    X Factor Live Blog - Week 6

    There won't be one. I watch the programme to see some of our young people with potential develop into great singers. I happen to think there is a hell of a lot talent out there, but this programme has become - even more than it has in the past - a battle of egos between the judges. Last week, Simon Cowell - despite what he says - decided to push out a singer who was a genuine threat to his acts and who could have easily gone on to win the contest.

    I won't be watching tonight, although my prediction is one of Simon's acts will leave the competition tomorrow, as the public seeks revenge on him. This rather goes to prove my point. Another singer will leave, not because of their talent, but because of the battle of the egos going on with the judges.

    John & Edward will live to fight another day. They are being primed for a short, novelty pop career and then jobs presenting on TV. Either way, Simon Cowell's bank balance is set to rise, unless people switch-off their sets, which I know will not happen in the numbers required to worry him.

    I'm finding the battle of egos in this political project at the moment is providing a lot of blockages.

    if entertainment value is anything to go by, then John and Edward SHOULD WIN. They are the only act who put any effort into their performance, and I would rather pay to go and watch them than Stacy who cant even walk down two steps and sing and the same time! My 11 year old daughter can sing just as good as her (if not better), and dance as she sings. The Twins will go far, no matter what happens.
