The hype that surrounds X Factor 2011 is starting to finally quieten down. Unless you live Stateside, in which case, we apologise.
We've endured the taunts and teases about which judges would step in for Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Kylie Minogue?s sister. Louis Walsh?s alleged nightclub incident could’ve seen him judging from the cells. The appointments of Tulisa and Gary Barlow made vague sense, but Kelly Rowland? She was basically the backing vocalist to Beyonce in Destiny?s Child.
Because the human race is full of bitter and twisted people, the majority of folk watching X Factor only bother with the audition stages. Here, we can prejudge people based on their appearance, clothing and back story. The judges have passed their verdict on thousands of hopefuls and now it's off to boot camp. Last year, Cher Lloyd found herself there and paired with Cheryl Cole. She might have been grateful for Cheryl?s guidance then, but times have changed. Cher would have preferred Tulisa from N-Dubz guiding her. Get your claws out.
