WTF Factor

I love The X Factor. I love Cheryl and I fancy Simon. In fact, I think I even fancy Cheryl a little bit. I always hate Dannii. I wasn't in the slightest bit surprised when she made a tit of herself by bringing up a contestant's sexuality when judging him because she always talks shite. I don't for one second think that she was being deliberately offensive, I think she's just one of those moronic foot-constantly-in-mouth types.

I rarely like Louis, and I hate that he chose John and Edward to bring forward to the live shows. Cheryl was right. They can't sing. Fact. But why, oh why, oh why, has not one single judge picked up on the fact that they are almost never in time with the music?

Example:

Why haven't they pointed this out? What are SyCo paying these idiots for? This entry, from the man who slagged off Same Difference last year, who were light-years ahead of these foetal accidents. Tell you what though, after this week's performance Louis Walsh went up in my estimations. Dress them up in red PVC, make them recreate a Britney Spears video, and have them do a weird role play that makes everyone piss their pants and boy-oh-boy, you've got yourself a hit! (Shame they couldn't even do that in time to the music.) They get the comedy vote every time. Genius. And to be fair, all the groups are shit, so if he has to pick one, might as well take the Irish lads along for the banter. Fair enough.

Another question. Why did no one pick up on the fact that Rachel Adedeji can't sing? Or rather, that she can sing, but she can't reach the lofty notes in the ridiculous songs that she's being given. Why did no one notice how hard she struggled for those high notes? Why?

Example:



And check out that outfit! What's with the shoulder pads? Lovely in some cases, not a woman standing over 6' tall in heels with a shaved head. bad call, Minogue. Bad, bad call.

Third point. Why, oh why, oh why, did all but Simon and I fail to notice how amazing Jamie Archer's performance was? I have never been his biggest fan, but last night I would have paid good money to witness a live performance like that. In fact, I am notorious for having spent upwards of £30 every year for 9 consecutive years between 2000-2008 on Westlife concert tickets. Don't get me wrong, the 14 year old in me still loves Westlife, but only two of their members are even a patch on what Jamie pulled out of the bag last night, and yet Dannii and Cheryl failed to notice. WHY??

Watching the video again on youtube and hearing the warmth in his voice I felt like I was listening to an old 60s recording of some amazing rock ballad. The only criticism I had of the performance was that his nervous stance made him look like he was harbouring a urinary infection and the dish cloth that he has constantly hanging out of his back pocket makes him look like Fagin in Oliver.



Other than that, top notch, and he knew it. So why didn't the judges? Mental.

I reckon Dannii should go this week, then Rachel might have a fair shot, unlike poor Rachel Hylton last year, who had an amazing raw talent like Mr Archer here, only she didn't have Cowell to give her decent songs.

Don't let Dannii fuck up another Rachel's chances! Get her out, get Wise in!
