It seems that the blueprint for a winner is much narrower than we first thought. People say girls dont vote for girls, thus a girl is unlikely to win - unless she has the talent of Leona. People say an over 25 will not appeal to the 14-20 demographic, thus an over 25 is unlikely to win. It seems the groups need to mixed or boy's only, so they appeal to the young especially girls. It seems that the boys section will year after year be the only vibrant and competitive section. It seems you dont need the X-factor at all. You just have to be young, male and goodlooking.


Is it still a talent contest? Should we go back to the American Idol/Pop Idol style of show?
