I didn't have anything to watch the other day so i d'loaded the first few episodes of the new series of X-Factor Australia just to have a look.
I've only watched the first episode so far but there was more talent in the first episode alone than there was on the whole last UK series, seriously! Some fantastic voices on there and there was a girl group (two sisters and their best mate) who were better than any of the girl groups i've seen on the UK show in a long time!
There was this guy all dressed in black leather with a black Gibson acoustic guitar (definitely channeling a young Johnny Cash i think!) who seemed like he was to cool for school but he was actually really good too.
Ronan Keating went a bit Gary Barlow at one point. There was a young guy on there who the 2 girl judges and Redfoo and the crowd were loving and he was pretty good too but Keating was saying his voice was flat and was trying to get the other judges not to put him through but they ignored him and put him through anyway! I think he was a bit jealous of the female love he was getting to be honest.
I've got another 3 episodes to watch and if the talent continues to be like the first episode it could be a great series!
I'd definitely recommend giving at least the first episode a watch if you're an X-Factor fan. I've been super disappointed with the UK show for the last few years so i was really pleasantly surprised at how good the level of talent was on this.
