If the producers were hoping to make a strong showing against BBC's Strictly Come Dancing then this didn't work. I can only assume that they reckoned on everyone watching BBC as it is the first of that series and so put on their poorest auditions and didn't bother to battle this week, maybe bringing out the stronger stuff when viewers, unimpressed with the Strictly line-up, give the X Factor a try again.
This was an eminently missable show indeed. It started with an Olly look-alike called Jamie and that's all he was good for, really. Nice fellow and his second song was a bit better but still very average.
A pair of blondes called Flaxen were useless, even with some flames at the end.
A scary looking group called Alien provided the only glimpse of real talent. Modern and commercial, they were excellent and we'll see a lot more of them. A good Live Show contender.
Zen Blythe came on with a hairband and looked and sounded a bit weird. he got through and may surprise us but I doubt it.
Danny Charles was out of tune and boring. Simon Lynch was a bit more serious and came from the Isle of Man and, yes, he can sing well but I still don't see him getting very far.
A couple of girls claiming to have lots of experience and let-downs in the past appear. Shianne is pretty useless and very off key. The other one is Stephanie who is better and does an good version of Summertime. Not very memorable, though.
An old-style rocker in dreadful grey trousers can sing and perform well but is dated. He's also called Stevie.
Last up is Bupsi who is in her late 30s, from Yorkshire and can do Tina Turner numbers reasonably well. She's a full-time singer at weddings, bars and, as she says, anywhere that'll have her. Honest, if nothing else. She makes a good impression on the panel but they have to forgive some off key stuff and she cannot be expected to perform like that every time she gets on stage.
So, apart from one act, Alien. This was a very poor night indeed. I don't expect many will have sen it anyway.
