    So I just found out that the reason why Chris Brown attacked Rihanna Feb 08. 2009 was because he got a text from another dude about hooking up and Rihanna found out about it so Chris “Loose Booty” Brown beat her because he didn’t want that to comee out in the open! Chris “Loose booty ” Brown like males..lol no wonder why him, Omarion, and Bow Wow where all close

    I quite liked Cher’s audition, was very different but I think she pulled it off. Was kind of embarrassing to watch at first though. Chloe Victoria is a walking disaster, I really don’t know how the hell she got through. Matt Cardle is good, he’s gonna go far.

    I WAS WATCHING CHER YESTERDAY AND I THOUGHT W…T..F…

    HER AUDITION WAS MILES BETTER! DISAPPOINTED

  7. Graeme Fernie September 26, 2010

    Matt Cardle was absolutely fabulous in my humble opinion – afraid I don’t agree with simons comment about lack of self confidence surely the x factor is all about finding and fine tuning such a fabulous talent he was absolutely amazing – pray he goes all the way fingers crossed he makes the live finals.

    this is Cher’s 2nd audition and she’s already getting annoying. Stop trying so hard girl

  9. hunni2nice September 26, 2010

    apparently matt cardle does go through to the live show which im happy about.

  10. Dev September 26, 2010

    I love Nicole, i love she’s original… Urrrn, no is isn’t! I could see Nicho;e trying to pull that ish off! I knew Cher was overrated and this again proves it.

    What gets me is that Gabriella from Miss Frank was way better than this and they didn’t put her through only in a group.

    Cher’s rendition of Viva la Vida was brilliant. Emotive, relevant and powerful, I loved her additional rap and the beginning, and I love the fact she’s not on to show off her good looks and become the next Mariah/Whitney/Christina clone: she’s trying something new.

    As for Chloe, well… it would’ve been nice to have a British Ke$ha but unfortunately she stuffed it.

    And as for Matt Cardle. Wow. I was blown away. I think I was sweating by the time he finished. :L

    Omg what passion,what he did to that song he made it his own and what a preformance.Cant wait to hear him sin g again.

  13. KRow September 26, 2010

    ODDONE, I loved Cher’s audition but this wasn’t anything ‘additional’ from her, she lied when she said she had written the beginning rap when it clearly just Swizz Beatz’ track which is called ‘That Opera’:

    Love Cher love her swag

  15. Teflon Boy September 26, 2010

    I can see what Cher’s doing and I respect that, because while it’s not particularly fresh in terms of what I/we know of black music, it is fresh for middle-England and if her auditions make it more Ok for undiluted Hiphop-infuenced performers to do well and get airplay in the Uk then that can only be a good thing. I also feel that if more acts refused to dilute themselves for the show then the producers then have to make sure the song choices reflect them on the live show…., because it would be a p***-take if an act like Cher mads the show then was forced to perform the stereotypical Whitney, Christina pop-ballad-stuff when she’s clearly not on that. We’ll have to just see how relevant/current the songs chosen for her are as the bulk of stuff that would suit her is in the chart now, not what was in the charts 5 years ago like usual -Britney week anyone?! that’s not Cher’s swag, nor should it be.

    @ KROW

    Woops, sorry my mistake. It was good anyway 🙂

    Thought Cher was great!! She did something different and took a risk…that is what I want to see on the show. She has a lot of potential and with the right direction she will go very far. She will learn that people quickly try to label her and put her in a small box…smart of her to do something nobody was expecting. Loved it!

    so humble and very sincere man, all our prayers for him, He is destine to superstardom.BRAVO MATT………..

    I think that Simon mis-characterized Matt’s issues. Matt knows that he is a damn good singer – his is confident in that and that is why is even there. He knows his own potential. What Matt has been lacking is people around him that believe that singing should be his career. He’s probably had people repeatedly tell him to go and find a proper career. He has resisted making that final boring career choice for fear of losing his dream. That is why he keeps ending up in “rubbish jobs.” Dead end jobs are easy to get out of. But without people to cheer him on, he has lost the confidence that his preferred career path can ever happen. He knows he can succeed at it, its just that nobody has helped him find his way. But now it seems that he has built the courage up to go for it even if it puts him out on a limb. He desparately wants the chance, but just doesn’t know to believe that success is something he deserves.
