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.

As the weeks go by we’re starting to get more of a feel of which acts can really get up on the stage and hold the crowd.

Zoom 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.

You Don't Have to Say You Love Me 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.
