Yep, I guess so.  The early rounds have a certain voyeuristic charm.

Yes I shall. I heard they are holding the auditions in front of a live audience instead of just the panel of judges (much like they do on Britain's Got Talent.) I hope this will help get the best singers and not just the ones with the most interesting (sob) stories.

Apparently Kate Moss is going to be helping Louis Walsh choose the finalists in his category!

I know what you mean Smurfy. One season is hardly midway through before another is being forced on us. Once upon a time the kids went back to school, then the football season started, then it was last night of the proms and soon after that Chritmas cards started to appear. Nowadays the football season starts whilst most people are still on holiday, back to school signs and stock start as soon as the kids break up for the summer and the Christmas cards appear the day after the kids go back to school.

The arrival of X Factor has already got me thinking about Christmas.

It makes me think of Saturday night in front of the TV eating fish and chips ... that's the way it has been since Noel's House Party!!!

There were some really good acts last night! The girl who sang 'What a Wonderful World' (Stacey) and the chap who performed 'With a Little Help From my Friends' (Daniel) were exceptional (although I was a bit suspicious about Daniel as they provided a full backing track and his performance looked rehearsed and it came last so the show ended on a high note).

Sad to see the plump Emma back with her even plumper sister as they really must accept (and so must their parents) that they cannot sing.

I went off Danyl a bit when I saw the spelling of his name. I'd like to believe that's how his parents spelled it, but I can't help thinking he's just a plain old Daniel who wanted to sound more exciting in his bid for stardom.

He's certainly a very good singer but I can't quite believe he just walked out of the queue, last by chance, and put on a performance like that at random. He didn't just have backing music, he had a full backing track and it all seemed rather contrived.

However, Stacey was fantastic and so personable without any schmuck. I hope she goes a long way.
