Are Hope,the girl group on x-factor,the worst girl group in the world ever.....?
I think they are just abysmal,and who watches this tripe on tv? :rant:

Who watches this tripe??? well you or you wouldnt be talking about it i guess???

But more on subject - they're not great - bit of time and money they'll probably identicate girls aloud/girl band material

With you on that.

Glorified karaoke.

Worst act int competition IMO.

All the acts on X-Factor are pretty awful this year.

About time it was axed really.

who went out of the competition last night?

Andy left! (Thank gawd!!)

Their rubbish.

Andy left! (Thank gawd!!)

yes i agree he was not vocally strong enough

Not as bad as Same Difference!

well said fellow blade and put some quality tv programme on in its place

I've seen bits of it; Simon Cowell is always harping on about how good they are. I have not yet heard them sing anything which shows they have good voices, it just seems like an excuse for them to wear skimpy clothes, and I think that is the real reason Simon likes them.

Isn't it wierd how people's views differ when it comes to music? I think Hope have actually been fairly good so far (apart from the disaster that was Hanky Panky). And as for Same Difference - in my opinion they are right alongside Rhiddian in terms of how good their vocals are. They are always spot on in tune and their harmonies are excellent. Yes, they may be kitch and some people may not like them, but you cannot fault them musically (in my opinion of course!).

I can't believe that Louis Walsh actually said they wouldn't win it as they are "too happy". What a very sad reflection on society that is?

i only watched xfactor once, and that was last saturday, at a mates. I thought they were awful. nobody realy stood out to me as an obvious winner

i dont think they are too bad, but that same difference are truly awful...:gag:

It all went downhill, as usual, after the dorks were voted out. It's not worth watching after that.

Errrrr, Rhydian is awesome.

Why do girl bands have to prance around wearing next to nothing. Let's see Hope smartly dressed in suits, sat still and really showing off their vocal abilities (if they have any!). I'm sure this way they'd get a lot more female supporters as Louis pointed out they need to get girls on their side.

Nikki to win though.

Aside from Girls Aloud, I'd have to say that these were the worst girl band ever:

Oh hang on, what about Daphne and Celeste?

It all went downhill, as usual, after the dorks were voted out. It's not worth watching after that.

I quite agree, even though the dorks are hand picked, it's good to see that there are some people worse than me. As for the girl band, you have to consider that Simon Cowell decides who goes through and who goes out. The public are only there to provide the income. So whether they're crap or not is irrelevant until the final. Mr Cowell decides who will make the most interesting programme, just the same as he has this pretend running verbal battle with Walsh and Mrs Ozzy. It's all good telly, in his opinion.

I'm so, so pleased to say that I've never even heard of them.

Censor **** out of your own lives people, you can do it.

There just like the rest of the reality tv rubbish, even if they win no one will remember who they are in 5 years. Like that David Sneddon or whatever he was called. In my opinion the only good artists to have come out of such programmes are Lemar, Kelly Clarkson and Will Young. I say they are good though this doesn't mean I like them these are just the ones that in my opinion have a fair amount of talent.
In a country such of ours it can't be expected that X Factor can do a series every year and find an amazing undiscovered talent they would have come forward before. This should be the last year, for at least 5 years or just don't bring it back at all.

And as for Same Difference - in my opinion they are right alongside Rhiddian in terms of how good their vocals are. They are always spot on in tune and their harmonies are excellent. Yes, they may be kitch and some people may not like them, but you cannot fault them musically (in my opinion of course!).

I can't believe that Louis Walsh actually said they wouldn't win it as they are "too happy". What a very sad reflection on society that is?

I think I block out the voices just because of how horrendous they are to watch.

They remind me of that episode of Extras where Maggie gets dragged to this 30 year old girl's birthday party who starts doing this inappropriate, creepy dance routine with her Dad.

Im forced to watch it most weeks and i don't think anybody stands out at all, i think there all pretty crap. As for Same Difference, they do look like to Steps rejects. I suppose it s down to the market your targeting, the under 10's probably love them.

Of course they're not.

Remember Shampoo? Atomic Kitten? B*Witched? Maybe remove the bloke and you've got The Corrs. How utterly horrendous.

shampoo?! brilliant!! i had their album. i was 12. it was brilliant!

It's their "dancing" that's gets me - it's so terrible I can barely watch.

B*Witched were great, especially that chick with the black curly hair! :love:

oops looks like im in the minority but i dont actually mind HOPE

You're spot Pinnacle! My daughter's 10 and she loves same difference! She says they remind her of that High school musical crap! (well, she didn't say crap...i did:D).

