Everyone has gone X factor bonkers!!!



It's nearly christmas and that can only mean the return of one thing, and I don't mean this in a nostalgic sense no excitement for putting up the christmas tree or listening to you're Grandad's never ending stories, No christmas seems to have lost all meaning in the last few years because this time of year has become the host of one of the nations most if not the nations favourite programme, Yes you've guessed it, the X Factor.
This year has already offered us alot of talented hopefuls all desperate of a shot at fame, in the first week we
saw Simon's band "FYD" get the boot then closely followed by Danni's rather pretentious act "Niccolo Festa" who when asked how he felt about getting the boot, replied in a surly voice 'i feel ...crap', well you go feel crap somewhere else Niccolo because you're not too p
opular round here!
Last week,
to my dismay saw the end of the road for "Storm" personally i felt the judges couldnt look beyond the fact that he was in his late 3
0s and he had previously failed to be a rockstar, they held this against him which i didn't feel was fair
as I felt he had a gravelly, rocky tone to his voice and enjoyed hi
s performances. We also said goodbye to "Diva Fever" the very camp, fashion victims..but I have to admit I did have a little soft spot for them and loved their rendition of 'Barbra Streisand".










Cheryl is wowing the crowd as usual, how is it possible that she gets more and more beautiful every year? But it has to be said Danni is catching up on the fashion front, Danni has not failed to impress on any of the live shows!






Simon and Louis have been up to thier usual tricks, bickering at every single opportunity! I don't get it? Do they get on or not? Because year after year Louis still has his place firmly on the judging panel, yet all he seems to do is make snide, bitchy comments and give his acts rubbish songs to sing, and poor old Wagner this year doesn't even know the songs that Louis gives him. The hunky bazillian is having a tough time, he wants to be taken seriously and wants Louis to give him powerful, operatic songs, but instead he is given 'She Bangs' by Ricky Martin... are they setting Wagner up to fail?.. I think so!




He may look slightly crazy, but good on him for getting this far! I would love it if Wagner won, and brought out a really silly christmas song, would show Simon that year after year he can't keep taking over at christmas! I wonder when the next actually decent song (which isn't part of a reality TV show) will get christmas number 1. I know rage against the machine got number 1 last year but that was only because of a petition against X factor, It would be brilliant if a talented artist just wrote a really good song and it beat X factor this year!
