So Simon Cowell’s big X Factor ruse of putting together manufactured groups and telling the world how they’ll probably win X Factor has backfired – on Saturday his boyband Futureproof were eliminated from the show.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, Simon Cowell had to choose whether to eliminate Futureproof or his girlband Hope, because they were both placed in X Factor‘s bottom two. We’ll deal with Hope in the days to come, but nobody can really be surprised that Futureproof were knocked out of X Factor – their dull, weedy rendition of Can’t Take My Eyes Off You was hopelessly overpowered by the live band accompanying them and their much-discussed dance routine was a joke.

One of the main reasons we’re so happy that X Factor is back is because the hokey unconvincing X Factor theme nights are back, which meant that on Saturday everyone had to sing a song from the movies.
This is because Celine Dion was the special X Factor guest on Saturday and, since she sang the song from Titanic, Songs From The Movies was probably a slightly politer X Factor theme than Really Crap Songs That Only Wankers Like Which Are Sung By People Who Deserve To Be Drowned, the only other theme that Celine Dion fits into. Not that it matters, though – with a couple of exceptions, the X Factor contestants’ songs only managed to be Song From The Movies so long as you can count ‘second song played in the end credits after everyone has gone home’ as a song from the movie. OK, we’ll admit that we’re just bitter because Rhydian didn’t sing the overdose theme from Requiem For A Dream.
