Having said all of that, the only winner to date who, IMO, has had both a lot of talent and a personality that leaves an impression on you, is Alexandra Burke. I guess you need a combination of both, but talent is more important. None of the contestants are anything new so I don't think that particular argument stands up.

I'm not really referring to her personality, I'm referring to her lack of stage presence, movement around the stage, etc etc. Perhaps I should've made that part more clear, sorry. She never has any choreography - and when she does the most it is is her moving her hips from side to side. That's what I'm referring to - because I wouldn't pay money to see her standing in a black dress singing fifteen ballads for two hours on her tour. I'd want to see a show as well.

When I say something 'new', I mean in terms of the X Factor. Cher's definitely something we haven't seen before, IMO, and One Direction would be 'new' in the sense that we haven't had a group win before...so that would be good. I'm just a bit fed up of having the same, predictable winners year on year. Rebecca's got a good voice, yes, but then so did Leona [although hers is far superior]. Matt's another Shayne Ward, IMO, even though I like him. I just think we need a different type of winner for once.
