Ah, Mondays. Do you remember those halcyon days when Mondays were set aside for X Factor blogging? Me too. It was only last week.
Anyway, I thought that after writing so much about the bloody programme I should take time to look back over the series as a whole. Like last year, however, I can’t be bothered doing [...]

It’s Michael Jackson night, so at least there might be some good songs. Of course, he did plenty of bad ones too. Fingers crossed that no one does ‘Earth Song’ (you can [...]

The X Factor Finals: Week 8
We’re down to five acts this week and I’m feeling as apathetic as I possibly could be towards the competition. Frankly, you should consider yourselves very lucky to be getting this post at all. The theme this week was Take That and Elton John – the contestants did 2 songs each.

Lloyd – Faith – The exciting news is that Lloyd has had a bit of a haircut. The unexciting news is that his singing is as ropey as ever. It’s not that he’s [...]

Jamie Afro Interview
It’s another preview X Factor story from this week’s News of the World:
X FACTOR evictee Jamie Afro reckons he would do it his way if he entered the competition again – and not take advice from Simon Cowell or the show’s producers.
It was “incorrect” song choices made by his mentor Simon, 50, and producers that [...]

The X Factor Finals: Week 6
This week was ‘Queen Week’ and I’m totally bored of the themes. They could only save it by having ‘Indie Week’ in which Joe sings The Stone Roses and Jedward cover The Smiths. We can but dream.
P.s.
I inexplicably can’t put breaks between paragraphs in Sunday’s bit.

The X Factor Finals: Week 5
It was ‘Movies Week’ on the X Factor this week, but this was essentially just free rein for them to pick whichever songs they wanted (virtually every popular song has appeared in one film or other). On a personal note, my post might be a bit shorter\rubbisher this week due to blogging fatigue and a [...]

Sinitta Criticises Cole Over Danyl Comments
As last week, I have a preview X Factor story from this upcoming Sunday’s News of The World:
EXCLUSIVE
SIMON Cowell’s closest adviser has warned Cheryl Cole to stop “destroying” Danyl Johnson or risk driving him to a breakdown just like Susan Boyle.
Pop star Sinitta – who is by Simon’s side every moment backstage at The X [...]

The X Factor Finals: Week 4
It was ‘Rock Week’ on the X Factor this week and it meant that I might possibly like some of the songs. That said, they were always likely to be somewhat flexible in their definition of ‘rock’, so I wasn’t banking on liking any of them. On a more mundane note, I hurriedly finished this [...]
