Ratings
I think that a table is needed, there are many episodes left this series, live performances and results. It will end up looking messy, a table would be much easier to read. 81.96.131.189 (talk) 23:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Girlband
I'm pretty sure Phoebe Lau from this band is older than 17. 18 or 19, I believe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.145.150 (talk) 18:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Sing-off and Songs
The acts in the sing off should be noted in addition to the eliminated act. Also I guess the second songs should be added to the data per show as they are different to the songs that are performed in the first show. Not going to add them in because I don't know what format people want to use. I believe the two songs were "thats what friends are for" and "wonderwall" in case anyone forgets.

- Yeah, I tried to add them in as well, but apparently there's someone who doesn't want them. Can we please come to a compromise? 81.102.178.53 (talk) 12:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think it was better when there where two tables, but someone removed one and the information to the other table, which looks messy.81.96.131.189 (talk) 14:28, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yep that's what I expected to be honest. Btw. is there any merit to adding links pointing towards the performances? Nice work overall so far. SWatsi (talk) 22:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

"Visits to judges' houses" round
The article says:
- As in previous years, the judges welcomed the 6 acts from their selected category to their '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)
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)
