As someone who does not follow the show, this is an interesting glimpse into X Factor world.

A work colleague of mine who is a reasonable musician said the thing he always notices is the number of contestants who sing out of tune but hit their timings perfectly.

Or so I'm told. My reality show loyalties still lie firmly in the Apprentice camp. Over there, this year has gone in heavily for the "chosen for the purposes of amusement" candidates and ludicrous stereotypes - I'm surprised that with all eight boys in the boardroom anybody managed to get out alive without drowning in a sea of testosterone and Lynx. It's not as good without the owl-like Margaret Mountford though; Lord Sugar's new right hand woman just doesn't have the same turn of curt sarcasm.

:) exactly the same opinion here!! I'm still enjoying it whole-heartedly but it's certainly not a talent show anymore! I also love the slant Simon's taking this year on supporting anyone "not boring"

I know! I suppose they've shot themselves in the foot a bit, as they've now had so many different types of winner, that every new (dull but talented) contestant will inevitably be called "the new Leona, but not as good" etc. So they're going with novelty acts now - probably abandng any pretense of them having a serious recording career, but will make people phone in !

Was there not the big controversry of Danni and the boy loving comments to Danyl last year? Plus I have rubbish gaydar... i did not pick up on Aidan.

Me neither. I am sad now, because obviously, as a 40+ year old overweight woman I soooo stood a chance with Aiden. :)
