Careful what you wish for there DNJ. You might just get it!

We have had X-Factor for a number of years now, and it is no better than American Idol - or Pop-Idol as we called it here.

It's the same thing with a wider catchment of ages. They allow groups too. It's just more crazies to sift through before we get to the good guys n gals. Even then, the winner disappears for a year and brings out a single in-time for next Christmas, just when the new series of X-Factor is due to finish. The new winner gets their winning single out for Xmas, and it always gets number one, unless as happened two years ago, an internet campaign is started to block it. Normally the previous years winner just dissapears unless they actually are really talented like Leona Lewis.
