There’s never a better time than when the X-Factor is on and I’m getting a weekly dose of my favorite singers, all trying to beat out each other for the number one spot (yeah, a 40 year annuity that comes out to about $20,000 a year – sounds like something to fight for). Still reeling from the cancellation of the US X-Factor, I’m thankful there are no borders online and I can tune in each week and find out what Simon is up to.

Of my favorites: I really like the blonde who talks funny, two on the boys group, but not much else. They have a lot of people to kick off the show before it’s all done. No worries. I know I’m behind the curve, but tonight will be the pick of the final 24. Can’t wait.
