I've been converted!

After 5 years of watching rival show The X Factor I have officially been converted and this year will be watching Strictly!

Last year I used to watch the Sunday results and really enjoyed it Also, I am only 16 so I suppose I should be watching X Factor but Strictly appeals to me more haha.

Also I have realised that The X Factor is far too over the top now and is all about the judges and not about the acts.

Strictly 2009 here I come!

I'm looking forward to that too. Plus I will enjoy the results live on Saturday night this year too.

The new Strictly BBC site looks good too.

Welcome from me too - you'll be in good company over here! It gets very busy when the show is on and lots of us post during the live show which is great fun!

Welcome from me, I like X Factor, but it doesnt compare to the glitz and glamour of Strictly.

Yay! Welcome!

I do enjoy the X Factor but Strictly is something special. I am looking forward to this year's show.

Personally speaking, I'm looking forward to moving on from the controversial panel / dancer changes and looking forward to the dancing, the glitz, the glamour and the drama that comes with Bruce's jokes!!!

Quick someone..... call the Beeb..... They've won a fan from Xfactor....

Call the papers..... call the redtops .............. Leak the story....||!!! Hold the presses......

Welcome VMCM.....

youve made the right choice.... (and you can always do what you did last year but in reverse..... watch strictly on Saturdays and then watch the XF results on Sunday....)


ETA: this post is not sarcastic in any way.... but after what has been churned out of Beeb knox over the last month or so about trying to win the XFactor demographic war.... I couldnt resist!!

Thanks for all your welcomes!

I think the Beeb's plan of getting a younger judge has worked as I think I will be watching Alesha quite a bit

I think if you ring/email the Sun, Mirror, Star, Daily Mail or Express and tell them of your decision they might pay you to publish it! Worth a try?

If you're 16 so am I

Forgive my asking, but how can you possibly be 16 - you say you have been with Virgin Media since it's Telewest days. 13 years.

When I say 'I' in the post I mean our family. Mum and Dad have been with VM since Telewest days. Sorry to confuse you