They should be re-named 'no hope' :rant:

I don't think the standard is as good this year, although I do like Beverley. I can't for the life of me understand how Same Difference are still in, they make my skin crawl, although I have to grudgingly admit they can sing & they are always very well rehearsed. Rhydian is unusual, I hated him to begin with, but am warming to him now.
Not that I watch X Factor you understand.

Yes, Hope are one of the lamest girl groups I have ever seen. They're all weird / ugly (which is how 99% of girl-groups sell records) - there's a huge great beefy one who looks like a bloke in drag and s/he stands in the middle of the others like a heffer at a children’s party. There's one who looks like she's been designed by a child on a computer.
absolutely none of them can sing very well (certainly nothing you couldn't hear in a karaoke bar every Saturday night).

They're dreadful. The best bit is that they're SO annoying, everyone actually ENJOYS disliking them!

If X-Factor is the best the UK has to offer these days... pop music has officially died!

oops, i accidenally watched it last night, and i think they were the ones with the "camels hooves" on show. Even Sarah Cox mentioned it on her show this afternoon! Frightfull.

Hope began as individuals though, and they didnt get through. All of a sudden they become a girl band and oh look, Cowells interested again. Wonder why..?:P

If you had seen the Spice Girls live (we saw them at Sheff Arena yrs ago) then you would agree they are the worst girl band ever.... could not sing a note in tune....

oops looks like im in the minority but i dont actually mind HOPE

Am I also in the minority, as I think they are very good.

i only watched xfactor once, and that was last saturday, at a mates. I thought they were awful. nobody realy stood out to me as an obvious winner



What not even Rhydian ? He stands out a country mile

I like them. They are pretty fit, except the lanky one, who's a little beefy for my tastes.

What not even Rhydian ? He stands out a country mile

hmmm, maybe i wasnt concentrating, wine WAS involved

hmmm, maybe i wasnt concentrating, wine WAS involved



FG, I think he is going to be a big star,just can't understand why it takes a contest like X factor to have discovered him.

:o how could you say that! Spice Girls were my childhood :love:

Not wanting to distract from the OP, but if the Spice Girls had been on X Factor, we'd probably never have heard of em. Only 2 out of the 5 can sing, or harmonise, and on their UK tour they just sang along to their own records. Their recent TV appearance consisted of 2 songs and they mimed to both of them. Con artists I M H O.

I can't believe that other lass went over this group.

I've seen bits of it; Simon Cowell is always harping on about how good they are. I have not yet heard them sing anything which shows they have good voices, it just seems like an excuse for them to wear skimpy clothes, and I think that is the real reason Simon likes them.

And you're problem with them wearing skimpy clothes is.........?

Joking apart, what a complete bunch of mingers they are. If you saw any of them stood by the dancefloor 'late on' in a club, then any self-respecting bloke would have to reconsider the adage:- "Quarter to two, owt will do."

The curse of Hope strikes again :help:

*tries not to yell FIX!!!* :suspect:

Sharon produces deadlock, phone votes mean Hope stay and Beverly goes, honestly - there's five of them :roll:

Hope:nono:...a poor mans Girls Aloud,

Beverley should have stayed, was shocked she was bottom:shocked:

No way should Beverley have been voted off.She is a far better singer than any of the members of Hope:loopy:

Totally agree with you - guess the majority of voters are at the younger end of the population. The only good thing about Hope is that girl (can't remember her name) who sang lead vocals last night - think she's only 14.

Forgive my cynicism, and not seen it, but aren't Hope, Simon Cowell's band ? And you think that it actually went to a viewers' vote count. And doesn't he also mentor that cheesey bro/sister act. If they weren't his he would have slated them uphill and down dale and they would be long gone.
S.C. decides who goes and who stays, despite what you may see on the telly.

Maybe it is the younger voters that are keeping them on.I also think the 14 year old "lead" singer should reapply when she is about 20 when her voice has developed a bit more.

i too cant believe that Beverley was voted out instead of Hope.
i dont dislike Hope but Beverley was one of my faves to win...im gutted..:(
i was cring like a loon too, i feel sorry for them when the have to go home.

hope are diabolical bunch of howling cats
the black one looks like a chimp in drag

The song Hope chose last night was just plain odd! Didn't exactly make them seem like a group at all!!
I wanted the brother/sister act to go...don't mind them as much any more...but really do think they be best of in a disney film or the like!! Rhydian to win :P

Think you're dead right about her

Get out of the wrong side of the bed that morning did you?

They are mingers.

Not singers.

And thankfully are on their way home.

Apparently they are sticking together-god help us (will give them till christamas good bye)
