X Factor

I really can’t imagine that the Celeb live shows will be a different studio to the All Stars one though.

Isn't All Stars going to be a stripped affair rather than weekly, and rumoured to be taking place in an arena?

God this show is a mess mind isn't it.

Does anyone know where these (superior) titles are from? Fan made or an international version?

IIRC Simon has a credit for creating this theme tune. Do you think he wrote the lyrics?

Nice to see Neil Buchanan make the X Factor logo as his Big Art Attack

He reportedly used to go into the studio during Westlife recording sessions to "play" the triangle in order to get a credit (and therefore royalties).

Isn't Birmingham where Syco and Thames did that dance show for the BBC? Only reason I can think of

The Greatest Dancer auditions were filmed in the ICC, Birmingham. Live shows were filmed in the same studios as X Factor - LH2 Studios, London

They just couldn’t resist some drama

Jenny Ryan not making the live show shock!

...a couple of days later the usual ‘we made a terrible mistake’ nonsense and now she IS in the live shows

It's exactly this type of rubbish, over-the-top, fake, formulaic drivel that stopped me watching X Factor several years back.

It all felt very rushed on Saturday (episode 2) - no mention or look at the deliberation of who was getting through. Did the judges even make the decision?

Also earlier in the show, Howie did a piece to camera saying only 9 acts were going through and how he was happy to not have to make the decision. But then 11 acts went through (before Vinnie Jones was given the sympathy free pass).

In the end, with Jenny's addition, ONLY 2 acts were sent home. Almost made the auditions pointless, in saying that those 2 were pretty terrible... Jeremy Edwards?!?
