Talk:The X Factor (British TV series) series 5

"Visits to judges' houses" round

The article says:

As in previous years, the judges welcomed the 6 acts from their selected category to their 'luxurious home'...

I could be wrong about this, but I don't recall it being claimed in the shows that the places they visited were actually the judges' homes. Have they dropped that pretence now that the cat's out of the bag? (Like we all didn't guess anyway....!)

Austin Drage

Austin Drage is openly gay. Many times this has been admitted. Now as a contestant on the X-Factor everything to do with Austin being gay has been removed from wikipedia. I would like to know why as being gay is not a crime. Do ITV bosses have control of Austin's wikipedia entry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nsau89 (talk • contribs) 18:28, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Find a reliable source and I'll add it in. Dalejenkins | 19:35, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

On a different subject, Austin had a seprate Wikipedia page, what happened to it? When I type Austin Drage it just redirects here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.1.77 (talk) 08:27, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

He's still a no-one. Maybe if he wins he'll get his own page. 81.158.104.179 (talk) 19:23, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Surnames

I don't see the point of calling them by their surnames - they're not even celebrities yet, and it does sound a bit cruel...First name terms in my opinion is better 217.43.1.77 (talk) 21:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

It says their Surname on the Show. So it should be kept. 82.40.85.35 (talk) 02:16, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

No, I don't think you get what I meant, you said that it displays their full name. I'm talking about people calling them by their surname only. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.1.77 (talk) 13:09, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

The Song Hero

The song Hero on the third show did not appear to be sung live. 84.70.37.61 (talk) 21:30, 25 October 2008 (UTC)kabbes

• It certainly didn't look live to me. I'm not convinced that Girls Aloud sang all of their song live on last week's show either. I think that some of the lead vocals were live, but the backing appeared to be mimed. Another Matt (talk) 03:53, 26 October 2008 (UTC).

table

shouldn't we, in deadlock, put the percentage that the losing act got of the vote? At the moment, it seems incomplete. User:ATMarsden/Templates/Sign/Signature 21:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Song/album titles

Plase would someone make sure that the article adheres to Wikipedia's Manual of Style, with particular reference to titles of songs/albums? I would do it myself, however I often find myself away from a computer for weeks at a time.

• Song titles/singles need to be put in double quotation marks - eg. "Don't Stop Me Now".
  
• Album titles need to go it italics - eg. Spirit

Guest Appearances

Whoever added the guests for weeks 5,6,7,etc, how do you know who the guests are and what songs they're singing? I dont remember seeing it on the official site or anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.4.152 (talk) 16:49, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I did not add them but they are all correct. (The people coming, the week or theme maybe wrong)
