Craig

Last night's Chilli was fabulouso.
Wish I could say the same for the Doh! Factor.
Little Bully Misha dared to copy Tina in an attempt to win friends. Her rendition of Proud Mary, which is one of my all-time favourites, had me growling...Only one Diva can blast that one out.... The faker even attempted a not-so-much slap look. Her wig was a giant bubble of black froth which sat uneasily on her bonce.
I wish I could like the girl because she does have star quality but since finding out she's catty and a bully I've had it in for her. Endured my share of bullying at school and once a bully always a B.

Johnny Robinson's performance was not his strongest but I still think he'll go through to next week. Likewise The Risk.
Also loved Craig Colton. A big boy with voice to match. Cheeky and with enough charm to win votes. And that's what counts. I bet he was a beautiful baby...
The Devil performed again in the form of Ms Brucknell. Said it before and will say it again...there is something of the underworld about her. Her eyes and brows are just too blazingly evil to even glance at.
A fake with mastery- of -the- world on her to-do list.
Who else did I suffer?
The girl group. Who are, according to the judges, just ordinary gels like what I am. They even live in ordinary places like you do, places like Essex and up North and places in between. One of them has a size issue.
Boring.

I will watch the result show tonight despite my protestations......Because I love show biz..even in it's sickliest form:)

Being cooked today..
Roast Chicken veggies and Yorkshire pudlets
There'll be no dessert though...

I need to rest the inner walls of my tummy after last night's Strawberry Mouse...A more wickedly decandent afters I don't believe I've had. Pure fat and sugar..everything a growing girl needs and this girl will grow if she carries on like this:)
No seriously though, the Mousse was so light and beautiful it could have been brought down from on high...Plump, full and with a rosy hue and serving it with crunchy oat biscuits was inspired...
I'm aching to make more.

Other cooking to do soon...Minestrone soup (so thick I can stand a wooden spoon up in it) said my dad. I know Minestrone should be thin but I don't do thin.
I like thick. In everything. Bread. Cake wedges. Biscuits. Dumplings and people.

And on that incendiary note I'll say fare thee well...:)

Tonight's X Factor

Shiny Happy Person

Johnny Robinson

l to r...Janet, Sophie, Kelly Rowland (judge) Amelia, Misha

Misha...For someone so young...so cool. The whole 5ft 1 thing making the Diva-in-waiting even more alluring. A good performance from the teenager but I'd like a little less worldliness and a lot more teeth. Out of 10? 7

Johnny Robinson....45 year old living in a bedsitter. So camp, so utterly likeable and with a greatish voice. Camp? Oh yes that's why I giggle with him. Johnny is a 'performer' of the highest pinkest order but without the sound of clicking fingers which say "Aren't I wonderful?"... so will probably be knocked out fairly soon.
Unlike....

Kitty. Reputedly 26. Who has the strangest face I've seen in a very long time. She looks like a drag act...Anyway tonight she poked the air with her purple talons whilst looking at the ceiling with overly made up, sequinned, quite rotten eyes. You either love her ways or loathe them, I loathe them. As far as her voice goes, yes she warbles well but there's little soul, more just muscle and paint. I expect she'll go a long way, not because she's the best singer but because she's the type of act shows like this pray for, indeed bank on, she's a 'character'....

Sorry everyone I can't remember the names of any of the others, my evening you see was interrupted. But the girl group from Essex, Two Shoes or sumfink were so wonderfully bad they'll be opening supermarkets for the next five years. Tanned to death and lovers of cuisine these two babes would raise a laugh at Stag Do's. Bless.
Someone else who caught my eye was a youngish lad from Liverpool, a hairdresser by trade, who did a fab turn reminiscent of a young Sammy Davis Jnr. Glossy smile, smooth and light on his feet. I liked him.
The last group to perform, 4 boys, with one wearing braces. Yum. They were the slickest of the groups, very together which in itself is not remarkable but when you consider it was the their first time performing together..they gave an incredible performance. They'll go far. What WAS their name. Can't check ITV.com because it's down.
The little Irish girl, Janet Devlin looks even more elfin like now the telly people have got their hands on her. She's gone from honey blonde to auburn sunset and in so doing has upped her rating in my book. A pretty thing with oodles of talent but defo not my cup of teao. I prefer....
Sophie Habibas, pub worker who delivered her song sitting on top of a piano. No arm waving or excessive cleavage just mesmerizing vocals from a very beautiful girl.
Frankie Cocozza. The 21st century's Artful Dodger. Too flippy floppy for me, too lopsided a performance, still he's not out for the old girls vote it's the teenyboppers (!) he's opening to ensnare. A huge amount of glossy brown hair making him look like a bloody girl. Voice good, quirky and recordable. A money maker if ever I saw one.
Amelia Lilly. 16 going on 45. Took on a Michael Jackson song..'Beat It'. (I think) Way too huge for her but she rocked it. An interesting face, flattish but with loads of character, a woman in the making...I liked her and I'd like to see her beat up Kitty in the later rounds. Cross fingers darling.
JonJo the soldier. Bless. Lots of sexy looks to camera, winks being obviously big in the army. An incredibly hot suit in mauve, a bit shiny but that was ok because he could carry it. Great fit bod. But....Too nice and normal for The X Factor asylum.

Others were groups, a big girl with an even bigger voice, some other fellas and someone else. All in all a very fair Live edition of this moreish addictive programme.
Judges were good especially Mr Barlow. I feel Ms Rowland is overdoing the American thing, when unsure what to say just fill the air with inane Americanisms...Honey...

Anchor man Dermot twirled as usual so for a couple of hours I was smiling...

Tomorrow night it's results night where those heartless judges have to kick off one of their very own acts. Should be worth a toffee or two;)

Now I must tip toe to bed with my olde walkman...
