    I'll be posting images on the Live Blog, but if you would like a sneak peek of tonight's show then check out my photo album.

    SHOW STARTS:
     
    The judges are all over the place tonight auditioning the talented and terrible from Cardiff to Manchester. Who will be your fave and who will be foul?

    First up is Allan Busby and I have to say bless him...
    He's awful with a capital 'A' but the crowd really get behind him. He performs When The Going Gets Tough by Billy Ocean and although Dannii says he looks like he's being electricuted and Simon says "never in a million years" the audience cheer and even sing along with him as a prompt when he forgets the words.
     
    Alan blames the choice of song. Mmmm...
    What did you think?

    Two Gorgeous for Words did nothing for me.
    (Well they made me laugh when they fell over during their intro, but I mean the singing)
     

    Simon cuts them off early and says "Everything was wrong".
    I have to agree, they didn't look like a group, they weren't together and come on, they fell over!
     
     
    Ashanti Webb performs I'm Going Down and I have to agree with Simon, the judges gush about it but I wasn't jumping out of my chair. Good but not great - I'm sure she'll have a point to prove at Boot Camp and she'll nail it.
     
    Daniel Williams sings Let It Be and Louis thought he was "great". Danni and Chery; give him a yes but Simon questions what sort of record he could release. Louis suggests a 'middle of the road' and Simon nods - "A Michael Ball... Mmmm..."
     


    Simon pauses and then smiles, "Daniel you got four yeses!"
    (Needless to say he's chuffed to bits)
     
    WOW - Lucy Jones just blew me away! She sang I Will Always Love You and before she performed Simon asked if she "was sure" she wanted to sing "that song". He knows how difficult the song is and it can literally make or break you.
     
    Her voice is pure... sure, she quivered here and there but I actually liked that. It shows that she has something to work on, I can't stand it when they're 'perfect'.
     
    I mean come on, other wise she'd be off to ruddy America like the others and we'd never see her again - Plus she'd never win (LOL!) Can you say Subo?
     
     
    Lucy bursts into tears at the audience reaction...

    Cheryl loves the vunerability in Lucy's voice, "that shows me you don't know how amazing you are". Louis loved her voice, "you tick all of the boxes" and Simon says, "you're the reason we come to Wales. You didn't copy Whitney you sang it your way and you're really likeable. I think you're really good".
     
    Lucy is overwhelmed and Cheryl adds that "she's one to watch".

    What is this guy all about?
     

    He is singing about Beef and Onion crisps and you can understand why the judges get annoyed - He's just wasting their time and having a laugh. It must get frustrating when you've heard it all.

    Now he's singing his next song. It's about Llamas...

    I'm drawing a line under him.
    ___________________________________________________________
     
    Mmmm...
    Now you know when you get the feeling that someone's gonna be really good? They're building Lloyd Daniels up and I'm having palpitations...
     
    He's got the look but has he got the voice?

    He starts to sing but the judges are wincing (and even his parents look sheepish). Surprisingly Cheryl stops him and asks for him to start again. She tells Simon, "I want to hear him sing again, he couldn't get his words out and I think he could be really good - That was awful".
     
     
    Simon asks Lloyd to sing another song and his Dad leaps for joy backstage when Lloyd nails it.
     
    Cheryl says, "You're the first person I can say this to, I think you've got the X Factor".

    Do you agree?

    OMG! On a scale of one to ten, how cute are Kirsty and Jack!
     
    Three days before the audition 'Combined Effort' split after being engaged. Kirsty explains, "we were best friends before we were engaged though and that won't change. We'll continue to sing together." Simon commends them on their dedication and positivity. "It's a good attitude to have".

     
    They sing Nothing gonna Stop Us Now by Starship and although it's stinks to high heaven, the pair are obviously still smitten.
    So much so that when they're hand in hand, Jack breaks down.
     
     
    Cheryl is teary as the pair become more and more emotional and she tells Jack she thinks Kirsty is still in love with him.. He admits, "I'm still in love with her".
     
    All of the judges agree that the performance was pants, but Simon (the old softy) suggests Jack take the opportunity to ask for another chance.
     
