What is the 'X' factor?




 I believe that the 'X' factor has is a mixture of musical ability, personality and performance skills. Without one of these ingredients perhaps that person cannot be described as 'having the X Factor'. Due to this theory surely we can elliminate a number of the contestents from being possible winners of the show. Should i care to go into this further? Why yes i think I just might...

Jamie - Musical ability? Yes, he is a talented singer and guitar player. He has a musician feel to him. You can just tell.
Personality? Definately. However it comes out alot more in the backstage footage on the website and Xtra Factor. His banter with the other contestents.
Performance Skills? I would say yes. Some may not like the inverted knee (he does look a little like hes bursting for the toliet) or the air punches, but you cannot deny that the guy has 'stage presence'

Danyl - Musical ability? Hes one of, if not the, best singer in the competition. He writes his own songs. Need I say more?
Personality? I think this is where people arent quite getting Danyl. In my opinion he seems like a nice guy, I cant see the arrogance that so many others see in him. However i will listen to anything anyone has to say about the matter (provided its not just 'I hate him, he is arrogant and cocky and a bully' - there is no real proof or information there people)
Performance skills? Just go watch his first audition.

Olly - Musical ability? Good singer, great musicality when he dances.
Personality? Soooo much, hes absolutely hilarious. Check the halloween pumpkin costume.
Performance skills? Probably the best performer in the show.

Lucie - Musical ability? She can sing VERY well.
Personality? Not so sure, I mean there is something there, a little bit 'I'm so cute and girly' for my liking though.
Performance skills? I dont think they are that strong, she just doesnt look particually comfortable. The stage kind of eats her up.

Stacey - Musical ability? She got a good voice.
Personality? Bucket loads. I dont think i really need to comment on this one.
Performance skills? Not so much. I know there was a big joke about the fact that Stacey WALKED on saturday night. But maybe theres something in that, it took alot to get her to walk, what its gonna take to get her to really perform?

John and Edward - Musical ability? Err. No comment.
Personalty? Slightly oblivious and mad. But hilarious none the less. They have an amazing attitude to the competition as well.
Performance skills? They go for it, I'll give them that. But I suppose they are a little all over the place. Entertaining, yes. But maybe just because the british love a bit of car crash TV.

Lloyd - Musical ability? He has a mediocre voice with no range whatsoever.
Personality? Doesnt appear to be anything behind the pretty face. (maybe hes just shy, i dont know)
Performance skills? None.

Joe - Musical ability? He has an amazing voice, always in tune. Very consistent.
Personality? He seems like a genuine, nice person. However he doesnt seem to be able to come up with anything more interesting than 'thanks for you comments, I'll take them all on board' to say to the judges.
Performance skills? I wouldnt say hes a natural, but I think he tries really hard and does well at whatever is thrown at him. Hes done well so far.

So in conclusion
taking into account my theory on the 'X' factor, the contestents who have it are : Jamie, Danyl, Olly and maybe Joe.
Think I'm bias? Well maybe i am. But prove me wrong....
