Stop the press: Gary Barlow gave Rylan a compliment?! Well, sort of a compliment. More like a back handed one, if anything. He said Rylan’s mash up of Spice Girls songs for British Week was ‘absolutely brilliant’ – apart from the singing of course. Come on, the guy had a wardrobe malfunction with the parachute [...]

Massive voting drama on the X Factor
October 10, 2012
So the first X Factor Live shows happened over the weekend, and they brought with them quite a storm! Now I for one always hope for a bit of drama in the Lives, otherwise it gets a bit boring really. In fact, it’s the bickering judges that make the live shows for me. I mean [...]
X Factor finalists announced
October 1, 2012
The X Factor judges have taken the contestants to their home, had them sing and have made their final decisions on who to take to the live show finals.

See Alexandra Burke perform on the West End stage
September 5, 2012
It’s not uncommon for West End musical songs to appear in the charts, but it is a little less common for chart topping pop stars to appear on the West End stage. All that is about to change with this year’s ‘Pop Goes the Musical’ an event that will see a variety of the [...]
Why do we love reality TV so much?
May 9, 2012
Big Brother, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Survivor, X-Factor, Strictly Come Dancing…the list of smash hit reality TV shows goes on and on. Since the turn of the millennium we’ve been head over heels in love with reality TV. But just what exactly is it about reality TV that we love so [...]
The Voice UK takes a leaf out of the X Factor’s book
May 8, 2012
After a somewhat successful start (beating BGT in the Saturday night ratings battle on more than one occasion) the BBC’s new format talent show The Voice UK has seen a disappointing drop in viewing figures; losing 2million viewers this weekend alone. This may not come as much of a surprise to those who, like myself, [...]
X Factor USA: The New Judges.
February 17, 2012
After Simon Cowell cleared house of just about everyone that was involved with X Factor, it’s time to start looking at who will take their place. There are 3 spots available on the judging panel, and they are going to have to get in a new host after Steve Jones was also given his marching [...]

Gary Barlow may not return to X Factor 2012
January 24, 2012
Are you thinking about X Factor 2012 already? I know…who is right?! Well obviously a certain someone who HAS to think about it is Mr Cowell himself, especially after the disappointing ratings of last year and it seems his thoughts are already turning to just who will be on the judging panel. If you were [...]
Little Mix add some spice with new nicknames
December 20, 2011
X-factor winners Little Mix seem to be taking a leaf out of the Spice Girls book. Perrie Edwards has been kind enough to give herself and the rest of the group their very own special band nicknames, just like the iconic Scary, Posh, Sporty, Ginger and Baby. So, let me introduce you to: Swagger Mix [...]
