It really is quite extraordinary how it has imploded this year. Its a total and utter fiasco from start to finish.
The captain left his ship... and I am afraid that has had a huge impact. There can be no denying it. His rock solid panel were disposed of and replaced by a threesome that I am afraid just don't cut it at all. No showbiz magic at all.....unlike the Cheryl/Dannii combination who generated constant headlines. Two great girls who are needed back, both of them !
Gary may be a highly respected musician but he lacks the command and control that Cowell had as head judge. He is also something of a dullard too, that cannot be denied.
Kelly would work so much better on the US version. Her americanisms just grate on the UK version. That combined with the near fatal throat condition that miraculously healed itself within days just makes me throw my eyes to heaven. Maybe she did a detour to Lourdes on her way back and that did it !!!
I like Tulisa, can't really fault her except to say that unlike Dannii, she does not have that magic showbiz buzz to her at all. Nice girl... doing a good job, but thats it. The show needs more.
Good old Louis, part of the x-factor magic for me.........just would not be the same without him. Both he and Dermot are the only reliable cogs now in a very creaky wheel.
Disastrous choice of contestants... and as for this now utter farce of bringing back a girl half way through the shows, who is eligible to win makes a final mockery of the whole thing. I am sure when the power outage happened on top of everything else... the producers were on the verge of throwing themselves out the highest window.
Ohhhh how I would love to be a fly on the wall when the first production meeting with Cowell for next year takes place. There will be blood and feathers flying !!!
