X Factor UK 2011

So we now know who will be going through to the judges houses.
Gary Barlow is off to LA with the boys.
Kelly Rowland is off to Miami with the girls.
Louis Walsh is off to Barcelona with the over 25s.
Tulisa Contostavlos is off to Greece with the groups.
It seems that all the judges are happy with their categories and seem really committed to them (not sure about Louis as he appears go have Goldie in his group?).

As the new season of X Factor is underway I had resigned myself to not watching it due to the change in judges (apart from Gary Barlow who I really admire).
Fast forward past the audtions I am now tuning in with the other millions of people because I think it’s such a great judging panel. The combination of Gary, Kelly Rowland, Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh (still not sure of Louis and how he claps!) has made for something fresh and more exciting. Have not missed Simon Cowell at all I think Gary Barlow is far better in the head judges role.
X Factor 2010 – Live Show 2

All change with the X Factor. Excellent performances by Matt Cardle, Mary Byrne, Rebecca Ferguson and Treyc Cohen. John Adeleye upped his game and sang brilliantly and Aidan put in a disappointing performance after last week. Also, Cher Lloyd actually sang!
With Simon and Dannii both an act down this is what it looked like last night.
X Factor 2010 – Live Final Show 1

With a potentially exciting line up for the first final and the controversy surrounding the show this week, millions of people were no doubt glued to the television for the first X Factor Final. And we were not disappointed. This is probably one of the best line ups we’ve had for the X Factor if not the best (allowing for nerves and the occasional flat note!).
Simon has the groups – F.Y.D, Belle Amie, One Direction and wild card Diva Fever.
Cheryl has the girls – Cher Lloyd, Katie Waissel, Rebecca Fergusson and wild card Treyc Cohen
Dannii has the boys – Aiden Grimshaw, Nicolo Festa, Matt Cardle and wild card Paije Richardson
Louis has the over 28’s – Mary Byrne, Storm Lee, John Adeleye and wild card Wagner
F.Y.D – kicked off the proceedings. Although a little flat in places, it was a good opening song for the evening (Billionaire) and they are no doubt a fun group.
Matt Cardle – Brilliant. He has a superb voice and can’t wait to hear him throughout the series. He sang When Love Takes Over.

Movie week should have brought about some fabulous songs. For goodness sake how many movies have been made and how many hits have come from them.
X Factor – Live Show 4 – Joe and Jamie the Rockers

Rock week this week saw some great singing. It’s probably easier to say which acts weren’t the best.
Lloyd, Danyl and John and Edward were in my bottom three this week.

Considering it was big band week, which is part of the series I always look forward to, I thought the show was extremely disappointing.
X Factor – Live Show 2 – Jamie Rocks!

Is there no end to Jamie Archer’s talents? What a fantastic performance tonight and great choice of song from Christina Aguilera called Hurt (if you want a good cry listen to the full Christina version on You Tube here). What a great piece this would be in the finals, Jamie Archie and Christina Aguilera singing this song. Nothing could beat that for a powerful combination!
What I really love is the fact that Simon Cowell has not tried to change him. He already has a trademark look – t-shirt, jeans, scarf and of course the hair and it’s great to see that hasn’t altered it.

Well what a great start to the live shows.
Considering it was the first live performance they all did really well, but the acts that really stood out for me on Saturday night were: Jamie Archer, Joe McElderrry, Lucie Jones, Stacey Solomon and Danyl Johnson.
X Factor Final 12 – Oh Yes Jamie!

Well I don’t have to watch the X Factor each week now, I’ll just have my phone on speed dial voting for Jamie Archer. Out of everyone he was the one person I really wanted to go through and didn’t they just make us wait until right at the end of the show to find out.
