Oh, RihRih. You just won't go away.

Okay. She's just plain amazing. I can't pretend I'm not wowed by her consistently any more (though will never feel as strongly for her as The Boy does. And no, I haven't bought him tour tickets for Christmas like he wants, bless him). 


She is everywhere. All the time. I don't have the energy to even attempt to list the ways. But I can't avoid it. She's tremendous. In every way. 


And I think it's safe to say that it was Saturday night's incredible duet that got Matt Cardle that Xfactor Crown, the lucky sod.

Brief Thoughts on Tonight's Pending Final.

I want Cher Lloyd to win. 
But I don't know if it'll happen. And I have liked all the others throughout. Even One Direction (standard sucker for the BoysInTheBand)


The only things I've heard as definite tonight are that Rebecca has Xtina. Absurd.


And that Matt has Rihanna. The Boy is gutted.




Best of Luck, Guys and Dolls!

Brief BBC Reflectionz - Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

Tonight's episode (just aired) was a pleasant surprise following the promising mess of last week's show, fronted by The Devil (Tim Westwood).


Tonight's Star, Diana Vickers continues to prove that she's not just TheAnnoyingPrickOffXfactor anymore. A very funny, very intriguing girl. I like her point of view. And I'm proud to admit that most of the time, she tops the likes of TheLegs, Pixie Lott, especially in the EverHeighteningFashionStakes.


We are also graced with TheEverBemusingHoosiersFrontMan, Irwin Sparkes. There's just something to like about him, especially when I remember just quite how tiny he is in the flesh (You know what they say, TheBiggerTheHead,TheBiggerTheStar). 

TheIrritatingGuestHost, Lee Mack, redeemed himself last night, with great thanks to the help of The Babes -Noel Fielding and Phill Jupitus. 


I'm sorry (for them) to say that ThePatheticYetAlmostHeartWarmingFameChaser, Andrew Stone, and MildlyBoringAndSaddeningComic, Jon Richardson, were definitely TheWeakerGuests, though charming in their own right. I guess...

Guilty Pleasure #1 - Xfactor, turn your swag on.

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.
