    I do love Matt Cardle (by the way the video is wrong) and Cher Lloyd! Cher is so artistic! Unfirtunately F.Y.D. are so oldfashinoed even if i like them!

  2. T October 9, 2010

    Im from the US and I’ve been watching since last season on youtube and Im so glad to see that Cher did well because I liked her from the start.

  3. spring October 9, 2010

  4. Lakstar October 9, 2010

    matt was amazing and cher was totally crap!

  5. mat October 9, 2010

    Cher is the most current and the only one that will do good!! Fact, face it!!

  6. Dunster October 9, 2010

    After tonight’s PR Farce Cher was still terrible. Cher is current according to who?Musical tastes vary and anyone can be current with a make over, singing is paramount and Cher cant sing

  7. Dunster October 9, 2010

    Cher needs to go hard or go home!

  8. Salz October 9, 2010

    x factor has gone downhill, wat ever happened to REAL talent

  10. Daniel October 9, 2010

    CHER WAS AMAZING!!! SUCK ON THAT GAMU!!! HAHAHAHAHA

  11. Truthfully October 9, 2010

    Cher and katie are a waste of space i hope they both go out tomor….and for gamu everything happens for a reason coz of all this hype around her i can see her getting signed in or out of england…..and x factor has deffo turned sour for me its like talent doesnt even matter anymore….i did like mary though and matt…..

  12. Ladia Yates October 9, 2010

    I think X Factor is becoming more about creating an ENTERTAINER rather than looking for just a singer.

    BTW JOHN ADELEYE IS S*** BUT HE DIDN’T SOUND GOOD

    CHER SUCKS ASS.

    REBECCA WAS THE BEST

    AND FYD REMINDS ME OF JLS.

    I LIKE HOW Belle Amie REMIXED AIRPLANES AND ADDED A MELODY. I THINK THE GIRL WHO WAS ADLIBING SHOULD’VE SANG LEAD BUT THEN AGAIN THAT GIRL WHO WAS SINGING LEAD VOICE DID GO WELL WITH THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE SONG.

    STORM WAS COOL AND DIFFERENT.

  13. Mo Money October 9, 2010

    Matt wasn’t that spectacular you just liked him because he sung when love takes

    I loved TreyC’s performance.

    By the way her ASS is HUGE.

  14. love bunny October 10, 2010

    Cher proved all the haters wrong!!
    Simon said “Any doubts anyone had about why this one picked you has just been totally and utterly blown away.”
    Mary was great too!!

  15. Lady Honest October 10, 2010

    Both Cher and Katie are utter S***

    Cher > One trick pony ( Being a White girl attempting to rap and sing R&B songs, doesn’t equal Star quality, that’s what all the hype is about because it certainly aint about her vocals, Cheryl Cole Wannabe!! )

    Katie > Crap Crap, can’t sing, just another wannabe, She tried the Madonna look, now she thought she try a bit of Lady Gaga, what next? Lets get her out tomorrow before she murders another song like she did tonight, she should of never of got to the live shows.

  16. FentonJay October 10, 2010

    Need Gamu, think she would do so well. Matt did really good at a song that I think is so hard to sing. He owned it!!!!!

    I am from Jamaica, so don’t really get to see the X-Factors, but is it possible to bring her (Gamu) back (wild card)?? I sure hope so, her audition was so good. I fell in love with her on the spot.

    GAMU!!!!!

  17. THE_M_C_FAN October 10, 2010

    this must be some kind of joke! some of these performances are just a complete mess!! i did like Matt Cardle ,Rebecca Ferguson , Mary Byrne , Katie Waissel and my favorite has got to be TreyC Cohen. the rest were just a mess!! i’m surprised they even let them throug :/

  18. Miles October 10, 2010

    I had hoped for a LOT more from Cher (as I’m sure many did also). Her audition was so incredible. Everything since the audition has been very disappointing. Her voice is thin, a little weak and she tends to go flat way too often. The setup of the stage and dancers are the only thing that made this watchable. Not sure what the judges had to say but if it was all positive, I’m definitely starting to think this thing is fixed.

  19. Danni October 10, 2010

    For meeeeeeee…… MARY OWNED THAT SHEEEEEIT

  20. Ronlo October 10, 2010

    Well, I must say, I have been watching X-Factor from the USA and it is WAY better than American Idol. I don’t respect that Cheryl didn’t bring back Gamu. I honestly feel because she is black she didn’t make it. Cher’s performance was OKAY for me. She didn’t really sing. It sounded mediocre. Matt wasn’t that great either but, they gave a good performance. The singing wasn’t really there tonight. TreyC killed it though in terms of singing. X-Factor is cool. I hope the results are posted on the site tomorrow. I am really excited to see who makes it. This is my first season of x-factor and I am exciting :).

