The latest season of the X-Factor UK kicked off in spectacular form tonight. Unsurprisingly, with this being the audition phase, the talented and talent-challenged came out in equal measure for a crack at progressing to the next stage. Judging the hopefuls are new additions Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, original panelist Louis Walsh, and newcomer Nicole Scherzinger.
{An international phenomenon, local versions show now air in the US, Italy, France and beyond. The brain-child of Simon Cowell, the show is responsible for birthing the careers of Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Cher Lloyd and JLS.}.
The Best and worst of opening week auditions below…

Total rubbish, the format is tired and boring, it’s the same tosh every single year with flop male winners. If this is what America is expecting in season 2 of the X Factor USA, I would encourage everyone to watch THE VOICE, it’s fresh, young, funny and current. Plus THE VOICE has a Grammy Award winning panel, just saying.
