Perhaps they tell you to use your postcode, and Accy has a Blackburn one.

After all Laura is from Atherton, which has a BL postcode, and she says she's from Bolton.

Michelle 'Mick' McManus was from Baillieston, which has a Glasgow code, and she was shown as representing that city.

I think the matter is settled.

The programme is sponsored by the Post Office.

Nah, Atherton's M46 (it was one of "my" areas when I was working). It's nearer Leigh than Bolton too.

It's obvious, the producers go for place-names that they know how to spell. This is why you don't get many Welsh people on and, if you do, they all come from Cardiff.

She might still be in if she'd have used her Manchester postcode.

Wonder what they'd do if someone came from Oswaldtwistle.

They'd never let them past the first audition.

Daniel, well bless, got to love a tryer haven't you.

Diana, the only one who's different.

Eoghan, too soppy.

Alexandra, belted brilliantly but I don't think another Leona Lewis is what we want.

Ruth, too much, she scares me.

So finally Rachel gets an excuse to sing her Amy Winehouse song and predictably it was an ok impersonation. She's a one trick pony - time to go love.

Nice to see Accy on national television tonight, on Diana's VT of her visit home, even if they did say it was Blackburn.

Loved her song choice, one of my favourites, and I think her vunerability, and the fact she isn't yet A1, added to to it's beauty.

As for the rest....

Eggnog, didn't like it. His voice is really thin, which is what his hair needs, a good thinning.

Alexandra, was good, but she never gives me goose bumps. Not someone I feel connected to.

JLS, ok-ish, but agree it wasn't very hip.

Ruth, someone I usually love, but didn't tonight. Bad choice of song, didn't suit her at all.

Rachel was good. Love her voice when she sings like that. Would pay to see her sing the songs of Billie Holiday, Etta James etc. Stick with what your good at.

Daniel. Would think he was good if he was singing in the Queen Vic. Would think he was dire if I'd paid to see him at the Albert Hall.

Gayle · 15-11-2008, 21:07

Oh, i forgot about JLS - well i think that shows what i think about them

How can you forget about them?

You can have them delivered to your home in time for Christmas, for only three, nine, nine! Yes, only £399!

Oh hang on, that's DFS.

Always reminds me of that stuff from JML!

Lilly · 15-11-2008, 22:02

Yaaaaay! We're finally going to see the back of one of them in a minute.

Daniel and Rachel in the bottom two.

Daniel just had to mention one more time that he will be singing for his kids and family.

Lilly · 15-11-2008, 22:13

........and he's finally gone!

The sob story Daniel doesn't want you to hear: X Factor's widower doesn't mention his other women... or love children | Mail Online

It was an eleven year old, who told me about this story.

West Ender · 15-11-2008, 22:26

Well, Amen to the end of Dreary Daniel, no more Dead Wives Club. I don't like Rachel but, I will concede, she was better tonight.

Sorry if I upset anyone in Accrington but Diana should go next. I am sick of hearing her hiccupping, a gimmick she obviously thinks may get her somewhere but it just grates on me.

Ruth - not so good tonight and JLS were pretty average as was Alexandra. Oggin looks favourite - he certainly is with our Laura (it's real puppy love) - he has the "cute" factor.

Oh what the hell. I don't really give a damn, it's all crap when you get down to it.

I'm not upset, I'm not from Accy.

You upset me earlier.

Besides people from Oswaldtwistle probably wouldn't get past the first auditions, as they tend to be more classically minded in here in Gobbinland, as witnessed by opera star John Tomlinson, and Sir Harrison Birtwistle, who had to leave his birthplace because there were too many 'wistles' for him to be taken seriously.
