X-Factor

Now don't get me wrong. I love X Factor as much as the next person. And I don't care what anyone says, you all bloody love it. You love cringing, laughing, marvelling or crying at the auditions, you keep tissues for the Judges Houses and feverishly press the red button on your remote control on the Live Shows. X Factor for me is the run-up to Christmas, my Saturday nights sorted, and an excuse to slag off Louis Walsh (although at the moment, poor man, I do feel for him.)

Anyway, as I was saying, I love X Factor as much as anyone. But what does really irk me is the incredibly repetitive music choices. EVERY week they play Take That. Usually it's 'Greatest Day'. You know, the one where they have it playing in the background and then they fade up to 'AND THE WORLD COMES ALIVE' and cut to shots of people running towards each other in tears because they're through to bootcamp. Another one - 'Have a little patience' - usually when someone gets rejected by the judges. 'Shine' is usually used at the start of the show. I mean, really. Get a new band.
