No-one believed Louis had been genuinely sacked. Then there's the backstage clash between Sharon and Danni - pathetic.
The X Factor has already been outed on the news - apparently over a million votes were not counted last year - could that be because Simon had arranged for Leona to win from the beginning. Not that the winner is anything special, just the best of a bad bunch.

I want mistakes and human beings being themselves and showing who they are, not people cloning voices and failing because they are not perfect at being somebody else.
Surely the Z Factors point, is to create crossover hits for the masses, but there are no Proclaimers, Wurzels Streets or other diallectually original accented voices.

I still hold out hope for another Number One from Cliff. I really don't see any of the X-Factor lot being good enough to have a Number One without the hype of the TV show. It'll be real cool if Justin gets a single out and beats them to it.
I expect this 'Sharon quits' incident is yet another publicity stunt. Did anybody believe Louis had been genuinely sacked?

I think Leon looked uncomfortable because he was absolutely shitting himself, how he managed to produce such a good vocal I'll never know but it did show that he has a great voice.
I thought it was refreshing to see a well known song performed so differently but the judges absolutely slated the arrangement. All the other perfomances were run of the mill, they should have been slated for no originality.
I think as the top post suggests, this show doesn't want originality, it wants Karaoke clones. Sad.

I gather they are not even taking bets on the Xmas No1 anymore since they believe (wrongly) that it's a dead cert.