  21. Jeff October 10, 2010

    WTF HAPPENED TO X-FACTOR THIS SEASON?

    I feel Like Im Watching Britains Got Talent, Instead of the x-factor.

  22. TheBaddestBitch October 10, 2010

    This year SUCKS. The only one who could have saved the show is GAMU.

    Cher = Horrible, Cheryl Cole wannabe, FAKE, No real talent.

    I’m done with X-Factor this year. BYE

  23. Trent Is The R***** October 10, 2010

    THE CONCLUSION HERE IS ALL THE TWEENERS WITH NO EXPERIENCE IN MUSIC EXCEPT LISTENING TO RIHANNA, KE$SHA CRAP, BRIT BRIT, ET AL LIP SYNCING THINKS CHER IS GOOD. EVERYONE ELSE WITH A MUSICAL MIND AND OVER 18 WITH A SENSE OF MUSICAL HISTORY KNOW CHER IS FUCKTASTIC. SEE A PATTERN HERE??

    FORTUNATELY, THE MUSIC AND CD BUYERS ARE THOSE OF THE LATTER CATEGORY WHILST THE FIRST GROUP JUST F****** DOWNLOAD S*** FOR FREE. NOW, WHICH GROUP DO THE THINK THE XFACTOR PRODUCERS ARE GONNA CATER TO IN THE END?? EXACTLY, THE WINNER WILL BE SOMEONE WHO HAS REAL VOCALS NOT SOME SLUM-TASTIC B**** WHO FAKES CHOREOGRAPHY AND LIPS HER WAY TO GIVE THE MALE JUDGES A F****** BLOW JOB. SORRY CHER AND KATIE… BESIDES CHER IS A STRUNG OUT METH ADDICT. HENCE, HER SUNKEN CHEEKS! TRUTH!!

  24. Damo October 10, 2010

    CHER WAS S***

  25. Ayo October 10, 2010

    BEST OF THE NIGT: Matt, Mary Treyc, Rebecca.

    Still don’t get the hype around cher. I thought her performance and the stage steup was cute, but then I heard the vocals. Lord Jesus have mercy on my ears.

  26. MUSIC LOVER October 10, 2010

    I honestly liked Cher’s first audition performance, but that b**** really is fucken overrated!

    Aden is my favorite by far followed by Belle Amie and One Direction. Those two groups are so marketability= $$$. I like Mary too. I just don’t like the Susan Boyle comparison. Rebecca did well too. I love her the tone of voice, but she bores me.

    I can’t believe you didn’t post up Aiden’s performance who BY FAR had the BEST performance and best vocals (well apart from Mary). He was 100% committed. GO AIDEN!!!

  27. S*** October 10, 2010

    @ Trent Is The R*****

    I agree, But dont be afraid to add Gaga & Madonna in with RIHANNA, KE$SHA & Britney.

    Its nice to see REAL Talent like Beyonce & Susan Bowle be successful in sounds Awful times in this current industry cause these Non-Singing/Dancing B****** are really taking over.

  28. Trent Is The R***** October 10, 2010

    @S***

    OH, DONT WORRY… LADY CACA DESERVES HER OWN CRAPTASTIC THREAD THAT’S WHY SHE WASNT INCLUDED HERE. BESIDES, SHE’S A SELF-ADMITTED COKE USER.

    – 1.

  29. zee October 10, 2010

    cher = big time flop. please she cant sing, or rap, or have any ‘artistic’ talent. like WTF get kicked out already.

    One direction i thought had a lot of potential but their show was weak, viva la vida? Seriously?!
    dont even try. think they should aim to stylise themselves as an alternative to the wanted.

    nicolo sounded like a real star and damn sure acted like one too. almost sang like one too! i like!

    The airplanes song i thought was kinda blah until one of them did the vocal runs.

    MATT TOTALLY STOLE THE SHOW WITH WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER!
    OMG he was damn good, at first i was skeptical because its so damn hard to sing it! but WOW he nailed it! WAY TO GO!

  30. tmak1990 October 10, 2010

    GWAN CHER!!!!!!!! REPRANSANT!!!!!! I NO THATS SPELLED WRONG LOL IM A LITTLE TIPSY SHE DID AMAZING CHER TO WIN AFETER THAT ,,,, SHE BLEW EVERYONE OFF THE STAGE SHE TURNED HER SWAG ON!

