Back after popular demand, we’re bringing you the best of the X Factor Saturday night tweets.
It’s a fact of modern society that television is no longer just a moment to be shared with friends, flatmates and family – we now have a new internet friend base – Facebook and Twitter. There’s a certain amount of fun in reading people’s tweets whilst you watch ‘Event Telly’.
I follow a lot of funny, funny people who live tweet X Factor so I present to you, with pleasure, the best of Saturday night’s tweets!

IT’S TIME. TO FACE. THE FACT THAT. TULISA TOOK. A RISK. WITH. THE RISK. AND SHE. WONT. SHUT UP. ABOUT. IT #xfactor
Kelly is ill tonight so Alexandra Burke will be taking her place as a judge. Walking out to the Ghostbusters theme, both Alexandra and Tulisa look fabulous; Tulisa’s chosen to appear as a cat!

Louis to Alexandra Burke: “You remind me of a young Kelly Rowland.” #XFactor

Tulisa has raised her game on the outfit front. WOW!!!! Alexandra looks stunning too. #xfactor

Seriously though, if someone sings ‘Monster Mash’ tonight they win everything for me #xfactor
Ashley from The Risk has left. Ashford has come in to take their place.

I hope we get a new member of The Whisk every week, like Menudo on fast-forward #xfactor
The Risk are singing ‘Thriller’ by Michael Jackson. Badly. I don’t rate their performance very much. And they haven’t dressed up. But what do the tweeters make of it?

This is certainly making me want to stalk through the night and claw my way *into* a grave #xfactor

I don’t know. It’s just not the same without thingy. #xfactor #therisk
mrchrisaddison Chris Addison
We’re five minutes behind. Thank God Tulisa won that coin toss with Louis for the catsuit. #xfactor
MIGmanagement BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT
it’s clear the judges can’t hear what we hear at home. @danwootton #frightnight
Louis and Alexandra are very impressed with The Risk. Tulisa is impressed at how The Risk have pulled together despite the loss of Ashley.
Daily Mail is ‘exclusively’ reporting that Kelly Rowland is missing tonight’s show due to a ‘bust up’ with Tulisa. She will miss both shows. Kelly is currently in LA after the argument. It’s thought that their argument was about Misha B and her alleged bullying on the show.
Jonny’s up next. He looks very classy and, finally, he seems to be singing ‘straight’ – no pun intended! He’s actually a great singer, but I don’t like his voice. Does that make any sense?
Tulisa is impressed – she feels that the ballad that Jonny sang was representative of his skill at singing. Alexandra feels that the song choice (which I don’t recognise) was excellent. Have to agree.
Chris_Billett Christopher Billett
I think Jonny has a really lovely voice. That was great. Still wasn’t a “ballid” though. #XFactor.

Sorry Gary, he IS a novelty act, Frank Spencer impersonator #xfactor
Joey7Barton Joseph Barton
1st break of #xfactor and am praying for Kelly, to be healthy……#burkeisannoying
I’m disappointed that the judges and the contestants haven’t bothered to dress up much, so far. I’m not the only one:
FreshPlastic Anthony
#xfactor should hire, as set decorator, the person responsible for the Halloween aisle at my local Sainsburys. Seriously.
Sophie Habibis has made more of an effort with her costume, but she’s singing ‘Bang Bang’ by Nancy Sinatra. Barlow doesn’t rate her song choice but Alexandra is ‘keeping it real’ by saying that Sophie is a beautiful performer and a ‘lovely, lovely girl’. So what? She’s a lovely girl, but that was dull. Louis doesn’t think she’s a pop star. But what does he know?
couchpotatoadam Adam Postans
Bang bang. Bye, love. #Xfactor
Eamonn_Forde Eamonn Forde
Loving her “spider web” neck tattoo. It’s so “prison chic” #XFactor
Marcus Collins is up now – can he top last week’s performance? He’s wearing makeup! Tulisa’s taken her ‘ears’ off. Why? Marcus is singing ‘Superstitious’ mashed up with INXS ‘I need you tonight’. Excellent stuff – this boy might be my new favourite.
TRJeffries Tim Jeffries
Fair point RT @orbyn Has anyone anywhere – on X Factor or *anywhere* – noticed that it’s not actually Halloween?
pauljchambers Paul Chambers
Frankie is still going to try and out-guyliner Marcus #xfactor

