I've thought of a few more:

Let the finalists have a choice in the winners' single. "When You Believe" didn't suit either Leon or Rhydian, the song was written more for a female vocalist. It doesn't surprise me that Simon Cowell said Niki's version was the best.

I hope the results show isn't moved to a Sunday. I don't want to wait a day to find out who is eliminated/through to the next week. Moving it would be a pathetic attempt by ITV to rival and copy SCD.

Let the voting lines be open for a week before the final like on BB. Most people have made up their minds who they want to win by the end of the semi-final. It will give everybody a chance to vote for their favourite act and put an end to voting problems that marred the last final. The acts might even enjoy the final a bit more as they would know most of the votes had already been cast.

That the winner is decided by talent and not by nationality, looks, age, gender and class. (But this is probably hoping for too much)

I hope they will do more recent songs and i hope they have better themes!
Im also hoping they are going to allow teenage groups. Oh and also i think that the finalist should be able to pick a song which they would like to release if they win x

People who can actually sing so I don't have to support an almost middle aged woman who is the best of a bad bunch.

Rhydian- I hate opera and classically trained singers which rules him out for me straight away
Kimberley- ITV1 are to blame- she was good. I would have wanted to see more from her. She was far from the worst on the night
Bev- She couldn't have made a career outside X Factor but great singer
Niki- Same as above
Andy- He was too boring

This Year's American Idol for me has highlighted a few flaws in X Factor. I'd like it if the contestants got to choose their own outfits, songs, styles more like they do on American Idol. I also want the pantomine-esque drama between the judges to go, it's so forced a faked it's unbelievable. Also, get rid of Louis he knows nothing about music, he gave the world westlife and boyzone for christ's sake he should be done for crimes against my ear drums.

Rant over!

I agree. The format of AI is much better than X-Factor,. I also think so much of the soap Opera of X-Factor exists because the acts simply dont have the talent.

The thing I want most to see it the most talented singers making it through to the finals.
