Last year, I did a blog on the live X-Factor programmes.

It was a change that there were no disastrous singers/groups, that had got this far and it was right that the sing off was between the 2 girl bands.

However, I am concerned that from the first live programme, Laura White performed so well, as if it was the final. So I already predict Laura to win.

Is it worth proceeding with the rest of the series?

Last year, I also made it clear how I did not think Leon Jackson, the eventual winner could not sing.

Well, now I know why he hasn't been seen for about 10 months. As well as getting an album put together, he's obviously had singing lessons, as he can now sing.

Also, he's had a makeover and even lost weight, even though he didnt need to.

As he can now sing, I take back what I said. However, Rhydian was still the better singer, in the last series.

FINALLY - I absolutely loved the Peter Kay spoof "Britain's Got the Pop Factor etc .....". I havent laughed so much for a whole evening, for years. I hope it is released on DVD. I am not a fan of Peter Kay, but I was won over last night and he looked so convincing as Geraldine. I also wonder if the intention was to release "The Winners Song" as a CD. I wouldn't be too surprised.
