The X-Factor is back

A TOTAL of 182,000 people put their names forward to be on this year’s X-Factor.

And after watching the show on Saturday it looks like most of them were rubbish.

The audition episodes are usually the most entertaining.

The people who appear on it think they can sing and when they are told by the panel they were awful, they look shell-shocked.

It is always funny to see the look of horror on the faces of the panel, when they have to sit through a bad audition.

Two men even had to be escorted off by the bouncer, because they would not take no for an answer. The Rick Astley impersonator was passable, but his friend was laughable.

Occasionally though, someone appears on the show who has a fantastic voice.

Sharon Osbourne is no longer a panellist on the X-Factor and the new judge is Cheryl Cole of Girls Aloud. She is very similar in personality to Dannii Minogue and I am not sure if she will work as well as Sharon Osbourne. But I bet there will be a few clashes between the two of them in forthcoming weeks.

The most interesting part of the show was when Cheryl was confronted with a fellow contestant from Popstars:The Rivals. The difference in the fortunes between the two was staggering.

He was singing in working men’s clubs, while she is in one of the biggest girl bands in Britain, and worth a fortune.
