Factory Records

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Discussion on another LJ reminded me that we've not talked about the X Factor yet this year on Poptimists. This seems remiss, since it'll produce at least one enormous hit before 2009's end and - if it does it's job - a viable pop star for a couple years' more.

Also I have actually been watching this year and I'm too ashamed to Twitter about it. We're down to 10 contestants which seems acceptably POLL-sized to me. Kandy Rain's bold attempt at UK ho'n'B was first out, and last weekend that ridiculous kid in the hat was rightly removed. So who's left? And - from our point of view - who might actually make good pop records (as good as "Bad Boys" say, let's not aim too high)? You may have as many ticks as you want.

I actually want the Twins to win. This show is getting tired and them winning would underline it. But they are by far the most entertaining act. There is no one who is exceptional and the pushing of a solo male to win this year after Leona/Alexandra is completely cynical. I'm disheartened that Dany has received so many votes.
