Anyone watch the X Factor?

Well I actually don't like the show. I find the judges and all the fake sentimentality rather irritating. However, I do like to tune in to watch the acts sometimes and well, you could have pushed me over with a feather - they have someone genuinely amazing on this year!!!

Seriously, Diana Vickers - OMG!! What a performance! She's only 17 and has only sung at school and stuff before, but she did this on the first live show...

So beautiful. *sob*

Personally I'm not a fan of hers, though I can see where she'd have a niche in the market because she's got the different kind of voice and image.

The bare feet just remind me of Joss Stone and I find the way she sings irritating, but it seems she has potential and I'm guessing she's going to go far in this comp. I will admit she's one of the best singers this year.

Hehe, well didn't Simon say she's the sort you either love or hate? I just adore her style and voice.

Do you have a favourite? I also liked the boyband a lot (can't remember their name), normally the groups aren't very good but I thought they sang really well.

JLS I liked, I think they could go far. One of the better bands they've had on X. Didn't like either GirlBand or Bad Lashes.

Alexandra is my favourite at the moment. I thought she did fabulously. The young girls are by far the most strongest group this year. I liked the other young girl as well (Can't remember here name) but Alexandra is my fav for now.

My mind changes all the time though when I watch these shows. Like last year I couldn't stand Ridian at first and then I ended up loving him. Ya never know, by the end of this series I'll probably want Diana to win!

No I didn't like the girlbands either. I thought the last songs they did to try and stay in the competition were particularily bad! Def agree that Cheryl's girls are the best though.

And I don't think I greatly liked anyone last yr!
