Basically because we've had no new X Factor this year I've started a rewatch of some of the previous series and see if my opinion on the contestants have changed over the years.
So far I've watched series 6, 7 & 8. And I might go for Series 9 as my next rewatch because Nicky91 has got me interested after his Carolynne thread.
I found it interesting to see how my opinions unfold without seeing the Show's propaganda and just solely listening to the performances to form my opinion of the contestants.
Anyway here's my rankings of the performances from Series 6.
I won't always be judging on who's the best vocalist, but who's performances I just take to, so yes Jedward will have some high places.
