He was fantastic and a lovely person too, )much as I don't really want to know the back stories of the contestants). I think he has been eclipsed this week by the maths teacher John Adams, but that's just my opinion. The live heats are going to be really good this year.
there are to many sob story's IMO on the x factor for me, same as last night when the contestants tell their sad story's and the judges (telling porky pies for impact) and public take it all in with tears in their eyes and tell them they are going to be stars in the future when we know they are not.
I don't watch the X factor (or much TV) but I do like watching the very awful auditions on You Tube. I know that it isn't nice to laugh at them - but some of them are just so bad.
I'd appreciate if they just came out and sang rather than giving us a ten minute lead up to the audition itself, 8 of which are usually the sob stories!
