I suggest for next year they raise the age of boys and girls category to 30 and get rid of the over 25s or 28s or whatever.

40 and 50 year old singers should never be in the X Factor. Older singers have too many bad habits, too set in their own comfort zone, reluctant to try something new. All the older singers in the X Factor over the years have been karaoke singers. Young contestants are still experimenting and learning.

Create an new show for older contestants and viewers that want to see them and call it 'Last Chance Factor' or something.

The new categories would be ...

1. Boys
2. Girls
3. Boybands
4. Girlbands
