X Factor 2008: Your Thoughts?
I’ve been meaning to drop my 2 pence on the latest series of The X Factor for a while now.
{For those unfamiliar with the show; The X Factor is the UK’s version of American Idol – with a twist in that groups and over 25’s are eligible to enter. The show also birthed the career of a certain Leona Lewis}
Thus far, this year’s show is showing a lot of promise talent-wise. Two of my favourite hopefuls are 19 year old Alexandra Burke and 26 year old mother of 5 Rachel Hylton. Check out their auditions and most recent performances (at the ‘bootcamp’ stage) below:
Alexandra:
Rachel:
It’s very refreshing to see the level of talent this year after the utter crap we were subjected to last year (can you say Leon Jackson?). I’m really hoping these talented young ladies go far in the competition.
Your thoughts?

I love Rachel. The first girl didn’t impress me though: she had a nice voice, but the one I’ve heard before.
Now Rachel is… AMAZING!!! I want her album BADLY!!!

at 3:36…
reason sam hates rihanna is because he noticed that alien dyke bitch can’t sing!!!
beyonce is more famous and she sells more and sam doesn’t hate her
and how are you doing?

Neither of these girls have the look or appeal to work in today’s market, but they can sing. Still its a no on both accounts for me.

I really like Alexandra, Rachel has a raw voice, but i dont think she has the attitude for fame, she will abuse it, i can tell.
Alexandra is a beautiful girl and takes it in her stride. Obv not as strong as Leona, but she has a really good recording voice. I’d buy her album.
I think we need a new boyband/girlband…possibly boyband.
I’m still annoyed they got rid of Joelle, she had so much potential, but as she was over 25, they thought she was too much like the under 25’s and it probably wasn’t her time, but amazing voice.
Thats just my opinion I guess…
Anything this year will be better than Leon..

Who believe mediatakefakeout anyways? B’Day was a bad album and sold over 5 million. Alicia keyes just relesed her album and has sold almost as much as Rihalien with just two singles and little xposure in comparision. Bitch rihanna is hollywood broke , only eat at KFC. LOL.

X Factor is so fake. They pick the winner months in advance so it doesn’t matter who your like or don’t like, becasue they probably wont win anyway.
And they focus too much on sob stories, we have to hear the same sob story, over and over again, every bloody week until the show is finished! We all got problems – get over it.
That’s why I don’t watch and that’s why I think the American shows are better, they don’t care if you have kidney failure, or used to work in Tescos or was bitten by a dog once when you were 5!
Can you sing YES or NO? Thats is what the main focus of the show is.
And thats my two pence!

I have been watching it so far and I like Alexandra and Rachel as well. I hope they go far on the show. I am sure they will get signed.
