I watched some of the show (from behind the sofa) and was struck by the similarity to Bjork's Oh So Quiet and Kitty's version of Oh So Quiet. Spookily so...

Is anybody watching the American X Factor? (Broadcast on ITV2)

If not, have a search on a popular video sharing site for Marcus Canty, specifically his judges house audition. The guy has a fantastic voice and looks to be a genuine talent. In fact, the American version has several singers that are all superb. It really does put the UK version to shame, this year's group of hopefuls are probably the worst the show has ever seen (with the exception of Misha, who I could see doing quite well out of the show).

It's like what you would get if they ran a Rugby League X factor in the UK and then took the concept to Australia, the gulf in class given the difference in potential talent pools would be huge.

I'd actually quite like a Rugby League X factor you could just run it for unsigned players who turn up for trials and then get split into different categories like forwards, backs, halfbacks and so on and get them being mentored by Phil Clarke, Ian Millward and Gary Schofield. Eddie Hemmings could present the show and deal with the kids scriking because Schofield had told them they were s--t.

Clarke would put through some lad from Wigan completely out of his depth and go "d'ya know Eddeh, this lad's the complete package, he's the future of rugby league". Millward would be like Louis Walsh putting the joke acts through and Schofield would be like Simon Cowell the badass alpha male character that was hardest to impress. I reckon I'm onto a winner with this concept.

Didn't Quins once do that to try and find a prop forward? They called it prop idol hehe

I think we should have a game of X-factor buzz words bingo.
Eyes down, look in. For a line........
'You made that song your own'... 'you absolutely nailed that one' ...'that song was made for you' ... 'you owned that song' ... 'you were born to sing' ...HERE!!!!!!!

'When I look up at that stage, I don't see a contestant on this show. I see someone who looks like they've been performing in the business for 10 years!'

Kelly .... 'Janet when you are up there on the stage singing, we could hear a pin drop'.

Well get Janet to fooking sing louder then Kelly!

I think Louis/Tulisa/Kelly/Gary* chose the wrong song for you

*delete as appropriate

Tulisa - "I'm so proud of you for doing this for women's rights, you're standing up for women against patriachy and oppression well done girls"

Louis - "I want everybody in Ireland/Liverpool/wherever the contestant is from to pick up the phone and vote for you tonight!"

Kelly - "I'd just like to hear your vocals/harmonies get a little bit tighter" (ie you are crap)

as for Gary whatever he says is in that Slow.Deliberate.Way.Of.Spea.King. like Paul Cullen on Sky.

Whatever he says, you can see his brain thinking, "Why am I doing this? I'm loaded, I shouldn't have to be putting up with this toss and getting grief from the leprechaun, some stroppy madam riding on Dappy's coat tails and Beyonce's cast off."
