Interesting question.

It annoyed me when Simon was criticising Alex for lacking originality. In this show the acts are required to sing cover version of songs made famous by well established artists. On just about every occasion they have to sing the song with the same arrangement as the original. Given that I ask the question, how much originality can anyone expect?

Personally, I'm not looking for a great deal of originality, I'm looking for talent. I feel Simon was talking a lot of sh*t when he was criticising Alex and was only doing it to destroy her confidence. In the first few shows Diana DID show some originality but since then I think she's shown that she much more limited than we were expecting.

yeh it is X factor after all, your right. And I wish Alex could have given more, I really loved Candy man and if she did something like that and wowed me every week Id be on here singing her praises, as for the rest I can never really remember what they sing unless theyre bad. But Diana is the only one thats wowed me, to be honest, unless she wrote her own music though or did some wicked covers I wont buy her album, but I think many would. And for X factor shes pretty damn good really
