I've been fortunate to download both judges houses and also the final decisions for the American X Factor and even though I understand America has a much larger population, and therefore far more talent, the finalists are absolutely incredible compared to any UK X Factor.

The girls and the groups are so strong.

I'd really like to hear people's opinions.

In case people are waiting for it to be on ITV2 (Thurs and Fri I think) I won't discuss who I think could win because it will give the finalists away

I am in New York and watch both X factors... American is much better, but your BB tops ours 10 fold..... if you want to watch http://www.tv-links.eu is a real good site

The talent of American X Factor is a lot better but I prefer the UK panel and the panto that comes with the UK version

I have been watching it. There is lots of talent on it. I wouldnt say it was better than ours though. I dont like how at judges houses their singing is clearly prerecorded. Sounds very fake. I also dont like how they repeat things over and over again to drag it out. I like the judges though and rihanna enrique and pharell have been good. And i am enjoying watching it. And the talent on it really is amazing. But I stay loyal to ours. It gets straight to the point and it remains very british and it singing doesnt seem as fake as x factor usa. But I love both

This is the first ever x factor im watching since I live in america I wish I could've seen it eariler. ( The Show )

I think it's okay, L.A Reid is the best thing about it.

I think you are in for a few bitter moments. We are used to 'contestant fixing' in the UK as we know the lengths Simon will go to keep his favourites in the show, even if the voting viewers want them out. Contestants at risk will be given the all-important last performance, and also a big, impressive production. Then at the end when the judges have to pick what act stays in and who goes home, they ignore the option to take it to the actual public vote, and Simons favourite will go through in the 'sing-off' by 3 judges votes to 1.

I hope Stacy doesn't go far. We really grew suck of the crying a long time ago on the X Factor UK.
