most shows start on a boring note and end very well. the x factor is not excluded.

Why does Dermont have to kiss all the girls? That guy is getting extra on his pay up there. He always ensures he gives every of them a peck. This is aside from when he had to huig all of them during qualifying. Am really jealous now

xfactor is not boring. the audition was as hilarious as ever. the live performances started slowly but trust me its always worth it in the end. watch out.

Former Xfactor winner beaten on the charts by a comic song !!! I said it. Have we seen the pinnacle of this show's success? When they crowned that boy last year, I felt Rhydian was robbed because how could you not see how timid and untalented Leon was? Yes, he is likable, he is humble and he is mama's little boy but its the music skills we are talking here. Its the entertainment factor and Rhydian has got it more than Leon. In fact, I (as most other people), tuned in always just to watch the freaky Rhydian and I would go to his concert ahead of Leon's. It must have been a phone cock up (which we know happens on this sort of shows anyway).

Ok back to the issue. Comedian Peter Kay' single beat Leon's maiden delivery on the charts Horrors! All xfactor winners always debut on number 1 - Leona, Shane. What happened to Leon? He debuted at number 3 - behind a comedy song. Simple, we let an untalented dude win. The song is good but its rather boring and did you see his performance on the live shows, I swear some of the contenders are better than him. They could have sang that song better. This guy needs a lot of training to improve.

Anyway, consolation. One of my favorite girls was at number 1 - PINK with her single 'So What'.

am beginning to change my opinion after watching Saturday's Rachael Hylton's performance.

i cant believe Austin Drage has been eliminated from the show. He was fantastic. I knew Lewis was going to vote for Rachael because of Danny. He did it to get back at Simon.

the ejection of laura white was unfair and i feel we are about loosing a major talent. judges should keep their personal grudges away from deciding people's fate on this show. apparently there is a lot of noise to re-instate her.

suspicious throat infections and all. the plot thickens
