X Factor

Tonight's X Factor was a strange one. I was really excited for JLS to be back on stage singing their new single 'Love You More'. But the main event - Take That's comeback performance - didn't really live up to all the hype, and was, to be frank, a bit of an anti-climax. I feel that the magic isn't there any more and the band appear very fragile and are treading on egg shells around Robbie, which makes watching them perform quite awkward and uncomfortable. With regards to Westlife's performance, I thought it wasn't memorable or particularly spectacular - the song is a little one-sided towards Shane, whose vocals are great, just a little dominating...
 Aiden's SHOCK eviction tonight really got me angry - but also reinforced my belief that I could make it as a 'mystic meg' afterall, as I, no lies, predicted that it would be sent to deadlock and Aiden would be sent home. This show is clearly a fix (what's the point?) and the producers are losing their ability to cover it up now. I was gutted for Aiden because it's so unfair that Katie has been in the bottom two like 5 times now, yet is still kept in the competition. She's clearly not popular, so why take her any further?!? Becuase it's fixed. The shock brought memories of the amazing Laura White back to me as I remember when she was evicted I cried for ages and was so angry that someone so talented went so early. I just hope that Aiden uses his exposure more wisely than Laura did, as most people have forgotten about her now and she still hasn't released an album yet. Also, I think Wagner's continued presence on the show is actually really disrespectful to the other contestants who are really talented. I think Wagner/Vagner should be evicted next week to allow the others to compete properly without a gimmick like him there.
In other news, Susan Boyle's second album has gone to #1 - this time without all the hype and fuss. So well done to her. I think she should now go away for two years, enjoy her money and lifestyle, and write some original material for a third album. I don't know about anyone else, but all those covers are getting tiresome now. She should also do a tour as well for after the release of her third album.
Some topics I wanted to post last week, but couldn't due to time constraints and technical issues, are as follows:
Alexandra Burke has announced details for the re-package of her stunning debut album 'Overcome'. Two of the 'new' tracks - 'Perfect' and 'Before The Rain' - were leaked on youtube last year and I know all the words! And they expect me to buy them? That's a tad cheeky!
Cheryl Cole released her second album which, predictably, went to #1. I have bought a couple of the tracks - Amnesia, Promise This, The Flood and Everyone -and they all feel so rushed, with the lyrics being so transparent and sloppy. A good song should contain lyrics which are mysterious and deep - the lyrics in her songs are obvious, predictable and run-of-the-mill - and none of them were written by her! So she can't write songs or sing?!? How is this possible that she is 'one of the biggest stars in the UK'? It's quite disrespectful to real artists like Adele etc.
I am a big supporter of Matt Cardle's band 'Seven Summers' and am really pleased that people are buying their music and it's doing well on iTunes. So thanks to everyone who has bought it!
I'm sorry if this blog is a bit long! I just have a lot to say tonight! I promise they won't be this long in future, hopefully!

Thanks so much for reading - comment, tell your friends, and that!
Have a great week, catch up soon!

Big Love xx