You worked it! You owned it! You brought it! You delivered! You’re an #xfactor cliche!
tvcritics Daithi
The only way they’ll increase ratings at this stage is to get Kitty to do all the performances #xfactor
Have to agree about the ratings – this episode of the X Factor, despite its theme, is quite dull. The amount of tweets is also low – are people tiring of the format of talent shows? We’ll only find out when Britain’s Got Talent is back…
Misha’s up now – I’m excited to see how they make her scarier. Singing ‘Tainted Love’, she looks, as the kids say, ‘Fierce’.
mrchrisaddison Chris Addison
“For me there’s something missing – I don’t know what it is.” Is it, oh I don’t know, the #xfactor, Louis?
TyronWilson Tyron Wilson
Misha looks like a POKEMON. An INTENSELY FABULOUS POKEMON. #xfactor
danwootton Dan Wootton
I think Misha B was incredible tonight. Wow! A million times better than anything Cher Lloyd ever did. #xfactor
boydhilton boydhilton
What’s the technical difference between “smashing it” and “nailing it”? #XFactor
Chris_Billett Christopher Billett
This time last year I was praying for Wagner to do Monster Mash. This year? Please let it be Kitty. #XFactor.
Now it’s Janet – how will she improve on her scary hair last week? I predict Janet will have gone ‘full Halloween’ in terms of costume. Janet’s incredibly affected in her singing, but I still like the little mite.
Singing a very haunting version of The Police’s ‘Every Breath You Take’ – taking its stalkerish tendencies to heart, Janet’s amazing. She’s dropped some of the squeaks, which sound better. Incredible.

Kitty should emerge from a well, then crawl out of a telly before launching into a dubstep Bela Lugosi’s Dead #xfactor
Louis keeps badly impersonating Kelly. It’s awful.
pauljchambers Paul Chambers
Can someone not stop Louis doing that, please? People have thrown shoes at world leaders for less #xfactor
TRJeffries Tim Jeffries
Thought ‘how is Every Breath.. scary?’, then realised it has ‘you belong to me’ and ‘I’ll be watching you’. New spin on it, really. #xfactor
FreshPlastic Anthony
Someone needs to ask Santa for a GHD for Xmas #xfactor
Now it’s Frankie. I expect Twitter to explode with hatred. I think Frankie is hated more than Kitty now. He’s singing The Clash – ‘Should I stay or I go?’. I think the audience knows the answer to that one.
suttonnick Nick Sutton
Is part of the problem this year that none of the judges are honest? #xfactor
mrchrisaddison Chris Addison
Yes, Tulisa. He’s rebellious and wild like a Grange Hill character in the late 70s. #xfactor
I have to admit, Kitty is growing on me, as an artist. I still don’t like her very much but she has an incredible voice and has amazing stage presence. She might be suffering with some kind of disorder though – she seems to forget her skirt every day. Kitty is singing ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics.
AngryBritain AngryBritain.com
‘Fasten your seatbelts, it’s Kitty’ ‘And it’s going to be a car crash’ #xfactor

If there was any doubt about Louis, just rewind to him screaming “cabaret”. #xfactor
heatworld heat & heatworld
Did she just say “OK.com”? Oh. My. Dayz. #xfactor
jakepjohnson Jake Johnson
1999 just called for Alexandra. They wanted their “.com” putdown back… @xfactor
digitalspy Digital Spy
Alexandra is so profound: “You have a voice!” #xfactor
chavvesty Sarah
if kitty leaves before frankie does i’m fleeing to LA and NOT COMING BACK. alexandra burke will tweet on my behalf.
Little Mix are next. They had to change their name based the pressure from people who were upset they were stealing the name from a children’s charity.
robbiereviews Robbie Collin
FINALLY worked out who the Rhythmix/Little Mix girls remind me of. It’s the ‘fright face’ masks from Ghost Castle: twitpic.com/77rf4l
Eamonn_Forde Eamonn Forde
“I couldn’t pick a winner this year.” You said it, Gary #XFactor
Eamonn_Forde Eamonn Forde
“You’ve done something no one has ever done before” – yes, like changed your name and cried. #XFactor
No more tweets about Little Mix. They’re just so dull (the tweets. And the band).
Closing the show, it’s Craig now. He looks good in a Paddington Bear jacket. Singing Adele’s ‘Set Fire to the Rain’.
mrchrisaddison Chris Addison
I love Craig. Every performance is like the last scene of a feelgood movie about being yourself. #xfactor
caitlinmoran Caitlin Moran
Are duffel coats now scary? #witherhalloweentheme
JulianRWPower Julian Power
Was Craig’s Halloween theme “Ricky Gervais”? #XFactor
And.. that’s IT!
My pick of the week – Misha B or Kitty Brucknell.
If you enjoyed the live tweet collection, let us know. If you didn’t, tweet me: @Tannice_ and I’ll block you. #JOKE
Lastly, you should follow the people I’ve quoted above and add them to a list called ‘X Factor Tweets’. Brilliant, brilliant stuff.