  31. vegasgirl October 10, 2010

    Weeelll…that was a lot of interesting sounds that came out of people’s mouths, some of it on key/pitch, some of it was not ( i can kinda see why they were using autotune). MAtt and Treyc were the most consistent and least pitchy singers that night. That Rebecca has an unique sound but something just didn’t sound right to me. Luckily she has a nice look and that can help people dismiss certain things. Cher has “swag” but that song was all wrong, she sang the chorus and rapped a verse, nothing about that song was beneficial to her. This show really exposed some weaknesses in the contestants.

    I don’t understand why more aren’t upset about Katie with her supremely weak vocals being there. From some comments, Cher seems to be absorbing alot of venom but there are so many weak folks there that she really shouldn’t be the only recepient of hate. I don’t get to watch the show here in the U.S. so I don’t know the backstory on the contestants but Cher isn’t the worst there, not by a long shot.

    I do like that the show gives each performer the opportunity to perform with lighting, dancer , etc. That seems like fun.

  32. Dunster October 10, 2010

    I’m really getting tired of the words “swag” and “epic” used for everything….especially when it isn’t

  33. HBF82 October 10, 2010

    Simon Cowell insulted Mariah. One sweet day holds the record for the most weeks at #1. It was a big hit in UK too.
    AI season 7 finalists sang OSD as a group song, during Mariah’s week, in front of him, Paula and Randy. Various contestants sang OSD on X Factor, also. It’s a shame that a man who runs a POP song contest know such a little about POP music. He also insulted the whole population of New Zealand.

  34. antertain October 10, 2010

    Treyc & Matt did it for me.
    Singers have talent. Rebecca is also good toned singer but i need more from her
    (one to watch)

    Mary put her all in that so i give her props. She did well

    John was ok but he couldn’t did abit more.
    Aiden & 1direction (aka the Harry Potters) are UK pop stars.

    Cher song suited her but YES Cheryl mini-mee is JUST that. She has presence on stage which is excellent. She’d do well in europe.

    Katie is a pop singer so people shouldnt be looking to her vocals cus they wont be that strong. She dont really stand out to me because although the judges say she’s different for the show in the POP world she wouldnt be, especially with GaGa around

    The others need to step up

  35. elleuk October 10, 2010

    cher is a hype, i loved her at auditions but ever since then she’s has not proven herself to be more than a gimmick. see white girl from small town trying to be street (bandana check) and urban (cringy rap check). cheryl loves her because chav loves chav, its a scientific fact.

    also rebecca could have gotten a better song, her ade and traycee were given the typical oh we got a black person, lets give them some old motown or whitney to sing. louis is old so he gets a pass from me, but cheryl is younge ad should know better. its clear she was more focused on her two other more (insert sarcasm) “orginal” acts. which is exactly how she trated alexander burk in the beginning before alex outlived the favorites to win, laura and diana.
    my money is on aiden to win, hes got a great voice and cute enough to win over the younge t*** audience. only problem is that xfactor kills the career of any male winner see steve brockstein, shayne ward ad leon jackson aka who, who ad who?

  36. ~AalexisR~ The Summer King (The Bahamas) October 10, 2010

    Bring back Keri. One Direction has potential, Bel Amie too. TreyC had a good vocal and so did Rebecca…

  37. S October 11, 2010

    Cher, Matt, Aiden and Treyc….. most likely to have a music career when the show ends. As long as they stay I don’t care!!! 🙂

  38. Philly October 11, 2010

    How many of you who are complaining that The X Factor sucks actually watched Must Be The Music?

    With REAL bands who write their own music??

  39. who? October 13, 2010

    I’m going to jump on the bandwagon and say that Cher’s performance was asstastic. Eventually people are going to get tired of the loud background singers, her indistinct warbling, and the rapping that makes Vanilla Ice look like JayZ. She’s wack and once again people are trying to package all things urban into a nice (not so nice looking) suburban package and act like it’s something new or edgy. I want to see her in front of a microphone, no dancing, no rapping and just singing. She will be more exposed than she was on Saturday. I hope that Cheryl gives Rebecca better material that showcases her talent and an outfit that showcases her beauty. I also love the way they attempted to ignore the chorus of boos that rang out every time Cher and Katie’s names were mentioned.

  40. anisah khanum October 29, 2010

    i love it its great asspecialy one direction and rebbeca and also cher

  41. proudof1d July 4, 2012

    I’m reading some of these comments and laughing so hard because 1D is one of the most popular boybands in the world and not one of you people gave them two seconds of your time. i remember watching them and thinking they were the best. almost everything you guys said was wrong and now just realize how far theyve come :))
