Hi, One of my favourite programs is back on the box. X Factor is an interesting program, trying to find a future star. Every season thousands of hopefuls try for fame and fortune by impressing the judges. They have to sing a song or part of a song to get the thumbs up from the judges. The show is a spin off from the Pop Idols/Pop Star series from a few years ago. The X Factors is run by Simon Cowell and his company, He was on The Pop Idol series but taken the idea further. The Judges are Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue. What I like about the shows are the early editions of the series, the first audtions. Here you have people with a wide range of ability. Alot are quite poor, very bad or very funny (or all these). Makes for great entertainment. I just love the expressions on the faces of the judges. Here is a selection of some of the "fine" singers on offer. I'm waiting for these acts to release records and dvds.
