The X Factor, USA

So, most people I know are watching The X Factor.  Most of the women I know now want to be thrown around the bedroom like a rag doll by Gary Barlow who is MASTERFUL on the show.  Most sane people now want Robbie and Gary to present everything on TV for ever more.  A lot of people are considering having a 'Tulisa' i.e. substantial cosmetic dentistry which can turn you into a star.

Here is a gratuitous Gary pic.

What can I say?  Its a top show designed to suck you in from now till Christmas, when you will stop giving a monkey about any of the bozos that get to the top.

Now my friends, what you wanna do is watch a bit of The X Factor USA which ITV2 are currently showing.

The main reasons for doing this are as follows:

• They take it SO much more seriously and this makes it way funnier
• There are a surprising number of people called illuminating names like Jeremiah
• They are amazingly talented compared to the UK version
• They have extraordinary teeth
• They let people join the competition from the age of 12, so you get to see some REALLY precocious kids
• They are, unashamedly, bonkers.    

However, boring old Simon Cowell is in charge of the panel, not lovely Gary - so you can't have everything.
