New generation X-Factor kicks off
August 20th, 2011So tonight was the opening of X-Factor 2011 with a new line up of judges that include Tulisa of N-Dubz fame, Kelly Rowland, solo star and former Destiny’s child member, Gary Barlow of Take That and Louis Walsh.
We’re still not sure who is supposed to be in Simon Cowell‘s seat but it looks like Gary Barlow has stepped up to be the main man.
The first person through to boot camp is a young chap by the name of Frankie Cocozza who came with swagger, spunk, voice, attitude and the dream of sleeping with as many women as possible. This cheeky youngster was
highly praised by the judges for his audition. Kelly commented that he was refreshing while Tulisa stated that the girls are going to love him. Gary chimed in to say that he has star quality with all the bad habits. He turned up the heat by showing the names of 7 women tattooed on his rear end. What a riot! We’re pretty sure that he is not only going to go far, but he is going to have a string of young women chasing him.
Tai Chi instructor Goldie Cheung from Hong Kong first spent a few minutes throwing up backstage before coming out and doing a bit of a Tina Turner thing in Chinese that no one understood but it appeared that no one cared because everyone was too busy watching her wrap her legs around Gary’s head. Gary was seriously not impressed and while he voted no, the other 3 judges gave her a yes.
The one to watch is a young lass from Ireland by the name of Janet Devlin who is just 16 years old. She came out very shy and unsure but then belted out a rendition of Elton John’s Your Song that won her a standing ovation from the crowd including Gary Barlow who was visibly moved by her vocal ability. The other judges concurred and she left with 4 yesses and resounding applause from the crowd. So far our pick of the competition.
Another young singer that got a yes from the judges was pizza slapper from Essex, Roxy Yarnold.
The first group we see go through is all girl group SoSo status who reckon they are inspired by Destiny’s Child.
The idiot of the evening though was definitely this George Gerasimou character that came back to “clear” his name after a disastrous audition 2 years ago, saying that he had matured and wanted to redeem himself with a good audition. Problem is, George can’t speak English properely let alone sing. He was terrible. His audition was quickly cut short and Gary quipped: “When you said earlier you’ve matured, in what way have you matured? Things mature nicely like a red wine or a cheese but you’ve matured like a bad curry mate.”
Tulisa piped up saying: “I don’t think that you’ve changed at all. You came and stood right next to me, and I felt a lot of aggression off you. You’re very angry.”
The idiot retaliated by calling Tulisa a scumbag from the block and a dog before launching into a barrage of uglyness that saw him being escorted off by security.
Backstage, Dermot gave him a firm warning against calling women names, although I wish Dermot had smacked him one instead. Perhaps George, who is of Greek origin is just jealous of another Greek’s success while he is nothing but a miserable failure covered in tattoos and no clues.
George, you wanted fame and you got it. You will always be remembered as “That prick!!”
The evening belonged to Janet Devlin. We are putting our money on you girl.
