The X Factor – Week 1

Okay so week 1 hasn’t gone quite to plan with Nicolo and FYD being sent home, but all in all the live shows have certainly started off with a bang. First up there was THE TWIST which everyone had pretty much guessed as soon as last weeks shows had ended (and Gamu still didn't get in!). T’was good to see Paije, Diva Fever, Wagner and Trayc back, but it was Mary Byrne who stole the show for me with her stunning performance of This is a Mans World. It gave me goosebumps!

On the hottie front, we have the 2 delectable boys Aiden and Danny (not quite up to the standard of Gavin Henson and Matt Baker from Strictly Come Dancing, but we’ll get on to that tomorrow). I don’t think i can pick a favourite so I'll just have to take them both!

The results show was a bit of a let down with the final 16 miming badly to The Rythym of the Night (one of 1Direction even forgot to put the microphone to his mouth before he sang!). Then on to Usher, who is sex on legs, but wasn't the best live and don't get me started on auld snaggletooth Joe McElderry. I’m just thankful that he wasn’t wearing skinny jeans.

If I'd had my way, either Cher or Katie would have been in the bottom 2 based on their Saturday night performances (although Katie did a remarkable job in the sing off and was the right choice to stay).

One final thought – the judges picked the 12 “strongest” acts to go to the live shows, but it was the wildcards that sailed through show 1……

What did you make of the show? Feel free to comment below!

Roll on week 2!
