Heat, the majority of the acts were featured in there each week.

I`m supposed to be sending my friend`s b/day present soon so I might as well post it early and get a copy. She`ll get it a week early but oh well

LOL! It's worth it if you get to see ER

Sickening isn;t it? I think ER have got a big enough fan base for people to be interested in them now, well at least I hope so anyway! I want at least one mag a week with pics and article in on them! They deserve to be stars because they are, I still worry that Louis will not keep his promise, but then, he'd be a TOTAL fool not to wouldn't he?

It's only ever been about Ben and Leona this year - other years at least the other acts have got a look in.

Oh well, once everyone realises the "smoke and mirrors" stuff that's gone on with those two I would think ER will be just about ready to re-launch themselves, hopefully not too tainted by having been involved with the worst series of X Factor so far.

BTW, I asked my daughter what she liked about Ben's performance on Saturday - she said "the fireworks" My son said the best bit of Leona's singing is when she stops. Think they'd make better judges than XF's got!

Haha they certainly would
Wohoo DivaLoca I'm so excited about their re launch, it won't be a day too soon!

EDIT: slightly confused... does my sentence make sense? Did I use the right one...

Wise kids . They sum up my thoughts perfectly.

I feel the same, Jess. However, I think with the amount of times he's said it on national TV now, he must surely mean it? I doubt he would keep repeating himself on live TV if he had any doubts about it. Also, the boys themselves seem so upbeat about things... I doubt they would appear so happy if they had no plans for the future, you know?

Just think, this time next year they could have their own album out!

Definitely sickening. Hopefully ER get the last laugh when Leona and Ben bomb after a couple of hits (hopefully!) and they end up being much more successful. I`m hoping for a Liberty X kind of thing (in that they had a far better career than Hearsay even though were supposedly the "losers").

Yeah I keep reassuring myself like that too Katie, so hopefully it will all be ok I know!! A year is such a long time to wait, but I'd wait forever for those boys, they're just amazing

LOL DivaLoca Sounds about right!

My mum used to really like Ben, but she's completely gone off him now. She says he comes across as arrogant (which I've always thought anyway), and his performances are always just that - a "performance". He barely sang at all in his "Live and Let Die" performance on Saturday, it was all about the piano, pyro and dramatic orchestra sounds. Makes me wonder what he'll come out with on Saturday...

Interesting the Reveal article about Leona was ever so slightly negative - it revealed (pardon the pun) about her already recorded album ( I thought everyone knew about that though?!) and that BMG have apparently bought it for a six-figure deal to stop it being leaked. Hope it`s worth the cash Simon!

Exactly. I'm sure they will be just fine I wish we knew more about the Westlife tour... I'm worried I've bought tickets for nothing, LOL! Oh well.
A year is a long time to wait, but hopefully as the months go on we'll keep hearing little bits of news about what they're up to and stuff.

Hopefully the photoshoot for i-D magazine will come with an interview too - I'm sure it must do? That might answer a few questions as well.

Very true... he sung just a few lines and the rest was the 'orchestra' which he had nowt to do with anyway, yet he is still 'amazing'?!
And when he was asked why he was in the bottom two he was like 'I dunno I didn't get enough votes' and it sounded like he was being sarcastic and a little nasty due to his arrogance...
Don't know whether it's that I'm bitter over Ben going through, but I really don't like the guy tbh.

Thanks Cat, it was me. Will start downloading them now.
Haven't been able to look on here since Monday so much appreciated)
Maria

Wow, really?! Simon must be so certain that she is going to win this...

Am I the only person who doesn't think she will? I'm sure she'll make it to the final, but I just don't think she'll walk away as the winner.

Bound to include a piano. It seems like almost all of his performances have included a piano at some point, bar about one or two.
