I'll admit straight up that I'm a BIG Xfactor fan. It's not even in a kinda embarassed, ironic way.
I just really enjoy the way the show is put together, the production and the range of emerging talent and failures that are showcased, etc, etc. As much as Simon Cowell is villified for his influence on our British music industry, the effect of the show, and the diversity in the acts each year, absolutely fascinating to watch - whether we love or hate them.
This year, any Xfactor fan will tell agree that the standard has never, ever been higher. There has never been a collection of actual real-life future music artists so impressive, original and "out there". Watch this space for ravings about my future pop heroes, and, taking from one of the Live Show's themes, my cringe-worthy guilty pleasures...
As far as I'm concerned, Cher Lloyd is straight up AMAZING, and in the words of many, not a "One Trick Pony".
I'm aware that this is a pretty out of date topic now (and just this weekend she switched up her "style" completely); but below you can just see that this damn cool 16 year old girl walked straight in and shook up the entire foundation of what Xfactor is about as a modern pop-culture phenomenon. Natural born talent.
Watch out Cheryl, there's some real talent staring you right in the face.
