Last year I was going to post regularly about the X-Factor but events conspired against me and it felt a bit frivolous.
But it's back and so am I.
So Saturday was the first live show and chance to see all the acts perform back to back. Initial thoughts I that I hate all the groups. What a rag tag bunch they are, Louis doesn't stand a chance. Fortunately he's already lost one of the two girl bands. Can't remember which one - they were both so rubbish. And the boy band made me wince they were so out of tune.
The oldies is the second worse category. Daniel is in there because people feel sorry for him and I can't remember any of the others.
The winner is definitely going to come from either Simon or Cheryl's categories and my money would be on one of the girls as they are by far the strongest singers. Alexander and the smoke-voice Lauren who actually made me look up from my laptop were the best.
