Soon, an Earworm Near You
What's everyone's opinion on this year's The X Factor? This is the first time I watch this show, and I'm completely hooked. I know it's trash and bad for my brain cells, but I can't help myself!
It's had its fair share of surprises, what with eye-candy boyband Futureproof being unfairly kicked out a few weeks ago, then no-hopers Hope beating my favourite, Beverley, last week, - not to mention the teenage girl disqualified for "happy slapping" someone.
The X Factor is really a cautionary tale about the music world, isn't it? The jugdes manage the feat of sounding more rude than the foulest-mouthed Big Brother contestant. It's no surprise that Girls Aloud fired Louis Walsh as their manager a few years ago. Last Saturday, Louis sent Dannii Minogue crying to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
theladiesloos after he called her a tuneless, hitless wonder in front of millions. Maybe he was bitter because Simon Cowell claimed earlier he'd had hair transplant. And those were just the mild bitchy comments.
This is what I think of the last four contestants:
Rhidian: The Riddler. I can see why everyone thinks he's going to win, but I personally can't stand his style of singing. Mixing opera and pop is just as wrong as, say, the Macarena. However, with his android looks and cold, rugby-player eyes, he'd be an impressive star if he were given covers of Gary Numan's "Cars" or Depeche Mode's "Master and Servant" to sing, for example. Those X Factor judges clearly know nothing about music.
Nikki: I hope she doesn't go back to working as a school kitchen matron when the contest is over. She'll never be a pop star, but she could make a decent living from singing in small events, cruise ships and casinos.
Same Difference: The 21st Century Carpenters. Or the poster kids for an as-yet-unreleased anti-depressant. Or the happiest Christians you'll ever meet. Or a cynical attempt by an underground religious sect to brainwash the country's children. Whatever they are, I'm so sure the brother is gay. He better keep his paws off...
Leon: If I was a pre-pubescent teeny bopper, I'd also spend my weekly allowance keeping him in the competition. My thumbs would be sore from all that late-night voting. Sharon Osbourne is right: he is soooo adorable. He neatly fits into my theory about Scottish men. Now that Beverley is gone, I want him to win.
