Every time I see that video of Sharon, it reminds me of what a truly disgusting person she is. Its also amazing to think how popular Dannii became after that. It must have been a real kick in the false teeth for Sharon.

Didn't Simon say he wanted to do another series of X Factor USA? I would have said Robbie Williams was the perfect replacement for Gary, but then again, Robbie is also a member of the band Take That.

How about Elton John? If he appeared on the final, he must be a friend of the show. I'm sure he could bundle together a shit album for mums and grandmas to push for next year's 4th quarter. He'd surely have enough pulling power for the ratings to improve, just depends if they could afford his wages.

Elton hates the show doesn't he? He's been extremely negative about it over the years. I think the only reason he performed on the final is because he's really good friends with Gary.

Also, Simon's been talking about another series of X Factor USA but saying he'd have a 'different role' in it. It's almost certain that he's coming back, even though no one really wants him.

Still her first official single whatever way you look at it. And a horrible thing to predict too.

Booers, to be fair, I haven't seen you say the nicest of things in the past. It's just a feeling - her losing weight, going into the limeweight, I've seen it happen a lot before.

Predicting someone's marriage break-up is mean-spirited, ignorant and not even slightly funny.

If the US version does come back next year, I would expect that they'll a) cut it down to one night, b) hire someone considerably less expensive to replace the outgoing Demi Lovato and c) make sure they develop a viable replacement so they aren't saddled with it yet again the following season.

Ten weeks of the likes of Little Nicholas turning the same trick? No ta. Frustrating though the compliance to themes may be at times, at least they pull people in different directions.

A themeless series would be even more dumperbound. Just find better contestants.

The first thing they need is better contestants who could actually be a popstar - Nicholas was so X Factor 2004.

Then better themes and actually make sure they perform to the theme ie no Abi Alton funeral march version of disco songs.

But we got ten weeks of Nicholas turning the same trick anyway...

There is nothing wrong with themes, it the fact that nobody takes any notice of them and does the same 20 songs every fucking year that's the problem.

I'd like the themes to stay but they need to be good ones, this years were terrible. Also, in agreement with mump boy, if I was a contestant I would want to make myself shine and give myself moments. I can't believe how many songs were repeated in the lives this year. I nearly lost my shit when Tamera came out and did Listen, the game seemed to be ruined for her from that moment onwards.

The X Factor USA and X Factor AUS (latter in particular) did a much better job this year with song choice and production. X Factor USA's big band wasn't just 50s music either, they did Mama Knows Best and I Knew You Were Trouble.
