X Factor

Well it's nice that Alexandra won X Factor.

But who wishes it had been JLS?
I mean, they are arguably the first real decent group the show has ever produced, and the first chance for a group to win the show.

With Alex we have another Leona clone, who herself is largely a British version of Mariah, Whitney, or even Toni Braxton. Do we really need another one of these?

As for JLS - this is a great time for a new UK boyband. Westlife have had their day. We have the comebacks of he geriatric "man" bands like Take That and Boyzone. This would be the ideal time for Louis Walsh to make JLS the Next Big Thing.

No doubt he'll be able to do something with them and they'll have a great career. It's their time. But wouldn't it have been great for them to have won X Factor, the £1million contract and started their career with that XMas number one?
