X Factor? Anyone?

 Hey gang,

Just wondering if any of you are obsessing over this year's X-Factor?

If so:

Who'd you want to win?
What do you think of the decisions so far?
Do you think the idea of combining failed solo singers into a group was a stroke of genius?

Answers, opinions, more please!

I haven't been watching it but yesterday I allowed myself a quick run through on Youtube (annoyingly they've been taken down now but the official site has a Video Page (http://www.xfactor.tv/videos/), I can't access it from work though).

Anyway, Same Difference are clearly awesome! Rhydian will do for the mums as a comedy opera chap, Futureproof have clearly been hit with the ugly stick, the Ratpack boy (Andy?) can fvck off, Beverley has a VERY good pair of lungs on her, the girl group are lacking oomph (could be good once their voices mature, they are VERY young), the rest made NO impact on me.

Standard seems v low this year even by X-Factor standards. The Happy Incest Twins are brilliant though, so I hope they win.

And Charlie Brooker's description of Rhydian in the Guardian this weekend was hilariously spot-on.

Rhydian is most definitely the most interesting one on there.

I'm petrified he's going to end up on Eurovision though :S

Futureproof rival East 17 for ugliest boyband ever.
