With only two days to go until the X-Factor starts up again (yes!), I feel a bit sad that I am SO EXCITED about it. Maybe this signifies the lack of entertainment currently in my life, or maybe it just celebrates my enthusiasm for singing, but in my opinion, there is nothing more satisfying than plonking myself down in front of the TV with a glass of wine, getting my critical head on, and generally poking fun at the thousands of wannabe pop stars that sound like a strangled fox sitting on a washing machine.
I have been getting 'in the zone' while applying for jobs, by watching snippets from the previous series' of the X-Factor and the unseen auditions which showcase THE WORST that the UK has to offer in the way of talent. Getting primed for this year's competition and the sheer unpredictability of what it could bring, is all part of my warm-up for the first show.
2010 is also a little bit more intriguing, with how the producers have filled the Malaria-shaped hole left by Cheryl at the audition stages. How will Katy Perry fit in with Simon and the crew while she guest judges and will they just chuck her off when Cheryl comes back? What will the show be like without Dannii at the auditions as well? Apparently she is jumping back in when she has finished doing the birthing thing, so how will she juggle motherhood with mentorhood? So many changes, so many possibilities! SOOOOOOO looking forward to it!!!!
