I think the issue this year is that very few of them actually have The X Factor, the edge to be a genuine star.

Acts who definitely have it
James
Ella
Lucy

Acts who have potential to have it/ones I haven't made my mind up on
Carolynne
Rylan
Jade
MK1
Union J

Acts who don't have it
Christopher
Melanie
Jahmene
Kye
District 3

Only Charlie has the mythical X-Factor really, and she's stuck in MK1.

Christopher has the Anti X-Factor, and in large quantities.

I think Ella could grow to have it, she's very much a work in progress.

Jahmene sort of the opposite, they have to undo a lot of what is there already for him to get it.

Like the OP I think the problem this year is hardly any of them have it naturally, that 'thing' about them. And it's that thing that also gives people charisma, which is sorely lacking.

Kye for example is basically the complete absence of anything.

I think you might be right there, none of the acts really have anything special about them.

Ella is a great singer, but i wouldn't say she has any x-factor appeal.

Jahmene is too clean cut, wouldn't call that "x-factor" either.

Rylan is just a walking cliche', fun to watch but little more.

Lucy's style is exteremely dated, while i find her entertaining, nothing special there.

I'm not sure any of them have it. Let's look for icons of X-Factorness: perhaps Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley, but they were both so prodigiously talented that it clouds the issue. What about Mick Jagger or Jim Morrison? Well, their vocal abilities divide opinion, but their super-star status cannot be denied; they must have something.

So, what do Jagger and Morrison have have in common with these XFactor contestants? I can't think of anything. Not one of them is charismatic, or sexy, or magnetic in any way. They're all nice enough, but "X Factor", you're havin' a larf.

Surely if an act has the X Factor then they are a serious contender to win it. Rylan is definatly not a serious contender. He's only still in the competition because the producers care more about ratings and controversy than real talent.

None of them. A handful of them have faint embers, but none of them have that spark.

Everyone else


(Rylan would be better suited to being a TV presenter or something in my opinion).

I think the thing is, can you imagine Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson actually having to go on a talent show? The X Factor (or star quality or whatever you like to call it) shone out loud and clear.

We are left with the question - if you have to go on The X Factor, do you actually HAVE the X Factor?

None of them have the elusive X Factor. To me that's a mixture of vocal ability, looks, personality and ahard to define "something else"

Ella comes close, but of the selection offered, she's the only one..... She has the looks voice and personality, and the something is there but needs developing.

Jahmene has a fantastic voice but that's it.... Dull personality, not that good looking, and no spark....can't see the young girls rushing to put a poster of him up on their bedroom walls.

The rest are all just Meh!!
