X-Factor

No, not the fabulous Lauryn Hill song of a previous post, but the cultural phenomenon that has set up camp on TV over the past two months or so. The final was an extravaganza of music and lights; I've said it to anyone who will listen, but the production values of that show BLOW MY TINY MIND, it is unreal. X-Factor must be single-handedly keeping ITV afloat. I remember feeling emo last year watching Beyonce duet with winner Alexandra Burke, who totally upstaged JLS today, but not as much as watching the VTs of Olly and Joe's families... I'm becoming far too sentimental. Olly's a better dancer, but Joe deserved it for that voice.

The power of the TV talent show has been proved and entrenched by this year's X-Factor - the number of global stars who have performed on the show has been amazing.

I don't think John Lennon would have played.
