That's not so bad. American Idol generally has a much higher standard of contestants than the X-Factor.

Yep, I used to be the other way round, but now theres only so many times you can laugh at people who think they can sing.

Plus now we get amazing performances from real stars :D

Early days yet... I've been a little bit underwhelmed; and it's very clear that they want a group to win this year already - but there's not really been any outstanding performances yet, I haven't seen a potential winner - that's maybe a good thing, it certainly made Series 5 a lot more exciting, but you do want to see some talent in the early stages...

I think its going to be a lot better than last year

I've only watched a bit of it and it hasn't been that good at all. I've just got no motivation to watch it or get invested in it like I usually can. I don't feel any buzz around it this year and its become too perfect and polished now which just isn't right.

Yeah. I really like Gamu and Katie Waisal. That's about it.

I like the initial auditions before boot camp/judges houses as the bad auditions make me lol and its great when we get some raw talent, but after it drags until the live shows start.

Btw who was Hollie Burns, Darenn? Cant remember the name :/

think she was on Xtra Facor.

Can only get better ?