    Jack nods, "Will you give us another go? I love you with all my heart..." After a pregnant pause that could have given birth to twins, Kirsty agrees and they share a huge hug.

    All together now - Arrrr.....
     
     
    Has Jade Fubara bitten off more than she can chew?
    She's singing I'm Telling You and Simon quips, "are you really? That's a tough song!"
     
    She makes it her own, she takes her time and she's phenomenal but there are a few smirks, she knows she's good.

    Cheryl is overjoyed, "17 years old - that is what you call raw amazing talent". All of the judges give resounding yeses and Simon adds, "I predict good things for you Jade". He keeps a little back though... As she runs off stage to her family he turns to the other judges, "Unbelievable!"
     
    What a fantastic way to sign off.
    Imagine Jade after styling with a vocal coach and reheasals - WOW!
     
    But how would she fair against the likes of The Afro?
     
    Who has been your favourite act so far?

    Not only does Lucy have a sweet and 'pretty' voice (she reminded me a little of the late, wonderful Karen Carpenter) she is also very nice to look at :-))

    Given the plethora of talented solo female singers populating the charts these days I would question whether Lucy has enough in her arsenal to challenge the more established artists? If she makes it through boot camp (notoriously hard on 'middling' singers) I hope whoever mentors her will challenge her to explore the undoubted talent she possesses. She has the potential to be very good. However, there are already a couple of acts who could storm the show and leave her in their wake....

    thought too much time was spent on week 2 showing the really bad singers, there is surely enough talent going about without having to give prime time to the non-singers. it's meant to be a talent show, so let us see the talent and stop making a fool of people who obviously can't sing.

    Am I the only person not bowled over by Lucie? She was good but no way as good as Jade. Now that is singing from deep within the soul! I actually know what getting goosebumps are now. Her voice made me feel emotional. I predict this year is gunna be a bumper year of talent.

    Aint bothered watching this year yet and doubt whether I will. Will listen to the radio probably to find out who won on Dec' 25th. After all; that's the only reason they make this program anyway. One HUGE advert for making money. Yawn.

    Stefwrote:
    I think last nights show wasn't that good... Lucy had a nice gentle voice and will be better with some more confidence... Danyl and Afro are my favourites because they really got the crowd going (Although I think Afro's choice of song really helped - Hope he can do other genres when I can already see Danyl can mix it up). I think the 3 girls who sang their own version of Toxic were great too... but not hearing much from the groups this year though... Nobody made me get goosebumps last night to put it the best way. Stacey on the first show was good too. I hope next week we will see some more true talent rather than the bad singers (granted its funny but we don't get to see enough good acts).
    No name I hope my grammar is good enough for you but when doing a blog you do have to write things quickly in order to give information on the whole show. Most people who comment on this blog are teenagers who are used to abbreviations anyway - relax and just enjoy the show!

    I decided to analyse this years show:
    It goes on for about 46 minutes, (minus adverts, people jumping in the air, Simon Cowell imparting 'impotant' advice, and contestants using dead relatives to garner the sympathy vote.)
    We see about 14 people, half for about ten seconds (the deluded and probably lonely and unhappy people who are laughed at) and half for between one and two minutes.
    So, in summary we have a 46 minute talent show with just ten minutes of 'talent'.
    Time to bin this show, maybe?

    Pamelawrote:
    I absolutely love this girl. She has a fantastic voice and managed the song beautifully. I cried when she was singing which others most likely did as well. IU wish her all the best on the X-factor. You definately get my vote.

    Simonwrote:
    The contestants were a mixture of good and bad - as usual - as were the judges' 'insights'. Yet again, Simon is ACTUALLY the one most motivated by public opinion (though he'd have us think otherwise), and dissappointingly, Cheryl continues this year to be more prominent than Danni - the work of both the cameraman and editors, no doubt on the producers' instructions. Last year the whole thing almost devolved into adult bullying of Danni. Do I want to watch a repeat performance? It all hinges on Simon, who I bet was not popular at school...

    Lucy has a great voice and will go on to be in the final. This young lady has such a great voice and I think that Wales has found its first winner for the XFactor. Good luck girl and work hard. Listening to you is the reason I watch the Xfactor and you will have my votes all the way through the programe.
